Speaker: Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr.Title: The Promise of PeaceSeries: Christmas @ The OutletNo matter how stressful or lonely the Christmas season gets, the birth of Jesus is your guaranteed Promise of Peace. You access this peace not by trying harder, but by completely surrendering your anxiety, allowing God to break through your current circumstances with an illogical calm that the world simply can't explain.

Speaker: Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr.Title: In the Still of the NightSeries: Christmas @ The OutletSometimes life feels like you're stuck in a never ending season of silence, wondering if God has forgotten you—but that's when He's doing His most detailed work.

Speaker: Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr.Series: Faith Reconstructed (Part 9)Sermon: Good TroubleFollowing Jesus and living out His values means you're going to get into some "Good Trouble"—like the prophets and early Christians who were persecuted for standing up to the status quo.

To be considered a follower of Christ, there are items that we can agree to disagree on with the interpretation of Scripture such as: Eschatology (End Times), The location of Heaven & Hell, Pneumatology (The Modern Day Activity of Holy Spirit), Gender Roles & Leadership, etc.However, to be a follower of Christ, we CANNOT disagree on the basis that Jesus Christ (and Jesus Christ alone) is the ONLY way to Heaven.Let's fellowship together over God's Word!Pastor Vince Thomas, Jr. - Apologetics 101 Series (Part 1)

In this sermon, we explore how to find joy in our mourning by recognizing our pain, posturing our hearts to receive God’s comfort, and surrendering what we’ve lost to the One who promises to restore it all.Joy in the Mourning - Tolulope OlasanoyeFaith Reconstructed Series (Part 4)

To overcome religious bias, you must intentionally move beyond snap judgments and stereotypes by reconstructing your faith with Christ at the center.

Jesus told His followers to watch out for the "yeast" of the Pharisees—meaning their fake, corrupt teachings. This sermon teaches that instead of trying to become an expert on every false belief out there, you should become a pro at knowing the real thing.

Overcoming Trust Issues, explores the core concept of trusting God as a way to find a true and lasting relationship with Him. The message argues that trust is a practical action, not just a feeling, and it’s the only way to be “found in Christ.” It's a journey from self-reliance to full dependence on God, shedding the things that hinder true faith.Overcoming Trust Issues - Pastors Vince & Ashley ThomasLost & Found Series (Part 2)
