As we stand at the threshold between years, Psalm 126 offers us a powerful framework for moving forward with both gratitude and expectation. This ancient song of ascent captures three profound movements of faith: celebrating what God has already done, praying for what remains unfinished, and trusting in the promise of future harvest. 

Text: Psalm 126

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, this message invites us into a contemplative space where we examine not just what we're doing, but who we're becoming. It explores the difference between shallow faith and deep-rooted discipleship, and examines how storms don't destroy houses—they reveal foundations.

Drawing from Matthew 7:24-27, we encounter Jesus's powerful parable of two builders—both heard the word, both built houses, both faced storms. The message challenges us to move from being consumers of church to contributors in ministry, recognizing that true spiritual maturity is defined not by attendance or activity, but by service and transformation. God is calling us to grow deeper, not just larger, as we enter 2026 with a vision to be "Rooted to Last, Called to Serve."

Text: Matthew 7:24-27

What if the greatest answer to humanity's deepest longing wasn't found in our searching for God, but in God's relentless pursuit of us? This powerful exploration of John 1:14-18 shatters our comfortable distance from the divine by revealing that Christianity doesn't begin with advice on how to find God—it begins with the stunning announcement that God came looking for us.

Text: John 1:14-18

In the midst of chaos and uncertainty, we find ourselves longing for something better—a hope that transcends our current circumstances. Isaiah 9:6 delivers a powerful prophecy that speaks directly to our weary hearts: a child will be born, a son will be given, and the government will rest on his shoulders. This message wasn't just for ancient Israel facing Assyrian oppression; it's for us today as we navigate political turmoil, economic stress, and personal struggles.

Text: Isaiah 9:6

This powerful sermon addresses the spiritual struggle of waiting on God when prayers seem unanswered and hope feels delayed. Drawing from Isaiah 40:1-5, the message explores how God speaks comfort into our waiting seasons, prepares pathways through our wilderness experiences, and guarantees future glory. This message emphasizes that delayed hope is not God's rejection, but rather a season of divine preparation where God works on transforming our hearts while we wait for circumstances to change.

Text: Isaiah 40:1-5

This powerful sermon explores the prophet Habakkuk's declaration of faith in the midst of complete loss and devastation. The message challenges believers to move beyond conditional thanksgiving—praising God only when circumstances are favorable—to embrace a supernatural joy rooted in God's character rather than life's conditions.

Text: Habakkuk 3

Romans 12:1 presents us with a profound paradox that challenges our understanding of sacrifice: 'Present your bodies as a living sacrifice.' This message confronts our modern tendency to want Christianity in convenient doses—friendship without sacrifice, benefits without responsibility, the altar without the fire. We're invited to examine what truly motivates our commitment to God.

This message takes us into the heart of Joshua chapter one, where we encounter a pivotal moment in Israel's history—the death of Moses and the transition of leadership to Joshua. But this isn't just ancient history; it's a profound lesson about letting go of what's dead in our lives so we can embrace God's new direction. The central truth here challenges us deeply: we cannot move forward into God's promises while clinging to the past. 

Text: Joshua 1:1-7

Fall Revival | November 1, 2025 | Pastor Amanda Hawley

The parable of the fig tree in Luke 13:6-9 reveals a profound truth about our spiritual existence: we are not here by accident. Just as the master planted a fig tree with deliberate intention in his vineyard—sacrificing space, resources, and convenience—God has planted each of us with divine purpose.

Fall Revival | November 1, 2025 | Pastor Dwayne Duncombe

This powerful message confronts us with a startling possibility: we can be faithful, doctrinally sound, and committed to God's mission—yet still be separated from Jesus. Through the story of Mary and Joseph losing the 12-year-old Jesus in Jerusalem, we discover a sobering truth about spiritual complacency.

Fall Revival | October 31, 2025 | Reverend Dr. Essentino Lewis

What if everything we thought we knew about earning God's favor was completely backwards? This powerful message dismantles the myth of spiritual meritocracy and invites us into the scandalous reality of grace. Drawing from Colossians 2:11-15, we're confronted with a truth that challenges our deepest instincts: salvation isn't a wage for the worthy, but a gift for the willing.

Text: Colossians 2:11-15

The Good Shepherd knows you, He cares for you, and He leads you.

While earthly leaders say "let them eat cake," our Savior says "I am the bread of life." The difference between disconnected power and connected love is found in one person—Jesus, the Good Shepherd.

International Day | October 4, 2025

1. Love God with everything you’ve got.
2. Love your neighbor like you love yourself.
3. The law hinges on love.

What love looks like in real life:
• You forgive when you’d rather fight.
• You bless those who can’t pay you back.
• You worship when life hurts.
• You show up when no one else will.
