IFGF Los Angeles Sermon Series

The Upside-Down Kingdom week 3 | Stephanus Elia

On this Graduation Sunday, we explore how our work is an act of service rather than something secular, rooted in the understanding that we live, move, and have our being in God. By embracing the "second mile"—going beyond what is required—we demonstrate a commitment to excellence that points others toward Jesus rather than simply proving ourselves. Join us as we learn to do all things well, honoring God with our work and trusting Him to continue the good work He has begun in us.

God is Fighting this Battle For Us | Crystaline Ryan

In this message, we explore the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 to learn how to trust God when facing overwhelming battles. By seeking the Lord, positioning ourselves, and standing still, we can experience the salvation of God who fights on our behalf. Discover how worshiping your way through the storm allows you to arise, shine, and see the glory of the Lord manifested in your life.

The Upside-Down Kingdom week 2 | John Mendez

In this message, we explore the Christian attitude toward generosity, examining how our willingness to give reflects the heart of the "Upside-Down Kingdom." Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9 and the story of the widow’s offering, we learn that true richness is found not in what we accumulate, but in how we joyfully sow into the lives of others. Join us as we discover how a life of radical, confident generosity fuels God’s work and transforms our own hearts in the process.

The Upside-Down Kingdom week 1 | Stephanus Elia

In this message, we explore the radical nature of the "Upside-Down Kingdom," where true greatness is found not in power or status, but in humble service to others. Drawing from Matthew 20, we examine how Jesus flips the world's values on their head by demonstrating that the path to being first is to become a servant. Join us as we learn what it means to embrace this divine paradox and follow the example of Christ, who came not to be served, but to give His life as a ransom for many.

Ministry of Motherhood | Stephanus Elia

In this special message titled "Ministry of Motherhood," we explore the sacred and often unseen work of mothers as a powerful reflection of the gospel. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2, we see how the daily sacrifices, sleepless nights, and constant care of a mother serve as a living sermon that shapes the next generation. Join us as we honor the vital role mothers play in God's kingdom and discover the deep spiritual significance found in the heart of the home.
