  • A THRILL OF HOPE: Work for a Whisper
    In the chaos of life and the weight of mental health struggles, we often seek God in grand, miraculous signs. Yet, as Elijah discovered in 1 Kings 19:11-12, God often reveals Himself in the quiet whisper.
    This sermon explores the significance of listening for God's voice amidst the noise of anxiety, depression, and life's challenges.
    Learn how to find peace, purpose, and renewal in the stillness, trusting that God's gentle whisper holds the power to heal and guide us through our darkest moments.

  • A THRILL OF HOPE: How to Fight the Battle
    The greatest battles we face are often fought within the battlefield of our minds. Using 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, we’ll uncover how to use the weapons God has given us to win the war of our thoughts.
    We'll also draw wisdom from the story of King David, who faced moments of mental and spiritual warfare. From his triumph over Goliath to his struggles in the wilderness, David’s life teaches us how to align our thoughts with God’s truth, overcome fear and doubt, and claim victory through faith and obedience.
    Learn practical strategies to guard your mind, refocus on God’s promises, and walk in the freedom and power He has called you to.

  • CROSSING OVER: We Are at a Turning Point
    Every person faces a defining moment—a turning point that determines the direction of their lives and faith. In Matthew 16:13-17, Jesus asks His disciples the most important question: "Who do you say I am?" Peter's declaration, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God," marks a pivotal moment in understanding who Jesus truly is and what it means to follow Him.
    Our church is at a "turning point" - and if we want to follow God, we can't just stay where we are. In this message, Pastor Adam shares four lessons from this event that we can apply to our own turning point.

  • CROSSING OVER: The Faces of Crossing Over
    In Numbers 13 and 14, the Israelites stand on the edge of their promised land, facing a monumental decision: to move forward in faith or shrink back in fear. This journey to their inheritance is marked by four critical "faces" they must confront—the Face of Opposition, the Face of Temptation, the Face of Opportunity, and the Face of Commitment.
    Each of these challenges mirrors the spiritual choices we face when God calls us to step into His promises. Through the lens of their story, we'll see how we, too, can persevere against opposition, resist the temptation to give up, seize God-given opportunities, and remain fully committed to His purpose, regardless of the obstacles. Join us as we explore how to courageously "cross over" into the abundant life God has prepared.

  • CROSSING OVER: Everybody's Got a Part
    In Mark 4, Jesus tells His disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” As they set sail, a fierce storm erupts, and the disciples, despite their proximity to Jesus, are overtaken by fear. This story captures the essence of life’s journey—facing storms that test our faith, especially when God calls us to "cross over" into the unknown.
    In this sermon, we’ll explore what it means to trust Jesus through every storm, embracing His presence and peace amid uncertainty. When we’re willing to follow where He leads, even through turbulent waters, we discover a greater revelation of His power and a deepened faith. Are we willing to cross over, believing He’s with us no matter the waves?

  • WHO DAT? The Whale and the Worm
    In this message, we’re diving into the story of Jonah, a prophet who’s often seen in a negative light because he ran from God’s calling. But remember, Jonah is listed among the prophets, which means his story holds prophetic truth meant to guide and speak to us today.
    Today’s focus isn’t just on Jonah but on two unnamed instruments of God: the whale and the worm. Though they’re animals without names, they played significant roles in delivering God's message, showcasing His power, and, surprisingly, God’s love.
    This story challenges us to reflect on how God’s justice and mercy are woven into His plans, even when they may seem at odds.

  • WHO DAT? The Praying Church
    In this message, we explore Peter's miraculous escape from prison in Acts 12, highlighting the power of prayer, the struggle with doubt, and the call to steadfast faith as a good soldier of Christ.
    While the church earnestly prayed for Peter's release, they were shocked when God answered their prayers—showing how doubt can sometimes cloud our belief, even in the midst of our prayers.
    As soldiers of Christ, we are called to trust God's sovereignty, persevere in prayer, and stand firm in faith, even when circumstances seem impossible. This message encourages believers to align their hearts with God's will, staying vigilant, prayerful, and ready for His divine intervention.

  • WHO DAT? 5 Wise Virgins
    This message explores the parable of the ten virgins from Matthew 25:1-13, focusing on the stark contrast between the five wise and five foolish virgins.
    The message emphasizes that we don't know the time of Christ’s return, and we must stay spiritually alert and prepared, guarding our faith and devotion.
    Like the wise virgins, we must ensure we have enough "oil", so we are ready when the bridegroom comes.

  • WHO DAT? A Hungry Kid, A Dude With a Donkey, and a Poor Widow That Gave More Than You Did
    Throughout the Bible, we see everyday people who, though nameless, played critical roles in God’s plan by offering what they had, no matter how small or simple.
    The widow gave all she had, trusting God with her last two coins. The young boy with a few loaves and fish offered his lunch, which Jesus multiplied to feed thousands. And a man with a donkey gave what he had when the Lord had need of it, unknowingly setting the stage for Christ's triumphal entry.
    This message will explore the power of faith, generosity, and the willingness to serve, even when we feel what we have to offer seems insignificant. God honors the heart behind the gift, and each small act of obedience can have eternal significance.
    What do you have that the Lord can use?
