In “Perfected Under Pressure,” we continue through 1 Thessalonians with a message about remaining faithful when following Jesus becomes difficult. First Thessalonians 3 reminds us that hardship does not mean God has abandoned us. God can use trials to deepen our faith, increase our love, strengthen our obedience, and establish our hearts in holiness. How should we respond when life puts our faith…
How should followers of Jesus measure success? Teaching from 1 Thessalonians 2, Pastor Alex explains why Kingdom success is not measured by comfort, recognition, or impressive results. It is measured by faithfulness to God and by helping others stand firm in Jesus. Through Paul’s relationship with the Thessalonian believers, we discover that discipleship requires spiritual family, hardship can…
In Week 1 of The King Is Coming, we begin our journey through 1 and 2 Thessalonians and explore how Christians should live while waiting for Jesus to return. Through 1 Thessalonians 1, we are reminded that we were never meant to follow Jesus alone. We are called to remain connected to the local church and live with faith that works, love that labors, and hope that endures. The gospel has the power…
In the final week of The Truth About Hell, we look at what the New Testament teaches about hell, judgment, and how followers of Jesus should respond. God has entrusted us with the message of reconciliation and called us to be ambassadors for Christ. Our lives should point others toward the hope, freedom, and new life found in Jesus. Hell is real, but Heaven is better. Let’s wake up, live boldly,…

In Week 3 of The Truth About Hell, we take a deeper look at Jesus’ own teachings about hell, judgment, repentance, and eternal life. Through Matthew 7:13–23, Jesus warns us about the wide road that leads to destruction, the narrow road that leads to life, false disciples, and those who call Him “Lord” without truly knowing Him. This message reminds us that spiritual activity, religious…
In Week 2 of The Truth About Hell, we ask the question: Has hell changed—or have we? This message examines what the Old Testament, Jesus, and the New Testament teach about hell, eternal judgment, and separation from God. We also explore the biblical meanings of Sheol, Hades, Gehenna, and the Lake of Fire, while addressing questions about purgatory and God’s justice. Hell is not simply a place of…
In this Summer Nights message, Pastor Josh shares how biblical community is about more than surrounding ourselves with people who look, think, or act like us—it is about becoming people who carry one another toward Jesus. Through the Tower of Babel, Pentecost, and Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 14, we learn that unity without surrender to God can lead us in the wrong direction. True spiritual…
