  • Endure to the End - 1 Peter 1:3-9

    In this sermon on 1 Peter 1:3–9, Pastor Matthew L. Alexander explores the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints and the living hope believers possess in Christ. Through powerful biblical exposition and the inspiring story of Wilma Rudolph, he shows how God guards, sustains, and strengthens His children through every trial. This message reminds us that our endurance is anchored in new birth, kept by God’s power, purified through trials, and filled with inexpressible joy as we await the salvation of our souls.

  • Friendship of the Father - Exodus 33:1-11

    In this sermon from Exodus 33:1–11, Pastor Matthew L. Alexander explores God’s deep desire for friendship with His people.

  • Venting from a Grieved Heart
    Consider this a venting session... no structure or plan at all. With so much going on simultaneously, it’s been difficult to process any of it. This was a moment to do that, I pray that God speaks to you through it. We are in continuous prayers for all those we’ve lost from COVID-19... those we’ve lost from pure hate... George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Dreasjon Reed, Rayshard Brooks... for the countless women we’ve failed... Oluwatoyin Salau, Kenneka Jenkins... and those we’ve lost because of their identity/sexual orientation, including the many Black Transgender people we’ve lost, often without acknowledgement.
