How much money do you actually want to have? It's a strange question, but it cuts right to the heart of what we treasure, fear, and hope in. In this message from 1 Corinthians 15:54–16:3, Abel talks about Paul's teachings on the resurrection and on financial giving. If we know we've been given everything in Christ, it changes how we hold what we have here on earth. 1 Corinthians 15:54-16:3

In this message on Jacob’s midnight encounter in Genesis 32, Kenneth, YuShen, and Sarah explore what it means to stay engaged with God through our doubts, pain, and life struggles.

Genesis 32:22-32
Dan unpacks how living an unshakeable life is less about strength, and more about surrender. This sermon takes a journey through Psalm 23, and how it mirrors the lives we live. Psalm 23
In Matthew 13:44–46, Jesus tells two short parables about a hidden treasure and a priceless pearl.

In this talk, Hannah Steele explores what we truly value and whether we've discovered the treasure that transforms…

Did you know, our Bible is filled with dreams of the future – entire books are written about visions that God gives His people. By one count, about 27% of the Bible is predictive – which means more than 1 in 4 verses in the Bible is prophetic and visionary. Dreams are like snapshots of the future we have in our minds – our hopes for what could be. But what happens when those dreams don’t happen,…

In this Father's Day message on Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Alvin addresses a deep anxiety shared by many: that the next generation will abandon their faith. Discover how passing on our faith starts with us, and flows out through a slow, daily carving of love in our most ordinary rhythms. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
What if the rest Jesus offers isn’t an escape from work, stress, or responsibility? True rest is not found in checking out of life, but in being freed from the striving that weighs down our souls. Jesus doesn’t offer a yoke-less life - he offers his yoke: one that is easy, well-fitted, and carried alongside him. When we stop striving to prove ourselves and start walking with Jesus, we find the…

What does God think of mothers — and what do mothers reveal about God? This Mother's Day, we open Luke 1 and sit with two remarkable women: Mary and Elizabeth. One young, one old. Both overlooked by the world. Both chosen by God. Their story gives us three things mothers do that the whole church needs.
Easter is behind us. Pentecost is on the horizon. In between , we find Jesus on a beach asking the disciple who denied him three times, three simple words “Do you love me?” This week, we dive into John 21 to explore how the love of Christ restores us, calls us and empowers to persevere by his Spirit for everything that comes next. John 21:15-19
What is the purpose of the Bible in light of the reality of Easter?How do the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ guide our encounters with him in the Gospel of Mark?

On Vision Sunday 2026, we look beyond changing forms to the ancient practices that shape our future.

The future is built through unseen devotion, one faithful year at a time. Acts 2:40-47

Our habits, trust, humility, and daily practices quietly shape our…

Isaiah 40:1–11

Legacy is like planting seeds in a garden we will never get to see bloom but the good news is we get to plant seeds today that will grow and flourish long after we’re gone.
