In Mark 6:1–6, Jesus returns to His hometown, where the people recognize His wisdom but struggle to believe in who He truly is. Their familiarity with Jesus breeds unbelief, and Jesus marvels at their lack of faith. In contrast, a Roman centurion’s understanding of Jesus’ authority leads to extraordinary faith. This message challenges us to consider whether familiarity with God has made our faith routine and our relationship with Him mundane. Have we become so accustomed to worship, Scripture, salvation, and God’s goodness that we’ve stopped expecting Him to move? The message reminds us that familiarity should deepen our faith, not diminish it. When the things of God become routine, we risk taking His presence, His Word, our relationships, and the privilege of gathering with the church for granted. Drawing from Revelation 2:4–5, the sermon calls us to remember our first love, repent, and return to the things we did at the beginning. By spending more time with Jesus and intentionally remembering His goodness, grace, mercy, and power to transform our lives, we can renew our wonder and expectation. It’s time to believe again, pray for miracles again, and stop taking God’s goodness for granted.

Using the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 18–19, this message explores what happens when we drift from God, allow fear to lead us into isolation, or lose sight of the calling He has placed on our lives. Elijah experienced an incredible victory on Mount Carmel, yet shortly afterward he was afraid, exhausted, and hiding in a cave. There, God gently asked him, “What are you doing here?” The message reminds us that even after failure, fear, or seasons of running, God continues to pursue us. He meets us in the wilderness, restores us, and calls us back to trust.

Ps. Jesse tackles the difficult topic of abortion and the value of life in this weeks sermon of "Did God Really Say." Using real life statistics covered in buckets of grace and love, Ps. Jesse gives the church the information needed to stand firm on the belief that all life is valuable.

This message explores what Scripture says about marriage and same-sex sexual behavior, beginning with God’s design for marriage in Genesis. The sermon argues that from creation, God established marriage as a covenant relationship between a man and a woman, and then traces this understanding through the Old and New Testaments, including Jesus’ teaching in Mark 10 and Paul’s writings.

This message introduces the Did God Really Say? series by asking a foundational question: Who gets to decide what is true, right, and wrong? Beginning with the serpent’s question in Genesis 3, the sermon reveals a pattern that has continued throughout history: humanity questions God’s Word, rejects His authority, and ultimately places itself on the throne.
