The world has a problem—and Jesus named it clearly.
Humanity is lost and weary, like sheep without a shepherd.

In this message, “The Great Problem of the Church: Understanding Your Place to Take Your Place,” we look at Jesus’ words in Matthew 9 and confront both the condition of the world and the responsibility of the Church.

The harvest is ready—but the workers are few. The issue isn’t the field. It’s whether the Church is willing to step in, wake up, and take responsibility for the work God has entrusted to us.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

• Why minimizing the problem leads to ignoring the solution

• The reality of a weary, lost world

• Why the Church often misunderstands its role

• What keeps believers from serving and stepping up

• How Jesus calls us to be part of the solution

Jesus didn’t just tell us to pray for workers—He called us to become them.

If you call this church home, this message will challenge you to stop spectating and start participating—because the more God moves among us, the greater the harvest He entrusts to us.

Growth is a gift—but it’s rarely comfortable.

God often uses seasons of divine discomfort to stretch us, mature us, and move us forward. What feels inconvenient, costly, or even frustrating is often evidence that He is doing something deeper than we can see.

In this message, “Divine Discomfort: Growth Brings Beautiful Challenges,” we explore how spiritual growth doesn’t happen accidentally—and it doesn’t come without tension. When God brings increase, it forces us to confront what needs to change.

Through Scripture, we see that growth:

• Comes from God alone—not effort, talent, or position
• Exposes whether our hearts respond with complaints or conviction
• Requires maturity, responsibility, and the willingness to let go of childish ways

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 3, Acts 6, and 1 Corinthians 13, this sermon highlights how the early Church navigated rapid growth—not by avoiding problems, but by addressing them with wisdom, prayer, and obedience. What could have divided them instead multiplied their impact.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

• Why God is the true source of all growth
• How growth can reveal what’s really in our hearts
• The difference between reacting in frustration and responding with faith
• Why maturity always costs something—but leads to something better

If you’re in a season where things feel stretched, uncomfortable, or demanding more of you than before, this message may help you see it differently.

Because divine discomfort isn’t meant to harm you—

It’s often the evidence that God is growing you.

We live in a world that demands proof, clarity, and control.

But Scripture tells us there is another way to live—a better way.

In this message, “Walking By Faith // How To Please The Lord,” we explore what it truly means to walk by faith and why faith—not answers—is what God uses most to develop our lives.

Rooted in 2 Corinthians 5, this sermon reminds us that while our earthly lives may feel temporary, uncertain, and even burdensome at times, God has prepared something eternal—and He has given us His Spirit as a guarantee. Faith allows us to live confidently now, even when we can’t see what’s next.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

1. What biblical faith really is—and what it is not

2. Why faith is more than belief; it’s a way of seeing and living

3. How faith is anchored in the person, promises, and work of Jesus

4. The difference between walking by sight and walking by faith

5. Why faith is not passive, emotional, or blind optimism

6. How God grows and reveals our faith through His Word and through trials

With passages from 2 Corinthians 5, Hebrews 11, Romans 10, James 1, 1 Peter 1, Jude 3, and more, this message calls believers to contend for the faith, set their minds on things above, and live with confidence—whether at home in the body or present with the Lord.

If you’ve been searching for certainty, clarity, or reassurance, this message will challenge you to shift your focus and trust God more deeply—not by what you see, but by who He is.

Because faith isn’t pretending everything is fine.

It’s confidently trusting that God is faithful—no matter what season you’re in.
