We are a church that exists to Honor God and Make Disciples. We hope our weekly preaching podcast encourage and inspire you.
This series will feature how God faithfully answered every fearful objection raised by the ten frightened spies and the people in Numbers 13 and 14 through the promises fulfilled and miracles displayed in the book of Joshua.
These events are not just psychological experiences; they are spiritual battles that affect how we live, lead, and follow God. As we journey through key moments in Joshua's life and leadership, we will see how God met him and the people of Israel and see how we too are Called to Courage through faith in times of these emotional and mental struggles.
In our world today, leaders are often depicted at the head of an organization, at the forefront of a race, or heading a ranking list. We would never imagine a leader at the tail-end of anywhere. However, Jesus modeled leadership the Kingdom way - as humility and service to others.
In this series, we will learn how this kind of leadership is an essential part of our own transformation into Christlikeness and learn how we can apply it in every area of our lives.

When we gather with other believers to worship God together, we step into a sacred space that has nothing to do with the building and everything to do with the presence of God in our midst. When we gather in worship and community, God shapes and transforms our lives until Christ is formed in us.

In this series, we look at how God shows Himself as always enough for what we need in every season. We will look at how He brings His people through mindset journeys of not enough, just enough, and more than enough, as we trust and follow Him with every decision.

In this series, we will look at how the resurrection of Jesus Christ displays His power over sin and death. Instead of struggling through every day, we can experience the same power and victory as we walk in faith, go through challenges, and preach the gospel until God's kingdom comes.

God has called every believer to a life of mission. For He so loved the world, He gave His Son to save mankind from the destruction of sin. His love not only transforms us but empowers us to preach the gospel that redeems lives and reconciles nations to Him.

Jesus is seated on the Great White Throne, ruling and reigning over all. He promises a day when He will come again, bringing the ultimate end to evil and death, restoring everything that's broken. This is our future hope —while we live with steadfast faith and commitment to making Him known today in the present.

sounds of the Day of Pentecost that mark the beginning of a new period in
history where the Lord chooses to dwell among His people; the mark of an

Church and Christ's mission to the ends of the earth.

Spiritual disciplines are personal observances done out of gratitude and dedication to God and are a means to receive the grace that comes from the cross of Jesus Christ. When practiced in faith and faithfulness, they conform us to the image of Christ. We stand in grace and not by our works, so as we began in grace, we want to continue to be transformed by grace.

Salvation is free, but discipleship is costly. Just as the first disciples left
everything to follow Jesus, we must consider the cost. This means counting
the cost of the cross. This surrender, though difficult and costly, also brings
the greatest reward: God himself.

Loving God is inseparable from loving others, and we can do both as we turn to the Scriptures and seek God, whose love is His fundamental nature. He created us in His image; therefore, we are called to demonstrate a love like His, reflecting His heart for mankind.

Jesus is not just our Savior but also the Lord of our lives. Allowing Him to be Lord means He has the final say over every area of our lives. "JESUS." is not just a statement, but a testament to how God has called us to live our lives.

The striking of the Shepherd, the scattering of the sheep, and Peter’s denial were foretold. But so is the resurrection of Christ, the restoration of the disciples, and the taking care of the sheep. Peter was restored and reinstated to taking care of God’s flock. The risen Christ assures us of our full restoration as a people set apart for God.

Peter’s bold confession, weak intercession, and empty words. Jesus knows our deepest intentions, human limitations, and empty confessions, yet lovingly warns, guides, and restores us. Jesus Christ was set apart as a substitutionary sacrifice for our redemption.

Esther stepped out in faith to talk to the king to save the Jews from Haman’s plot. To talk to the king and go to inner courts without being called is a risk of being put to death. She faced the possibility of death to save the lives of many. It takes crazy faith to do what is right when doing the right thing might lead to death.

Elijah was on the brink of giving up and fighting for the Lord; venting his despair because of Israel’s rebelliousness against the Lord. But the moment that the Lord spoke, He obeyed without question. It takes crazy faith to obey the Lord when it seems like you are the only one obeying the Lord.

Jonathan and his armor-bearer saw victory through the lens of faith to defeat the Philistines despite the seemingly impossible battle to win. Their confession of confidence and faith in Yahweh’s power to bring victory against all odds demonstrates an unstoppable faith.

One of the grand mysteries of the birth of the Christ can be summarized in the idea of “incarnation” that God who created all things, rules all things, has chosen to “enflesh” Himself. This miracle that God became man through Jesus highlights His glory and grace.

The coming of the Christ has been promised from the first few pages. Matthew’s narrative brings to the fore the angel of the Lord in a dream and the message of the coming of the Christ, Jesus. This out-of-the-ordinary way of receiving the message highlights the divine fulfillment of the long-promised Christ. Luke, seemingly in line with his predilection to highlight women, highlights the angelic visitation to Mary and the favor of God that ultimately points to the grace of God to the world through the Christ.

Acts 2 starts and ends with the disciples coming together. We can highlight God’s design and call for the church to "embodied gathering." When the believers gathered together, they witnessed miracles.

We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church, the body of Christ of which Jesus is the head. As God’s holy people on mission, the visible Church is expressed in gathered communities where believers assemble to pray, worship, hear God’s Word, receive the sacraments, and fellowship with one another. Through the ministry of His Spirit, faithful disciples, and biblically qualified leaders, Christ builds and grows His church.

We believe in God the Holy Spirit, giver and renewer of life, sent to guarantee our promised future. The Spirit convicts concerning sin, enlightens to the truth, awakens to repentance and faith, regenerates sinners, and unites believers to Christ, making them partakers of the divine nature. By the Spirit’s indwelling, Christians enjoy God’s presence and fellowship. By being filled with the Holy Spirit, Christians are divinely empowered for witness and ministry. As they bear the fruit of the Spirit and exercise spiritual gifts, believers edify the Church and bear witness to God’s kingdom.

We believe the gospel is the good news that God became man in Jesus Christ to reconcile lost people to Himself. He lived a perfect, sinless life on our behalf and died on the cross for our sins. He was buried, and on the third day rose from the dead, securing our redemption forever. Having triumphed over Satan and the forces of darkness, He ascended into heaven as Lord of all. Every one who repents and believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

We believe in Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, incarnated for our redemption, born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man, one person in two natures. As our substitute, He lived a sinless life and willingly gave Himself as a propitiatory and reconciling sacrifice for our sins on the cross. He died, was buried, rose bodily on the third day, ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father as the only mediator between God and humanity. One day He will return again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe God created all things, visible and invisible, out of nothing, and all very good. He sovereignly sustains and governs creation for His glory and the benefit of His creatures. God created humans in His image, male and female, to know, love, and glorify Him in a covenant relationship and to serve as stewards of the earth. The first man, Adam, sinned against God, resulting in alienation, death, guilt, shame, and a curse upon the earth. Separated from God and subject to His judgment, all humans have inherited a sinful nature from which they cannot save themselves.

We believe in one God, creator and sustainer of all things. He is perfect and unchanging; completely loving, good, and holy; limitless in knowledge, power, and presence. God eternally exists in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; one in essence, having the same divine attributes and perfections, with each person fulfilling distinct roles. Gracious in His eternal purpose to redeem a people for Himself, God is worthy of wholehearted love and worship.

The Lord demonstrated His power over Egypt’s animal-headed gods – Kephri & Hathor, their god of healing – Isis, and the nature gods of Egypt – Nut, Seth, & Ra. In these plagues, God delineated His people in Goshen from the rest of Egypt showing His grace upon His people, mercy upon those who heeded His warnings, and judgment upon the hard-hearted.

In this sermon, we can explore how God demonstrated power over the gods of the Nile River (Hapi, Heket & Geb) — representing life and fertility in Egypt over the human powers who tried to replicate the miracles but were eventually unable to keep up with God.

Jesus delivered a demon-oppressed man who had been oppressed for a long time (v.27). After his deliverance, he went back to his town, restored back to his hometown, and became a herald of the Gospel. Oppression comes in many ways. It may be religious, social, economic, or political. Jesus dominated and defeated them the work of the demon; proclaiming that He is the Lord of all creation, whether the physical world or the spiritual world. Jesus can miraculously deliver us from our oppressors, restore us back to our identity, and introduce new ways of living for Him. Our identity belongs to Him.

Jesus calming the storm exposes the human heart’s disposition to fear and be anxious in events that are beyond our control. Storms in the sea are normal events in a fisherman’s life. However, they were caught in a tempest one that they couldn’t handle. Jesus calmed the storm and brought peace to their hearts. This miracle highlighted Jesus’ lordship over the wind. This miracle showed Jesus’ lordship over matters that are beyond our control. The storm was just an event to demonstrate that truth. Fear and anxiety are realities that people face today. Jesus’ ability to deliver us from these uncontrollable events leads us to have peace in our hearts and confidence in Him as the Lord of our lives because He Himself is our peace.

In some of Jesus’ miracles, He does it to show His divinity and purpose of being the Messiah. In this account, Luke was intentional in highlighting that compassion to bring comfort was Jesus’ prime motivation for the miracle. Jesus expressed His compassion and desire to comfort the widow by raising the son from the dead. This miracle shows the extent that Jesus goes to show His compassion for us. He supernaturally restored the dead son back to his life. He restored the joy of the widow and the community. The community feared God and glorified God as a result of this miracle. God has visited His people in order to bring about the fulfillment of the promises He has made to them. In Jesus, the town of Nain, he has inaugurated the kingdom of God.

This miracle points to Jesus’ heart and compassion for those who are afflicted. More than the physical healing that Jesus provided for the leper, He touched him and responded to him with compassion. Many times in Scripture we see that God responding to physical healing leads to spiritual healing (Matthew 9:1-8; Mark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17). In this case, Jesus even restored the leper, relationally. He restored the leper’s social status by healing him and commanding him to declare himself healed among the priests as a custom for healed lepers. We sense Jesus’ heart to heal and restore us holistically.

Jesus demonstrates His omniscience and lordship over the sea; defying the natural laws of the sea and instantaneously providing a large number of fish for their catch. This miracle did not only provide for the personal needs of the fishermen but also opened an opportunity to be Jesus' first disciples; to serve Him for the rest of their lives. We should believe in Jesus' ability to miraculously provide for us today. His provision comes with a greater purpose of drawing us closer to Him and enabling us together to serve Him fully; catch men and draw people closer to Him.

Jesus sets the beginning phase of His ministry by performing miracles to heal many. The healing of Peter's mother-in-law brought the community's attention to Jesus as the miracle worker; one who heals and delivers people from demonic oppression. The community's identification of Jesus as a miracle worker applies for us today. He is God and He is faithful to let us experience His supernatural power in our time of need. We can believe God for miracles for our personal situations and trust the Holy Spirit to do wonders as we minister to others. It is worthy to note that Luke was a doctor and as one that is empirically driven by data and facts, he penned supernatural events that took place concerning Jesus' miracles.

John’s writing shares a high view of Christology. He beautifully describes the signs and wonders that Jesus performed in his Gospel. He mentions that they were meant to bring people to a faith in Him; to see Him as the Son of God, the long-awaited Messiah.
John exhorts us that this understanding of Jesus and His work should bring us to a kind of life that is found in Him.
Finding our lives in His name is not limited to our eternal dwelling, but His desire is for us to live joyful and abundant lives found in him (John 10:10). The celebration of Christmas should remind us with the truth that fullness of life is found when our lives revolve around the person and work of Jesus.
Christmas is not a mere celebration of the coming of Christ but also speaks about the prophesied Divine King who rules our world and will usher in a fully established new Kingdom when He returns. He is worthy of worship in our lives today and forevermore.

Christmas is the celebration of Jesus coming to the world to bring salvation to the world. The term Lamb of God represents Jesus as the ultimate and perfect sacrifice to redeem us from death, sin and the dominion of evil in our lives. The sacrificial system in the Old Testament is perfected in Christ, as the perfect Lamb of God. He is the only way for salvation to be obtained.
The Lamb of God is endowed with God’s Spirit and lived a perfect life and perfect death to atone for the sins of the world and will return not as a sacrifice but as a Righteous Judge and King that will be worshipped (Rev. 5:1-14).

God revealed Himself in the person of Jesus. In the Old Testament, God showed Himself in the flesh in various Christophanies. Experiencing God in the flesh was a rare experience in the Old Testament. It was something to be feared and may even entail a person dying by being in the presence of God.
Christmas reminds us that Jesus, who is uncreated, second person of the Trinity, and fully God, stepped in our world to be with us and be like us.. He pitched His tent with us or “tabernacled” with us so we may be redeemed and called children of God.

Picking up from the Abrahamic mandate to be a blessing to all the families of the earth, we now segue into a Gentile and his family that encountered God through Peter. Cornelius is a family man, a Roman army officer, well respected by the Jews, and a man who made an impact among his family, relatives, close friends, and in the city through his faith, example, and influence. He responded to God. His conversion was a major stepping stone in advancing God’s kingdom in the empire’s capital and later to the Gentile world.

What does it look like to serve God while being caught in the middle of major political upheavals of your time? This chapter is so much more than the lions’ den. With the fall of the Babylonian empire, the political landscape around Daniel changed again. This time, the Medo-Persians ruled and Daniel was appointed as one of the top three officials next to the king. Again and again we see how the fear of the Lord makes a lot of difference in the halls of world powers. The fact that Daniel served under four kings (Daniel 6:28) in two major empires should not be lost to us: faithfulness to Yahweh accomplishes great things in the world. Most importantly, Daniel’s work under Cyrus paved the way for the return of the exiles to the Promised Land (cf. Daniel 6:28; Ezra 5:13; Isaiah 44:28; Isaiah 45:1).

How do you handle obscurity? King Nebuchadnezzar's reign is over; his son Belshazzar replaced him. Daniel's days of fame in the Babylonian palace are also over (Daniel 5:10–12). When the young king and his lords were feasting, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote on the wall. None of the sages in the kingdom could interpret the writing so Daniel was called in. The writing says that the days of the kingdom are numbered, that king Belshazzar didn’t measure up; and the invading Persians are coming. Even when he was no longer in active public service, Daniel was ready to answer the call and serve when he was needed the most.
How do you speak God’s truth to people who are in power? King Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream was about his own humiliation—he was the great tree that will be chopped down to its stump. But instead of rubbing it in, Daniel was personally dismayed and alarmed at the meaning of the dream (Daniel 4:19). He exhorted the king to repent and show mercy to the oppressed that there may perhaps be a lengthening of his prosperity (Daniel 4:27). In a way, Daniel rebuked the king with tears in his eyes.
When is it right for the people of God to not obey civil authority? “When sin is decreed” is the short answer from the book of Daniel. The story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace is not just a story of deliverance but a story of three young men who took a stand and obeyed God even if all the odds were not in their favor.

In times of grave threats, will you speak up even if it’s unpopular? Nebuchadnezzar had a troubling dream and he threatened to kill all the magicians, enchanters, and sorcerers of the kingdom if they could not tell him and explain to him the meaning of his dream. To stop the unjust killing of the wise men of Babylon, Daniel volunteered to interpret the dream even if he didn’t know its meaning yet. At home, he enlisted the help of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah to beg God for revelation in order that they might not be destroyed.

What do you do when your life is turned upside down because of the choices of other people? After a succession of Judean kings who did evil in the sight of the Lord, God sent the people of Judah into exile as punishment for its continued covenant unfaithfulness (2 Chronicles 36). But not everyone who got carried off did evil in the sight of the Lord. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were faithful young men who had to grapple with the question of honoring God in a culture that doesn't acknowledge Him, while personally dealing with the loss of their loved ones and their homeland.
What do you do when your life is turned upside down because of the choices of other people? After a succession of Judean kings who did evil in the sight of the Lord, God sent the people of Judah into exile as punishment for its continued covenant unfaithfulness (2 Chronicles 36). But not everyone who got carried off did evil in the sight of the Lord. Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were faithful young men who had to grapple with the question of honoring God in a culture that doesn't acknowledge Him, while personally dealing with the loss of their loved ones and their homeland.
The gospel is of first importance because Christ died and came back to life. He appeared to many witnesses, proving that indeed He is the Son of God and validating our faith in Him. Because of His resurrection, we have hope, we will live with Him, and we proclaim Him.

The gospel is of first importance because Christ suffered and died as the ultimate sacrifice to save humanity from sin. He was afflicted, pierced, and crushed for our transgressions. Scriptures attest that His death was critical and instrumental in bringing us to God.

The Lord promises to shake and dethrone nations and kingdoms and the strength of their armies in order to exalt His servant leaders as His chosen representatives of His kingdom. Let us spur on God‘s people to believe that He will use the shaking of our nation to make the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and Christ.
The people of God have been defiled by their neglect of God’s temple while being busy with building their own houses, resulting in disappointing crops and harvests, but the re-laying of the temple’s foundation will restore his blessing upon his people. Let us then revive our hope in the restoration of the fortunes of God’s people as we prioritize the building of God’s house.
The rebuilding of God’s house is accomplished by God strengthening His people by His Spirit. Let God renew our strength in the task of rebuilding His house by revealing His plan to shake the nations so that the treasures held by these nations will be loosened for the glory of His name.

The Lord withholds His blessing when we prioritize the building of our own houses while neglecting the rebuilding of God’s house. Let our efforts and energy be redirected to God’s kingdom purpose, and trust that He will bless not only the works of our hands towards His house, but towards our nation and our own house as well.
Salvation comes only through Jesus, the cornerstone who was crucified and raised from the dead. He gives hope and restoration to all men.
Jesus is the Son of God who was prophesied as the precious cornerstone, the Messiah who was rejected by Israel but chosen by God to bring salvation to the world.
Jesus came from the Father and gave his disciples the Father's words. Those who receive his words will be kept from the evil one and be sanctified in the truth of God's word as they are sent into the world on God's mission.
Jesus is the true vine who imparts life to his people. As we abide in him, we will be aligned to his will resulting in prayers that trust his ways and a life of obedience. As we obey his words, we will find full joy in abiding in his love.
Jesus is from the Father and speaks his words, and always pleases him. Those who abide in Jesus' words are truly his disciples. They will know the truth, and the truth will set them free from their sins.
Jesus is the true bread of heaven. Whoever feeds on him by feeding on his words will live, for his words are Spirit and life and are the words of eternal life.
Jesus has life in himself, and everyone who hears his word and believes the Father receives eternal life. They have passed from death to life and will not face damnation. Though they may die, they will again hear his voice and be raised from the dead to everlasting life.
Jesus is the Word of God who created all things and imparts life and light to everyone who receives him. He grants them the right to become God's children and reveals the Father to them in grace and truth.

God is a multigenerational God. We see this in Scripture where generations of families work together, pursue the glory of God together, and carry the mission of God together.
We are all called to be children of God. There is no better generation, but we all received God’s grace and strength to be renewed each day and to preach the gospel wherever we may be, to whomever is around us.
It takes all generations—previous generations, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, and future generations—working together to pursue the mission of God to see campuses, communities, and nations transformed by the gospel. Young people can find and receive strength from God, and the whole church community will be there to support, encourage, and help them fulfill their God-given mission.
