Renewal Church

This week, Pastor Ulysses continues our series with a message from Romans 1:16–26. In the passage, Paul makes it clear that he is not ashamed of the gospel, which challenges us to examine our own confidence in our faith. Pastor Ulysses walks us through various reasons why belief in God is not only reasonable, but essential, and reminds us that the gospel remains the power of God for salvation to all who believe.

This week, Pastor Ulysses begins our new series in Romans with a message from Romans 1:1–15. Paul reminds us that we’ve been bought by the blood of Jesus and called to serve His kingdom. Through the sermon we learn what it means to understand God’s calling rightly and find joy in living fully for the gospel.

This week, we continue in Psalm 134, a passage dedicated to those who have felt unseen or forgotten. As the final Song of Ascent, it reminds us that God sees and values those who serve Him in quiet, hidden moments, just as the priests and Levites kept watch in the temple through the night. We are encouraged that our faithful service matters to God, and He is always deserving of our praise.

This week, Pastor Jonathan continues our series through the Psalms with a message from Psalm 132. In this passage, we see a prayer for God’s blessing on account of King David—and God’s gracious and unexpected response. Pastor Jonathan unpacks what this exchange reveals about the true source of blessing in our lives and challenges us to reframe how we view sacrifice in light of God’s ultimate sacrifice for us.

Pastor Ulysses continues the sermon series this week with Psalm 131. This is one of the shortest Psalms in Bible at only three verses, but it’s a powerful one through which we learn about pride and hope. Is pride causing us to set our sights too high? Are we putting our worth and value in worldly factors like wealth or relationships? Where is our hope at the end of the day?

This week, Pastor Ulysses begins our new sermon series with a message from Psalm 130. He breaks the psalm into four sections: crying out to God, reckoning with our sin and need for mercy, longing for the Lord’s redemption, and proclaiming His steadfast love to others. Through this, we are reminded that our greatest hope is found in God’s mercy and His promise to redeem us from all our sins.

This week, Pastor Ulysses concludes our sermon series on the book of 1 John with a message from 1 John 5:13–21. In this passage, we’re reminded of our identity as believers, the confidence we can have in prayer, and the seriousness of sin. Lastly, John closes by showing us how our actions reveal the idols that compete for our hearts and our need to guard ourselves by remaining steadfast in Christ.
