Pastor Evan shows how ordinary faithfulness becomes extraordinary when we remain with God right where we are. Ready to discover what steady faith looks like in your life?

  • Sex & Marriage // 1 Cor. 7:1-9
    Feb 1 2026

    What happens when the church swings between extremes on sexuality, from rigid purity culture to complete permissiveness? In this message, Pastor Evan tackles this challenging topic head-on, offering a balanced biblical perspective that celebrates sex as God's good gift while maintaining its sacred place within marriage. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7:1-9, he presents eight biblical "P" lenses - including purity, promise, partnering, pleasure, and protection, passion, picture & pardon, to help us understand God's design for sexual intimacy. Using the vivid metaphor of fire in a fireplace, Pastor Evan illustrates how sexual passion isn't shameful but must be properly channeled to bring warmth and light rather than destruction. He emphasizes that marital intimacy isn't about power or entitlement, but mutual self-giving love that reflects Christ's covenant with His church. Most powerfully, he concludes with a message of hope and healing for those carrying sexual shame or past wounds, reminding us that in Christ we are washed clean and empowered to live in sexual wholeness. The sermon calls the church to be a voice of healing in a sexually confused culture, offering God's better way of covenant love and faithful stewardship of our sexuality.

  • You Are Not Your Own // 1 Cor. 6:12-20
    Jan 19 2026

    What does it mean to truly honor God with our bodies? Pastor Evan tackles the challenging topic of sexual purity through the lens of 1 Corinthians 6, revealing how our physical bodies are intricately connected to our spiritual lives. He illuminates how Christian freedom isn't a license for indulgence, but rather the power to live wholly for Christ. Pastor Evan emphasizes that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, purchased at the price of Christ's blood. He challenges the cultural narrative that separates physical actions from spiritual consequences, instead pointing to a higher calling: using our bodies to glorify God. The message culminates in a urgent dual call to both flee from sexual immorality and actively pursue worship through our bodies, reminding us that true freedom comes not from following our desires, but from belonging completely to Christ.
