In this powerful message, Brenden unpacks the true meaning of stewardship — living as people entrusted by God with His creation, His gospel, and every good gift in our lives.

Drawing from Psalm 24:1 — “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” — we’re reminded that God owns everything, possessions are temporary, and we are managers, not owners.

Brenden explores what it means to:
🌍 Steward the globe — caring for creation and seeking justice.
📖 Steward the gospel — sharing the Good News we’ve been entrusted with.
💰 Steward our time, treasure, and talents — using what we’ve been given for God’s glory.

This sermon will challenge you to live with deeper gratitude, purpose, and accountability — because God has entrusted you with so much more than you think.

In this message, Brenden unpacks what it truly means to live as stewards — people entrusted by God with His creation, His gospel, and every good gift in our lives. From Psalm 24:1, we’re reminded that “the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” Nothing we have is really ours — we are caretakers of what belongs to Him.

This sermon challenges us to rethink ownership and responsibility:
🌍 How do we steward the globe — the world God has made?
📖 How do we steward the gospel — the message of salvation we’ve been entrusted to share?
💰 How do we use our time, treasure, and talents for God’s glory?

If you’ve ever wondered what faithful stewardship looks like in everyday life, this message will inspire you to live with greater purpose, gratitude, and accountability.

In Mark 12:41–44, Jesus watches a widow give two small coins—and says she has given more than anyone else. Why? Because true generosity isn’t about the amount, but the heart behind the gift.

This sermon, “God Wants Your Heart, Not Your Stuff,” reminds us that God values devotion over possessions and love over luxury. The challenge for us is clear: how can we live more generously with our time, resources, and lives?

📖 Scripture: Mark 12:41–44
✝️ Title: God Wants Your Heart, Not Your Stuff

What does it look like to welcome outsiders, invite the unlikely, and create space for people to encounter Jesus? In this sermon, we dive into Luke 14 and explore how radical hospitality is part of God’s mission in the world.

Why does Jesus eat with sinners? In Matthew 9:10–17, we see that hospitality is at the very heart of God. From Genesis to Revelation, God moves toward people with love, welcome, and invitation. This sermon explores how Jesus redefines holiness—not by exclusion, but by mercy and compassion—and how we can embody radical hospitality in our everyday lives.

What led to the exile of Israel in 2 Kings 17? In this message from our Kingdoms in Crisis series, we explore why God allowed His people to fall, the dangers of idolatry and injustice, and the warnings sent through prophets like Hosea, Amos, and Jonah. Most importantly, we see God’s heart of mercy, calling His people to return to Him. This sermon is a reminder that God’s judgment is real—but so is His unfailing love and invitation to repentance.

📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 17

In this sermon from our Kingdoms in Crisis series, Brendan explores one of the most dramatic and violent passages in Scripture: the downfall of Ahab’s family and the death of Jezebel (2 Kings 9–10).

Why does God’s judgment seem so brutal here? What do we do with stories of violence in the Bible? And how does this connect to the peace, love, and forgiveness revealed in Jesus Christ?

Through Jehu’s bloody rise to power, we uncover:

• The historical and cultural context of violence in the ancient Near East

• How God uses judgment to highlight the seriousness of sin

• The progressive revelation that points us from the Old Testament to Christ

• Why we must always read Scripture through the lens of Jesus, the Prince of Peace

This message challenges us to wrestle honestly with hard texts, while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus—the true revelation of God’s heart.

📖 Key Scripture: 2 Kings 9–10
✝️ Series: Kingdoms in Crisis

Fear. Shame. Loneliness. These three experiences shape so much of our human story. But in 2 Kings 6, God shows us how He meets us in each of them—with His protection, His grace, and His presence.

In this sermon, Keenan Farquhar walks us through the story of Elisha and the Aramean army, reminding us that through Jesus, we are invited to become truly human—free from fear, covered in grace, and welcomed to the table of God’s presence.

This past Sunday, Brenden Fox unpacked the powerful story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5—a man of status, influence, and power, yet helpless in the face of his deepest need. Through Naaman’s healing, we are reminded of the striking contrast between what we think we deserve and the undeserved grace that God freely gives.

It’s a story that challenges our pride, our entitlement, and our assumptions about God’s ways. Most importantly, it points us to the life-changing truth that God’s grace is never earned—it is received.

✨ Key Themes:

• Naaman’s pride vs. God’s humility

• The scandal of undeserved grace

• Why God’s healing is always bigger than just the physical

• Learning to receive rather than achieve

Listen in and be encouraged to lay down what you think you’ve earned, and embrace the grace you could never deserve.

📖 Scripture Reference: 2 Kings 5:1–19

This week, Mandy Pearson takes us into one of the most powerful moments in the Gospels—Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well. Together, we’ll reframe how Jesus truly sees us, and wrestle with the life-changing question: How does God see us, and how do we see others?

From shame to chosen, from theological confusion to confidence as an evangelist—this message will challenge your perspective and inspire you to live out your calling.
