In this message on the eve of a fasting call to worship, Pastor Josh draws inspiration from the Apostle Paul’s exhortation to the Philippians, he calls the congregation to stand firm in their faith regardless of life’s distractions, struggles, or persecutions. By shifting focus from self-exaltation to magnifying Christ, believers are empowered by God’s grace to maintain their spiritual integrity in both small daily conflicts and significant life crises. As the community enters a 21-day fast, the message serves as a timely reminder to prioritize the Kingdom of God and live as a unified conduit for life-changing hope.

In this episode, we transition from childhood memories of "boring" Christmas ornaments to the profound spiritual reality of the "Precious Pearl"—the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Drawing unique insights from the Gospel of Matthew, we explore how salvation is a treasure of immeasurable value that often becomes covered by the "dust" of life’s distractions, labels, and discouragements. The message challenges us to recognize a second pearl—the pearl of souls—urging us to look past human judgments and labels to see the people Jesus sacrificed everything to redeem. We conclude with a powerful reminder of the "impossible debt" we have been forgiven, calling us to choose mercy over sacrifice and embrace the true heart of the Gospel this season.

In this episode, we explore the miracle of Jesus' birth and the beauty of how God works through humble circumstances and ordinary people. We take a deep dive into the historical weight of Joseph and Mary’s betrothal, examining the internal struggle of choosing God's higher thoughts over our own human understanding. The message offers a powerful invitation to bring our past traumas and insecurities into the light of God's presence to rediscover our true identity as His children. Join us as we reflect on the reality of "God with us" and what it looks like to walk in the fullness of His redeeming love today.

PD uses a memorable analogy of an untrained dog to challenge the congregation to submit to God, making themselves available for His use.

Drawing from Romans 6:15-23, this message asserts that everyone is a "rule follower," and the choice is simply whose rules they will obey: the self-destructive dictates of the flesh that lead to shame and death, or the transformative lordship of God that leads to sanctification and eternal life. Pastor Josh passionately urges the audience to stop just being informed and instead embrace the spiritual transformation and instantaneous freedom available today through Christ, reckoning themselves dead to sin and alive to God.
