In this message from 1 Corinthians 5:6–7 (ESV), the call is issued for the Church to reclaim its role as a guardian of God’s house. This sermon challenges the idea that tolerance equals love and reminds us that grace does not eliminate responsibility. Through Paul’s warning about leaven, we are shown how small, unchecked compromises can quietly reshape culture and identity. This word calls believers to guard what God has entrusted, to live consistent with who Christ has already made us, and to protect the house with courage, humility, and clarity. To name Christ is not just to confess Him, but to steward His dwelling.

In this message from Acts 16:6–10 (ESV), we are reminded that God’s “no” is often mercy, protection, and redirection—not rejection. This sermon challenges the belief that movement always equals confirmation and reveals how God intentionally closes doors to preserve alignment, sharpen discernment, and lead us into purpose. Through Paul’s journey, we see that productivity is not the same as obedience and opportunity is not the same as instruction. This word encourages believers to stop mourning what God shut, trust His interruptions, and recognize that closed doors often position us for assignments we could not see on our own.
