This sermon explores the transformation and new mission given to us through Christ. Drawing from Acts 9:19b-31, we dive into the life of Saul, who after his dramatic conversion on the road to Damascus, becomes Paul—a fervent apostle entrusted with spreading the gospel. This sermon will uncover the immediate and life-altering changes Paul experienced and how his new identity in Christ empowered him to embark on a divine mission.

We will reflect on how our own lives mirror Paul’s transformation and are similarly called to action. Through personal stories and biblical truths, we'll discuss the challenges and resistances we face as followers of Christ and how to overcome them with resilience and faith. Learn about the impact of everyday acts of kindness and prayer through a touching real-world story, reminding us that our mission is not just about proclaiming Christ but living out His love in tangible ways.

This message is a call to all believers to recommit to their faith, embrace their new identity, and actively engage in their divine mission, making a real difference in the world around them.

Grace Over Politics

In a world filled with division and strong opinions, how can we as Christians stay focused on what truly matters? In this powerful message, we explore the idea of “Grace Over Politics” and what it means to live as citizens of Heaven first. Through personal insights, historical examples, and a look at Scripture, this sermon challenges us to embrace unity, choose grace, and walk in step with the Holy Spirit—even in a divided world. We’ll also revisit the heartache of the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln called the nation to heal rather than divide further, and see how this lesson still speaks to us today. Whether you’re navigating personal conflicts, political differences, or simply looking to deepen your connection with God and others, this message encourages you to keep Jesus at the center and to make every relationship a reflection of His love and grace.
