What does it really mean when the angels proclaimed, “Peace on earth”? In this message, we explore the promise of peace announced at Jesus’ birth and confront the tension between that declaration and the anxiety, conflict, and uncertainty we experience today. Drawing from Luke 2, John 14, Philippians 4, and Lamentations 3, this message reveals that God’s peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Christ. Discover how biblical peace differs from what the world offers, how it guards our hearts in the midst of fear, and why the faithfulness of God remains our unshakable source of hope.

In this message we uncover the meaning behind the very first sign God ever gave—a sign announced in Genesis, confirmed in Isaiah, and fulfilled in Bethlehem. This teaching explores how Christmas doesn’t begin with decorations or traditions, but with a divine interruption: the promise of an impossible birth that would change human history. You’ll discover why the sign matters, how it points directly to God’s indescribable Gift, and how seeing it clearly can reshape your entire Christmas season. If you’ve ever wondered what God is really trying to show you at Christmas, this message will help you see the season—and the Savior—with fresh clarity and renewed faith. 

Reference Verse: Isaiah 7:14

The message walks us through what really happened at the Lord’s Table. First, we look at the night Jesus was betrayed and see that heaven intentionally set that Table. In something as simple as bread and a cup, God placed forgiveness, covenant, and provision—long before we ever knew we’d need them. Then we see why Jesus had to reveal this moment again to Paul: the church understood the ritual, but they hadn’t yet understood the revelation. Paul shows us that the power of Communion is unlocked through discernment. And finally, we unwrap the gifts hidden at the Table—health, strength, and long life—the exact opposites of what happens when at the Table the Lord's supper is taken without understanding. These gifts aren’t symbolic; they’re meant to be received now and ultimately fulfilled at the heavenly Table with Christ.

The sermon traces Abraham’s conversation with God in Genesis 22, showing how God leads His people through four distinct phases: calling, obedience, questioning, and provision. First, Abraham responds to God’s voice with availability—“Here I am”—demonstrating that faith begins with surrender. Second, God asks for what Abraham treasures most, revealing that obedience often requires costly trust. Third, as doubt rises on the journey, Isaac’s question, “Where is the lamb?” captures the tension every believer faces when obedience meets uncertainty. Abraham’s prophetic reply—“God Himself will provide”—points to the final movement: God’s unshakeable provision. Ultimately, the story prepares us for the greater truth fulfilled in Romans 8:32: what God didn’t allow Abraham to do, He did with His own Son. 

Reference Verse: Genesis 22:1-15

The central thread of this message is that God is actively looking for faith—not titles, not achievements, not self-righteousness, but a heart that leans on Him. Through Luke 18, Jesus reveals five portraits: the persistent widow whose faith refuses to quit, the tax collector whose faith is humble, the children whose faith is simple, the rich ruler whose faith is tested, and the blind beggar whose faith is desperate and bold. Each scene asks us the same question: What kind of faith lives in you? Scripture reminds us that without faith it is impossible to please God, yet He responds quickly to those who cry out day and night. In a world full of folly and self-confidence, will Jesus find in us the kind of faith He’s looking for? 

Reference Verse: Luke 18

Even as believers we can be disappointed. What we need is Fellowship, Scriptures and Jesus to be restored.

The main points of the sermon “Arguments to Altars” center on how God meets us in our deepest struggles—when pain and fear collide.
Both Job and Jacob represent two sides of the human wrestle: Job argues from pain, Jacob wrestles from fear. Each discovers that God doesn’t always give explanations—He gives His presence. Through the struggle, Job gains new sight (“My eyes have seen You”) and Jacob gains a new identity (“You shall be called Israel”).
Their arguments become altars—places of surrender and transformation. Ultimately, both stories point to Jesus, who in Gethsemane faced the ultimate collision of pain and fear and turned it into redemption. The sermon calls listeners to let their own wrestling become worship—where fear becomes faith and control gives way to surrender. 

Reference verse: Genesis 32:30

We will all go through valleys in life. But looking at Psalm 13, we can learn what to do when life feels dark. Following the example of David, we learn to make prayer our first response, not our last resort. We trust in God‘s promises. And we worship God and remember all He has done for us in the past. 

Reference Verse: Psalm 13

The sermon “God Still Speaks” centers on 1 Samuel 3:1–10, showing that God’s voice has never gone silent — He still speaks to those who will listen. The first point, “Silence Is Not Absence,” teaches that when God seems quiet, He is preparing our hearts to hear Him more clearly. The second point, “The Voice You Recognize,” reminds us that relationship precedes recognition — we learn to discern His voice through knowing His Word. The third point, “Availability Unlocks Audibility,” reveals that hearing God requires surrender and stillness, not hurry. Like Samuel, when we stop running and start listening, God turns communication into communion. The message ends by pointing to Jesus, the greater Samuel, through whom God has spoken once and for all — the Word made flesh. 

Reference Verse: 1 Samuel 3:1-10, 21

The key lesson of the sermon “Make Room” is that growth begins with faith before it’s visible. God calls us to enlarge our vision, strengthen our foundation, and make room for what He’s about to do—not after we see it, but in anticipation of His promise. Just as Isaiah urged God’s people to stretch their tents before the blessing arrived, we too must prepare our hearts, minds, and church for expansion.

The takeaway is this: when we make room for God—through faith, obedience, and surrender—He fills that space with His presence, provision, and purpose. Every stretch, every act of faith, is an invitation for Christ to dwell more fully in us and through us.
