This sermon uses the fable “Belling the Cat” as an entry point into a larger conversation about transition, uncertainty, and courage. With honesty, warmth, and biblical depth, the message reminds the church that our confidence isn't in any one pastor, but in Christ alone. Drawing from passages in 1 Corinthians, Matthew 16, and John 14–15, the sermon emphasizes three truths: our hope is not in a man, God is still working, and the church will continue to thrive.

As the congregation navigates the departure of their pastor, the message encourages abiding in Christ, maintaining unity, praying for all involved, and stepping boldly forward with trust that Jesus is building His church, an unstoppable force even in seasons of change.

This sermon invites us to reflect on the many ways God shapes our lives as individuals and as a church. Emphasizing Paul's teachings on contentment, unity, and spiritual resilience, it highlights how Jesus strengthens us in our past, anchors us in the present, and gives us hope for the future.

Through stories of flexibility, generosity, open-armed hospitality, and shared mission, we're reminded that our foundation has always been—and must remain- Jesus alone. Even in seasons of transition, we can walk forward with confidence, letting our roots grow deeper in Him and allowing gratitude to transform our perspective and purpose.

This message invites us into the heart of November, a season marked by gratitude, with a reminder of the One we should be most thankful for: Jesus. Drawing from passages across Scripture, this sermon explores three powerful reasons for this gratitude. First, we see that Jesus is the fulfillment of prophecy, the One foretold from Genesis to Isaiah to Daniel, proof that God always keeps His promises. Second, Jesus stands as the ultimate demonstration of God's love, the One who died for us “while we were still sinners,” revealing a love not earned but freely given. Finally, Jesus offers the guarantee of eternal life, a gift He secures, sustains, and protects, promising that no one can snatch us from His hand.

Through humor, practical examples, and rich biblical teaching, this sermon reminds us that if Jesus is what we cling to, pursue, and love above all, we will discover a life more abundant than we ever imagined.

In 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Paul writes, “Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Gratitude isn't just for the good times—it's a command for every season of life. In this sermon, we explore what it truly means to live out God's will by cultivating thankfulness, even in hardship and uncertainty.

God reminds us that gratitude transforms our perspective, strengthens our faith, and draws us closer to him. From the story of Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonians to Jesus' assurance that not even a sparrow falls without the Father's care, this message challenges us to trust in God's faithfulness and to find peace in His unchanging nature. Whether life feels stable or shaken, gratitude can be the anchor that keeps us grounded in God's goodness.

This honest, humorous, and challenging message uses a relatable (and slightly painful) story about running to explore a deeper spiritual truth: the race of life. Drawing from Hebrews 12:1-2, we're reminded that there are only a few ways to finish—some don't finish at all, some barely make it, and some finish strong.

Whether you love running or hate it, this message will help you reflect on your spiritual endurance. Are you being distracted? Discouraged? Or are you focused on the finish line?

God's desire isn't just that you cross the line—but that you finish strong. Learn how to run with endurance, stay focused on Jesus, and let go of anything holding you back.

Main Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2

Theme: Endurance, faith, and finishing well

Bonus: Yes, there's a story about a 5K you won't want to miss.

In Luke 4, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth and steps into the synagogue to read from the scroll of Isaiah. As He reads a well-known messianic passage from Isaiah 61, the room is filled with anticipation. Then comes a stunning moment—Jesus claims that this Scripture is being fulfilled right in front of them. But what's even more surprising is where He stops reading. He leaves out a key phrase that completely shifts how we understand His mission.

This sermon unpacks why Jesus chose that specific passage, what His reading reveals about who He is, and how His words continue to speak to us today. It's a moment that challenges assumptions, redefines expectations, and calls us to see Jesus for who He truly is—the one who brings good news, freedom, and healing to a broken world.

We were never meant to do life alone.

In this powerful message, we continue exploring God's plan for your life—a plan that includes new life, abundant life, and eternal life… but also something we often overlook: shared life. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 4, we see that even King Solomon—one of the wisest, richest, and most powerful men in history—recognized that a life lived in isolation is ultimately meaningless.

God designed us for relationship. He created us to be part of a family, to live in community, and to walk through life together. Whether you're struggling with loneliness or just longing for deeper connection, this message will remind you: Two are better than one.

In this heartfelt and relatable message, Pastor Andrew reflects on the comfort and power of knowing that God has a plan, not just for us individually, but for our families as well.

Through personal stories, childhood dreams of WWE stardom, and the highs and lows of parenting, Andrew reminds us that trying to shape life on our own is like a child making grown-up decisions, messy and uncertain. But God, in His wisdom, invites us into something better: a plan designed for joy, growth, and lasting purpose.

Whether you're a parent, child, or somewhere in between, this message will encourage you to trust God's plan for your family, because it's not always easy, but it is always good.
