What do you do when giving—your time, money, or energy—feels more like losing than gaining?

In this message, When Giving Feels Like Losing, Pastor Alvin walks through a familiar tension many of us face: the fear that if we give too much, we won’t have enough left for ourselves.

Whether it’s generosity, obedience, or simply trusting God with what matters most, it’s easy to wonder if it’s really worth it. Out of Malachi 3, Pastor Alvin brings that question to the surface, and offers a surprising response of neither guilt nor pressure.

It’s about learning to see that God isn’t after things. He’s after our hearts. And when we trust Him, especially when it feels risky, we start to discover something deeper and more life-giving than we could ever expect and imagine.

If you’ve ever felt like giving might leave you empty, hit play. This one’s for you.

Ever feel like your life story was supposed to look and read better than it does?

You’re working hard, trying to move forward, doing what you can to get it right, but still, something feels off. Like you’re missing something, or like the best parts of your life story already passed you by.

That’s exactly where God’s people found themselves in the book of Haggai. They had returned from exile and were trying to rebuild, but nothing felt the same. They were tired, discouraged, and wondering if God was still with them, or if their best days were already behind them.

In this message, Pastor Alvin Brown walks us through Haggai 2 to show how God meets us right there, in the middle of our questions and disappointment, not with shame, but with a promise to use our story for His glory.

Whether you’re following Jesus or just trying to figure faith out, this message is a reminder that what you see right now isn’t the whole story. God is still working. He’s still building. And He’s still writing something beautiful, right in the middle of your life story.

Hit play, and let’s lean in together to remember that with God, the best isn’t behind you, it’s still ahead.

Ever felt like life just isn’t adding up?

You’ve been praying, trusting, or doing everything you know to do, but God still feels distant or silent. If that sounds familiar, you’re not the only one.

In this message, When God Doesn’t Make Sense, we look at the honest, unfiltered questions of a prophet named Habakkuk. He doesn’t pretend to have it all together. He wrestles with God and invites us to do the same. And guess what else? God doesn’t shut him or us down.

Through Habakkuk’s story, we’re reminded that it’s okay to bring our questions, our disappointments, and our doubts to God. He may not always give us the answers we’re looking for, but He does give us Himself, the answer we need most.

So if you’re feeling confused, worn out, or just wondering where God is in the mess of it all, this one’s for you.

Hit play, and let’s walk through it together.
