  • Who Is Jesus?: Lessons From My Thorn (Devan Bumstead) E03
    Apr 26 2026

    In this deeply personal and vulnerable message, Pastor Devan shares his 6-year journey of living with a Huntington's Disease diagnosis—the same degenerative neurological condition that took his father. From bitter estrangement, to depression and suicidal thoughts, to finally facing his biggest fear head-on, he reveals how God has transformed his greatest weakness into profound strength. Through raw honesty about his darkest moments and the power of confession, he explores what the Apostle Paul meant when he said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." This sermon offers hope for anyone wrestling with fear, suffering, or the question: "What if my biggest fear comes true?" A powerful testimony of how God brings Kingdom clarity through suffering, uses our wounds to give us purpose, and speaks truth over the lies Satan attaches to our thorns.

    Matthew 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

  • Who Is Jesus?: The Good Life Pt 1 (Ken LaMont) E02
    Apr 19 2026

    In this message on Matthew 5:3-6, we explore Jesus's radical teaching on true happiness and "the good life." Just as Yale's most popular class ever tried to address student anxiety by teaching happiness, Jesus offers something far deeper in the Beatitudes—a complete inversion of worldly assumptions about blessing and success. Discover why Jesus says the truly fortunate aren't the wealthy, powerful, or comfortable, but the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, and those who hunger for righteousness. This sermon challenges us to examine where we've leaned our ladder against the wrong wall and invites us into the upside-down values of God's Kingdom, where weakness becomes strength and dependence on God brings true blessing.

  • Who Is Jesus?: What Is The Kingdom? (Ken LaMont) E01
    Apr 12 2026

    In this introduction to a new series on the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus' revolutionary "Kingdom Manifesto"—a blueprint for what it looks like when God's rule and reign are lived out in our daily lives. With just 107 verses, this sermon has influenced history more than any other teaching, challenging figures from Gandhi to Tolstoy. But as John Stott noted, it remains "the most well known, the least understood, and the least obeyed" of all Jesus' teachings.

    This message sets the stage for understanding that the Sermon on the Mount isn't how we achieve salvation—it's how we demonstrate it. Jesus calls us to a monumental paradigm shift from the world's definition of success to life under His Kingdom rule. Over this series, we'll move beyond merely hearing Jesus' words to actively putting them into practice, discovering what it means to live as citizens of God's Kingdom here and now.

  • Easter: Power of the Resurrection (Ken LaMont)
    Apr 5 2026

    This Easter message celebrates the transformative power of Christ's resurrection and what it means for our lives today. Through the illustration of Wellington's victory at Waterloo and the discovery of the empty tomb, this sermon explores how Jesus defeated death, sin, and shame. Just as the people of London's mourning turned to joy when they saw the full message—"Wellington Defeated Napoleon"—our despair turns to hope when we understand that "Jesus Christ Defeated Death."

    Discover how the resurrection changes everything by: forgiving your past, empowering your present through the same Spirit that raised Jesus, and securing your future with eternal hope. If the tomb is empty, everything is going to be alright.

  • Palm Sunday (Juan Palomino)
    Mar 29 2026

    On Palm Sunday, crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem expecting a political revolutionary who would overthrow Rome. Instead, Jesus came as a spiritual savior riding humbly on a donkey toward the cross. This message explores the powerful symbols of Palm Sunday—the donkey, palm branches, and the cry "Hosanna"—revealing how Jesus had something far greater in mind than temporary rescue from oppression. He came to offer eternal salvation from sin and death. Pastor Juan challenges us to adopt Christ's mindset of humility, obedience, sacrifice, and love, calling every believer to be His ambassador by inviting others to experience the life-changing message of Easter.

  • Generosity: Serve Generously (Ken LaMont) E6
    Mar 15 2026

    Three weeks before Easter, Jesus tells His disciples He's going to be crucified and raised to life. But instead of grasping the gravity of His words, James and John's mother asks Jesus to give her sons the best seats in His kingdom. Jesus uses this moment to flip the world's power structure upside down, teaching that true greatness isn't found in positioning ourselves above others, but in serving them. Drawing from Matthew 20:17-28, this message challenges us to ask one transformative question in every interaction: "How can I serve?" Discover how the early church turned the world upside down through radical service—and how we can do it again today.

    Mar 8 2026

    In this final message of the Generosity series, we explore 1 Timothy 6:17-19 and discover that true generosity isn't about what's in your pocket, but what's in your heart. Learn practical "do's and don'ts" for managing finances as followers of Christ—from avoiding the comparison trap and living within your means, to creating a generosity fund and partnering with God's mission. Through powerful stories like Albert Lexie's $200,000 gift from shining shoes and the widow's two coins, this message challenges us to remember: God didn't put us here to make a living, but to make a difference. Discover how to take your next step in the journey of biblical generosity.

  • Generosity: How To Live Generously Pt 1 (Ken LaMont) E5
    Mar 2 2026

    In week 5 of our Generosity series, we explore the practical side of biblical giving. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9, this message addresses the who, when, where, and what of generosity. Learn why giving is a heart issue before it's a financial one, discover the biblical principle of first fruits and tithing, and understand where your giving should go—your church, kingdom expansion, and the poor. Whether you're new to giving or have been tithing for years, this sermon challenges everyone to take the next step in their journey of generosity, trusting that God will provide as we honor Him with our resources.
