“You cannot serve God and money.” — Matthew 6:24We often treat money like it’s neutral — something we simply use. But in Matthew 6, Jesus shows it is always about our hearts. What we treasure shapes what we love and reveals the kingdom we’re living for. Jesus calls us to a life that is fully His. Because in the end, our use of money always reflects our true Master. This is a beautiful invitation:...

Guest preacher Matt Thomas (Lead Pastor of Pulse Church) helped us see that prayer is not just about us — it’s about God’s Kingdom moving forward.Through the Lord’s Prayer, we were reminded that God’s heart is for His Kingdom to advance in every part of life. In how we trust Him for provision (and not just for ourselves), in how we forgive others, and in how we depend on Him for strength and...

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” — Matthew 4:17Not the life we would choose… but the life Jesus calls blessed.As we begin our new series, Kingdom of Heaven, we’re confronted with a reality that turns everything upside down. The blessed life isn’t found in comfort, success, or control — but in surrender to the King and a life shaped by His rule.Through the Beatitudes (Matthew...

What begins with fearful people behind locked doors becomes a moment of peace, purpose, and power as Jesus comes near. He does not merely comfort them—He commissions them. The risen Christ brings peace through His finished work, sends His people into the world, empowers them by His Spirit, and entrusts them with the message of the gospel. This passage reminds us that Easter is not something to...

What begins in darkness and grief ends in recognition, joy, and mission.

The risen Jesus meets us in our sorrow, brings us into a new relationship with...

On Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the cross and hear Jesus’ final words: “It is finished” .This is not a cry of defeat, but a declaration of victory. In that moment, Jesus completed the work of our salvation—once and for all. Our standing before God is secured, not by our effort, but by His finished work.And yet, the cross does more than forgive us. It also transforms us. The same work that...

In John 17:13–19, we are invited to overhear Jesus’ final prayer before the cross—words that reveal what mattered most to Him as He prepared to give His life.While we often think of Easter as the forgiveness of sins, Jesus shows us that it is also about something more: the making of a holy people. He prays not that His followers would be removed from the world, but that they would be kept,...

In Romans 16:1–27, Paul brings his letter to a close with what may seem like a simple list of names—but it is far more than that. It is a beautiful picture of the gospel at work in real people, forming a diverse, loving, and united church family.This chapter shows us that the gospel does not just save individuals; it creates a people. A community marked by deep affection, shared identity in...

In Romans 15:14–33, Paul gives us a window into the heart that the gospel produces. His life had been captured by something far bigger than himself: God’s mission to make Christ known among the nations.Paul shows us a heart shaped by worship, humility, vision, and prayer. His ambition was to preach Christ where He had never been named—and he invites the church to share in that mission.This...

In Romans 15:1–13, Paul lifts our eyes from simply avoiding conflict to becoming the kind of church Jesus is building. Those who are strong are called to carry the weak, not please themselves—following the pattern of Christ, who willingly bore our reproach.This passage reminds us that unity in the church is not accidental or optional. It is rooted in the promises of God, shaped by the example of...
