A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” Yesterday’s sermon explored the majestic and prophetic depth of Psalm 110, revealing Christ as our victorious King, eternal Priest, and coming Judge. We saw how Jesus’ finished work on the cross affirms His right to rule — not only at the right hand of God but also in our hearts. His present reign is marked by unshakable peace and priestly intercession, calling us to live in grateful worship and steadfast faith. Finally, the psalm points us to His coming kingdom, where Christ will return in power to judge evil, establish eternal justice, and claim the worship He alone deserves.

A message from the series “Jesus in the Psalms.” This message highlighted our need to choose the right Shepherd. David’s failures showed that no one—not family, strength, or good intentions—can lead us like Jesus can. Psalm 23 reminds us that Jesus is the Shepherd of our soul, our circumstances, and our salvation. He brings true rest, walks with us through every valley, and secures our eternal hope.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” This week, we focused on Ephesians 6 and the truth that the Armor of God is found in Jesus. As we face life’s daily battles, we’re called to abide in Him and live with a mindset of spiritual readiness, not comfort.

We learned the importance of being strengthened by God, resisting the enemy, and staying aware of his schemes. Daily, we are invited to put on Christ—embracing truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God.
Above all, we were reminded to pray continually, staying connected to the One who equips us for victory.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” In this message, we reflected on Jesus’ powerful parable of the unforgiving servant and were reminded that we owed far more than we realized, had received more than we deserved, and were called to extend the same mercy we had been shown. We saw that true forgiveness wasn’t about what others deserved—but about what God had already done for us through Christ. Holding onto bitterness only kept us imprisoned, but forgiving from the heart set us free and allowed us to reflect the heart of God.

A message from the series “Better Relationships.” This week’s message focused on the spiritual value of honor, particularly in our relationship with our parents. Drawing from Deuteronomy, we explored ten ways to honor our parents—by protecting our relationship with them from the effects of sin and nurturing their relationship with God. We were reminded that true honor involves grace, humility, justice, and spiritual support. The sermon also confronted the spiritual reality of neglect, cautioning us not to withhold care from loved ones under the guise of religious intentions. Finally, we celebrated the gift of spiritual family, which extends beyond biology. Jesus invites us into a lasting, borderless family of faith—and calls us to help others, including our parents, find that family too.

A message from the series “Deep & Wide.” This week’s sermon focused on the contrast between idols that cannot save and the true salvation found in Jesus, especially as we reflect on Palm Sunday.
Reject False Hope – We are reminded by God’s grace not to trust in idols or temporary things. Instead, we’re called to enjoy good things—like cultural customs—in ways that draw us closer to Him. Choosing to follow God early in life is a wise foundation.
Rescued Because Jesus Was Rejected – Paul’s experiences in Acts 22 mirror and contrast Jesus’ Passion Week:

Paul was saved from the mob and flogging; Jesus was handed over and beaten so we might gain heavenly citizenship.
Paul’s Roman citizenship protected him; Jesus gave up His rights for our salvation.
Ultimately, Paul was rescued—but Jesus wasn’t, so that we, the spiritually rejected, could be rescued through His sacrifice.

A message from the series “Deep & Wide.” This week in our “Deep and Wide” series, Pastor Christian talks through spiritual pathways and how it shapes our outreach and growth as believers.

Spiritual Pathway for Outreach:
We begin by understanding our spiritual common ground, recognizing that our life experiences before knowing God shape our outreach potential. Through humility and sharing our personal journey, we connect with others who are also seeking God.

Spiritual Pathway to Growth:
Like Paul, we experience spiritual transformation at the crossroads of our lives. Paul’s conversion illustrates three key steps in the faith journey: Light breaking through darkness, God speaking into our lives, and meeting Jesus personally. Growth involves knowing God’s heart, building a relationship with Jesus, and becoming a witness to the world.

This lesson reminds us that our faith is not about tasks but about becoming who God has called us to be, starting with baptism and a deep dependence on Jesus.
