In this message, we explore how the Spirit purifies our lives, transforms our desires, and makes us the new temple of God. When we repent and “clean house,” we make room for the fullness of God’s presence and power. If you’ve been longing for a deeper move of the Spirit, it begins here — with holiness, repentance, and renewal.

Have you ever felt like your relationship with God has grown routine — full of right beliefs and good habits, but missing real connection and relationship? In this message, we’re reminded that faith isn’t just about knowing about God, but truly experiencing Him. From the psalms that cry out for God’s presence to Jesus’ promise that He stands at the door and knocks, this sermon invites you to open your heart again — to encounter the Holy Spirit, to rekindle love that’s grown cold, and to discover the deep intimacy God desires with His people.

Have you ever really needed help—but just couldn’t bring yourself to ask for it? Maybe you’ve tried to push through life’s tight corners with an “I’ve got this!” attitude, only to be left with scars and frustration. The truth is, following Jesus isn’t something we were meant to do alone. That’s why, on the night before His crucifixion, Jesus promised His disciples “another Advocate”—the Holy Spirit.

In this message, we explore what Jesus meant when He introduced the Paraclete in John 14. The Holy Spirit is our Helper when we’re weak, our Comforter when we’re overwhelmed, our Advocate when we can’t stand on our own, and our Counselor who guides us into truth. Far from leaving us as orphans, Jesus sends the Spirit to be with us and in us, forever.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of trying to follow Christ on your own strength, this message is an invitation to rediscover the Spirit’s presence and power.

What if I told you it’s better to have the Holy Spirit living in you than to have Jesus sitting across the table from you? That’s exactly what Jesus Himself said in John 16:7. In this third part of our series on the Holy Spirit, we explore where the Spirit is, who has Him, and how He works in the world and in the lives of believers. From sustaining all life, to indwelling those who put their faith in Christ, to filling and empowering His people again and again, Scripture paints a picture of God’s presence that is personal, powerful, and available. Join us as we unpack the reality of walking in the Spirit—and why this is God’s very best for us today.

Many people think of the Holy Spirit as a “New Testament thing” — showing up at Pentecost or in the 20th-century Pentecostal revival. But in reality, the Spirit of God has been active since the very beginning.

In this message, Pastor Joel walks through the Old Testament to show how the Holy Spirit has always been at work — empowering Joseph to interpret dreams, filling Moses and the elders with wisdom, giving courage to the judges of Israel, rushing upon kings like Saul and David, and raising prophets like Ezekiel to speak God’s word.

The Spirit is not a novelty or an afterthought. He is eternal, good, and essential for fulfilling God’s calling on your life. If you’ve ever wondered how the Old Testament believers experienced the Spirit, and what that means for us today, this sermon will give you a firm biblical foundation.

Join us as we continue building our understanding of the Holy Spirit, learning to yearn for His presence, and discovering what it means to walk in His power.

Who is the Holy Spirit? A mysterious force? A quiet whisper? A power to be tapped into? Like the Force in Star Wars? A Person to know and walk with?

This fall, we’re diving into a brand-new series on the Holy Spirit — exploring His story in Scripture, His work in our lives, and how He equips us with gifts, fruit, and power for mission.

Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are just curious about faith, this series will challenge, inspire, and invite you deeper.

Listen in for the conclusion of the Choose Joy series, looking into the final verses of Philippians revealing transformative reasons why we can choose joy in Christ.

Anxiety has a way of stealing our peace and robbing us of joy. In Philippians 4, Paul gives us a better way: thankful prayer, gentle love, and trust in a God who is always near. This message unpacks how choosing joy isn’t about denying our struggles, but about experiencing the peace of God that guards our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. If worry has been weighing you down, this passage offers real hope and a practical path to joy.

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of struggle, battling the same challenges over and over? Maybe it’s anger, anxiety, or a habit you long to break free from. In this podcast, we’re diving into a heartfelt message about forgetting what’s behind and pressing on toward the prize in Christ Jesus. As we continue in Philippians, we’ll explore how God’s forgiveness allows us to let go of guilt and shame, and how, as citizens of heaven, we’re called to live for a greater purpose. No matter where you are in your journey, this is a message of hope, healing, and transformation.

Continue in the Philippian journey as Pastor Joel preaches about the joy we find when we come to recognize one powerful truth, "I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord."
