The power of sin has separated us from God which means we needed an even stronger savior to come to our rescue. Rescue came when Jesus was born and we have redemption through His blood and sacrifice.

Today we explore the miracle of the incarnation, God not just hearing us from heaven, but stepping into our world as Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. Unlike the distant hope of letters to Santa, Jesus is the God who showed up in person, taking on flesh, walking our roads, carrying our sorrows, and understanding our weakness firsthand. As our perfect High Priest, He doesn’t just save us from afar; He stands beside us in our sin, shame, and need, just as He did with the woman caught in adultery. This Christmas we remember that the greatest gift is Jesus Himself. God with skin on, God who draws near, and God who will never leave us.

The rebellion of sin is a pervasive reality for all humankind, no one is exempt from its devastating power. Which is why we needed an even stronger savior to come to our rescue. Sin leaves a crimson stain that is IMPOSSIBLE for us to remove. But that’s where God begins…

In this final message of our Unobstructed series, we explore what it means to live and share an unobstructed gospel in a world full of distractions and false barriers. Through Scripture, we see God’s heart for every tribe, nation, and tongue, and the unstoppable movement of the gospel through ordinary people. Jesus calls us to carry His light wherever we go, trusting His authority, His presence, and His power. Be encouraged to step into your everyday moments with boldness, availability, and the confidence that nothing can hinder God’s mission through you.

The Holy Spirit is the main “power source” of Christians. The Spirit is a multi-functional, multi-faceted wonder that is an imperative component to living an empowered and unobstructed life in Christ. In the Spirit we have, among many other things; strength to share, strength to persevere, and strength to love.

Join us for Abounding—a powerful exploration of God’s promise of abundance in every area of life. Through Scripture and reflection, we’ll walk the journey from awareness of God’s presence to acceptance, authority, abundance, and ultimately abounding in every good work. Discover how living in Christ transforms not only what we receive but how we overflow in spirit, generosity, and love.

Forgiveness of sin used to come through the sacrificial system as described in the Old Testament. But Jesus changed everything, and now, through His single sacrifice on the cross, forgiveness is available to all who confess and believe. There is no longer any hindrance or obstacle to forgiveness and salvation.

The book of Acts is a sweeping account of the birth of Christianity. It begins with the ascension of Christ and ends with the Apostle Paul writing letters while under Roman house arrest. It’s the story of a handful of disciples who turn the world upside down with their message of love, forgiveness, and salvation through Christ. It’s quite an epic tale, but it may be the very final word of Acts that leaves us with the greatest clue for how to live as followers of Christ in the modern world. “Unobstructed” may be the last word of Acts, but it’s the first word for those who put their hope, faith, and trust in the risen King Jesus.

In the final week of our Entrusted series, we see how the unfaithful servant wasted what was given to him out of fear and complacency, missing the purpose his master intended. Jesus warns us through this parable that fear can paralyze our faith, and wasted potential is still disobedience. Yet, when we courageously use what God has entrusted to us—our time, gifts, and opportunities—faithfulness leads to joy and fruit that outlives us. This week challenges us to live not for “well liked,” but for “well done, good and faithful servant.”

In Matthew 25, we’re reminded that the Master will return, and how we steward what God has entrusted to us matters. God celebrates faithfulness, not perfection or results, and invites us to share in His joy through obedience and perseverance. Faithfulness requires action—our quiet, unseen efforts count just as much as the visible ones. Every step of faithful living now prepares us for the eternal reward of hearing, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Today we will explore how God entrusts each of us with gifts, opportunities, and responsibilities according to our ability, not randomly or unfairly. We learn that faithfulness with what we have—no matter the size—reveals our trust in God and allows His Kingdom to multiply through us. Fear and comparison can keep us from using what God has given, but stepping out in obedience leads to growth, influence, and reward. Ultimately, this parable challenges us to steward our gifts faithfully today, knowing that God sees, equips, and rejoices in our faithful service.

Join us as we explore Jesus’ Parable of the Talents and discover that everything we have—our time, talents, resources, and influence—is entrusted to us by God, not given by accident. Parables reveal and confront, showing us the condition of our hearts and calling us to faithful stewardship in the present as citizens of the Kingdom. We are challenged to live with open hands, investing what God has given us for His purposes, not hiding it out of fear or selfishness. Ultimately, this story reminds us that we are entrusted—on purpose, for a purpose—and that our faithful response impacts eternity.

This sermon looks at Nehemiah’s determination to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem despite obstacles, showing us how prayer, focus, and perseverance are essential to leaving a godly legacy. We’ll see how Nehemiah prayed before he panicked, refused to come down from the wall when distractions came, and finished the work God called him to do. In the same way, we are called to trust God first, stay committed to our mission, and persevere until His purposes are complete in our lives.

Joshua’s leadership legacy is marked by bold faith and unwavering determination to follow God’s direction. His story teaches us that boldness comes not from our own strength but from trust in God’s promises.

Deborah’s leadership legacy highlights wisdom, justice, and courage. As a prophetess and judge, she balanced strength with compassion and boldly followed God’s direction in times of crisis. Her life inspires us to lead with discernment, fairness, and a heart aligned with God’s will.

When life hits hard and leaves you shaken, the answer isn’t to pull away but to press in closer to Jesus. Just as He reminded His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life, we find hope, direction, and strength when we double-down on Him. In the moments of deepest struggle, Christ assures us of His presence, His promises, and His power to carry us through.

David’s leadership legacy is rooted in his genuine & wholehearted worship of God and his willingness to repent when he fell short. His story reminds us that great leaders are not perfect but are defined by their pursuit of God and their humility to seek His forgiveness.

Pastor Jeff explores the deep longing for breakthrough and healing, illustrated by the man waiting at the pool of Bethesda, and reveals that the true source of living water is Jesus and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. Through Scripture, we’re reminded that God’s power is not distant or inactive, but present and stirring, calling us to recognize, respond, and move in faith. We are urged to be continually filled with the Spirit, to fan into flame what God has placed within us, and to actively step into the supernatural life He offers.

In Mark 2:1-12, four friends go to extreme lengths—literally breaking through a roof—to bring a paralyzed man to Jesus, demonstrating the kind of bold faith that moves hearts and brings healing. While the crowd watched, Jesus not only healed the man’s body but also forgave his sins, revealing His divine authority. This story challenges us to consider our role: are we the one who needs healing, the one helping others find Jesus, or someone withholding forgiveness that could set another free?

Moses’ leadership legacy is defined by his courage to follow God’s call and to stand firm in the face of fear and opposition. His story reminds us that courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to act in faith despite it.
