In this powerful message from our TESTIMONY series, we reflect on how giving thanks — even in life’s hardest moments — is not about ignoring pain but declaring God’s presence within it. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, this sermon reminds us that thanksgiving isn’t based on life’s conditions but on the direction of our heart. When we give thanks in all circumstances, we declare: God, I still believe You’re here. I still believe You’re working. I still believe You’re worthy. No matter what you're facing, God is with you… even in this.

Bible Verse:

• 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Family life can feel like walking a tightrope during an earthquake—chaotic, overwhelming, and just plain hard. But what if the mess isn’t the enemy of your calling… what if it’s the evidence of it?

What if the pain in your life isn't punishment… but preparation? In this powerful message, "When the Thorn Stays," we explore Paul’s cry for relief in 2 Corinthians 12 and how God’s response wasn’t removal, but grace. Just like a rock in a shoe can throw off your walk, small, persistent struggles can feel overwhelming—but they might be exactly what God is using to shape you, humble you, and empower you.

Through the acronym T.H.O.R.N., we unpack how God uses tests, thorns, and tension to tune your life for His glory:

• Tested but Trusted
  

• His Grace Over My Grind
  

• Opposition is Opportunity
  

• Resting Place of Power
  

• New Perspective Equals New Power
  

Maybe God’s "no" isn’t rejection—maybe it’s the start of your next level.

🎸 The tighter the string, the clearer the sound. Maybe God is tuning you for something greater.

Bible Verses:

• 2 Corinthians 12:5–10
  

• James 1:2–4

In this inspiring message titled "Expect to Be Changed", we are reminded that God is continually at work in us. Based on 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT), this sermon highlights how every time we gather in God’s presence—especially in church—we are being spiritually transformed.

We are all in process, and that process is led by the Holy Spirit with one ultimate goal: becoming more like Jesus. You’re not meant to stay the same. So come expecting God to reshape you every time you step into His presence.

Bible Verses:

• 2 Corinthians 3:17-18 (NLT)

Key Points:

1. We’re all in process – “We are being transformed…”

2. The transformation is spiritual – “…by the Spirit of the Lord.”

3. The goal is Christlikeness – “…into his image with ever-increasing glory.”

In this powerful message, “The Breaking Point,” we explore how the very things falling apart in your life might actually be the setup for your breakthrough. Drawing from the story of Gideon in Judges 7 and the truth of 2 Corinthians 4, we discover that God doesn’t just allow breaking—He uses it. When what you’ve been leaning on breaks, it reveals what your faith is really built on.

God often reduces our strength to reveal His. Just like fragile clay jars holding divine fire, our brokenness becomes the platform for God's glory. Whether you feel overwhelmed, overlooked, or undone, this message is a reminder: Your breaking isn’t the end. It’s the beginning of breakthrough.

Key Points:

1. God will break what you lean on to reveal what you live for.
   

2. God can work miracles through what feels broken in you.
   

3. When everything breaks, keep breathing and keep believing.
   

This isn’t your breakdown. This is your boiling point. Something’s about to shift. Let the light out.

Bible Verses:

• Judges 7:2–7

• Judges 7:15–22

• 2 Corinthians 4:7–10

In this inspiring message titled "Expect to Participate," we explore the miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 in John 6:1–14. This story reminds us that God invites us to be part of His miracles—not because of what we lack, but because of what we bring in faith.

1. Miracles Begin Where Needs Are Visible – Jesus first asked about the needs before the miracle took place (John 6:5).

2. Small Offerings in Faith Unlock God’s Abundance – A boy’s small lunch was surrendered and used to feed thousands (John 6:9).

3. God Includes Us When We Show Up with What We Have – God doesn’t need perfection, just participation.
   

No matter how little you think you have, God can multiply it when you give it to Him. Show up, surrender, and watch what He does!

Bible Verses:

• John 6:1–14

• John 6:5

• John 6:9
