The Case For Christmas
Is Christmas just tradition — or is it truth? In this message, Pastor K Paul presents The Case for Christmas, showing that the birth of Jesus is not a myth or fairytale, but a historically grounded, prophetically fulfilled, and life-changing reality. Drawing from the Gospel of Luke, archaeological discoveries, fulfilled prophecy, and real-life transformation stories — including Lee Strobel’s journey from skeptic to believer — this message challenges listeners to take Christmas (and Christ) se...

The Kingdom of God
In this message from our Live Focused series, Pastor K. Paul explores what Jesus meant when He taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.” We’re reminded that two kingdoms are constantly competing for our allegiance—the kingdom of self and the kingdom of God. While living for ourselves may feel natural, it often leads to anxiety and emptiness. Living for God’s kingdom, though it may feel risky, leads to freedom, peace, and lasting purpose. This sermon challenges us to examine w...

Paul continues our “Live Focused” series by diving into the first words of the Lord’s Prayer: “Our Father in heaven.” In this message, we discover how these two words settle five major relationships in our lives: the unseen world, the seen world, our relationship with others, our relationship with ourselves, and our relationship with God. Through powerful encouragement and practical teaching, we’re invited to step into a prayer life that brings peace, purpos...

Fields of Faith Part 1
In this week’s message, Pastor K. Paul challenges us to consider the silent sermon our lives are always preaching. Before we ever speak a word about Jesus, our choices, attitudes, and responses reveal what we truly believe. We are reminded that faith isn’t merely something we confess, it’s something we embody. When we choose forgiveness over bitterness, humility over pride, and obedience over comfort, we demonstrate a kingdom way of life that stands out in a world that runs on self-promotion ...

Give to the Needy
In this week’s message, Pastor K. Paul walks through Matthew 6:1–4, where Jesus warns us to “be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men.” In a culture obsessed with being seen, Jesus invites us to something deeper—giving not for recognition, but from a heart transformed by grace. Learn how to examine your motives, understand the difference between empty and eternal rewards, and rediscover what it means to give from love, not out of duty or prestige.

Love Your Enemies
In this week’s message, Pastor K. Paul unpacks one of Jesus’ most radical teachings — “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” He challenges us to step beyond comfort and convenience into a love that reflects the very heart of God. Loving our enemies isn’t weakness; it’s maturity. We’re called to be tools in the Maker’s hands — bringing light where there’s darkness and healing where there’s division. Pastor K. Paul closes with Corrie ten Boom’s powerful story of forgiveness, ...

An Eye for an Eye
This week, Pastor K.Paul unpacks Jesus’ radical teaching from Matthew 5:38–42. In a world obsessed with payback, Jesus calls us to live free from retaliation. Drawing from the oldest law known to humanity—“an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth”—Pastor K.Paul shows how this ancient rule was actually a starting point for mercy, not revenge.

Fulfilled — Not Replaced
This week, guest speaker, John Suciu, unpacks one of the most challenging passages in Scripture — Matthew 5:17–20. In it, Jesus declares that He didn’t come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. What does that mean for how we live today? Through humor, honesty, and deep biblical insight, John reminds us that Jesus is our Creator, our Destiny, and our Purpose — and that He has the audacity to tell us how to live. This message challenges us not to lower God’s standards for our comfort, but to ...

Light of the World
This week, Pastor Kodi unpacks the difference between a private and personal faith. A private faith is silent—kept hidden between you and God. But a personal faith impacts everyone around you, shining brightly for others to see. From Isaiah to Revelation, the story of the light points to Jesus, the true source of life. And now, we—the Church—are called to reflect that light. So wake up, repent, and declare the goodness of God wherever you go.

This week at Avalon we closed out our Beatitudes series with a challenging message: Blessed Insults. Jesus reminds us that persecution is not a sign of failure, but a mark of faithfulness.

Paul continued our journey through the Beatitudes with a message called “Blessed Mercy” from Matthew 5:7: “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” Mercy, Pastor K. Paul explained, isn’t just feeling sorry for someone—it’s entering their world, seeing with their eyes, feeling with their heart, and walking with them in their struggle. Mercy triumphs over j...

Blessed Hunger
This week in our Beatitudes series, Pastor K. Paul unpacks one of the most searching questions Jesus ever raises: What are you hungry for? Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” But so often, we chase after happiness, possessions, and self-driven goals—only to end up empty.
