Sermons

Sometimes God delivers you from the storm, but sometimes God sustains you through it. Practice resting in God, not in circumstances. Peace does not come from perfect conditions. Peace comes from trusting a perfect Savior.

Psalm 3 is David’s journal entry from one of the darkest moments of his life—running barefoot from Jerusalem as his own son Absalom leads a coup against him. The psalm is raw, emotional, and brutally honest. Yet woven through the distress are three holy interruptions: Selah.

Ephesians 2:8-10

If God is sovereign, & if God is good, why does one of the most faithful men in all of Scripture die this way? Why is John’s story not a story of rescue & vindication? John gives us a kingdom perspective that refuses to measure God’s faithfulness by the length of our ministry, & insists that the world may silence God’s servants, but it cannot stop God’s kingdom.

When God’s ways confuse us, the answer isn’t to demand our way. It’s to look at what He is actually doing. He is always working, it may just be different than we think.

Real repentance, John insists, is ethical & relational—not merely emotional & ceremonial. The fruit tells the truth that the feeling often conceals.

Why? Habakkuk 1:2-5

The devil doesn’t need bars, porn shops, neon signs, or pentagrams. He just needs moralism without Christ; religion without repentance; churches without the gospel; spirituality without Scripture; & inspiration without salvation.

The devil knows your weaknesses. He knows your insecurities. He knows your patterns. He knows your pressure points. And he will use whatever those are to: steal your hope, kill your worship, & destroy your witness.
