Today we begin our new series, B.L.E.S.S., with the first and most essential step: Begin with Prayer. If we are going to live lives that bless others and reflect the heart of Jesus, it has to start with a constant connection to God. Prayer isn't just a box we check or a last resort — it’s the foundation of every movement of faith and love. Jesus Himself modeled a life rooted in prayer, seeking His Father before every major step. In prayer, we align our hearts with God's, open our eyes to the needs around us, and gain the strength to act with boldness and compassion. Beginning with prayer reminds us that we are not working for God on our own strength — we are working with Him, staying in step with His Spirit every day.

Easter is the glorious celebration of Jesus’ resurrection — the triumph of life over death, hope over despair. Because Christ has risen, we are invited to walk in newness of life, no longer bound by the weight of our old selves. The empty tomb declares that sin and death do not have the final word; instead, grace reigns and transformation is possible. Through faith in Jesus, we are raised with Him to live differently — to love deeper, forgive freely, and serve selflessly. Easter isn’t just a day to remember what Jesus has done; it’s a call to live every day in the power of His resurrection, stepping boldly into the new life He secured for us.

On Palm Sunday, we witness the powerful fulfillment of God’s ancient promise—a King from the line of David who would reign forever. As Jesus rides into Jerusalem on a donkey, He doesn’t just fulfill the prophecy of Zechariah; He embodies the long-awaited hope of Israel. The crowds shout “Hosanna,” welcoming a king, yet few understood the kind of King He truly was. In this moment, God’s covenant with David is realized—not through military might or political power, but through the humble, servant-hearted reign of Jesus, the Messiah. This sermon explores how Jesus' triumphal entry reveals God's faithfulness to His promises and invites us to recognize and respond to the true King who brings peace, not just to Jerusalem, but to our hearts.

In a world that often overlooks the value of family, God’s command to “Honor your father and your mother” stands firm—and it comes with a promise. This week, we’ll explore what it truly means to honor our parents, regardless of our age or circumstances, and how this command opens the door to blessing. Join us as we discover the power of obedience, the beauty of grace in family relationships, and the promise of well-being and longevity that comes from living out this timeless truth.

This sermon explores the significance of Christ’s assurance in Matthew 28:20: “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” As Jesus speaks these words, He is commissioning His disciples, sending them out to make more disciples, yet He does not send them alone. This promise of His continual presence is a source of comfort, strength, and confidence for all who follow Him. We will examine how this promise was first given to the apostles, how it extends to all believers today, and how Jesus fulfills it through the Holy Spirit. In moments of fear, uncertainty, or loneliness, we can trust that His presence is not conditional or fleeting—it is constant and unshakable. As we live out our faith, this promise reminds us that we are never alone; Jesus is always with us, guiding, strengthening, and empowering us to carry out His mission.

Many Christians encounter verses that speak of blessings, protection, or provision and wonder if they can claim them personally. To answer this, we must first consider the context—who the promise was originally given to and under what circumstances. Some promises were specific to Israel or certain individuals, while others extend to all believers. By studying Scripture carefully, we can apply God’s promises with wisdom, trust in His faithfulness, and avoid misinterpreting verses for personal gain.

We've all experienced broken promises—whether from friends, family, or even ourselves. Human promises can be well-intentioned but often fail due to weakness, forgetfulness, or changing circumstances. But God's promises? They stand firm. In this episode, we explore what makes God's promises unshakable, how they differ from human words, and why we can trust them completely. Through Scripture and real-life examples, we’ll dive into the unchanging, faithful nature of God's Word and how His promises bring hope and assurance, no matter what we face.
