In this message, “Hell Hates Pleasing: Why The Church Must Never Get Too Selfish,” we look at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1 and confront a sobering truth: the goal of our lives is to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord—fully pleasing to Him.

The enemy doesn’t fear comfortable Christianity.
He fears a Church that lives to please God.

This sermon challenges believers to examine whether we are living worthy of the Gospel or drifting into self-centered faith. Because we do not belong to ourselves—we were bought at a price. Our calling is higher. Our purpose is clearer.

In this message, you’ll hear about:
What it truly means to live a life worthy of God
Why pleasing the Lord requires obedience, not convenience
How real faith produces visible fruit through good works
Why knowing God deeply matters more than success, power, or status
The danger of a selfish Church in a world that needs light

Drawing from Colossians 1, 1 Corinthians 6, Ephesians 4, Philippians 1 & 3, James 2, Titus 2, and more, this message calls the Church back to its true focus: honoring God, bearing fruit, and increasing in the knowledge of Him.

Because when the Church lives to please God,
hell loses ground.

And when believers stop living for themselves,
the Gospel becomes visible again.

Community is more than a crowd. It’s more than a large gathering. Community is family.

In this message, “Hell Hates Small,” we walk through Acts 2 and Acts 5 to see that the early church didn’t just grow in public spaces, but from house to house—around tables, in shared meals, prayer, teaching, and everyday life together. It also confronts why we often resist that kind of closeness. Small community can feel risky, exposing our struggles and calling us to forgive and bear one another’s burdens—yet Scripture shows that this is exactly where healing, growth, and true discipleship take root.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:
Why we run from close community
How God designed us for family, not a fanbase
Where confession, forgiveness, and healing truly happen
What it means to lay our lives down in love for one another

This message challenges us to step out of isolation and into intentional, vulnerable community—and asks a searching question: Will we choose comfort and anonymity, or will we choose the kind of closeness that forms us into the likeness of Christ?

Because hell hates small.
And small is where disciples are made.

Worship is more than a moment.
It’s more than a song.
Worship is obedience.

In this message, “Worship Is Obedience,” we walk through Genesis 22 and discover that true worship is revealed not by what we say or sing, but by how we live when God asks something costly of us.

The story of Abraham and Isaac shows us that worship often leads us into moments of testing, requires deep faith, demands that we carry what’s hard, and ultimately invites us into wonder when God reveals Himself as provider.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:
Why worship often begins with a test
How obedience requires faith before understanding
What it means to carry the weight of surrender
How God meets obedience with provision and wonder

This message challenges us to reexamine what worship really looks like in our daily lives—and asks a simple but searching question:

Will we trust God enough to obey Him, even when the cost is high?

Because worship isn’t just expressed with our words—
It’s proven through our obedience.

What if everybody started sowing—
like the harvest actually depended on it?

In this message, “What If Everybody Started Sowing?” we’re reminded that the call of Jesus is not passive. The command is simple and urgent: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel.”

This sermon challenges believers to live on mission every day—keeping the light on, walking a different path, and moving in the opposite spirit of the world around us.

In this message, you’ll hear about:
Why believers are called to stay visible and keep the light on
What it means to walk the narrow road when culture chooses the wide one
How to overcome evil by doing good
Why your life should model a different outcome
How to be ready to share your faith—at any moment

You’ll also be encouraged to be ready with:
Your personal story of what Jesus has done
Biblical answers grounded in truth and gentleness
Scripture for moments when people need hope
Practical help when others need it most

The harvest is ready.
The question is no longer who should go—
It’s what would happen if everyone did?
