Looking at Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow in Luke 18:1–8, we learn that God invites us to keep asking, keep seeking, and keep knocking—even when the waiting feels heavy. Through stories of desperation that led to breakthrough, including the powerful testimony of Pastor Jim Cymbala’s daughter, Pastor Phillip reminds us that persistence is born out of deep dependence.

This sermon challenges us to move beyond polished, comfortable prayers and into a desperate pursuit of God’s presence—personally, in our families, and in our church.

If an unjust judge will respond to persistence, how much more will our good and gracious God move on behalf of His people?

Be encouraged, be challenged, and be called into a deeper place of faith as we learn what it means to persist in prayer.

Through Scripture and honest reflection, Erin challenges us to return to the feet of Jesus, guard our hearts from distraction, and offer worship that costs us something. The message ends with a powerful Gospel invitation and a call to lay everything at His feet.

Through David’s story, we’re challenged to reexamine how we pursue God’s presence—not on our terms, but His. This episode calls us to let go of pride, embrace obedience, and worship with our whole lives, even when it looks undignified.

In week 3 of our Life Of David series, Saul’s fear and jealousy of David in 1 Samuel 18 show what happens when we try to control what only God can. While Saul clings to power, others like Jonathan embrace God’s plan.

Listen now and learn how to kill jealousy and live with confidence in God’s plan.

In Week 2 of our Life of David series, we step into the epic story of David and Goliath. While the army of Israel was paralyzed by fear, David stepped forward with unshakable faith—not in his own strength, but in the power of God. This message challenges us to face the giants in our lives with confidence, knowing that God has already prepared us for the battle. Sometimes the greatest victories come through simple obedience and deep trust.

In the first week of our Life of David series, we dive into 1 Samuel 16 where God chooses David—an overlooked shepherd boy—to be the next king of Israel. Even though David was anointed, he wasn’t yet appointed. This message reminds us that God sees beyond the surface and often prepares us in hidden places before elevating us to public purpose.

Drawing from Ephesians 4, we explore the biblical roles of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—and how each is designed to equip the saints (that’s you!) for the work of ministry. This message emphasizes the importance of a team effort in building a healthy, vibrant church where lives are changed and people grow to full maturity in Christ.

You’ll be challenged to move from simply attending church to actively playing your part in ministry—whether that’s through hospitality, kids, tech, prayer, music, or leading a group. When every part of the body works together, the church thrives.

Saved people serve people—and you were made for this.

Rooted in Jesus’ words from Matthew 22, Pastor Phil unpacks how the greatest commandments—to love God with all our heart, soul, and mind, and to love our neighbor as ourselves—are the foundation for everything we do as followers of Christ.

We explore what real love looks like: not robotic religion or passive tolerance, but a deep affection for God that overflows into how we treat people—especially those who are different from us. From the story of the Good Samaritan to the hard truths of 1 John 4, this message calls us to reflect God's love in our homes, church, community, and even online.

If we claim to love God, it should show in how we love others.
