The People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:23-27

Luke 9:23-27 - Pastor Rob’s sermon focuses on the radical call of discipleship: to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus. He reminds us that while the call to die to self sounds heavy, it leads to abundant life, joy, and true freedom found only in Christ. Pastor Rob challenges listeners to examine whether they are truly living surrendered lives, not merely being religious or seeking blessings, but embracing the full cost and beauty of following Jesus. What parts of your life still need to die? Are you daily taking up your cross and living in the abundant life Jesus offers? Is your life rooted in self-preservation—or surrender to Christ and His purposes?

Easter Sunday | Luke 24:1-9

Luke 24:1-9 - Pastor Rob’s Easter message centers on the profound reality of Jesus’ resurrection and what it means for those who believe: not just forgiveness of sins, but abundant life through the new covenant. He unpacks how, because Christ is risen, believers receive a new heart, are indwelled by the Holy Spirit, and are empowered to live holy, purpose-filled lives rooted in relationship with God. This abundant life is marked by peace (shalom), transformation, identity, purpose, and a spiritual richness that transcends circumstances. Are you walking in the abundant life Jesus offers? Have you entered into the new covenant by faith? Are you spending time with God, living in gospel-centered community, serving others generously, and trusting Jesus to lead you on the unique path He’s prepared for you?
 
 
 

Palm Sunday | Luke 19:11-40

Luke 19:11-40 - Pastor Rob focuses parable of the ten minas, highlighting the gap between Jesus’ first and second comings—the “dash” we now live in. As the disciples anticipate an immediate, political kingdom, Jesus redirects their expectations with a story illustrating the responsibility of faithful service during His physical absence. Each servant is given the same gift—the good news of the Kingdom—and is expected to put it to work, not hide it in fear. Pastor Rob challenges listeners to embrace their role in the “family business” of proclaiming the gospel, warning that all will one day give an account for how they used the treasure entrusted to them. What are you doing with the good deposit Jesus has given you? Are you faithfully putting it to work in the lives of others? How are you serving the King while you live in the dash?

The People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:10-22

Luke 9:10-22 - Pastor Rob unpacks the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 as more than just a display of provision—it reveals Jesus as the greater Moses, the promised prophet who would lead people into true life through communion with God. He emphasizes that discipleship means both learning and doing: the apostles had been sent out to preach and heal, and now they return to debrief with Jesus. Yet even in their weariness, Jesus teaches them to welcome interruptions for the sake of the Gospel. Through the miracle of multiplying bread, Jesus points back to Israel’s wilderness journey and forward to the reality that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word from God. Are you only seeking what God can give, or are you truly seeking Him? Do you embrace the interruptions He sends your way as ministry opportunities? Who do you say Jesus is—and how does your life reflect that answer?

The People of the Kingdom | Luke 9:1-10

Luke 9:1-10 - Pastor Rob speaks about the importance of trusting God's guidance even when life feels uncertain or difficult. He emphasizes that faith is not just about believing in God but actively relying on Him in everyday challenges. Using biblical examples, he highlights how God’s timing and plans often differ from our expectations but ultimately lead to greater growth and fulfillment. Where are you placing your trust— in your own abilities, circumstances, or in God’s promises? Where in your life are you struggling to trust God fully? What would it look like to surrender that area to Him today?

The People of the Kingdom | Luke 17:20-37

Luke 17:20-37 - This week, we focus on the coming of God’s Kingdom and the urgency of being prepared for Christ’s return. Pastor Rob explains that the Kingdom is both present—through Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit—and future, when Christ will return to establish His reign fully. He warns against distraction, deception, and being too attached to the world, urging us to focus on Christ, discern truth, and proclaim the Gospel boldly. Are you living with urgency for Christ’s return? Are you aligning your life with God’s will? Are you actively sharing the message of the Kingdom with others?

What do you see when looking in the mirror?

Genesis 1:27-28 - Elder Keith Hersant emphasizes that God uses flawed people for His purposes, as seen in the lives of Abraham, David, Solomon, and Peter—men who made serious mistakes but were still loved and used by God. He reminds us that our identity is found in Christ, not in our past failures or insecurities. Through Jesus, believers are made righteous, sanctified, and redeemed. When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself through God’s eyes? Do you believe that God can forgive anything? Are you allowing Him to use you despite your flaws?

The Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:49-56

Luke 8:49-56 - Pastor Rob’s sermon focuses on Jesus’ authority over death, as seen in Luke 8 when He raises Jairus' daughter. He explains that death is not just physical but also relational and spiritual, stemming from humanity’s separation from God due to sin. Jesus, through His resurrection, not only conquered death but also restores life and relationship with God for all who believe. What is your trajectory—are you walking in life or death? Are you sharing the hope of Jesus with others? And are you fully experiencing the eternal life He offers, or is there an area where you need His transformative power?

The Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:40-48

Luke 8:40-48 - This week, we see Jesus' ultimate authority over all things—nature, demons, sickness, and even death—highlighting His power to restore what is broken. Pastor Rob illustrates how Jesus not only calms the storm and casts out demons but also heals a woman suffering for 12 years, calling her "daughter" and restoring her dignity. The message is clear: Jesus sees, knows, and cares for those who come to Him in faith. Are you willing to push through the crowd to reach Jesus? Do you truly trust Him to restore what is broken in your life? Are you living as a testimony of His power and grace?

The Upside Down Kingdom | Luke 8:22-39

Luke 8:22-39 - This week's passage, Pastor Rob shows us Jesus’ authority. Through calming the storm, casting out demons, healing the sick, and raising the dead, Jesus reveals His power to bring peace, restoration, and transformation. Pastor Rob challenges us to trust in Christ even in life's chaos, to recognize His sovereignty over all things, and to boldly share their testimony of what He has done. Where is your faith in the midst of life's storms? Are you willing to let Jesus change everything? Will you testify to others about what He has done in your life?
