As part of our Blueprint for a Healthy Church series, Pastor Brandon preached from Titus 2:1–8 in a message titled Portraits of Godliness. Just like an art gallery displays portraits that tell a story, Paul shows us that the church is God’s gallery—where men and women of all ages are living portraits of the gospel.

Paul instructs Titus to teach God’s people to live differently from the self-centered culture around them. Older men are to model strength, wisdom, faith, and endurance. Older women are to live reverently, guard their words and desires, and teach what is good.

Younger women are to value faithfulness in the home, loving their husbands and children with devotion that sets them apart from the culture. Young men are to pursue self-control, integrity, and consistency so their lives back up their words.

The message is clear: when the church embraces sound teaching and godly living, the gospel isn’t just preached—it’s displayed in everyday lives. And when the world sees these portraits of godliness, the message of Jesus becomes believable.

In our Blueprint for a Healthy Church series, Alex Sezer preached from Titus 1:10–16 on Confronting Corruption. Paul warned Titus about false teachers spreading empty talk and leading believers astray. Alex reminded us to spot the counterfeit, recognize the cost of compromise, and choose character over culture. Paul gave clear reasons for rebuke—to protect households and preserve the gospel. True faith, Alex emphasized, always produces fruit. A healthy church confronts corruption with courage and conviction so that the gospel remains believable to a watching world.

In our Blueprint for a Healthy Church series, Pastor Brandon preached from Titus 1:5–9 on Godly Leadership. The big idea: When godly leadership is established, sound teaching is embraced, and believers live godly lives—the church becomes healthy and the gospel becomes believable to the watching world.

This Sunday we launched a new series through the book of Titus called Blueprint for a Healthy Church. Pastor Brandon opened with Titus 1:1–4 in a message titled Grace for the Assignment. He began by sharing about his experience teaching and coaching at a Middle School in Houston’s —a hard assignment that seemed impossible. But God reminded him that what He requires, He provides by His grace.

That’s exactly the encouragement Paul gives to Titus. Sent to Crete—a place known for corruption, immorality, and brokenness—Titus was tasked with setting things in order and restoring the church’s witness. An overwhelming assignment. But Paul begins by reminding him of the grace and peace that come from God through Christ.

Pastor Brandon unpacked four truths: Paul’s identity as servant and apostle, his mission to strengthen faith and deepen knowledge of the truth, the eternal confidence anchored in God who cannot lie, and the blessing of grace and peace that empower hard assignments. The big takeaway: Divine assignments come with divine grace.

Just like Titus, we’ve all been entrusted with assignments—in our families, workplaces, and church. They may feel overwhelming, but God’s calling always comes with His grace. His peace brings order out of chaos and His promises never fail. The question for us is: Will we rely on His grace for the assignments He has given?

This Sunday marked a special close to our Who’s Your One series on the gospel and evangelism. Instead of one sermon, twelve different voices from our Salt City family shared their personal testimonies—stories of life before Christ, their encounter with Him, and the transformation after.

In our Who’s Your One series, Pastor Brandon preached from Acts 26:1–29 in a message on the transforming power of a testimony. Just like commercials use “before and after” stories to show transformation, Paul stood before King Agrippa and shared his story—not with arguments or philosophy, but with a testimony of God’s grace.

Brandon reminded us that every believer has a story. We don’t need to be experts or have all the answers—we need to share what Jesus has done for us. Our testimonies remind us of God’s grace and serve as a witness of His power to change others.

This week, pray for an opportunity to share your story. And if you don’t yet know Jesus, today can be your turning point—He invites you out of darkness into His light, offering forgiveness, freedom, and new life. Will you say yes?

As part of our Who’s Your One series, Pastor Brandon preached from Acts 16:11–34 in a message titled Gospel Encounters for Disciples on Mission. Evangelism isn’t about memorizing a script or forcing a conversation—it’s about being available as the gospel shows up in everyday encounters.

In Acts 16, Paul and his companions met three very different people, each needing the same gospel in unique ways. Lydia, the businesswoman, experienced a Truth Encounter—her mind was opened as Paul clearly explained the gospel. The slave girl experienced a Power Encounter—Jesus’ has all power and authority to set people free from demonic strongholds. And the jailer experienced a Witness Encounter—he saw faith lived out through Paul and Silas’ worship in suffering, and experiencing the grace that comes from salvation

Pastor Brandon reminded us that people around us may need truth explained, chains broken, or faith witnessed in action. No matter the encounter, the same gospel meets people where they are, revealing that Jesus is enough. The challenge is clear: Who’s your one—the person God is calling you to pray for, pursue, and share Jesus with?

Continuing in our Who’s Your One series, Pastor Brandon preaches from 2 Corinthians 4:1–6 in a message called The Gospel Is Veiled. Brandon walks through Paul’s encouragement to persevere because of God’s mercy, proclaim the gospel with integrity, recognize the real spiritual barrier, keep the focus on Jesus, and trust God to do the miracle of salvation.

We cannot manipulate people into faith or rely on gimmicks—only the Spirit brings sight to the spiritually blind. Through Paul’s testimony and the modern-day story of David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” turned “Son of Hope,” Brandon shows how God’s light still breaks into the darkest places. The call is clear: don’t give up, keep speaking the truth, and trust the Holy Spirit to open eyes to the glory of Christ.
