In this world, you’ll have struggles. You’ll face opposition. You’ll be challenged. And there’s a reason for that: this world is not your home. So answer hate with love, find joy in the midst of trials, and rely on a strength beyond yourself. You’re meant to be … Different.

This is week 1 from our new sermon series, Different

“Remember His Words”, comes from our Easter Sunday celebration—a powerful reminder of the hope we have in Jesus Christ.

We began by reading Luke 24:1–11, where the women discover the empty tomb and hear those life-changing words: “He is not here; He has risen!” The core of the message? Jesus is alive, just as He said He would be.💡 Big Idea: We are forgetful people... but Easter calls us to remember.

But today, we’re called back to Jesus' words, His mission, and His identity. His Disciples Forgot Too Even those closest to Jesus forgot or misunderstood His mission. Over three separate times in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus clearly predicted His death and resurrection. But each time, the disciples drifted back into their own concerns—arguing about greatness, misunderstanding his purpose, or just plain not asking questions.

We shared three vital questions that every person must reckon with:

1. What do you think is the purpose of your life?

2. What do you believe happens when you die?

3. What do you believe about Jesus Christ?

These aren’t just religious questions—they’re eternity-defining ones.✝️

Jesus IS Who He Says He IsJesus didn’t just predict His death and resurrection—He fulfilled those promises. Every claim Jesus made about Himself—Son of God, Good Shepherd, the Way, the Truth, the Life—came true.

Jesus said in John 3:16–21 that belief is what saves us—but it also changes us. Real belief moves us into the light for all to see. It transforms not just our eternity, but our everyday So we ask again—what do you believe about Jesus?

Key Takeaway:

The resurrection is more than a story; it's a call to remember Jesus’ words, to believe in Him, and let that belief change our lives forever.🙏 Salvation Call:

“Don’t just celebrate Easter—live in the power of the resurrection. Believe. Be changed. Remember His Words.”

In this message we look at Jesus triumphal entry on Palm Sunday in Luke's gospel. What does Jesus life mean for us?

How will we live in light of Jesus triumphal entry? Will we listen and trust him in Jesus? Will we critique him and how others worship him? Will we be just on-lookers but not participators?

Three different perspectives

1. The Disciples

2. The Pharisees

3. The Crowd

In this message, we talked about how as a church we need to "Run The Play" in sharing the gospel with the world around us.

"God gives us the gospel, the power of the Spirit, and diving appointments - our role is to obey and run the play."

Our Examples

1. Stephen speaking boldly

2. Peter breaking down barriers

3. Philip following a whisper

4. Paul and Silas praising in suffering

All of these Jesus followers chose to run the play of the gospel and follow the Lord's call. Because of their bold choice, the gospel spread, people where saved and the world was never the same.

It's our turn. Run the play.

As we continue our sermon series, Peace of Mind we looked at the topic of burnout and how sometimes the most spiritual thing that you can do is REST.

Be faithful with what you have and use the gifts that God has given you for his glory!

How do we get to burnout?

1. We run ourselves into the ground

2. We try to do it all on our own

3. We dwell on the negative

Look to Jesus and he will bring you into his rest!

This is part three of our sermon series, Peace of Mind. We are tackling some difficult topics regarding mental health.

This week, we discussed our mindset when battling depression. We are making a commitment not to make permanent decisions based on temporary emotions. Even in the midst of our pain, we can have hope in God.

This is part two of our sermon series, Peace of mind. We are taking time to tackle hard topics that interrupt our peace. In this message, we will look at King Jehoshaphat and how he dealt with an fearful and anxious situation. He gives us some leadership on how we can deal with the anxiety of our day.

Title: Divine Reliance

1. It's time to pray

2. It's time to pause

3. It's time to praise

4. It's time to rest

This was Part One of our sermon series, Peace of Mind. We began by discussing the myths of mental health and exploring how God calls us to pursue a holistic approach to daily living.

This pursuit is grounded in the greatest commandment: to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and strength. When we align our lives with this truth, we experience God's peace that surpasses understanding, guiding us toward spiritual, emotional, and mental wholeness.
