    S3 Ep81: He is Still Working--Ascension Sunday 2025
    Jun 1 2025
    In today's sermon, Pastor emphasizes the significance of the ascension of Jesus Christ, which marks His physical and spiritual departure from Earth into the presence of God the Father. He references Hebrews 1:1-4 to illustrate that God has communicated with humanity in various ways throughout history, culminating in the ultimate revelation through His Son, Jesus. This transition from prophetic messages to Christ embodies the fulfillment of God's promise and highlights the profound nature of Jesus as the 'Logos,' the full expression of God. The pastor conveys that the ascension is not merely an endpoint but a pivotal event that opens the way for the coming of the Holy Spirit and the church’s mission on Earth.The sermon also explores the implications of Jesus' earthly experiences and the sacrificial purpose of His coming. Pastor articulates that while the cosmic scale may make humanity feel insignificant, God considers it worth sacrificing His Son for our redemption from sin—a transgression against His law of love. Following the ascension, Jesus continues to work actively, interceding on behalf of believers and preparing a place for them in heaven. By comparing this betrothal to the customs of His time, Pastor illustrates that the church, as the bride of Christ, is called to live in anticipation of His return and be prepared through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The ultimate promise is a transformed creation where the faithful will dwell with Him eternally. Pastor concludes by affirming the joyous reality of the ascension and Jesus’s ongoing role in the lives of believers.

    S3 Ep80: Trickle-down Church aka Nehemiah 13: the Conclusion
    May 25 2025
    In today's sermon, Pastor Nick focused on the themes of leadership, commitment, and the consequences of disobedience as he explored the story of Nehemiah. He recapped how the Israelites faced exile due to their repeated disobedience to God's laws, leading to the destruction of Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the temple. After 70 years, Nehemiah, upon hearing about the poor state of his ancestral city, prayed fervently and received permission from the Persian king to return and lead the effort to restore not just the physical city but the spiritual commitment of its people. Throughout his time as governor, Nehemiah and Ezra helped instigate a significant spiritual revival among the people, who promised to adhere to God's laws, illustrating the importance of community and mutual accountability in faith. However, the message took a serious turn when Pastor Nick highlighted how quickly the Israelites fell back into disobedience during Nehemiah's absence. He pointed out that poor leadership and neglect of spiritual duties led to corruption among the priests and a decline in worship practices, including breaking the Sabbath and intermarrying with non-believers. Pastor Nick noted Nehemiah's return and his zealous actions to restore order in the temple and the practices of worship. The sermon culminated in a reminder that true worship and commitment to God must be reflected in every aspect of life, encouraging the congregation to take personal responsibility for their faith. He invited everyone to engage in prayer and fasting, emphasizing the need to seek God's guidance and foster spiritual revival within their community.

    S3 Ep79: Consecrated for Worship aka Nehemiah 12
    May 18 2025
    In his sermon on Nehemiah chapter 12, Pastor Nick emphasizes the significance of worship and the concept of consecration in the life of believers. He explains that during the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, the Levites and priests were called to purify themselves, the people, and the gates. This act of consecration reveals the importance of being set apart for God's purpose and reflects a deeper spiritual battle: not just a struggle against physical walls but against the spiritual forces that threaten the community's worship and devotion to God. Pastor Nick highlights that while it’s easy to engage in battles that are visible and immediate, true spiritual warfare requires discernment to understand where the true battles lie—focusing not on cultural disagreements but on sharing the love and truth of the Gospel. Moreover, Pastor Nick draws attention to the roles within worship, highlighting the importance of the gatekeepers who ensure that the sacred space remains pure and inviting. He challenges listeners to consider their roles as gatekeepers in today's context, encouraging prayer and spiritual vigilance to create an environment infused with God's presence. "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere," he reminds, stressing that the essence of worship goes beyond music and rituals to a heartfelt connection with God. Ultimately, the message calls people to take part in this sacred fight, ensuring that their lives and the collective church community serve as a beacon for others seeking God.

    May 4 2025
    In Pastor Nick's sermon, he draws from Nehemiah chapter 10 to illustrate the importance of recognizing and repenting for our sins. He reflects on the Israelites' return from exile, their rebuilding efforts, and their deep need for spiritual renewal through confession and commitment. Pastor emphasizes that true worship involves not only acknowledging one's failures but also making firm commitments to follow God's commandments, which the Israelites demonstrated through signing a document promising to adhere to God’s laws, including not intermarrying with those of different faiths and maintaining the Sabbath. Pastor Nick highlights that the law is meant to guide believers in living righteously and that God's concern for sin often surpasses our own. He encourages the congregation to confess their sins to one another, as there is power in communal accountability. The sermon culminates in a call for deeper prayer and a personal commitment to God's guidance, rather than merely going through the motions of religion. He challenges attendees to cultivate a genuine relationship with God, asserting that true revival happens when individuals and communities earnestly seek God through prayer and sincere dedication to His ways.
