You Are Not the Only One Fighting for Your Soul

Jesus Names Exactly What You're Missing. Then He Becomes It.

In Revelation 2 and 3, the risen Christ walks through seven real churches in seven real cities. He stops in front of each one. And before He commends anybody, before He corrects anybody, He says the same two words: I know. Then He names Himself. And the name He picks is the exact thing that church was missing.

The Universe is Watching Your Church

Scripture makes a startling claim: the rulers and authorities of the unseen world are studying the church. Not a cathedral. Not a movement. An ordinary congregation of forgiven people who showed up on a Sunday. In Ephesians 3:8–13, Paul writes from a prison cell and tells a mismatched church of Jews and Gentiles that God is unrolling His many-colored wisdom before the whole cosmos, and He is doing it through them. Which leaves one question for us: what will heaven see when it looks at this room?

How should we pray for The Church?

In today's sermon, we dive into The Church as Christ's primary instrument for advancing His kingdom. As believers, we should make it a priority to pray for The Church -- especially for her purity, her unity, and her mission.

What If I Trust God and It Doesn't Work Out?

What if you trust God completely and still end up embarrassed? Still end up with nothing? That fear keeps more people from fully surrendering than almost anything else. In this message from Psalm 25, we look at the prayer King David wrote when his enemies were circling and his past was catching up with him and we find four moves a praying heart makes to trade anxiety for real, grounded trust.

The Lie Shame Tells You About God

Shame tells you that you've gone too far. It tells you that God is waiting for you to clean yourself up before you come back, and that the worst thing you've done is the truest thing about you. But that's not what the Bible says. In Psalm 51, King David writes one of the most honest prayers in all of Scripture, not after he had things figured out, but from the bottom of one of the worst seasons of his life. His prayer shows us how the Lord wants us to understand shame, guilt, and the character of God.
