Jesus Chats | Wk2 -Jesus Chats with the Ashamed | Pastor Kim

In Week 2 of our Jesus Chats series, Pastor Kim walks us through one of the most powerful and emotional encounters in the Gospels, the woman caught in adultery in John 8. This message is for anyone who has ever carried shame, regret, failure, or the fear of being exposed. While the crowd wanted condemnation, Jesus responded with compassion, truth, and grace. He didn’t ignore sin, but He refused to let shame have the final word. In a world quick to label people by their worst moment, Jesus speaks a better word. He silences accusation, steps into our brokenness, and calls us forward into freedom and restoration. No matter what you’ve done or what you’ve carried, this conversation reminds us that Jesus still meets ashamed people with mercy, hope, and a new beginning.

God is Good Even When Life is Not | Pastor Chris

In this powerful and deeply personal message, Pastor Chris shares a stand-alone teaching following the unexpected passing of a beloved church member. In moments of grief, pain, unanswered prayers, and loss, one question often rises to the surface: “Is God still good?” Through the stories of Job, Paul, Jeremiah, and the life and testimony of Ryan Hancock, this message reminds us that faith is not pretending pain doesn’t exist. Faith is being anchored to the unchanging goodness of God in the middle of life’s storms. We live in a broken world scarred by sin, but even in suffering, grief, uncertainty, and loss, God remains faithful, near, and good. This message will encourage anyone wrestling with hurt, disappointment, or questions about God in difficult seasons. No matter what life looks like right now, may this message remind you to stay anchored to Jesus and trust that God is still good… even when life is not.

Jesus Chats | Wk 1 - Jesus Chats with The Bound | Pastor Chris

In Week 1 of our brand-new series, Jesus Chats, Pastor Chris dives into one of the most powerful and intense encounters in the Gospels, the story of the demoniac in Mark 5. A man isolated, tormented, and living among tombs encounters Jesus, and everything changes. This message is about more than demons. It’s about the chains people carry every day: shame, addiction, fear, anxiety, trauma, anger, and the labels that try to define us. Through this conversation, we see that Jesus is not afraid of broken people, and He still walks into dark places to bring restoration, freedom, and hope. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past, overwhelmed by your struggles, or defined by your worst moments, this message is for you. One conversation with Jesus can still change everything.

Pouring Out Without Running Dry | Pastor Kim

Sometimes life leaves us feeling emotionally, mentally, and spiritually empty. We keep showing up for everyone else while quietly wondering how much we really have left. In this powerful Mother’s Day message, Pastor Kim unpacks the story of the widow in 1 Kings 17 and reveals how God meets us at the edge, not after we’ve figured everything out. Through drought, lack, grief, and uncertainty, God proved Himself to be the One who sustains. This message is for anyone who feels stretched thin, overlooked, exhausted, or running dry. You’ll be reminded that God does not ask for what you don’t have. He works with what’s already in your hands. And when you trust Him with it, He sustains what you pour out day by day. You may feel empty, but Heaven still sees oil in your jar. God is still sustaining.

Never Alone | Pastor Chris

Have you ever felt alone… even when you’re surrounded by people? In this powerful message, Pastor Chris unpacks a truth we all wrestle with: Why do we feel alone if God says He’s with us? Using the familiar theme of isolation found in Marvel stories, this message connects the struggle we see on screen to the reality we experience in life. But it doesn’t stop there. You’ll discover: * Why feeling alone is real… but not the full truth * How our emotions can mislead us if we’re not anchored * The powerful reality that God’s presence is based on His promise, not our feelings * How Jesus stepped into our deepest moments of isolation so we would never have to face them alone From Psalm 139 to the cross, this message reminds us of one life-changing truth: “Even there… He is.” No matter where you find yourself today… the silence, the struggle, the questions… You are not alone.
