Where do you run when you have nowhere else to go? When the enemy is at the gates and you're out of options?
Vincent Rey takes us into one of the most desperate moments in Israel's history—King Hezekiah facing the Assyrian army outside Jerusalem's walls. But here's the key: Hezekiah didn't discover prayer in his panic. He ran to the house of the Lord because that's where he'd been going all along. You probably won't do something new in desperation that you've never done before.
This message challenges a hard truth: wherever you usually go is where you'll probably go when trials hit. Not "if" trials come—trials ARE coming. The question is, are you building the muscle now? You can't ride the coattails of your parents' faith. At some point, you need ten toes down for yourself.
Are you tired, overwhelmed, or wondering if you can keep holding on to your faith? King Hezekiah's story reminds us what's possible when we refuse to let go of God.
In 2 Kings 18, we meet Hezekiah—a king who "clung to the Lord" and didn't depart from following Him. Unlike other kings who did right "but" left compromises in place, Hezekiah went all in. He removed the high places, tore down idols, and even destroyed the bronze serpent Moses made because people had turned it into an idol. His life shows us that it's possible not just to start strong with God, but to stay strong and finish strong.
Ever wonder how someone doing everything right can still lose their way? King Uzziah started strong—16 years old, reigning 52 years, blessed by God with military victories and prosperity. But somewhere along the way, pride crept in.
This sermon from our "Crowned But Compromised" series walks through the sobering story of King Uzziah (also called Azariah), a leader who did right in God's eyes but fell into the trap of thinking he'd become so strong he didn't need God's help anymore. His name literally means "Yahweh is my strength"—yet he forgot that truth. The result? Leprosy, isolation, and a cautionary tale for all of us.
When everything you've relied on shifts—when the voices that guided you are gone—who will you become?
Kylie unpacks the story of King Joash, a boy hidden in God's temple who grew up to be king. Raised by a faithful priest, Joash restored the temple and honored God—but only while his mentor was alive. When that voice disappeared, Joash listened to different counsel and compromised everything. His story asks us the uncomfortable question: Is your faith your own, or are you riding someone else's spiritual coattails?
This message wrestles with what happens when life gets hard, when transitions shake us, when the familiar falls away. Joash had the blood of both David and Ahab flowing through his veins—righteousness and wickedness at war within him. But here's the truth that changes everything: the blood of Jesus supersedes every bloodline, every past mistake, every generational curse. You are chosen, royal, holy—created with divine purpose. The question is: will you live like it?
Are you keeping the peace in areas where God is calling you to stand out?
King Jehoshaphat loved God and did what was right—but he made one compromise that changed everything. He made peace with King Ahab, one of the most wicked kings in Israel's history. This alliance almost cost him his life and opened the door for rebellion in the next generation.
This message challenges us to examine where we might be blending in when God has called us to be different. It's not about being judgmental or isolating ourselves—it's about having the courage to stop compromising with things that are at war with God. Sometimes the pressure to fit in, maintain influence, or avoid conflict can lead us to make peace with relationships, habits, or practices that slowly pull us away from God.
Ever feel like you're serving God with your whole heart, but something still holds you back from complete freedom in worship?
King Asa was one of the great kings of Judah—he tore down idols, removed cult prostitutes, and even fired his own grandmother for making false gods. The Bible says "his heart was wholly devoted to the Lord all his days." But there's this one haunting line: "the high places were not taken away." These weren't just random worship sites—they represented convenience, compromise, and contamination in how God's people approached Him. Asa wanted to worship God fully, but some things were just out of his reach to destroy.
What if generosity isn't just about having resources—but about recognizing what you do have to give?
Maybe you think you don't have enough to be generous. Wrong schedule, wrong bank account, wrong season of life. But generosity isn't measured by what you lack—it's activated by trusting God with what you have. Your time, your attention, your faith, your presence—these matter more than you realize. The gap between those who need help and those who give help is thinner than we think. In fact, all of us have been the lame beggar in some way, needing someone to do for us what we couldn't do for ourselves. This message isn't just about being nice people. It's about becoming a community so marked by God's generosity that when we engage our city, transformation happens. Because the gospel itself is the ultimate act of generosity—God giving His Son for people who couldn't save themselves.
What does it take to live with uncompromising faith when everything is on the line? How do we become people who refuse to compromise even when our lives depend on it?
This week Pastor Van explores the transformation of Peter from someone who denied Jesus to a man who boldly stood before the Sanhedrin declaring "we must obey God rather than human beings." Using the gripping story from the movie Lone Survivor, we discover what it means to hold fast to our convictions when the stakes are highest.
Are you living like Jesus could return today, or have you settled into thinking it might never happen?
In this message from Revelation 22, we explore what it means that Jesus promises three times "I am coming quickly." This isn't just theological doctrine—it's meant to shape how we live right now. Whether the thought of Jesus' return brings you comfort, concern, or skepticism, Scripture calls us to live with urgent anticipation.
The early church needed this reminder when facing compromise and persecution. We need it today when we're tempted to give up hope or get too comfortable with the status quo. Jesus isn't coming back as a baby in a manger. He's returning as the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, bringing both reward and judgment.
Ever feel like you're stuck at the "airport" of your Christian faith instead of exploring the full city? This Sunday we dive into what it means to grow beyond just getting saved to actually becoming more like Jesus.
In this message on sanctification from 1 Thessalonians 4-5, we explore how God is so committed to making us holy that He uses everything around us - the people in our lives, our circumstances, and His Spirit within us - to shape us into Christ's image. If you've ever felt frustrated with your spiritual progress or wondered why growth feels so slow, this message offers real hope and practical insight.
We'll discover that sanctification isn't about perfectionism or pleasing people - it's about cooperating with God's work in our lives rather than resisting it. Whether you're a new believer trying to figure out this faith thing or you've been walking with Jesus for years, there's encouragement here for wherever you are in the journey.
What if the best picture of a healthy marriage isn't found in relationship books, but in understanding how Christ loves His church?
In this message from our "What We Believe" series, we dive into the doctrine of the church through the surprising lens of marriage. Using Ephesians 5:22-30, we discover that marriage isn't just about two people—it's meant to reflect the beautiful relationship between Christ and His church. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere in between, this message reveals God's heart for His people and His dream for the church.
Ever wonder why God uses ordinary things like bread, juice, and water to do something extraordinary?
In this message, we dive deep into the doctrine of sacraments—specifically baptism and communion. These aren't just religious rituals we go through; they're means of grace that God has given the church to strengthen our faith and draw us closer to Him and each other. Whether you grew up in a tradition with different teachings about sacraments or you're exploring faith for the first time, this message will give you biblical clarity on what we believe and why it matters for your spiritual journey.
In this powerful message, we explore how mission is not just something the Church does — it’s who we are. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible tells one unified story: God’s mission to redeem and restore the world. This sermon breaks down that story into six key scenes — Creation, The Fall, Israel, Jesus, The Church, and New Creation — showing how every believer is called to be part of God’s redemptive work.
Ever wonder what salvation really means beyond just "going to heaven"? This message breaks down the heart of the gospel into five simple words that will transform how you see God's grace.
In this sermon from our "We Believe" series, we explore Paul's testimony in 1 Timothy 1 and discover that salvation isn't just fire insurance—it's a complete transformation from the inside out. Whether you're struggling with shame, feeling like you've gone too far, or wondering if God's grace is really enough for your situation, this message offers hope and clarity.
Which Jesus were you first introduced to? In our culture today, there are countless versions of Jesus being presented - the political Jesus, the passive Jesus, the taskmaster Jesus. But who is the real Jesus revealed in Scripture?
In this message from our "We Believe" series, Pastor Brian takes us deep into Hebrews 4:14-16 to discover the truth about Jesus Christ. We explore how Jesus is both fully God and fully man - our great High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses yet remains without sin. This isn't just theology for the classroom; it's an anchor for your soul when life's storms hit.
When you truly understand who Jesus is, it changes everything about how you approach Him. He's not distant or disconnected from your struggles. He gets you. He's been tempted like you are. He knows what betrayal feels like, what pain feels like, what pressure feels like. Yet He conquered sin and death so you can confidently approach His throne of grace.
Ever feel like you need to prove your worth through performance? Paul says he's not ashamed of the gospel - but why would he even need to say that?
In this powerful message from Romans 1:16-17, Pastor Vincent breaks down why the gospel is God's power for salvation and why we don't need to earn our way to God. He explores how Jesus lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died, making salvation a gift rather than something we achieve through performance.
This isn't just theology - it's life-changing truth that addresses our deepest need for acceptance and worth. When we understand that salvation comes through faith, not works, it transforms how we see ourselves and others. No more private wins or comparing ourselves - just the joy of knowing we're loved because of what Christ did.
Ever wonder why a century-old hymn like "How Great Thou Art" still moves us to tears? The answer lies in how we understand Genesis 1-3.
In this message from our Bible study series, we explore the foundational truths of creation and the fall that shape everything about our faith. When we truly grasp that God made all things good, governs everything, and created us in His image, it transforms how we see both His creation and our circumstances.
What if the Bible isn't just an ancient book, but God literally breathing life into your daily decisions? In Week 2 of our "We Believe" series, Pastor Steve Robinson unpacked 2 Timothy 3:16-17 on this Father's Day, showing why Scripture is both "God-breathed" and intensely personal.
In this Pentecost Sunday message, Pastor Brian challenges us to "Take the Next Step" using Acts 2. Fresh off VBS week where kids learned about taking small steps of faith, he reminds us that adults need the same Holy Spirit courage.
He addresses two key questions: "What does this mean?" and "What shall we do?" Whether you need to surrender to Christ, stop playing games with God, or be freshly filled with His power—this message challenges you to take that next bold step of faith.
