This is the fourth sermon in our new sermon series, "After God's Heart", preached by Rev. Pete Nicholas.

The most important part of a person is the part no one can see.

In this sermon from the After God's Heart series, Pete Nicholas explores 1 Samuel 16:1–13, where God rejects Saul and chooses David, revealing that the Lord does not look at outward appearance but at the heart. The passage exposes how outward strength can conceal inner disorder and mislead our judgment of what matters most.

David’s unexpected anointing points forward to Jesus, the true King with a perfectly undivided heart, who gives His life for ours and offers us new hearts shaped by His Spirit.

This is the third sermon in our new sermon series, "After God's Heart", preached by Rev. Pete Nicholas.

This is a special message from Pastor Pete Nicholas challenging us with the question how to respond in violent times with hope.

What happens when prayer is not our last resort?

In this sermon from the After God’s Heart series, Pete Nicholas explores 1 Samuel 1–2 and the story of Hannah, a woman marked by deep pain, honest prayer, and unexpected hope. Set in a time when Israel feels spiritually empty and directionless, her personal anguish becomes the place where God begins to stir renewal for an entire nation.

Rather than retreating into despair, Hannah brings her longing before the Lord with a faith that sees God as both deeply loving and fully powerful. Her prayer becomes the turning point not only of her own story, but of Israel’s future.

This sermon invites us to rediscover prayer not as a last resort, but as the first movement of faith.

This is the first sermon in our new sermon series, "After God's Heart", preached by Rev. Pete Nicholas.

What kind of future can actually withstand disappointment, failure, and loss?

In this sermon from the Every Blessing series, Matt Terrell explores Ephesians 1:3–14 and the deep human longing for significance, security, and lasting joy. In a culture that constantly pushes us to achieve more, perform better, and build our own sense of worth, the search for glory can leave us anxious, exhausted, and never quite satisfied.

But the gospel offers a radically different vision. Through Jesus, God is not inviting us to earn significance for ourselves, but to receive it as a gift. This sermon explores how Christ restores what was lost, secures an eternal inheritance for His people, and gives us a hope strong enough to endure life's disappointments without despair.

This is the sixth sermon in our new sermon series, "Every Blessing", preached by Rev. Matt Terrell.

What do you do when you're no longer sure where you belong?

In this sermon from the Every Blessing series, Charles Chung explores Ephesians 1:3–14 and the promise that believers are “sealed” with the Holy Spirit. In a world marked by insecurity, doubt, and the constant pressure to prove ourselves, it can be difficult to trust that we are truly loved, accepted, and secure.

This message explores how the Holy Spirit assures us of who and whose we are. Through faith in Jesus, we are united to Christ, marked as God's own, and given a lasting confidence that rests not in our ability to hold onto Him, but in His power to hold onto us. The strength of our assurance ultimately comes from the One who saves.

This is the fifth sermon in our new sermon series, "Every Blessing", preached by Rev. Charles Chung.
