Read MorePalm Sunday marks the beginning of the holiest week in the Christian calendar. As we wave palm branches and celebrate Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, we're participating in a divine reenactment of one of the most significant moments in history. But this celebration raises an important question that each of us must honestly consider: which crowd am I in?
Read MoreThe story of Lazarus teaches us that Jesus is never late and God is always on time. When Martha and Mary thought Jesus arrived too late to help their dying brother, they witnessed an extraordinary miracle that challenged their understanding of God's perfect timing. During this season of Lent, God is highlighting that it’s also never too late for US to get right with God and with one another!
Read MoreMany people attend church and know Bible stories while remaining spiritually asleep, making decisions and living life still in “darkness” instead of walking in the light. True spiritual awakening involves recognizing Jesus as both Savior and Lord, allowing the Holy Spirit deep access to our hearts, and walking in obedience to God's Word. When we choose light over darkness, our lives become a sweet-smelling aroma to God, characterized by love, joy, and transformation that others can see.
Read MoreThe readings today from Genesis, John, and Romans displayed that all people need a supernatural and undeserved work of the Holy Spirit in their lives. The Holy Spirit causes people to be born again and to transition from death to life. At the same time, the readings call all people to believe in Jesus for eternal life. God is still inviting people into his promise by faith, just as he invited Abram, the Israelites, and Nicodemus. In this season of Lent, we are reminded of these important truths and called to repent of the ways we have failed to live the life of faith.

Read MoreAre you living as salt and light, or have you lost your flavor? Jesus called ordinary people to be extraordinary - the salt of the earth and light of the world. But what happens when we compromise our values to fit in? Every word, action, and social media post either reveals Christ or shows we've grown dull. The good news? Christ can restore lost saltiness and reignite dimmed lights. In a world filled with darkness and division, are you preserving goodness or participating in decay?
Read MoreThe Beatitudes in Matthew 5:1-12 present God's upside-down kingdom where values like meekness, mercy, and peacemaking are blessed rather than worldly strength and wealth. These aren't just future promises but present realities for believers experiencing spiritual poverty, mourning, or hunger for righteousness. Jesus calls us blessed not for comfort but to mobilize us as blessings to others. When we live out these radical values—showing mercy instead of revenge, making peace instead of conflict—we shine Christ's light in darkness. The foundation for this countercultural living is Jesus Himself, who perfectly fulfilled every Beatitude and calls us to build our lives on the solid rock of His teachings.
Read MoreToday’s sermon was recorded at home due to a winter storm.
