In Part 11 of our 1 Thessalonians series, Pastor LT focuses on a defining mark of genuine conversion: turning from idols to serve the living and true God.

Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 1:9–10 (ESV), this message reminds us that following Christ is not only about believing in God—but about leaving behind whatever competes for our heart. The Thessalonian church became known for their radical shift in allegiance, and their example still speaks powerfully today.

This sermon centers on three crucial reminders about idols:

• Idols Will Steal Our Blessings – They quietly rob us of the joy, peace, and fruit God intends for our lives.

• Idols Will Destroy Our Foundation – Anything we build our lives on apart from God will eventually fail.

• Idols Will Cloud Our Reality – Idols distort our perspective, causing us to misjudge what truly matters.

An idol is anything that takes the place God alone deserves—whether obvious or subtle, sinful or seemingly good. This message calls believers to honest reflection, wholehearted devotion, and renewed surrender.

Listen and be challenged to turn fully toward God, serve Him alone, and experience the freedom and stability that come from building your life on the living and true God.

In Part 10 of our 1 Thessalonians series, Pastor LT addresses a powerful and often difficult truth: God draws us closer to Himself through trials and tribulations.

This message explores how hardship, persecution, and seasons of trouble can become unexpected blessings when they deepen our trust in God. Drawing from Paul’s encouragement to the Thessalonian church, Pastor LT reminds us that faith is not proven in comfort, but refined in adversity.

You’ll be challenged to see trouble through a different lens—one that recognizes how God uses trials to strengthen our faith, purify our hearts, and anchor us more firmly in Him. Rather than pulling away from God in difficulty, this sermon calls us to lean in, trust His character, and discover the closeness that comes from depending fully on Him.

If you’re walking through a hard season or seeking to grow stronger in your faith, this message will encourage you to find God’s presence—and His blessing—even in the midst of trouble.

Listen and be reminded that when we trust God in trials, He uses them to draw us closer than ever before.

On Christmas Eve, we celebrate the arrival of the Light of the world.

In this special Christmas Eve message, “Christmas Light,” Pastor LT reflects on the hope, clarity, and life that Jesus brings into a dark and broken world. This sermon reminds us that Christmas is not just about a moment in history, but about a light that still shines—guiding, healing, and restoring hearts today.

Pastor LT invites listeners to consider where they need God’s light most: in uncertainty, weariness, fear, or longing. Through Scripture and reflection, this message points us to Jesus as the true Light who overcomes darkness and offers peace that lasts beyond the season.

Whether you are celebrating with joy or carrying quiet burdens this Christmas Eve, this message offers comfort, hope, and a renewed vision of God’s presence with us.

Listen and let the light of Christ shine anew in your heart this Christmas.

Christmas is filled with traditions, gifts, gatherings, and memories—but how do we truly get the most out of this sacred season?

In this special Christmas message, Pastor LT invites us to slow down and refocus on what makes Christmas meaningful beyond the noise and busyness. This sermon explores how the birth of Jesus invites us into deeper joy, peace, and spiritual renewal when we approach the season with intention and faith.

Pastor LT challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level celebration and rediscover the heart of Christmas—God’s presence with us. You’ll be encouraged to examine your expectations, priorities, and posture during the season, and to make room for Christ to work in your heart and home.

Whether Christmas feels joyful, heavy, or somewhere in between, this message offers practical wisdom and spiritual encouragement to help you experience Christmas as God intended.

Listen and be reminded that when Christ is at the center, Christmas becomes more than a holiday—it becomes a holy moment.

In Part 9 of our 1 Thessalonians series, we focus on Paul’s powerful words:
“You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake. And you became imitators of us and of the Lord.”(1 Thessalonians 1:5–6)

This message highlights the profound impact of godly example—how faith is not only taught through words, but modeled through lives lived with integrity, humility, and love. Paul reminds the Thessalonian believers that leadership in the Kingdom of God is demonstrated by character, sacrifice, and sincere care for others.

In this sermon, we explore:

• Why our lives preach louder than our words

• How spiritual leadership is proven through consistency and love

• The responsibility of living in a way that points others to Christ

• What it means to imitate faithful leaders while ultimately imitating the Lord

This message challenges every believer to consider the kind of example they are setting and encourages us to live authentically so others can follow us as we follow Christ.

Listen and be stirred to walk in a faith that can be seen, felt, and followed.

1 Thessalonians – Part 8: Walking in the Power of the Holy Spirit

In this week's message, Pastor LT continues our journey through 1 Thessalonians with a powerful focus on what it truly means to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Drawing from Paul’s words to a young, thriving church, this sermon unpacks how the Holy Spirit strengthens us, transforms us, and empowers us to live out the Christian life with courage and consistency. Pastor LT highlights that the same Spirit who moved in the early believers is the same Spirit who equips us today—giving us boldness, resilience, and supernatural endurance.

You’ll discover:

• What the Holy Spirit provides that we cannot produce on our own

• How to stay spiritually “primed” and connected to God’s power

• Why weakness is not a limitation, but an invitation to divine strength

• How obedience, prayer, and spiritual hunger position us to walk in God’s power daily

This message is both deeply practical and spiritually stirring, reminding us that the Christian life is not lived by human effort alone, but by the active, empowering presence of the Spirit.

Listen and be encouraged to walk in the fullness of God’s power in every area of your life.

In today’s message, Josh Woodward continues his powerful series, “Hunger for the Secret Place,” calling us to give God not just a portion of our devotion, but our whole heart.

Josh teaches that one of the most practical and transformational ways we offer God our whole heart is through prayer—the daily, intentional pursuit of His presence. Prayer is more than a habit; it is the pathway into deeper intimacy with the Father.

He also challenges us to confront and remove anything that competes for our affection. Josh defines an idol as “anything that takes up a piece of our heart,” reminding us that even good things can become distractions when they occupy the space God deserves.

Throughout the message, Josh walks us through key scriptures in the NLT, including:

• Proverbs 23:26 – “O my son, give me your heart…”

• John 6:28–29 – God’s call to believe and pursue Him above all else.

• Psalm 73:25 – “Whom have I in heaven but you?”

• Psalm 27:4 – The one thing David desired most.

• Psalm 84:1–2, 10 – A longing for the courts and presence of God.

• Luke 10:38 – Mary choosing the “one thing” that mattered.

• Romans 12:1 – Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice.

This message will stir you to examine your desires, reorder your priorities, and seek God with undivided passion.

Lean in and let God awaken a fresh hunger in you for the secret place

In today’s powerful sermon, Josh Woodward invites us into a deeper longing for the “secret place” with God—a place of intimacy, pursuit, and transformation.

Drawing from Jeremiah 29:13 — “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” — Josh unpacks what it truly means to seek God with a whole heart and to cultivate a hunger that pulls us closer to His presence.

This message challenges us to evaluate the distractions, desires, and pursuits that compete for our devotion and calls us to return to the quiet place where God reveals His heart.

Whether you’re new in your walk with Christ or longing to go deeper, this first installment lays the foundation for a lifestyle marked by pursuit, passion, and presence.

Tune in and let God stir a fresh hunger within you for the secret place.
