In Just Ask, Pastor Brandon unpacks Jesus’ prayer, “Give us today our daily bread,” showing that spiritual maturity isn’t greater independence from God—it’s greater dependence on God. Because God is our Father, we can boldly ask Him for everything we need and trust Him completely with the answer.

Whether we know exactly what we need, struggle to find the words, or are waiting on an answer, Jesus invites us to keep asking. The Father knows our needs, the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, and God can be trusted with both our requests and His timing.

As we continue the series called When We Prayer, Pastor Brandon in Part 2 of the sermon called Eyes on God, walks through the Lord’s Prayer as a pattern for keeping our hearts focused on God. Jesus teaches us that when we pray when need to remember who God is, represent His name, and seek His Kingdom while surrendering to His will.

At the heart of prayer are two realities: God is worthy, and we are needy. Through praise, thanksgiving, surrender, and seeking God’s Kingdom, prayer moves us away from self-sufficiency and teaches us to depend on our Father, live for His glory, and desire His rule and reign in every area of our lives.

In the opening message of the When We Pray series, Pastor Brandon teaches that prayer begins by fixing our eyes on God because His eyes are on us. Walking through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6, he contrasts three audiences in prayer: praying to impress people, praying to an unknown god through empty repetition, and praying to our heavenly Father who sees, knows, and welcomes His children.

Pastor Brandon reminds us that prayer is not about performance or formulas but about intimate communion with God through Jesus Christ. Whether our prayer life is sailing, rowing, drifting, or sinking, the invitation remains the same: turn your eyes back to the Father, who already sees you, knows your needs, and invites you into a deeper relationship with Him

In this message, Guest Preacher Michael challenges listeners with a life-changing question: Do you truly know Jesus, or do you simply know about Him? Through examples such as the demons, the Pharisees, the fortune-telling slave girl, and the seven sons of Sceva, he demonstrates that knowledge about Jesus is not the same as having a personal relationship with Him.

Contrasting these examples with the woman at the well, Paul, Peter, Zacchaeus, and those who recognize the Shepherd's voice, Michael calls believers to pursue an authentic, life-transforming relationship with Christ. The message reminds us that Jesus offers abundant life to those who know Him personally, trust His voice, and faithfully walk with Him each day.

In this message, Guest Preacher Alex Sezar explores what it means to find lasting contentment in Christ rather than in changing circumstances. Teaching from Philippians 4:10–13, he identifies three "contentment killers"—complaining, comparison, and control—and contrasts them with biblical habits that cultivate a heart of peace and trust in God.

Alex encourages believers to practice gratitude, predetermined praise, and an eternal perspective by fixing their eyes on Jesus instead of their circumstances. While circumstances constantly change, Christ remains faithful, providing everything we need to live with joy, peace, and contentment in every season.

In this message, Guest Preacher Eric Anderson reminds us that God often does His deepest work in the seasons we least understand. Walking through 2 Corinthians 4, he shows how hard seasons reveal our fragility and apply real pressure, but pressure does not mean destruction, and confusion does not mean God has abandoned us.

Even when life knocks us down, God still has the final word. Our weakness becomes an opportunity for the power and life of Jesus to be revealed in and through us. This message encourages believers to endure difficult seasons with confidence, trusting that God is at work and Christ is being made visible through our lives.

In this message, Guest Preacher Chris Thompson teaches from the parable of the Good Samaritan, reminding believers that Christ calls His church to move toward people in their suffering with compassion.

True compassion goes beyond pity or sympathy—it takes action by showing up, offering practical care, and walking alongside those who are hurting.

Chris encourages the church to overcome fear, discomfort, and excuses by simply being present. Through practical biblical wisdom, he explains that we don't have to have all the answers or fix someone's pain; often the greatest ministry is listening, validating their hurt, and reminding them they are not alone. Because Christ first moved toward us in compassion, we are called to move toward others and faithfully "just show up."

In this message, Guest Preacher Eric Patrick challenges believers to embrace a lifestyle of Christlike service. Preaching from 1 Peter 4:9–11, he reminds the church that true service flows from a heart of love, compassion, and generosity, meeting the needs of others without seeking recognition or reward.

Eric highlights four biblical reasons to serve in the local church: Serving displays joyful generosity,

The message encourages every believer to move beyond simply knowing and feeling God's truth by putting their faith into action, reminding us that service is about shifting from head and heart to hands.

In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks the life-changing truth of what it means to be adopted into God's family through Christ.

Walking through Romans 8:12–17, he shows that believers are led, loved, blessed, and formed as sons and daughters of God. Rather than living as spiritual orphans driven by fear and performance, Christians are invited to experience the intimacy of crying, "Abba, Father," resting securely in the Father's love and care.

Pastor Brandon also explores how our earthly view of fatherhood often shapes our relationship with God, calling believers to renew their minds and embrace the Father's perfect love. Through the gospel, our debt has been canceled, our identity has been changed, our inheritance is God Himself, and even our suffering becomes part of the Father's work of forming us into the image of Christ.

In Part 5 of the Spiritual Gifts series, Pastor Brandon explores the gifts of distinguishing between spirits, tongues, and interpretation of tongues. He explains how the gift of discernment helps believers identify whether a spiritual influence originates from God, human flesh, or demonic deception, enabling the church to respond wisely and biblically.

The message also examines the biblical purpose of tongues throughout Acts and 1 Corinthians, showing how God uses this gift for prayer, praise, thanksgiving, personal edification, and at times cross-cultural gospel witness. Pastor Brandon emphasizes that spiritual gifts are given to build up the body of Christ and must be exercised with both freedom and order.

Finally, he provides practical guidance for how these gifts should function within the local church, encouraging believers to pursue the work of the Holy Spirit while remaining grounded in Scripture, humility, love, and the edification of others
