Philemon 17-25

2 February 2026

In Philemon 17–25 we see the true power of Christian fellowship—gospel-shaped relationships marked by sacrifice, forgiveness, joy, prayer, and unity. Paul’s appeal to Philemon unveils how deeply believers are called to support one another, bear each other’s burdens, and trust the Lord to work through us for the good of His church. This sermon unpacks four imperatives for genuine Christian fellowship: supporting one another without expecting anything in return, trusting that the Lord brings joy and rest through us, expecting God to accomplish far more than we can imagine through prayer, and serving together in unity for His glory. True fellowship is not coffee and conversation—it is mutual participation in the very life of Christ.

Philemon 8-16

25 January 2026

In Philemon 8–16 we see the Apostle Paul make an appeal grounded not in authority, but in love—rooted in the transforming power of Christ. This passage shows how God’s love changes the way we relate to one another, enabling forgiveness, humility, and reconciliation that human effort alone could never produce. True Christian love flows from the gospel and leads us to embrace one another as beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord.

Philemon 1-7

18 January 2026

In this rich and pastoral sermon from Philemon 1:1–7, we explore how genuine Christian virtues are formed—not through self-improvement, discipline alone, or human strength, but through the powerful working of God in and among His people. Paul’s letter to Philemon reveals a church marked by unity in the Spirit, love that grows from gratitude, fellowship that matures believers, and joy that overflows from the wellspring of God’s love. This message calls us to rest in God’s transforming grace, lean into the community of saints, and allow the gospel to shape every part of our lives.

Matthew 14:24-33

11 January 2026

In Matthew 14:24–32 we meet a Savior who steps into the storm, calms our fears, calls us out of the boat, and rescues us when we sink. This sermon unpacks the universal reality of carnal fear, the supernatural courage that comes from Christ’s presence, the inevitability of our faltering faith, and the glory God receives as He lifts His people up. The message is simple yet life-changing: get your eyes off the waves, and fix them on Christ.

Do your relationships reflect the heart of the gospel?

Titus 2:1–10

23 November 2025

Thanksgiving is just days away, and with it comes the beauty of gathering, gratitude, and the simple joy of a well-prepared meal. Just as garnish elevates a plain dish into something striking, the gospel is a precious jewel meant to shine through the lives of believers. Paul urges the church in Crete — and us today — to show the beauty of Christ not only in what we believe, but in how we live. When conviction and character come together, the gospel becomes unmistakably visible to the watching world.

Titus 1:10-16

16 November 2025

Buyer beware. You know the phrase — it’s the used car salesman presenting the perfect-looking car that hides deeper problems. In the same way, false teachers don’t walk into the church announcing themselves. They come subtly, looking polished, sounding kind, even appearing loving. But over time, the cracks show. Believer, beware. Before you read their statement of faith, read their statement of life.

As Paul neared the end of his life, he reflected on faithful endurance, the people who shaped his journey, and the glory of God that sustained him. His farewell reminds us that our lives, too, are meant to be poured out for Christ—steadfast, hopeful, and anchored in the promise of His presence.

2 Timothy 3:10-17

2 Timothy 3:1-9

21 September 2025

Benjamin Franklin famously said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” In other words, the most successful people are those who have clear goals and a well-defined strategy. Without a plan, you’re simply wandering through the wilderness, hoping that one day—just maybe—you’ll reach your destination. It simply won’t happen.
