Re: Reconcile Your Relationships

Broken relationships have a way of affecting every part of life. They steal our peace, consume our thoughts, and often hinder our walk with God. In this message, we look at the remarkable reconciliation between Jacob and Esau and discover God’s heart for restoring what has been broken. Through forgiveness, humility, personal responsibility, and peacemaking, we learn that reconciliation is not about winning, getting even, or demanding a response—it’s about reflecting the grace God has shown us through Christ. Because God reconciled us to Himself, He calls us to become people who pursue peace, extend forgiveness, and take the first step toward healing fractured relationships.

Re: Remember Your God

It’s often not hardship that makes us forget God—it’s comfort. When life is full, blessings are abundant, and prayers are answered, it can become dangerously easy to enjoy God’s gifts while forgetting God Himself. In this message, we’re called to renew our faith by intentionally remembering what Jesus saved us from, recognizing His faithfulness through every season, trusting that His promises are bigger than our present problems, and building spiritual practices that keep His goodness in front of us daily. Deuteronomy reminds us to be careful not to forget the Lord, because a good life can easily distract us from the God who gave it. This sermon is an invitation to rebuild gratitude, strengthen faith, and remember that God has always been good—even when life is hard.

Re: Rediscover Your Identity

In a world shaped by pressure, comparison, wounds, and impossible expectations, it’s easy to lose sight of who God created you to be. This Mother’s Day message calls us back to our true identity—not one built on performance, appearance, pain, or others’ opinions, but on God’s truth. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that our worth comes from whose we are, not what we do; our identity is received, not achieved; and our healing begins when we let God redefine what others have tried to distort. Whether you’ve been living exhausted, wounded, or uncertain, Jesus invites you to rediscover your value, your healing, and your identity as a deeply loved child of God.

Re: Reset Your Life on Jesus

Life can drift before we even realize it. Distractions, shame, control, broken habits, and misplaced priorities can slowly pull us away from the fullness Jesus offers. In this opening message of the Re: series, we’re invited to stop trying harder and instead reset deeper—by re-centering our lives on Jesus. Through repentance, releasing hurts, resisting sin, reprioritizing what matters most, and surrendering control, God doesn’t just call us to behave better—He transforms us from the inside out. This is your invitation to begin again and experience the rich, satisfying life Jesus promised.

Amazed by Jesus - Amazed By His Compassion

One of the most powerful and consistent qualities of Jesus is His compassion. Throughout the Gospels, we see Him moved by the pain, brokenness, and needs of people—and He never turns away. In this message, we take a closer look at the heart of Jesus and what it means for us today. His compassion is not distant or passive; it is personal, active, and life-changing. Whether someone is hurting physically, emotionally, or spiritually, Jesus meets them with grace, truth, and love. As we reflect on His compassion, we are invited not only to receive it, but to live it—to become people who see others the way Jesus does and respond with the same mercy and care.
