In this message, we looked at Jesus’ final words in the Sermon on the Mount, where He shares the illustration of two builders. One builder builds his house on a solid foundation—the rock—while the other builds on a weak foundation—the sand.

Aaron used the picture of ancient Israel’s dry riverbeds to help illustrate what Jesus was describing. When the ground looked firm on the surface but had no real foundation underneath, it would collapse when the storms came. Jesus teaches that He is the solid rock—the only foundation strong enough for us to build our lives on.

He ended with an illustration using ping pong balls in a jar, asking the question: What are we building our lives upon? Our lives can easily be filled with hollow things that don’t truly satisfy. But when we allow the Spirit of God—like living water—to fill us, He brings the fullness and foundation our lives truly need.

In this message, we walk through Matthew 7:1-6 (ESV), where Jesus warns against judging others without first examining our own hearts.

Pastor Jeff shares a powerful illustration about the dangers of focusing on someone else’s faults while ignoring our own, urging us to seek spiritual growth from the inside out.

The sermon highlights the need for discernment over distraction, encourages daily Bible reading and prayer, and reminds us that true transformation comes through humility, honesty, and God’s grace.

In this sermon, Pastor Jeff Lister explores what it means to truly impact the world for God as a “Kingdom Builder.”

Drawing from Isaiah 6:1-8, Romans 10:13-15, and 2 Corinthians 8:1-7 (ESV), he outlines three essential qualities: a willing heart, a committed heart, and a generous heart.

Using biblical examples and modern missionary stories, Pastor Jeff challenges listeners to make themselves available for God’s mission—whether through serving, sharing the gospel, or supporting missions financially.

He reminds us that God’s Kingdom advances when ordinary people say yes to His call, and our collective sacrifices can echo into eternity, spreading hope both locally and globally.

This Sunday message, Pastor Jeff begins our Kingdom Builders vision series with part one from Matthew 6:19-24. Jesus warns us that whatever we treasure shapes our hearts, and He challenges us to invest in “treasures in heaven” rather than earthly possessions that fade.

Through real-life stories, biblical context, and practical teaching,We unpack why following Jesus with our finances, focus, and devotion is the only way to true security and eternal impact.

Listen in as we explore what it means to serve God, not money, and prepare our hearts for next week’s celebration of missions and reaching our world for Christ.

Pastor Jeff continues our series on prayer and fasting, exploring Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6:16-18 (ESV) about the heart and purpose of fasting.

This message, "When You Fast," emphasizes that fasting isn’t optional for believers—it's essential for spiritual growth, but it must be done authentically, seeking God’s reward rather than recognition from others.

Drawing from biblical examples like Moses, David, and Esther, this message shows how fasting is used for revelation, repentance, and deliverance.

Be encouraged to practice fasting in secret, check your motives, and pursue God’s purpose for your life.

This weekend we dove into the importance of authentic, heartfelt prayer based on Matthew 6:5-14.

We believe prayer isn’t just a ritual, but a daily conversation with our Heavenly Father that transforms our lives and deepens our faith. The Lord’s Prayer guides us to seek God’s will, ask for our daily needs, pursue forgiveness, and trust His guidance.

Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, you’re invited to join us in discovering the power of prayer and living out God’s purpose together.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been anchored in Isaiah 9:6, and today we focus on Jesus as our Everlasting Father—a promise spoken into a time of fear and uncertainty, pointing to a King who would protect, provide, and care for His people forever.

Unlike broken earthly leaders or even broken family relationships, Jesus shows us the compassion of a perfect Father, invites us to come to Him for rest, and adopts us into God’s family with unchanging love.

Isaiah 9:6 reveals Jesus as Mighty God, a title that points to His unmatched power and authority.

In Matthew 14, we see this might on display as Jesus walks on water and steps into the storm to be near His disciples, showing that His power is not distant but personal. Peter’s faith reminds us that we are not meant to face storms in our own strength, but to move at Jesus’ command and trust His power to sustain us.

Like God’s deliverance at the Red Sea, our stillness makes room for His greatness—because the Lord Himself fights for us.
