What Loving Your Neighbor Means / Like A Good Neighbor / Week 1

When we hear the phrase "love your neighbor" we often think of treating others with kindness, compassion, and respect. To be a good human is to "love your neighbor". But what if that's not what Jesus meant? What if it's not a metaphor, but a command to love your actual neighbor? In this sermon, we see from the Bible what it means to love your neighbor, who your neighbor actually is, and what steps you can take to start doing so.

How Difficulties Expose Your True Self / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 3

When facing adversity, tough circumstances, and difficult people, we tend to react...well, poorly. After all, we were wronged! It wasn't our fault! We deserve better! But our reactions act like a mirror that reflects what's in our hearts, and exposes our hidden thoughts and character. And at times, when what's in our hearts comes out through our words and actions, it can even surprise us! So what do we do about it? In this sermon, we discover that we have a choice in how we respond in these situations and learn from the Bible how to allow God to grow and transform us into the people He wants us to be through these times.

When Life Gets Tough / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 2

We've all experienced those moments when it feels like everything in our lives is falling apart. We long for comfort, security, and immediate solutions. We want God to fix our problems and make everything better. And when it doesn't happen, doubts and questions start to surface. But these are the moments where our faith is tested. In this sermon, we will see that God is not distant in hard times and that when we trust God in the midst of hardship, something incredible happens. God uses those hard times to shape us, to grow us, and to strengthen our faith.

When God Doesn't Make It Better / A Tale Of 3 Kings / Week 1

Many people are initially drawn to faith with the expectation that following Jesus will lead to an easier and more carefree life. But is that really true? Does being a Christian increase your chances for more blessings and prosperity? If so, you might be asking "why are there still so many struggles in my life?" In this sermon, we talk about the realities of living with faith, and highlight how God sees hardships and struggles differently than we do.
