What happens when you find yourself in a place so dark that you can’t see a way out? In this sermon for the Third Sunday of Easter, Pastor Chris explores how Jesus meets people right where they are—in self-inflicted failure, in painful circumstances, in the darkest places of life. Through the stories of Peter, Saul, and the author of Psalm 30, we’re reminded of this powerful truth: no darkness is too dark for God’s light.

Every story has a beginning — even the story of Easter. In this episode, we look at the beginning of the resurrection story from John 20:19–31 and how it moves from fear behind locked doors to bold witness before the world. As followers of Jesus today, we are invited into that same story. We are called to believe it, live by it, and tell it. Join us as we explore what it means to be storytellers of the resurrection.

In this Easter message, we look at the real source of the problems we face: not just war, grief, or division, but the deeper issues of sin, death, and rebellion against God. Through Luke 24 and 1 Corinthians 15, we discover that the resurrection of Jesus isn't just hopeful—it's historical, and it changes everything.

From the surprise of the empty tomb to the bold claim that Jesus has defeated death itself, this episode invites you to consider what it means to place your hope in the risen King. If the tomb really was empty, we can’t ignore it—and we certainly can’t live the same.

Every great leader has a defining moment—one event that shapes how they’re remembered. For Jesus, that moment wasn’t marked by power, fame, or military triumph, but by a donkey, a crowd with palm branches, and a path toward suffering.

In this Palm Sunday episode, we explore the powerful beginning of Holy Week through the lens of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Drawing from Luke 19, Isaiah 50, and Philippians 2, we discover why Jesus entered the city not with force, but with humility—ready to be crowned with thorns.

Jesus is not just a king. He is our divine, suffering servant king. This week, we walk with him toward the cross, remembering the purpose behind his pain: our redemption.

Join us as we begin the journey of Holy Week—one that starts not with celebration alone, but with a Savior set on saving the world through love, sacrifice, and the cross.

In this episode, we explore one of Jesus' most well-known parables—the story of the prodigal son—and reflect on why it’s so easy to spot the faults of others while ignoring our own. Drawing from a personal story about high school baseball, we consider how pride and comparison can blind us to the work God wants to do in our hearts.

As we journey through Luke 15 and 2 Corinthians 5, we’re reminded that God's grace reaches both the wayward and the self-righteous. Whether you've wandered far or you've stayed close but grown bitter, the message is the same: It’s never too late to be saved.

Join us this Lent as we ask the hard questions, embrace God’s mercy, and learn what it means to live as people of reconciliation.

We all have an internal sense that actions should have consequences—good should be rewarded, and evil should be punished. But when life doesn’t work that way, we wrestle with the idea of fairness. Jesus challenges our assumptions in Luke 13, calling us to something deeper: repentance.

Have you ever been to an escape room? Life can often feel like one—full of challenges and problems we’re trying to solve. But what if there was a real way to escape the greatest problem of all?

This week, we’re looking at how God wants to save you—but are you ready? In this message, we explore God’s promise to Abram, Jesus’ longing to gather His people, and Paul’s call to live as citizens of heaven. Many reject God’s offer, but Lent is a time to reflect and realign our lives on the way of Jesus.

In this episode, we explore the reality of sin, its impact on our lives, and the hope we have in Jesus. Using a personal story about car maintenance gone wrong, we see how small issues, when left unchecked, can grow into much bigger problems—just like sin. Through the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness from Luke 4:1-13, we reflect on how He said no to sin so that we could say yes to Him. As we begin the season of Lent, this message challenges us to take an honest look at our own sin and remember that Jesus is the only solution.

There is a fight right now for your allegiance. Consumerism, political ideologies, celebrity culture, conspiracy theories—countless voices are competing for your time, attention, and devotion. But true allegiance isn’t about dabbling here and there—it’s about going all in.

In this episode, we explore the story of Jesus’ Transfiguration in Luke 9:28-36 and what it reveals about who He truly is. On the mountaintop, Jesus shines with divine glory, standing alongside Moses and Elijah. But more than just a miraculous moment, this event points us to a deeper truth—Jesus is inviting us into a life of full allegiance to Him.

We’ll also connect this to baptism, where we are marked as belonging to God and called to live a new life in Christ. What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? And how does this shape the way we live today?

Join us as we unpack these questions and challenge ourselves to consider: Who has your allegiance?

Why did Jesus come? More than just a great teacher, Jesus came to establish the Kingdom of God through preaching, healing, and casting out demons. But his mission didn’t end there—he called his followers to continue his work. In this sermon, Pastor Chris explores Luke 4-5 and 1 Corinthians 15 to see what it means for us today.
