In this message from our series The Weeping Prophet, we turn to Jeremiah 18 and one of Scripture’s most powerful images: God as the potter and His people as the clay.

God sends Jeremiah to a potter’s house, where he watches a vessel become marred in the potter’s hands. Instead of throwing the clay away, the potter reworks it into something new. Through this picture, God reminds Israel that He has not abandoned His people—but He is calling them to repentance and allowing Himself to reshape them.

This message explores what it means to recognize that we are still works in progress. Our failures, wounds, sins, and past mistakes do not have to be the final word about who we are. God’s grace does not simply forgive us; it transforms us.

But Jeremiah also gives us a warning. The clay can resist the potter. God’s sovereignty does not make our choices meaningless, and His grace is not permission to remain unchanged. We are called to repent, surrender, and allow God to continue His work within us.

Ultimately, the image of the potter points us toward Jesus Christ—the Creator who entered His own creation, took on human flesh, bore our sin on the cross, and rose again to make us a new creation.

If you feel broken, remember: the potter has not thrown you away. He is still working.

If you have wandered, return.

If you have failed, receive His grace.

If you are being shaped through a difficult season, trust His hands.

In this message from our study of The Weeping Prophet, we turn to Jeremiah 12 and one of the most difficult questions believers have asked throughout history: Why do the wicked seem to prosper while the faithful suffer?Jeremiah brings his anguish honestly before God, asking why those who act wickedly appear to thrive. God's response reminds Jeremiah that the road ahead will not always be easy—and that faithfulness requires endurance through trials.This message explores how Jeremiah's hope was rooted in the promises of God and how the story of Scripture points toward a greater deliverance: Jesus Christ and the hope of the New Exodus. From the Exodus and the prophets to the Psalms, Job, and ultimately Christ's death and resurrection, we see a consistent message: suffering is real, but it is not the end.Like Asaph in Psalm 73, we often struggle when our present circumstances seem unfair. Yet when we draw near to God, gather with His people, worship, pray, and return to His Word, we gain an eternal perspective.Our hope is found in the risen Christ—the One who has brought us freedom from sin and who will one day bring complete justice, mercy, and restoration.Trials will come. Suffering will come. But deliverance will come too.

In this message from our series The Weeping Prophet, we continue through the book of Jeremiah and examine Jeremiah 7, where the prophet delivers a powerful warning against fake faith.

Standing at the entrance of the temple, Jeremiah confronts a people who had become deeply religious while growing increasingly distant from God. They trusted in the temple, their rituals, their religious activities, and their outward appearance while neglecting repentance, justice, obedience, and genuine faith.

This message explores the danger of confusing religious activity with a transformed heart. Jeremiah’s warning is echoed centuries later by Jesus when He confronts the religious leaders and declares that the temple had become a “den of robbers.” Both Jeremiah and Jesus expose the same problem: using religion as a refuge while refusing to surrender our lives to God.

We can attend church, study Scripture, serve others, know the right doctrines, and say the right things—and still have a heart that is far from God. The question is not simply whether our faith looks good from the outside, but whether it is producing real fruit: repentance, holiness, mercy, justice, obedience, and love.

Ultimately, the answer to fake faith is not abandoning Christianity. It is genuine discipleship, repentance, surrender, and faith in Jesus Christ.

Is your faith producing real fruit, or are you simply displaying the appearance of faith?

In this message from our series The Weeping Prophet, we continue through the book of Jeremiah and examine Jeremiah 6:10–21, focusing on God’s call to His people to “stand by the roads and look, and ask for the ancient paths.”

Jeremiah warns of the danger of walking away from God while chasing whatever appears newer, easier, or more appealing. The ancient paths are not about nostalgia or blindly following tradition—they are about returning to the truth God has already revealed and walking faithfully in the good way.

This message explores the importance of Scripture, the wisdom of the historic Christian faith, the role of creeds and confessions, and the responsibility each generation has to faithfully pass the Gospel on to the next. Ultimately, the ancient paths do not lead us backward—they lead us to Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth, and the life.

As Jeremiah reminds us, knowing the right path is not enough. We must be willing to walk in it.

“Ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it, and find rest for your souls.” — Jeremiah 6:16

In this message from our series The Weeping Prophet, we continue through the book of Jeremiah and explore one of Scripture’s most powerful images: “broken cisterns that can hold no water.”

Jeremiah 2 reveals God’s heartbreak over His people turning away from Him—the fountain of living waters—and seeking satisfaction, security, and fulfillment in things that ultimately cannot satisfy. Through the imagery of cisterns, idols, and empty promises, we are challenged to consider the “broken cisterns” we may be relying on in our own lives.

The message also points us toward Jesus Christ, the true source of living water. As Jesus says in John 7, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”

Where are you drinking from? What have you trusted to give you the fulfillment that only God can provide?

The fountain is still flowing, and Christ’s invitation still stands: Come thirsty. Come weary. Come broken. Come and drink.

In the first message of our new series, The Weeping Prophet, we begin exploring the life and calling of the prophet Jeremiah. This sermon examines Jeremiah 1, highlighting God's sovereign call, Jeremiah's initial hesitation, and the powerful truth that God equips those He calls. We also look at why Jeremiah became known as "The Weeping Prophet," how his ministry points us to Jesus Christ, and what his story teaches us about trusting God's presence in the midst of fear, uncertainty, and weakness. Whether you feel too young, too old, or unqualified, this message is a reminder that God knows you, calls you, and faithfully equips you for His purposes.

In this final message of the Wesley devotional series, the sermon explores John Wesley’s “A Caution Against Bigotry,”arguing that the greatest danger is not merely prejudice but believing that God only works through our denomination, tradition, or theological camp. Using Mark 9:38–41, where Jesus rebukes the disciples for trying to stop someone casting out demons in His name because “he was not following us,” the sermon contrasts tribalism with Christ’s kingdom, which is recognized by its fruit rather than denominational labels.

The message carefully distinguishes Christian unity from theological compromise. Christians are not called to embrace false teaching or ignore heresy, but they are called to rejoice whenever faithful believers outside their own tradition preach Christ, lead people to repentance, and bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Drawing on Wesley, C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity, and examples from church history—including the restored friendship between John Wesley and George Whitefield—the sermon encourages believers to hold firmly to biblical truth while practicing humility, charity, and cooperation with other faithful Christian traditions. The central challenge is simple: instead of asking, “Are they one of us?” Christians should ask, “Are they faithfully following Jesus?” Wherever Christ is preached, lives are transformed, and God is glorified, the church should rejoice together rather than compete.

“Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 3:12 (LSB)

Part of our The Devotional Wesley sermon series, this message explores John Wesley’s doctrine of Christian Perfectionand what it truly means to be made holy. Contrary to common misconceptions, Wesley teaches that Christian perfection is not sinless flawlessness, but a life increasingly shaped by perfect love for God and neighbor through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Philippians 3 and the witness of the early Church, we examine how God uses the means of grace to restore His image within us and lead us toward Christlikeness. This message challenges us not to settle for forgiveness alone, but to pursue a life continually transformed by God’s grace and perfected in love.

“From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from My statutes and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says Yahweh of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’" - Malachi 3:7 (LSB)

Part of our The Devotional Wesley sermon series, this message explores John Wesley’s sermon The Means of Grace and the practical ways God nurtures and strengthens the Christian life. Focusing on prayer, the study of Scripture, and Holy Communion, we examine how these ordinary practices become extraordinary channels through which God pours out His grace. Wesley reminds us that these means are not ways to earn salvation, but gifts that draw us into a deeper relationship with Christ. As we reflect on the importance of faithful spiritual disciplines and the real presence of Christ at His table, this message encourages us to embrace the means of grace with renewed joy, trusting that God faithfully meets His people through them.

“And when they had prayed earnestly, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with confidence.” - Acts 4:31 (LSB)

Part of our The Devotional Wesley sermon series, we’re joined by guest speaker Josh Pearsall as he explores John Wesley’s classic sermon Scriptural Christianity. Looking to the life of the early Church in the book of Acts, Wesley paints a vision of authentic Christianity—not merely a profession of faith, but a life transformed by the Holy Spirit and marked by holiness, love, and joyful obedience to Christ. As Josh unpacks Wesley’s challenge to the Church of his day, we’re invited to ask whether our own lives reflect the faith of the apostles and to consider how God’s kingdom can be made visible through us. This message calls us to embrace the means of grace, pursue holiness, and live as faithful witnesses to the transforming power of the gospel.
