In this sermon, Pastor Jeff Lister explores what it means to truly impact the world for God as a “Kingdom Builder.”

Drawing from Isaiah 6:1-8, Romans 10:13-15, and 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 (ESV), he outlines three essential qualities: a willing heart, a committed heart, and a generous heart.

Using biblical examples and modern missionary stories, Pastor Jeff challenges listeners to make themselves available for God’s mission—whether through serving, sharing the gospel, or supporting missions financially.

He reminds us that God’s Kingdom advances when ordinary people say yes to His call, and our collective sacrifices can echo into eternity, spreading hope both locally and globally.

This Sunday message, Pastor Jeff begins our Kingdom Builders vision series with part one from Matthew 6:19-24. Jesus warns us that whatever we treasure shapes our hearts, and He challenges us to invest in “treasures in heaven” rather than earthly possessions that fade.

Through real-life stories, biblical context, and practical teaching,We unpack why following Jesus with our finances, focus, and devotion is the only way to true security and eternal impact.

Listen in as we explore what it means to serve God, not money, and prepare our hearts for next week’s celebration of missions and reaching our world for Christ.

Pastor Jeff continues our series on prayer and fasting, exploring Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:16-18 (ESV) about the heart and purpose of fasting.

This message, "When You Fast," emphasizes that fasting isn’t optional for believers—it's essential for spiritual growth, but it must be done authentically, seeking God’s reward rather than recognition from others.

Drawing from biblical examples like Moses, David, and Esther, this message shows how fasting is used for revelation, repentance, and deliverance.

Be encouraged to practice fasting in secret, check your motives, and pursue God’s purpose for your life.

This weekend we dove into the importance of authentic, heartfelt prayer based on Matthew 6:5-14.

We believe prayer isn’t just a ritual, but a daily conversation with our Heavenly Father that transforms our lives and deepens our faith. The Lord’s Prayer guides us to seek God’s will, ask for our daily needs, pursue forgiveness, and trust His guidance.

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, you’re invited to join us in discovering the power of prayer and living out God’s purpose together.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been anchored in Isaiah 9:6, and today we focus on Jesus as our Everlasting Father—a promise spoken into a time of fear and uncertainty, pointing to a King who would protect, provide, and care for His people forever.

Unlike broken earthly leaders or even broken family relationships, Jesus shows us the compassion of a perfect Father, invites us to come to Him for rest, and adopts us into God’s family with unchanging love.

Isaiah 9:6 reveals Jesus as Mighty God, a title that points to His unmatched power and authority.

In Matthew 14, we see this might on display as Jesus walks on water and steps into the storm to be near His disciples, showing that His power is not distant but personal. Peter’s faith reminds us that we are not meant to face storms in our own strength, but to move at Jesus’ command and trust His power to sustain us.

Like God’s deliverance at the Red Sea, our stillness makes room for His greatness—because the Lord Himself fights for us.

As we begin our Christmas series, “Who is This?”, we’re exploring the question that everyone must answer: Who is Jesus, and why does it matter? Like the days before Caller ID, when you’d nervously answer the phone and wonder, “Who is this?”, we all have to answer that about Jesus. Isaiah 9:6–7 (ESV) gives Jesus four unique titles—Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

These names are not just poetic descriptions; they reveal who Jesus is and what we can experience through Him. Everyone is searching for help, advice, and meaning—something or someone to guide us through life’s darkness and uncertainties. Isaiah warns that looking anywhere but God will lead us only to more distress and emptiness (Isaiah 8:21–22 ESV). But Jesus breaks into our darkness as the promised light (Isaiah 9:1 ESV).

He is the Wonderful Counselor who gives soul-deep healing and guidance, as when He forgave and healed the paralytic (Mark 2:5, 11 ESV). Jesus challenges our misplaced trust, as He did with the rich young ruler (Mark 10:21 ESV), offers real comfort in grief (John 11:25, 35 ESV), and brings clarity in confusion, as on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:15–32 ESV).

This season, the invitation is simple: draw close to the Wonderful Counselor. He is ready to guide, heal, and walk with all who seek Him—not just at Christmas, but every day.

The message focuses on Matthew 5:33–37 and Jesus’ teaching about oaths within the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew, writing to a largely Jewish-Christian audience, emphasizes Jesus as King and the character of His advancing kingdom.

In this section, Jesus challenges the traditional practice of swearing oaths to prove one’s honesty, teaching instead that kingdom people should be so truthful that oaths become unnecessary. He warns against swearing by heaven, earth, Jerusalem, or one’s own head because all belong to God, not to us.

Ultimately, Jesus calls His followers to integrity—letting their simple “yes” or “no” be enough—reflecting a transformed character rooted in God’s authority, holiness, and grace.
