Abraham and Isaac
FEB 10, 2025
Abraham and Isaac

Are you willing to lay down your best plans for God's perfect will? Abraham placed his unwavering trust in God, even when it defied his understanding. Discover how surrender opens the path to divine provision.

--

We all have dreams, plans, and ideas we believe will lead to success. But what if God is asking us to lay them down? 

Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac, trusting that God would still fulfill His promises. His faith wasn’t in his plan, but in God's power.

God calls us to surrender not because He wants to take from us, but because He wants to give us something greater. When we choose faith over control, we make room for His miraculous provision. 

What “Isaacs” in your life need to be placed on the altar?

Genesis 22:1-18; 1 Samuel 15:22-23; Romans 12:1; Galatians 2:20; Hebrews 11:1

Abraham

Abraham

Whose story are you living? We’re invited into God’s plan, and it’s about Him, not us. Don’t settle for less—see how surrender leads to His ultimate blessing!

--

When we mistake the privilege of being part of God’s story for the right to take the pen, we risk settling for less than His best. Like Abraham, we often seek God's blessing on our own plans instead of submitting to the greater promise He has for us. But God's faithfulness goes beyond our limits—He invites us to trust and walk faithfully, knowing His plans are greater than ours.

Remember that God will only multiply what we are willing to release, and when we let go, He leads us into something greater. Surrender and worship are essential; they bring revelation, align our hearts with God, and remind us that His promises depend on His nature, not ours. 

Are you ready to trust Him with your story? Listen and then take this to God to hear how God is calling you to walk with Him!

Noah and the Ark
JAN 27, 2025
Noah and the Ark

Is your faith anchored in reverent fear of God or complacency? Learn from Noah's unwavering faith, grace, and rescue mission.

--

Noah’s faith was not passive—it was built on absolute certainty that God is who He says He is.

In a time when society ignored and rejected God, Noah walked in obedience, trusting in God's Word despite ridicule. His faith was not just belief; it was action. God called Noah to a rescue mission by grace, showing that faith involves responding to God's call with conviction and respect, not just receiving blessings.

We frequently desire a faith that offers comfort without requiring us to confront our challenges, and bestows blessings without the need for obedience. But true faith, like Noah’s, is anchored in a deep, reverent fear of God—acknowledging His power, sovereignty, and justice. Joshua MacLeod delivers a strong sermon encouraging us to assess if our faith is rooted in God's Word or just our personal views.

Listen now to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to live out a faith that truly honors God.

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 3:1, 3:3, 6:5-9, 7:5, 19:1-11; Joshua 6:21; Ezekiel 16-49, 33:11; Matthew 5:29-30; Luke 17:26-29; John 14:6; Romans 6:23; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Ephesians 2:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 1 Timothy 2:3-4;2 Peter 3:9-10; Hebrews 11:1-7; Jude 1:7; Revelation 20:10

Key Insights

  • We want a faith in God that doesn’t require fear of God.
  • As you’re looking at your faith in God, is it anchored in reverent fear or are you taking Him lightly?
  • God will take drastic measures to protect His plans.
  • God doesn’t force people to do what we want them to do. God allows the consequences of our sin.
  • Jesus joined into the suffering.
  • God allows things He hates to accomplish what He loves.
  • The Gospel message is a message of grace.
  • Noah was given grace and then given an assignment. God has work for you to do.
  • If you’ve received grace, you’ve been assigned to a rescue mission.
  • How deeply do you believe God’s Word?
  • God takes people seriously when they take Him seriously.
  • Noah was mocked by everyone but he walked with God.

Cain and Abel
JAN 20, 2025
Cain and Abel

Real death is separation from God, the source of joy and love. The “Way of Cain”—following our own path—leads to death. God offers the true way.

--

Cain’s mistake wasn’t just his offering—it was his heart. He knew what God required but chose his own way, bringing the best of his labor instead of the blood sacrifice God had commanded. His disobedience was an attempt to redefine righteousness on his own terms. But no matter how good our efforts seem, they can never replace God’s perfect plan.

When we rely on our own strength, we walk in Cain’s footsteps—away from God’s presence. We, like him, find ourselves separated from God because of our defiance. But Christ offers another way—the perfect sacrifice that restores our relationship with God and leads to eternal life.

Listen to this sermon to discover how to reject Cain’s path and walk in God’s truth.

Scriptures Referenced

Genesis 3:21, 4:1-9; Leviticus 17:11; Psalm 16:11; Proverbs 13:12, 16:25; Matthew 10:29; John 1:29, 10:1, 14:6; 2 Timothy 2:23; Jude 1:11; Revelation 5:1-7

Key Insights

  • Not every question needs an answer.
  • Separation from God came because we hid from God.
  • Following our own paths for gain or fame leads us away from God’s will.
  • Cain knew what was required, but thought he had a better idea.
  • The best we have is never enough.
  • Christ’s perfect sacrifice creates the way back to God and eternal life.

The Fall
JAN 13, 2025
The Fall

Sin fractures relationships, but God’s first response is pursuit, not punishment. Step toward the perfect love and restoration that he's provided through Christ!

--

Sin doesn’t just lead to bad choices—it distorts how we see God, ourselves, and others. It breeds blame, division, and shame, turning unity into competition and harmony into conflict. But even in our brokenness, God's first response is to pursue redemption instead of rejection. He seeks to heal what sin has shattered and invites us to step into His renewing grace.

The enemy wants you to believe that your failures define you, but God says otherwise. You are part of the greatest story ever told—a story where God offers a fresh start. His love is relentless, and His plan is restoration.

Listen to this powerful message and discover how God can transform your life, one step at a time.
