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?

The world has a problem—and Jesus named it clearly.
Humanity is lost and weary, like sheep without a shepherd.
In this message, “The Great Problem of the Church: Understanding Your Place to Take Your Place,” we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 9 and confront both the condition of the world and the responsibility of the Church.
The harvest is ready—but the workers are few. The issue isn’t the field. It’s whether the Church is willing to step in, wake up, and take responsibility for the work God has entrusted to us.
In this sermon, you’ll hear about:
Why minimizing the problem leads to ignoring the solution

The reality of a weary, lost world

Why the Church often misunderstands its role

What keeps believers from serving and stepping up

How Jesus calls us to be part of the solution

Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray for workers—He called us to become them.
If you call this church home, this message will challenge you to stop spectating and start participating—because the more God moves among us, the greater the harvest He entrusts to us.

Growth is a gift—but it’s rarely comfortable.

God often uses seasons of divine discomfort to stretch us, mature us, and move us forward. What feels inconvenient, costly, or even frustrating is often evidence that He is doing something deeper than we can see.

In this message, “Divine Discomfort: Growth Brings Beautiful Challenges,” we explore how spiritual growth doesn’t happen accidentally—and it doesn’t come without tension. When God brings increase, it forces us to confront what needs to change.

Through Scripture, we see that growth:
Comes from God alone—not effort, talent, or position
Exposes whether our hearts respond with complaints or conviction
Requires maturity, responsibility, and the willingness to let go of childish ways

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, Acts 6, and 1 Corinthians 13, this sermon highlights how the early Church navigated rapid growth—not by avoiding problems, but by addressing them with wisdom, prayer, and obedience. What could have divided them instead multiplied their impact.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:
Why God is the true source of all growth
How growth can reveal what’s really in our hearts
The difference between reacting in frustration and responding with faith
Why maturity always costs something—but leads to something better

If you’re in a season where things feel stretched, uncomfortable, or demanding more of you than before, this message may help you see it differently.

Because divine discomfort isn’t meant to harm you—
It’s often the evidence that God is growing you.
