    Love
    Jun 28 2026
    Love is not merely a feeling, preference, or sentimental idea. Biblical love is an action rooted in the love God has already shown us. Scripture calls believers to love in several distinct ways: to love the Lord completely, to love our neighbor as ourselves, to love our enemies, to love one another as Christ loved us, and for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not seek its own. Love covers a multitude of sins. Most importantly, love comes from God. Because we are secure in His love, we can risk loving others. Even when they do not love us back. The challenge is clear: love is not only something we receive from God. It is something we are commanded to live out. Sermon Notes Deuteronomy 6:5 Love the Lord your God completely Leviticus 19:18 Love your neighbor as yourself Matthew 5:43 & 44 Love your enemy John 15:12 Love other believers as Christ did Ephesians 5:25 & 26 Husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church 1 John 4:7 Love is from God 1 Peter 4:8 Love covers a multitude of sins 1 Corinthians 13: 1 – 13 Love defined

  • Faith

    Faith
    Jun 21 2026
    Biblical faith is not assumption, wishful thinking, or simply believing hard enough for something we want. True faith is believing what God has said and trusting that He will do what He has promised. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Abraham becomes a key example: he obeyed when God called him, journeyed without knowing the full destination, and trusted God even when the promise seemed impossible. Explore saving faith, justified faith, walking by faith, living by faith in Christ, and the honest prayer, “I believe; help my unbelief.” Faith is essential to the Christian life, and Scripture tells us how it grows: faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. If you want stronger faith, the answer is not assumption or emotion, it is hearing God’s Word, trusting what He says, and walking in obedience. Sermon Notes Hebrews 11:1 What faith is Hebrews 11:6 Without faith impossible to please God Hebrews 11:8 –10 & 17 – 19 Abram an example of faith Matthew 17:19 & 20 What the size of a mustard seed can faith do Luke 7:40 – 50 Saving faith Romans 5:1 Justified by faith 2 Corinthians 5:6– 9 We walk by faith Galatians 2:20 We live by faith in Christ Habakkuk 2:4 The righteous lives by his faith Mark 9:14 – 24 Help by unbelief Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing the word of God Jude (1) 17 – 21 Build up your most holy faith

  • Forgive

    Forgive
    Jun 14 2026
    Forgiveness is one of the hardest things God calls us to do. Many people say unforgiveness harms us emotionally or physically, but Scripture shows that refusing to forgive carries an even deeper spiritual consequence. Jesus commands us to forgive others as God has forgiven us in Christ, not merely once, not only when it feels easy, and not only after someone asks. Through the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus shows the seriousness of receiving mercy while refusing to give mercy. From the cross, Jesus prayed for those crucifying Him before they even asked for forgiveness. And through Joseph’s story, we see how God can take what others meant for evil and use it for good. This sermon challenges us not only to forgive one person, but to become forgiving people, reflecting the heart of our Father, who forgave a debt we could never repay. Sermon Notes Ephesians 4:32 Forgive each other as God has forgiven you Matthew 18:21 – 35 How many times are we forgive & what happens if we don’t Matthew 6:12 We are to pray forgive us as we have forgiven. Matthew 6:14 & 15 If you don’t God. Does not forgive you Luke 23:34 Jesus prays for those who are crucifying Him and they have not even asked for forgiveness

  • The Word

    The Word
    Jun 7 2026
    Many Christians know they should read the Bible and should study the Word of God. Scriptures are not merely helpful literature or religious advice. Scriptures are God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correction, reproof, and training in righteousness. The Bible reveals who God is, teaches us how to live, corrects us when we wander, strengthens us in righteousness, gives encouragement and hope, and lights the path before us. God’s Word is not temporary or outdated, it endures forever. All Scripture points us to Jesus. God spoke through the prophets, through Scripture, and ultimately through His Son, who is the exact representation of God’s nature. If we want to know God, understand His will, and walk faithfully, we must treasure, study, remember, and obey His Word. The Word of God is a lamp to our feet, a light to our path, and the testimony that leads us to Christ. Sermon Notes 2 Timothy 3:16 2 Peter 3:14 - 16 It is God breathed Paul’s writings are Scripture 1 Peter 1:24 & 25 Lasts forever 1 Peter 2:1 – 3 Long for it Psalm 119:9 -19 Helps to keep it and never forget it Psalm 119:105 It is a light to our way Romans 15:4 Gives hope and encouragement Hebrews 1:1 – 3 God spoke through Jesus who is God

  • Rejoice

    Rejoice
    May 31 2026
    What is the difference between happiness and joy? There is Christian call to rejoice always. Happiness often depends on circumstances, but biblical joy is rooted in the Lord, His salvation, His Word, and the hope we have in Him. Joy is not meant to stay hidden. Rejoicing means expressing the joy God has placed within us. Believers are to rejoice even though one's own life included suffering, persecution, imprisonment, and hardship. Joy is not based on an easy life, but on a secure relationship with Christ. This message challenges us to ask: Do we have joy? Do others know we have joy? Are we rejoicing in the Lord always—not just when circumstances are good? Because of whom God is, what He has done, the salvation He provides, the hope He gives, and the Word He has revealed, believers have every reason to rejoice. Sermon Notes Philippians 4:4 Always Philippians 3:1 In the Lord Psalm 35:9 In God and His salvation Psalm 118:19 – 24 This day because of Jesus Psalm 119:161 & 162 At His word Romans 12:9 – 13 In hope Philippians 2:18 Share your joy

  • Promises

    Promises
    May 17 2026
    Has anyone ever failed to keep a promise they made to you? Have you ever failed to keep a promise yourself? In this message, we look at the promises of God and why His Word can be trusted. Unlike people, God does not make promises He cannot keep. He is faithful, and because He is faithful, believers can hold fast to hope without wavering. This sermon walks through several promises God has given to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose: eternal life in Christ, resurrection and life through Jesus, a new and imperishable body, a permanent heavenly dwelling, a divine nature, the Spirit’s intercession, God working all things together for good, and the assurance that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. These promises are not merely for the future. They give strength, courage, and confidence now. God promises His presence when even two or three gather in His name, rewards what is given up for His sake, and remains with His people to the end of the age. This message is a reminder that we walk by faith, not by sight—and that the One who promised is faithful. Sermon Notes Hebrews 10:23 Jesus is faithful 1 John 2:25 Eternal life John 11:23 – 27 Belief in Jesus we then receive His resurrection and life 1 Corinthians15:35 – 58 A new body 2 Corinthians 5:1 – 10 We to get a permanent and eternal body 2 Peter 1:2 – 4 Will have a divine nature Romans 8:26 & 27 The Spirit prays for us according to the will of God Romans 8:28 He causes all things to work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose Romans 8:35 – 39 Nothing can separate us from God’s love Matthew 18:20 Jesus is there if just 2 or 3 are gathered in His name Matthew 19:29 Whatever you give up for Jesus, He will reward you many times more Matthew 28:19 & 20 Jesus will be with us even to the end of the age

  • Peace

    Peace
    May 10 2026
    Anxiety is one of the most common struggles people face, but God gives us a better answer than simply masking it or coping with it. Peace is not the temporary peace the world offers, but the peace Jesus gives. Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you.” His peace is not based on perfect circumstances, personal control, or the absence of trouble. It is rooted in who He is and what He has done. Peace is not merely a feeling. It is a gift from Christ, a fruit of the Spirit, and the result of being reconciled to God. Whatever circumstance you are facing, the Lord of peace is able to grant you peace continually. Sermon Notes John 14:27 Jesus gives us His peace Philippians 4:6 – 9 Prayer rather than be anxious and God’s peace surpasses all comprehension. Also dwell on positive things 1 Peter 5:7 Galatians 5:22 2 Thessalonians 3:16 Cast your cares on Jesus, He cares for you Peace is a fruit of the Spirit The Lord can grant peace in every circumstance Ephesians 2:14 - 18 Jesus is our peace and He stops division by reconciling us to God Colossians 1:19 – 22 Jesus by the cross reconciled and made peace for us Isaiah 1:9 Jesus is the Prince of Peace
