Jesus isn’t building an audience, an event, or a brand—He’s building His church, a living people anchored to the unshakable confession that He is the Christ. In Matthew 16, we discover that the church is not something we attend but something we belong to and participate in, advancing against the very gates of hell. This message calls us out of passive spectatorship and into active, courageous faith—because being the church is more than a seat.

From Genesis to today, Scripture traces a single thread: whether hiding in shame, lost by circumstance, or standing outside in self-righteousness, God is always the One who steps toward His people. The gospel invitation is to stop earning, stop hiding, and surrender—because the Father has already made a way home and is ready to celebrate anyone who comes to Him.

Christmas isn’t a story about humanity reaching up to God, but God humbly stepping into our world. In Luke 2, we see that Jesus was born not just to visit us, but to dwell with us—bringing God’s presence into our brokenness, fear, and everyday lives. This sermon invites us to rediscover Christmas as the story of Immanuel, God near, God with us, and God for us.

Christmas traditions have the power to form faith across generations. This conversation explores how we can cherish meaningful traditions while keeping Jesus central in a season so easily filled with distractions.

Christmas didn’t start in Bethlehem—it started in the Garden of Eden, where humanity was created to dwell with God, and it continued in the tabernacle, where God chose to live among His people despite their sin. The tabernacle and its priests only illustrated limited access to God, pointing forward to something greater. In Jesus, God finally came to dwell with us fully, accomplishing once and for all what every other high priest could only symbolize.

Christmas didn’t start in a manger; it started in a garden. Before shepherds heard angels sing or wise men followed a star, God walked with humanity in the cool of the day. You were created for one breathtaking purpose: to live in the presence of God.

God’s generosity toward us is meant to become the source of our generosity toward others. Paul points to the Macedonian believers as a vivid picture of people so moved by grace that they gave eagerly, even in hardship. When our hearts are captured by God’s love, generosity stops feeling like pressure and starts becoming joy. This message invites us to let His grace overflow through us in how we give and live.

How would you live if you knew exactly when Jesus was returning? Would that knowledge affect your relationships, attitude, and schedule? In the conclusion of our 1 Thessalonians series, the apostle Paul shows us what it looks like to live for eternity.

What do Christians do with things like grief, loss, and pain? The Lord uses the apostle Paul to show us how to grieve well, not as people who are without hope, but as children of God who let the hope of Christ’s return motivate how we live now.

Do I actually believe that Jesus is better? Better than comfort, popularity, or short-sighted pleasures? Learn from the apostle Paul about how the calling on our lives is to be set apart so that the world sees God’s beauty through our holiness.

Paul writes the Thessalonians like a caring shepherd, how can we strengthen and encourage others like that? Because when God captures your heart, love for others and holiness follow.

This sermon shows that the gospel is not a human message but the very power of God — it sustained Paul through persecution, planted a church in Thessalonica in just three weeks, and continues to advance today. Because of that, ordinary people like us are invited to root ourselves in Jesus and join His mission, reaching neighbors and nations with the hope of Christ.
