The key lesson of the sermon “Make Room” is that growth begins with faith before it’s visible. God calls us to enlarge our vision, strengthen our foundation, and make room for what He’s about to do—not after we see it, but in anticipation of His promise. Just as Isaiah urged God’s people to stretch their tents before the blessing arrived, we too must prepare our hearts, minds, and church for expansion.

The takeaway is this: when we make room for God—through faith, obedience, and surrender—He fills that space with His presence, provision, and purpose. Every stretch, every act of faith, is an invitation for Christ to dwell more fully in us and through us.

Reference verse: Isaiah 54

Psalm 23 reveals a Shepherd who calls His people into a gathering and protects them as the gate. The Lord provides rest, renewal, and direction, and in community—through prayer, Scripture, and shared life—His care moves from concept to experience. In life’s valleys, fear is replaced by the Shepherd’s presence, whose rod and staff represent protection and loving correction often expressed through people who notice, pray, and draw us back. The Shepherd also sets a table of welcome and anoints with oil, assuring goodness and mercy until we dwell with Him forever. Jesus fulfills this psalm as the Good Shepherd and the Gate, laying down His life so we can enter His flock. Rows inspire, but circles transform, calling us to step into community and be known.

Reference Verse : Psalm 23

This message explores God’s will for my life through the lens of serving others with eternity in view. We are reminded that salvation is by grace through faith, yet our acts of service carry eternal weight. First, serving impacts my eternal reward—every act of love and service is remembered by God and invests in eternal treasure (Hebrews 6:10; Matthew 25:21). Second, serving impacts the eternal destiny of others—our generosity and small acts of service can open doors for salvation, just as an usher once impacted Billy Graham’s eternity. Finally, serving impacts my alignment with God’s eternal will—when I offer myself as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1–2; Colossians 3:23–24), I step into God’s purpose rather than turn back too soon. True blessing is found in surrender: not “God’s will for my life,” but my life for God’s will!

Reference Verse: Hebrews 6:10

This sermon centers on the Holy Spirit, who inspires joy within us.

Reference verses : Nehemiah 12:40-43

The sermon centers on the Holy Spirit as our spiritual EMT — Empowering, Molding, and Testifying through our lives. First, He Empowers us (Romans 8:11; Acts 1:8) with God’s miracle-working power, enabling us to overcome weakness, fear, and uncertainty. Second, He Molds us, like a baker mixing ingredients, shaping our character with the Fruit of the Spirit so Christ’s light can shine through us. This process blends every quality into the sweet aroma of His presence. Finally, He enables us to Testify (Revelation 12:11) — not only with words but through transformed living that reflects the aroma of Christ to the world. The Spirit equips us daily, shapes us continually, and turns our lives into a witness that exalts Jesus everywhere we go.

Reference Verse : Galatians 5:22-23

This sermon explores how the Holy Spirit empowers believers through Calling, Authority, and Assignment—the CAA of a Spirit-driven life. Drawing from Acts and the story of Gideon, Pastor Selvin Cortez teaches that every believer is called—first to salvation, then to a unique purpose, and finally to daily obedience. We are given authority by the Holy Spirit — not through merit, but through submission. This authority is tested and proven under pressure, just as Gideon’s was. Finally, our assignment is to glorify God through Spirit-led obedience. Like jars of clay, we are vessels holding the fire of the Spirit (the torch) and called to lift our voices (the trumpet) in boldness. The message concludes with a challenge: it’s not about how much of the Holy Spirit you have, but how much of you the Holy Spirit has.

This sermon explores where true boldness originates—not from personality or training, but from the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Acts 4:13, it shows how Peter, once fearful, became a bold witness after being filled with the Spirit. The first point emphasizes that Boldness Rises from the Ashes of Failure—Peter’s denial was transformed into Spirit-empowered proclamation. Second, Boldness Flows from Being with Jesus—proximity to Christ, not pedigree, ignites power. Like Moses’ radiant face, believers glow with the Spirit's presence. Third, Boldness Multiplies in Spirit-Filled Unity—boldness isn't solitary; it grows in surrendered community, as seen when the early church prayed and the ground shook. The message calls us to live in Spirit-empowered obedience that impacts our world. The week concludes with daily challenges to reflect, repent, reconnect, rehearse, and reach—preparing hearts to Speak Boldly in everyday life.

This Father’s Day message draws from Luke 15 and focuses on the extravagant, grace-filled love of the Father toward the prodigal son. The sermon begins with the son who ran away—rebellious and broken, ending up in shame and poverty. Yet the heart of the Father never changed. The turning point is that the Father ran—a culturally shocking act—for the sake of love, covering his son's shame before the community could reject him. This is tied to the ancient Jewish tradition of Kezazah, where a son who lost his inheritance among Gentiles would be publicly cut off. The Father’s embrace interrupts that rejection. The sermon concludes by revealing that Jesus is the third Son—He took our Kezazah on the cross. God is still running toward the broken today, not with fists but with open arms, inviting us to return home and receive grace.
