As the world rushes into Christmas with shopping lists and sparkling distractions, we often miss the One the season is truly about. In this episode, we explore why December 25th was chosen for celebrating Christ’s birth—not as an imitation of pagan festivals, but as a deliberate act of redirection, offering the world a truer and better reason to rejoice.

In John 1:12–13, the Apostle John shifts the story from rejection to redemption—showing us that to receive Jesus and believe in His name is to be reborn as children of God. This new birth isn’t inherited, earned, or decided by others—it’s a miracle of grace.

In this sermon, Pastor Rodney unpacks what it truly means to be “born of God”—to move from creation to new creation, from stranger to son or daughter. To walk on earth, but breath the air of heaven.

As we enter a season of gratitude, we pause to thank God for the greatest gift—Himself. In this message from Luke 4 and John 1, Pastor Rodney shows how Jesus was rejected by His own, yet through that rejection, God accomplished redemption and opened our eyes to His glory.

In this message from Acts 10, Pastor Rodney unpacks the story of Peter and Cornelius—a moment when God’s Spirit shattered the walls between Jew and Gentile.

When the Spirit moves, pride gives way to humility, and strangers become family.

In Acts 1:6–11, we see Jesus’ followers still learning what it means to live on mission — not by their own strength, but by the Spirit’s power. This sermon calls the church to move from watching to witnessing, from waiting idly to living faithfully. The promise of Christ’s return isn’t a reason to stand still; it’s a call to rise up, depend on the Spirit, and live with urgency, hope, and purpose until He comes again.

In Ephesians 5:6-11 we explore Paul’s call to “walk as children of light.” Together, we wrestle with what it means to be freed from the darkness of sin, yet often still tempted to return to it, like prisoners longing for their former cells. Through vivid imagery, practical instruction, and the promise of union with Christ, we uncover how the Spirit empowers us to lead our households in what is good, right, and true, setting our families apart for the glory of God.
