Following Jesus is not a one-time moment but a lifelong journey of transformation. This message explores how true discipleship begins with surrender, is shaped inwardly before it’s seen outwardly, and is empowered by the work of the Holy Spirit. As God continues the work He started in us, we are called to grow, change, and not remain the same—becoming more loving, more surrendered, and more aware of His presence each day.

This message focuses on discipleship as a way of life, not just a set of beliefs. Drawing from Mark 1:16–18 and Matthew 11:28–29, Senior Pastor Dr. Phil Willingham teaches that following Jesus is personal, immediate, and transformational. Discipleship is not about information—it’s about imitation.
The sermon challenges us to examine what we’re holding onto that may be limiting where Jesus wants to lead us. When we release our “nets” in obedience, Jesus replaces them with purpose. Discipleship is about formation, not performance—true rest is found in alignment with Jesus, not pressure or religious striving. As we learn to be with Jesus, we are empowered by the Spirit to live on mission, allowing transformation to lead to multiplication. God isn’t looking for ability, but availability, as He calls us to follow, be formed, and be sent.

This message reminds us that prayer is not just about shifting our hearts—it’s about releasing what was never meant for us to carry. Using Matthew 6:25–34, Pastor Matt teaches that worry is rooted in control, fear of provision, and anxiety about tomorrow. Prayer becomes the place where we stop gripping tightly and begin trusting fully.
The sermon shows that worry reveals who we’re relying on, while prayer becomes the exchange point where anxiety is submitted rather than suppressed. Control and trust cannot coexist—peace comes when we let go and seek God’s kingdom first. Prayer doesn’t deny reality, but it refuses to let worry have the final word. When we trust God today, His peace stands guard over our hearts, even when life feels uncertain.

This message teaches that prayer is not about changing God’s will to fit our desires, but allowing God to reshape our hearts to trust Him more fully. Drawing from Psalm 37:3–7 and Matthew 6:10–11, Pastor Matt emphasizes that prayer realigns what we want, how we see, and who we trust. God is far more interested in transforming our hearts than fixing our circumstances.
The sermon highlights that prayer begins with surrender, not requests. As we delight in the Lord and commit our ways to Him, our desires begin to match God’s design. Rather than chasing answers or control, prayer teaches us to trust God’s provision, embrace His purpose, and rest patiently in Him. When we seek God’s will first, we discover that what He provides—our “daily bread”—is truly enough.

Prayer is not an accessory to the Christian life—it is the foundation of it. In this message, Pastor Dr. Phil Willingham walks through Jesus’ response to His disciples’ request, “Lord, teach us to pray,” from Luke 11:1–4. We are reminded that everything Jesus did flowed out of His prayer life, showing us that prayer begins with relationship, centers on God before ourselves, and teaches daily dependence on Him. This message challenges us to move beyond occasional prayers and step into a lifestyle of prayer that shapes our hearts, deepens our trust, and aligns us with God’s will—both personally and as a church.

This New Year message, rooted in Ezekiel 36:26, calls the church to begin again—not by trying harder, but by surrendering deeper. God promises to replace hearts of stone with hearts made alive by His Spirit, leading His people into deeper dependence on Him and wider compassion for their community. The sermon challenges believers to start the year with repentance, prayer, obedience, and corporate unity, trusting the Holy Spirit to renew, revive, and reshape their lives. A new year doesn’t begin with resolutions, but with a new heart fully yielded to God’s will and purpose.

This sermon challenges believers to redefine vision—not as what we see with our eyes, but as the ability to recognize God’s presence, trust God’s power, and stay focused on God’s plan despite opposition. Drawing from 2 Kings, Ephesians, Habakkuk, and Hebrews, the message reminds us that obstacles don’t eliminate God’s activity; they often reveal it. When our spiritual eyes are opened, fear is replaced with faith, distractions give way to purpose, and endurance is found by fixing our focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

This sermon highlights how the small moments of the Christmas story reveal the greatness of who Jesus is. Through the shepherds, we see that feeling forgotten is not the same as being forgotten—God’s heart reaches the overlooked. Through Joseph and Mary, the details reveal God’s purpose, showing that Jesus’ very name declares His mission to save. The gifts of the wise men proclaim His identity as King, Priest, and Savior, and the incarnation itself reveals His nearness—God coming close enough to understand and strong enough to save. The message invites us to come to Jesus, return to Him, and draw closer, trusting that every detail reveals His love and intention for our lives.
