How should we respond when people wrong us? In this message, we look into Jesus' powerful teachings on loving our enemies. Learn why we’re called to love and pray for those who hurt us, not to change them, but because God has changed us. Hear how to reflect God’s love and forgiveness, just as He forgave us. Join us as we unpack what it means to live out God's love, even when life isn't fair.

Payback & Revenge

September 29, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 5:38–42, Exodus 21:23–24, Romans 12:17

In this message on payback and revenge, we look into Jesus' radical call to rise above retaliation and instead embrace grace. When the world says “eye for an eye,” Christ tells us to turn the other cheek and trust God with justice. It’s not about letting people walk over us—it’s about living in the freedom and security that comes from following Christ, who calls us to love, forgive, and leave vengeance in His hands. Learn how to stop defending your rights and start living for Christ’s reputation, which gives true peace and freedom!

Lying, Truth, and Healing

September 22, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Matthew 5:33–37, Proverbs 12:22, John 8:44, 1 John 2:4, John 8:31–32

Lying can trap us, but truth sets us free! In this message, we learn how our words reflect the condition of our heart and why honesty is key to healing and trust. We look at the power of truth, how Satan tries to deceive us, and the importance of confessing to both God and others. Lies lead to bondage, but living in God’s truth brings real freedom. Ready to break free? Let’s go!

Guarding Purity & Marriage

September 15, 2024 • Pastor Chris Pratt • Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:30–32, Matthew 5, 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5

In this sermon, we explore Jesus' teachings on sexual purity and the importance of guarding both our hearts and actions. Drawing from Matthew 5:27-30, we see that sin begins in the heart, and Jesus calls us to take extreme measures to fight it. God's design for sex is within the covenant of marriage (Genesis 2:24), and He is serious about both our earthly and spiritual covenants (Ephesians 5:31-32). As believers, we're called to pursue holiness in our relationships—seeking our Savior first and honoring our marriage vows.
