October 13 · length unknownReady for More
Pastor Johnathan kicks off a new series called "Ready for More," calling the church to pursue a deeper, more supernatural relationship with God through bold prayer, spiritual warfare, and personal transformation. Drawing from Exodus 3 and Acts 2, he challenges believers to stop playing it safe, take off their self-protective sandals, and make a decisive shift toward the presence of God. The harvest field is ripe, the enemy is real but limited, and the time to press in is now.

September 14 · length unknownRestoration & Power
Pastor Steve Smith kicks off a new series called "Encounters" by diving into one of the most personal and powerful stories in all of Scripture — the restoration of Peter in John 21. Peter, who had a front-row seat to the miracles of Jesus, who walked on water, and who declared in John 6:68, "Lord, to whom should we go? For you have the words of eternal life," still fell into denial, driven by pride, fear of man, doubt, and insecurity. Pastor Steve reminds us that in some way or another, we've all been there — because every time we sin, we are, in a sense, choosing our own understanding over the Word of God. But the heart of the message isn't Peter's failure — it's Jesus' relentless pursuit of restoration. Just as Psalms 23:6 tells us that God's goodness and mercy are pursuing us all the days of our lives, Jesus went out of His way to meet Peter on the beach, cook him breakfast over a charcoal fire, and gently ask him three times, "Do you love me?" Pastor Steve points out the remarkable detail that the charcoal fire in John 21 mirrors the charcoal fire in John 18 — the very place where Peter denied Christ. Jesus wasn't just feeding Peter a meal; He was replacing a painful memory with one of healing and restoration, because as Romans 2:4 tells us, it is His kindness that leads us to repentance. Through this encounter, Jesus reminded Peter of his calling, reaffirmed his commitment, and restored him with purpose — sending him out to feed His sheep. Pastor Steve challenges each of us to do the same: to open the door when Jesus knocks (Rev. 3:20), to repent and turn back to Him, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to pursue the calling God has placed on our lives right where we are. Whether you're a student, a worker, or someone who has simply drifted away, Jesus is standing at the shore today, calling you back home.

July 20 · length unknownI Am Coming
Pastor Johnathan opens this message by returning to the ongoing series through the Book of Psalms, landing on Psalm 27 — a psalm written by David during a season of real and pressing danger. Enemies surrounded him, false witnesses spoke against him, and violent men came against him. Yet rather than collapsing under the weight of it all, David opens with a declaration of confidence: "The Lord is my light and my salvation — so why should I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1). Pastor Johnathan sets this ancient text against a very modern and urgent backdrop — a recent visit with dear friends from Nicaragua who are living under increasing government persecution for their Christian faith. The stories from Nicaragua are striking. Friends Pastor Johnathan has known since 2009 — bold, field-tested believers — collected every phone in the room before they would speak about their government, terrified of being listened to. What was once a vibrant ministry of open-air worship, street prayer, and Bible distribution has been criminalized. Praying for someone on the street means automatic arrest and two months in jail. Playing worship music publicly carries the same penalty. Bibles are confiscated. In the years that Pastor Johnathan's team was active in the region, they distributed over 5,000 Bibles to 5,000 families — not knowing how precious those Bibles would become. The lesson he draws is direct: we need to be obedient now, because we don't know what liberties we could lose later. From this, Pastor Johnathan pivots to a broader declaration about identity and freedom. As America celebrates 250 years of independence, he reminds the congregation that the greater freedom — the one worth celebrating every single day — began just over 2,000 years ago when Jesus rose from the grave. "Yes, I'm an American. Yes, I am a Texan," he says, "but before all that, I am a Christian." Quoting Saint Ignatius, he echoes the sentiment: "I wish not merely to be called Christian, but also to be Christian." And quoting Romans 1:16, he anchors the church in Paul's declaration: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." The church cannot afford to be a fear-driven people. The only fear that belongs to the believer is the fear of God — and as Oswald Chambers reminds us, when you fear God, you fear nothing else. The heart of the sermon is built around three powerful realities from Psalm 27. First, Pastor Johnathan unpacks the significance of confidence as a spiritual weapon. He draws from Hebrews 10:35 — "Do not throw away your confidence, for it will be richly rewarded" — and makes the case that a wavering, uncertain believer gives the enemy an open door. Confidence in Jesus is what allows us to walk on the water with Him; losing that confidence is what sinks us. He also connects confidence directly to faith, citing Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Confidence and faith are inseparable — when one weakens, so does the other. Second, Pastor Johnathan addresses the nature of light and darkness. Jesus is the light — and light always wins. Darkness, he explains, is anything that refuses to submit to the lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of His Word. Darkness torments, keeps people restless, floods the mind with destructive thoughts, and leads ultimately toward rebellion. He references 1 Samuel 15:23, which says "rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft and stubbornness as bad as worshiping idols." Darkness cannot understand the light, and it cannot overpower the light — the only way darkness gains ground is when we choose not to turn the light switch on. Drawing from his own testimony, Pastor Johnathan describes years of flipping an internal switch on and off — choosing numbness over vulnerability — and how the longer he kept it off, the harder it became to turn back on. The answer, he says, is staying connected to the source: "Because I am the

May 18 · length unknownPositioning for Victory!
Pastor Joe opens with a personal story about organizing gospel events in Zambia that left him buried in debt, setting the stage for a sermon rooted in real-life struggle. Using Psalm 3 — David's psalm written while fleeing his own son Absalom's coup — Pastor Joe asks the central question: how can we position ourselves for victory when life falls apart? His answer unfolds in four practical points drawn straight from the text. The first two points center on who God is and how we relate to Him. Pastor Joe makes a sharp distinction between knowing about God and truly knowing God — describing the latter as "a deep experiential and personal relationship that leads to a complete transformation of one's life from the inside out." He emphasizes that David called God Lord, a word that carries the weight of both covenant relationship and supreme rulership, meaning full surrender is required. From that place of surrender, trust naturally grows — just as David shifts his focus in Psalm 3 from his overwhelming enemies to the God who is his shield. The final two points remind us that God is present in the storm and that He genuinely answers prayer. Pastor Joe draws from Matthew 14 to show that even the disciples, who were squarely in the will of God, hit a fierce storm on the water. Being in God's will doesn't guarantee smooth sailing, but it does guarantee His presence. He closes with a remarkable personal story of being stranded, robbed, and penniless in a foreign country — only for God to send an old roommate, out of nowhere, to meet every single need. The sermon lands with a challenge: surrender your life to Jesus fully, put in the daily work of a relationship with Him, and watch what He does.

May 12 · length unknownPatiently Waiting
On Mother's Day, Pastor Daniel brings a word rooted in Psalm 40:1-3, opening with Lamentations 3:25-26 — "The Lord is good to those who depend on Him...so it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord." Rather than preaching a traditional Mother's Day message, Pastor Daniel speaks directly to those in a quiet, stagnant season — not a dramatic storm, but the kind of silent desert where prayers feel like they're hitting the ceiling and nothing seems to be moving. He reminds the church that silence doesn't mean God is absent, and that quiet seasons are not empty seasons, because God still works where we cannot see. Pastor Daniel builds his message around three movements found in Psalm 40. First, patience proves whether God is truly your source or just your last resort — what you do while waiting reveals what you believe about God. Second, God's power begins where self-sufficiency ends, because David didn't climb out of the pit on his own; he was lifted out. Surrender isn't losing control — it's where freedom begins. Finally, your waiting becomes your witness, because what God brings you through, He will use to bring others out as well. Closing with his own testimony of drug addiction and God's faithfulness to restore him, Pastor Daniel invites the congregation to the altar, reminding them that God never wastes the process — He turns it into a platform for His glory.
