What is your anger trying to tell you? In this sermon, we explore how anger can reveal what we love, fear, or feel we need to protect.

Learn to pause, name what you feel, repair hurt, and trust God’s kindness as you grow in emotional and spiritual maturity in all your everyday relationships.

How can Christians share Jesus with people who seem indifferent to faith? In this sermon, Paul’s encounter in Athens offers a hopeful model for awakening spiritual curiosity without pressure or pretense. Learn how presence, thoughtful questions, genuine affirmation, courageous words, uncommon mercy, and Christlike character can build trust and point others toward Jesus. We cannot control another person’s response, but we can faithfully prepare the ground, plant gospel seeds, and trust the Holy Spirit fully.

This sermon explores how Christians can help people move from distrust to trust—not through arguments or pressure, but by becoming trustworthy. Drawing from Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman, it offers five practical responses: pray, listen closely, move toward people, affirm what is good, and welcome them into community. It also challenges the church to live visibly good, distinctive lives marked by integrity, mercy, forgiveness, and love, so others can encounter Jesus through us.
