In this message, Pastor Stephen continues his teaching on the mandate every believer has to make disciples. Though our default is selfishness, we can change who we are by yielding in obedience to follow Jesus’ model of selflessness.

Our nature is selfish, and if we don't directly choose behaviors that oppose our selfishness, we will become self-absorbed by default. If you find yourself in a season of disillusionment, criticalness, or confusion, consider if you've laid down the commission to make disciples. Even "Christians" who aren't about loving and making disciples can quickly default to a critical and unsettled disposition. It is blatant blindness to think you can grow in a love relationship with Jesus while you neglect those around you who are headed to an eternal Hell. In this message, Pastor Stephen teaches on the mandate every believer has to make disciples.

Worship does a few powerful things for us. Worship enables us to glimpse Jesus. Experiencing Him empowers us to fulfill our purpose and cultivate our lives, families, and communities. In worship, we also hear God’s wisdom, and He strengthens our hearts to obey Him. In worship, we are broken of our selfishness and can feel the God’s heart for the lost. All these dynamics can happen in the act of worship. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen unfolds how the regular practice of worship can impact and transform your life.

Something feels off. You’ve sensed it—a recurring hesitation deep within your soul, like hitting an invisible wall of despair. You’ve tried to piece together the patterns of struggle, searching for answers, longing for relief. You’re not alone in this, and there is hope. Healing and freedom from the wounds you carry are possible. In this podcast, Pastor Stephen dives into the dynamics of healing soul wounds. It’s time to break free from the darkness holding you back and step into the light of freedom.

It's not a secret. Giving what you cherish most to the ones you love cultivates a deep connection. As your heart can be moved by the ones who sacrifice much for you, God's heart is moved when you meet Him at the altar of personal sacrifice. When you meet Jesus daily at the altar of self-denial, you can provoke a Biblical dynamic that has proven to attract His presence, power, and blessing into your life. In this message, Pastor Stephen teaches how approaching the altar of self-denial can transform your relationship with Jesus and draw you closer to His greatness.

Every follower of Jesus is part of a greater story that extends beyond their personal salvation. From His miraculous advent to His proclamation as His ministry began, there was no doubt about the work Jesus came to fulfill. He came to usher in His kingdom. From the calling of His disciples to His calling today, you are invited to enter through the same process of passage. In this teaching, Pastor Stephen unfolds how to enter the kingdom life by being "poor in spirit."

Every follower of Jesus desires to experience more of His presence. He draws close as you practice His kingdom reign (or way of thinking) in your daily life patterns. When you experience a glimpse of His closeness, you’ll find your heart longing for Him to work through you. How does He work through you? Discover a few simple and presence-driven practices to experience more of Jesus.

When we begin to experience God in our relationships, it is a doorway to sustaining His presence not only in our Church but also in our homes and places of work. Close relationships serve a two-fold purpose. They are a mirror by which we see ourselves. The closer we get to people, the more we know about ourselves. They are also the lenses through which we understand and experience God. In this message, Pastor Stephen will unfold how you can experience God’s presence in close relationships. 

When we say, "I'm following Jesus," where exactly are you following Him? Heaven?

Many feel they follow Jesus with good behaviors because they hope for a good life today and a subsequently good eternal life. As we all know, our good behavior cannot earn or purchase this everlasting life. Still, we feel that wrong or immoral behaviors can jeopardize the immediate and potential eternal reward of following Jesus. 

Is this work-for-reward arrangement in the Scriptures? In no place do we hear Jesus or His apostles offering followers a faith-laced idea of this sort. Jesus didn't provide followers a pathway to be "good people" to enjoy a "good life" and gain a good afterlife. In a seemingly different context, He made declarations about His coming Kingdom. The proofs of those who advance into His Kingdom would consist of, according to Matthew chapter 5, mourners who needed comfort, gentle and submissive ones who would inherit the earth, those who hunger and were thirst-driven for righteousness, and ones who obtain mercy by being merciful. His followers were to be peacemakers amidst calamities. Jesus also noted that His followers would be persecuted. They would be derided for His sake. However, they would experience a greater reward in His Kingdom. 

Is this the life you experience? Are you in this Kingdom? It's easy to minimize the life Jesus came to deliver to mere religious adherence, but what if there is more to following Him than you've been experiencing? Listen in as Pastor Stephen discusses this in this message.

As an immigrant to the United States, I’m moved by the founding fathers' dedication to creating a “more perfect union” and the foresight they had to lay the foundation of a “nation under God.” The revolution's leaders were families who worked the principles that sustained their lives into a government for future generations. Just as they prayed for God’s great wisdom, we as a nation now need His intervention in our land. In this message, I’ll share how you can bring the influence of God’s Kingdom into your family and community and intercede for our nation.
