The Secret of Strength | The Collapse

Samson wasn't destroyed by one bad decision—it was hundreds of small compromises that slowly pulled him away from God. In this message from Judges 16, we discover how giftedness can hide dangerous character flaws, why success can become a greater spiritual danger than failure, and how drifting from God happens one step at a time. Most importantly, we're reminded that no matter how far we've wandered, God's grace is still pursuing us. Your story isn't over.

Superheroes and Kryptonite

God created you for supernatural strength through His Spirit, but lust, entitlement, and pride can become our kryptonite. Samson's story reminds us that true strength isn't found in self-confidence but in surrendering our weakness to God's grace and power.

Secret of Strength | A Strong Beginning

God is looking for people who will stand in the gap. As we begin Samson’s story, we discover that true strength isn’t found in power, talent, or willpower—it begins with wholehearted obedience to God. When we live set apart for Him, He can use ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things.

More than Enough | The Paradoxical Power of Professing Your Weakness

The world teaches us to hide our weaknesses, but God often does His greatest work through them. In 2 Corinthians 12, Paul shows that our limitations, struggles, and “thorns” can become places where God’s grace shines brightest and His power is made perfect.

Senior Sunday 2026

This sermon, titled “Saved by Grace Through Faith,” teaches from Ephesians 2:1-10 and Hebrews 11 that every believer’s story begins with being spiritually dead in sin, but is transformed by the words “But God.” Kingston emphasizes that salvation is not earned by good works, church attendance, or personal effort, but is a gift of God’s mercy and grace received through faith in Jesus; good works come after salvation as evidence of a changed life. Aiden then explains that living “through faith” means taking obedient steps before everything is clear, trusting God through uncertainty, and anchoring life in the unchanging truth of God’s character rather than feelings or control. The sermon especially challenges graduates and anyone entering a new season to stop trying to “hold the pen” of their own story, surrender anxiety and control to God, receive His grace with open hands, and walk daily in faith, trust, and truth.
