When Jesus transforms you, bold Christian witnessing becomes your mission. In Acts 9, we see one of the most powerful moments in Scripture: Paul’s conversion. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Saul encounters Jesus, and his life is forever changed. This Acts 9 sermon unpacks how Paul goes from silencing believers to sharing the gospel with boldness in the very synagogues where he once brought fear. This message challenges us to live out our own “before and after” stories, care deeply for the spiritual fate of others, and step out in fearless faith. Just as Paul’s transformation ignited a movement, your witness can spark change in the lives around you.

Is it possible for a nation’s heartbreak to become the birthplace of hope? In this powerful sermon from Jeremiah 7, Pastor Matt delivers a timely message that speaks to both personal and national pain. Through the lens of the prophet Jeremiah’s grief, we’re invited to wrestle with a sobering reality: it’s possible to desire God’s blessing while ignoring His call to justice, love, and care for the vulnerable. As America grapples with deep division and broken systems, this message challenges us to see heartbreak not as the end—but as the place where healing begins. When our hearts break, they open. And in that open space, God moves. You’ll be encouraged to bring your grief, questions, and weariness to Jesus, the one who still heals, still restores, and still calls His people to be a light in the darkness. If you're longing for hope in the middle of pain, this sermon is for you.
