Week 11 - God's Promises - A Way Out of Temptation
Sin and temptation are something every person faces. From the Garden of Eden to our lives today, temptation shows up in many ways — social media, overindulgence, procrastination, gossip, and more. But when we call Jesus our Lord, we are invited to live under His Lordship and walk in holiness.
In this message, Pastor Robin looks at 1 Corinthians 10:13 and James 1:13–15 to remind us that temptation can lead to sin, but God always provides a way out. We’ll explore how to resist temptation by asking God for wisdom and applying it, staying connected through community, and practicing the power of prayer and fasting. Watch and be encouraged as you trust God’s promises and take steps to walk in holiness.

God's Promises – Week 10 – God Comforts
Suffering and grief are part of the human condition, but they’re not the end of the story. From the moment Adam and Eve disobeyed in the Garden of Eden, pain, shame, and death entered the world. Yet even then, God promised that sin, suffering, and sorrow would not have the final word.
In this week’s message, Pastor Angela shares how God’s comfort began in the garden, continued through His covenant with His people, and finds its fullness in Jesus—Immanuel, “God with us.” She unpacks how moments of loss, hardship, and even persecution can become places of deep encounter with God, where He brings healing, renews our perspective, and restores hope.
Isaiah 66:13 (NLT) – “I will comfort you there in Jerusalem as a mother comforts her child.”
If you’re walking through grief or pain, this message will encourage you to see God’s presence in the midst of it, trust His promises, and persevere with the assurance that He is working for your freedom and victory.

God's Promises - Week 9 - God Forgives Our Sins
This week in our God’s Promises series, Pastor Jon teaches on the promise that when we confess our sins, God will forgive us. Every human being is born into sin. The Bible says we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin isn’t just breaking a rule — it’s missing the mark and breaking God’s law, which reflects His character. When we break His law, we offend Him personally. But God offers undeserved mercy. As 1 John 1:9 tells us, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” All sin is serious, but God promises complete forgiveness and freedom through Jesus when we confess.

God's Promises – Week 6 – He Walks With Us
In this message, Pastor Lucas reminds us that Jesus doesn’t just go where the crowds are—He seeks out the one. While our minds often focus on what feels strategic or significant, Jesus shows us that His ways are higher, and His love is deeply personal. Through the story of the road to Emmaus, we see a beautiful picture of how Jesus walks with us—even when we don’t recognize Him. He comes close, reveals Himself in His timing, and invites us into a life aligned with His will and character. No matter where you are on the journey, take heart—He walks with us.

God's Promises - Week 4 - God Hears Us
In the Bible, we see a beautiful picture of an all-powerful God—and yet He is deeply personal. He hears every cry and every prayer that comes from His people. In this sermon, Pastor Lucas unpacks the truth of 1 John 5:14: “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” What does it mean that God hears us? And how should we respond when it feels like our prayers go unanswered? Pastor Lucas explores the tension many of us face—the joy of powerful answered prayer alongside the silence we sometimes experience. He reminds us that the promise that God hears us is not just for comfort but for transformation. As we surrender to His will, we begin to see that His will is all we need.
