An Invitational Life – Week 5

In this 5th message of our “An Invitational Life” sermon series, we explore how to handle opposition in our efforts at evangelism. Rooted in Acts 4:1-31, the sermon examines how Peter and John boldly proclaimed Christ before the powerful Sanhedrin, even after facing imprisonment and threats. Their courage came not from their own strength but from dependence on the Holy Spirit and prayer. The disciples’ prayer for boldness—despite opposition—reminds us that God is sovereign, and He calls us to trust…

An Invitational Life – Week 4

This message is part 4 of our series “An Invitational Life,” where we explore how to join Jesus on His mission, growing from tentative steps to confidently sharing our faith. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the sermon walks through three steps in living a Gospel sharing life:

An Invitational Life – Week 3

This message reminds us how stories shape us. We’ll explore how the Bible showcases the transforming power of personal testimony through the story of a man born blind in John 9, healed and given purpose by Jesus. His story—and ours—reveals the profound impact of sharing how God works through our lives. Learn to recognize the significance of your story, choose how to tell it, and embrace the call to bear witness to God’s work.

An Invitational Life – Week 1

For many, sharing the gospel can feel awkward or intimidating—let’s face it, not everyone feels like a natural evangelist. This message dives into that tension, sharing stories about the pressure some feel to “get it right,” the old-school methods that sometimes fell flat, and the reality that most of us don’t have Billy Graham-level confidence when it comes to sharing our faith. But it also explores how evangelism doesn’t have to be about being perfect; it’s about being faithful and…

Christ & Politics

In this sermon, Pastor Donnie challenges us to reflect on our role as Christians in politics and governance. Through a series of key scriptures, including John 18:28-36 and Romans 13:1-7, he addresses the Christian principle of stewardship, not just of resources but of our vote and political engagement. Donnie argues that Christians must prioritize their allegiance to Christ, while still participating in politics with integrity and truth. He examines the unhealthy blending of faith and politics and emphasizes the need…
