He Came for Me
Luke 15:1-10 reveals God's relentless pursuit of the lost and His boundless joy in their return. You are invaluable to Him, no matter how far you’ve wandered.
Divine Disruption
Jesus disrupts our lives to foster growth and maturity in us. The world needs mature disciples. Embracing disruption, as seen in Mark 5:1-20, leads to freedom, wholeness, and transformation. Jesus can turn your bondage into a powerful testimony.
Running on Empty
This sermon highlights the necessity of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Without it, Christians and churches falter. Empowered by the Spirit, we become effective witnesses, understand the Gospel's true message, and build vibrant, thriving churches that extend beyond their walls.
Momma Knows Best… or Does She?

This sermon inspires us to trust in God's promises and empowers us to pass on a legacy of unwavering faith to the next generation.
