Rich in Mercy — Even for a Roman

Fight Based on Truth

What does it mean to fight spiritual battles based on truth? Guest speaker Rev. Donovan Coley opens our new series, When Truth Stands Its Ground, by examining Luke 10–11 and Jesus' teaching on spiritual authority, the Kingdom of God, and the unseen spiritual realm. "Spiritual warfare is won in the life of the Christian when we stand on the truth about who God is and whose we are." Whether you're facing opposition, confusion, fear, or doubt, this message will encourage you to stand your ground on the truth of God's Word. #WhenTruthStandsItsGround #SpiritualWarfare #Luke11 #IdentityInChrist #AvalonChurch

Rich in Mercy - Even for the Unseen

In Luke 8, Jesus surrounds Himself with people society overlooked — doubters, outsiders, ordinary workers, and unseen women who helped build the Kingdom of God. This message explores how Jesus values the people others ignore and how His mercy doesn’t just restore people, it empowers them. If you’ve ever felt unseen, disconnected, or unimportant, this message is for you. Series: Rich in Mercy Scripture: Luke 8:1–3

Rich in Mercy - Even for a Sinner

A sinful woman crashes a dinner party, falls at the feet of Jesus, and worships Him while an entire room watches in shock. Some judged her. Some stood by silently. Jesus saw her differently. In this message from Luke 7, we explore what mercy really looks like, why forgiven people love differently, and the question every person in the room had to answer: Which one are you?

Rich in Mercy—Even When We Doubt

What do you do when faith gets complicated? In Luke 7, John the Baptist, the same man who prepared the way for Jesus, finds himself questioning in a dark season. Instead of responding with shame or condemnation, Jesus responds with mercy, evidence, and compassion.

Rich In Mercy - Even for the Dead

What happens when Jesus walks straight into grief, loss, and hopelessness? In Luke 7, we see a powerful moment where Jesus meets a grieving widow at the gates of a city—and everything changes. This message explores the heart of Jesus: a Savior who feels our pain, steps into broken places, and speaks life where there was only death. But this story isn’t just about what Jesus did then—it’s about what He still does now. If you’ve ever felt stuck, numb, or like something in your life is beyond hope, this message is for you. Jesus still brings dead things back to life.
