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.

Letting God Write Your Story / Raise Your Game / Week 4

Ever wondered what it would be like to let God take the wheel and write more of your life's story? If we're honest, many of us feel more comfortable being the authors of our own lives and it can be daunting to feel like we are giving up control of our own lives. But what if you knew for a fact that God had something better planned? Something you'd miss if you never took the risk? In this sermon, we are talking about what a life written by God can look like, why the risk is worth it, and how you can make your first move to hand the pen over to God.

Are you struggling to share your faith with others? Do you feel unsure of how to start a conversation about Jesus? Maybe you feel that your faith is still too small to talk with anyone else about it.

In this sermon, we'll explore how our confidence in God equips us to live like Jesus and tell others about him. Ultimately, we'll see that sharing our faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting in God's power and love enough to obey and allow Him to transform hearts and lives.

What To Do When You're Doubting / Disillusioned / Week 2

In this sermon, we talk about why seasons of doubt are not something to be discouraged by and we give 3 practical things you can do as you process through your doubts and questions.

The Solution To Our Broken World / How Did We Get Here? / Week 4

We all long for life to be good. To have days where everything goes right, we feel refreshed and filled, and are able to put aside the troubles and brokenness of our world. We can all agree that our world is broken but it's harder for us to admit that we contribute towards that broken world too. But what hope do we have that things will get better in our world? What about in our own lives? In this sermon, we see the answers the Bible gives for why we're all broken, how that affects our spiritual lives, and how Easter shows us that God has a plan to fix our broken world and how He can restore your world as well.

It's Not Technically Wrong / How Did We Get Here? / Week 3

How far is too far? We see that question being played out everywhere in our world and often it can feel like a fine line between "right" and "wrong". But if it's not technically wrong and nobody got hurt does that mean it's right? The problem is that while it's easy to justify our actions as "technically not wrong" this mindset can lead us down a dangerous path. In this video, we see from the Bible how seemingly harmless actions can steer us away from God's plan for our lives, and how we can learn to make choices that help keep our lives on track.
