What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? In this sermon on Matthew 28:18–20, Pastor Adam reminds us that in this house, we are disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus. Every believer has a next step—whether it’s exploring faith, deepening foundations, leading others, or even stepping into ministry. Discover what it means to obey Jesus’ final command and how God’s promise of his presence empowers us to go.

What does it mean to live ready? And why is it worth it? In Luke 12:35–40, Jesus calls his disciples to be dressed for action, keep their lamps burning, and their hearts awake. In this sermon, we learn to identify and fight the enemies of readiness, and to lean into the Spirit’s power as we prepare for Christ’s return and for the revivals he brings along the way.

In Isaiah 6, we see the prophet undone by God’s holiness, cleansed by God’s grace, and compelled to respond to God’s mission. Christians are not just saved—we are sent. In this sermon, discover how encountering God’s presence moves us from hesitation and fear to boldness and obedience.

Saul's dramatic transformation from persecutor to preacher illustrates the power of encountering Jesus. The discussion dives deep into modern struggles with self-identity and the societal pressures that shape it, especially among the youth. By redefining identity through Christ, individuals can break free from flawed self-perceptions and embrace grace. Personal stories highlight how prayer catalyzes this transformation, leading to a deeper understanding of true worth and purpose. Ultimately, embracing a new identity in Jesus opens the door to healing and fulfillment.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done. In this sermon, we explore the dangerous but transformative prayer: Lead me. We unpack what it means to truly let go of control and allow God to shape our lives around his holiness, his kingdom, and his will.

What does it mean to pray, “Break me”? When we pray “Break me,” we’re not asking to be destroyed—we’re asking to be released. Released from our past, from false identities, from misplaced security. Because the truth is: your most meaningful ministry will often rise from your deepest breaking. And in the hands of Jesus, nothing surrendered is wasted.

Explore the profound impact of vulnerable prayers with a focus on 'Search me, O God.' Discover how honesty before God can lead to liberation from guilt and shame. Personal anecdotes illustrate the importance of confronting spiritual shortcomings for genuine growth. The discussion emphasizes seeking divine guidance and transparency to foster spiritual maturity. Ultimately, embracing these powerful prayers opens the door to transformation and deeper faith.

In Acts 8, we see a powerful moment where God weaves two stories together—Philip’s obedience and the Ethiopian official’s search for truth. In this sermon, we’re reminded to love people and trust God with the story he’s writing. Even when things are hard or unclear, we can obey with confidence, knowing that the author of the big story is the same one guiding our little ones, and his ending is always redemption.

Before Isaiah could be sent, he had to be undone. Isaiah’s story shows us that we’re not ready for the mission of God until we’ve come face-to-face with the holiness of God and surrendered everything. We see how encountering God’s holiness leads to confession, healing, and ultimately, calling. It’s grace that sends us. And it’s grace that sustains us.

In 1 Kings 19, Elijah hits rock bottom. But even there, God meets him with healing, community, and a renewed calling. In this sermon, we explore how Elijah’s story reminds us that we were made for more than just survival—we were made for God’s mission. Through suffering, healing, relationships, and renewed calling, God draws us back to his purpose. Just like Elijah, we’re reminded that our lives matter, not just for today, but for the next generation.
