A Prayer and the Plan to End Sin | Daniel 9

How do you find hope in a world marked by suffering, injustice, and brokenness? In Daniel 9, we encounter one of the most significant prophecies in all of Scripture. As Daniel prays for the restoration of Israel, God answers with a glimpse into His greater plan, a plan to deal with sin, bring everlasting righteousness, and fulfill His promises through the coming Messiah. In this message, Pastor Steven Hiller explores Daniel's prayer of confession, God's gracious response, and the prophecy of the Seventy Weeks. Along the way, we discover that true hope is not found in ourselves, in politics, or in human progress, but in the faithfulness of God. Even when His timeline is longer than we expect, His purposes are moving forward exactly as He intends. Join us as we consider what Daniel 9 reveals about repentance, God's covenant faithfulness, Jesus Christ, and the hope available to all who trust in Him.

When Kingdoms Collide | Daniel 8

When the world feels unstable, how can we remain steadfast and unshaken? In Daniel 8, God gives Daniel a vision of rising and falling kingdoms, powerful rulers, persecution, and suffering yet to come. At first glance, the vision seems troubling. But beneath the chaos is a reassuring truth: God is sovereign over history. The rise and fall of empires, the struggles of God's people, and even the darkest moments of human history unfold according to His purposes. In this sermon, Pastor Steven Hiller explores Daniel's vision of the ram, the goat, and the little horn, examines the historical fulfillment of these prophecies, and shows how fulfilled prophecy strengthens our confidence in God's promises for the future. Whether you're wrestling with uncertainty, trying to make sense of current events, or simply seeking deeper confidence in God's sovereignty, this message offers hope: when kingdoms collide, God's Kingdom cannot be shaken.

When the Beasts Rise and Rage | Daniel 7

When the world feels unstable, where can we look for hope? In Daniel 7, the prophet Daniel receives a dramatic vision of beastly kingdoms rising from the sea, arrogant rulers opposing God, and a future marked by suffering and uncertainty. Yet above the chaos sits the Ancient of Days on His throne, and to the Son of Man is given an everlasting kingdom that will never be destroyed. In this message, Pastor Mace Perez explores how Daniel 7 reorients God's people to endure faithfully in the midst of frightening and uncertain times. The kingdoms of this world may appear powerful, but they are temporary. The Ancient of Days is still reigning, and the kingdom ultimately belongs to the Son of Man and His people. Whether you are navigating personal hardship, cultural uncertainty, political anxiety, or simply wondering where to find lasting hope, this passage offers a powerful reminder: the beasts are real, and the suffering is real, but neither is ultimate.

God the Spirit | His Ministry: The Christian Life

What happens after we die? Is the Christian hope simply escaping to heaven—or something far greater? In this final session of our “Nicene Creed: Foundations of the Christian Faith” Discipleship Class, Pastor Mace Perez explores one of the most beautiful and often misunderstood truths of Christianity: “We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come.” Together, we consider the Bible’s vision of resurrection, eternal life, the new heaven and new earth, and the renewing work of the Holy Spirit. Rather than describing eternity as disembodied souls floating in heaven forever, the Christian Story points us to the restoration of all things through Jesus Christ—the defeat of sin and death, renewed creation, resurrection bodies, and everlasting joy in the presence of God. Whether you are a longtime Christian, spiritually curious, or wrestling with questions about heaven, suffering, purpose, and eternity, this conversation invites you to see the truth, goodness, and beauty of the Christian Story with fresh eyes.

Faithful and Vindicated | Daniel 6

What do we do when what is right and what feels easiest don’t line up? In Daniel 6, we encounter the familiar story of Daniel in the lions’ den. But beneath the surface is a deeper invitation to lives of quiet, steady faithfulness in a world constantly pulling our hearts in different directions. Daniel’s courage wasn’t built in a single dramatic moment. It was formed through years of ordinary obedience, prayer, integrity, and trust in God. In this sermon, Pastor Mace Perez explores what it means to remain faithful when honesty is costly, compromise is normalized, and cultural pressure quietly shapes our loves and loyalties. And ultimately, the story points us to Jesus—the greater Daniel—who was unjustly condemned, passed through death, and was vindicated through resurrection so that we could be welcomed into God’s unshakable kingdom. If you’ve ever wrestled with integrity, compromise, distraction, pressure, or the fear of doing the right thing when it costs something, this message is for you.
