Discipleship through Preaching
Listening to and discussing the Word of God being preached on a regular basis is an important rhythm of discipleship for people to engage with.

In this Resurrection Sunday message, we challenge the common "fire insurance" view of Christianity—the idea that Jesus died only to save us from hell or to give us a reward after we die. While eternity is a beautiful promise, Jesus’ primary message was about something much more immediate: The Kingdom of God is near.
Have you ever felt like "home" is a place where you are not? In this message, we explore the concept of home—not as a physical location, but as a place of rest, well-being, and total acceptance.
Is the Gospel primarily about keeping you out of trouble (Preventative) or rescuing you from it (Redemptive)? While both are true, many long-time believers slide toward a version of faith that is all about effort, rules, and "not messing up."
Have you ever felt like you should be a "better Christian" by now? After decades of following Jesus, many of us still feel a gap between where we are and where we thought we’d be. In this message, we look at the famous story of Jesus walking on the water (Matthew 14) to discover a liberating truth: God isn't looking for "Super Disciples"—He’s looking for a human-sized you.
"Jesus died so I don’t have to be perfect anymore."
If you're caught in the cycle of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the need to control every outcome, you are carrying a weight you weren't meant to hold. This sermon dives into Genesis 3 to show how the enemy uses "false needs" to fuel our anxiety. Discover how to bridge the gap between what you know about God and what you actually experience with Him.
Do you ever feel a gap between what you believe in your head and what you experience in your heart? In this message, we explore "The Expectation Gap"—specifically the painful space between knowing that God loves us and actually feeling that love in our daily lives. Often, this gap is filled by "competing gospels"—narratives of anxiety, shame, and the relentless voice of the Inner Critic.
In this message, we explore Paul’s "Doomsday Clock" in Romans 13. Just as scientists track the urgency of global crises, Paul reminds the church that the "night is nearly over" and the "day is almost here." But what does it look like to live in that light?
In 2026, How should a follower of Jesus navigate the political tension with governing authority in our modern world?
In this message, we explore the complex relationship between faith and governing authority. From the "Pax Romana" to the fiery furnace of Daniel, we look at how biblical figures respected authority without compromising their ultimate allegiance to God.
How should a Christian respond to authority they don't agree with?
The Apostle Paul’s instructions in Romans 13:1–7 are some of the most debated verses in the Bible.
This week, we break down the context of Paul’s writing, the historical reality of Nero’s Rome, and the "long arc" of God’s sovereignty.
Does it matter when a person's actions don't line up with their words? In this sermon, we explore what it truly means to live a life "set apart."
Drawing from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans, we look at the practical "method" of following Jesus—not through rigid rules, but through a heart transformed by the Holy Spirit.
Why do some ministries thrive while others stall? Pastor Gary shares candid lessons learned from church planting on Guam, revealing how "good ideas" can fail when they aren't built on humility and a proper understanding of spiritual gifts.
Is your faith on autopilot?
In this message, we dive deep into one of the most transformative passages in the Bible: Romans 12:1-2.
Apostle Paul shifts from theology to application, urging us to move beyond "checking the boxes" of religion and into a life of intentional worship.
Are you tired of trying to check all the boxes to be "right" with God? In this message, we dive into Romans 10 to explore how Jesus changed everything. We often try to earn our way into heaven by doing good things, but the Gospel tells a different story. It’s not about our efforts; it’s about a relationship with the Almighty God who conquered the grave.
