What matters more--what we say, or what we actually do? In this final message of the "I Am Called" series, we turn to a parable from Jesus that confronts the gap between words and obedience. If you have ever struggled with stalled-out faith, questioned your calling, or wondered if God can still use you after a "no", this episode is for you.

Discover how the Great I AM calls us not just to speak--but to live--in obedience.

What happens when people question your calling? Or when you start questioning it yourself? We turn to Numbers 17 and the story of Aaron's staff that blossomed overnight. This passage reminds us that it's not up to us to prove ourselves or manufacture fruit. God Himself affirms His call and makes life flourish where we cannot.

If you have ever felt overlooked, doubted, or weary from striving, this sermon offers assurance and hope: you don't have to make your staff blossom. God does.

Life pulls us in a hundred different directions, and our culture tells us our worth is found in what we produce. But in Luke 10:38-42, Jesus shows us a better way. Before we ever do anything for Him, we are called first to be with Him. In this kickoff message from our new series "I Am Called", discover why presence matters more than performance--and how dwelling with Jesus shapes our identity, assurance, and mission.

In Mark 5:25-34, we meet a woman who had suffered in silence for twelve years. Full of fear and trembling, she reached for Jesus--unsure of what He would say. Instead of rejection, she found restoration. In this message, we explore how even hesitant, shame-filled faith can connect us to the healing power of Christ. If you've ever wondered how Jesus responds to our hidden struggles, this is a story you need to hear.

What was the real reason Jesus came? Was it His birth, His death, or His resurrection--or is there something more we've overlooked?

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Nicole takes us to Luke 4, where Jesus defines His mission: to bring good news to the poor, freedom to the captive, sight to the blind, and healing for the oppressed. This is more than a history lesson--it is an invitation to live in the freedom and favor of God today.

In the finale of our "Love Thy Neighbor" series, we turn to one of the most challenging commands in all of Scripture. Leviticus 19:33-34 tells God's people to welcome the stranger, to treat the outsider not as second-class, but as family. This isn't just a call to holiness, it is covenant obedience rooted in God's own character.

We explore what it means to see immigrants and outsiders the way God sees them, and how Jesus fulfills this command by welcoming us when we were strangers to grace. What does it look like for the church to live this out today? The answer may surprise you, and it might even make you uncomfortable.

Join as we discover how holiness means more than private morality; it means love in action that embraces the stranger as kin.

In part four of our Love Thy Neighbor series, we explore the bold witness of Phineas Bresee, before he ever founded the Church of the Nazarene. As a young Methodist pastor in the tense years before the Civil War, Bresee stood in a pulpit draped with the American flag and called slavery what it was: sin. To him, it wasn't about politics, it was about the gospel.

This sermon challenges us to see that God's holiness is not passive. It names sin, confronts injustice, and calls us to live with integrity and compassion. From ancient laws in Leviticus to modern struggles like human trafficking, economic injustice, and exploitation, we discover that holiness isn't about staying "clean" by avoiding messy situations, it is about stepping into them with redemptive love.

Join us as we ask: Where is God calling us today to stand for the vulnerable, confront systems of sin, and reflect the radical love of Jesus?

In this message, guest speaker Rev. Christina Murphy explores what it truly means to cross cultural barriers for the sake of the Gospel. Drawing from Acts 2, Colossians 3, and 1 Corinthians 9, she shows how God doesn't erase our differences, He unites us in Christ despite them. The Good News of Jesus is an open invitation to all races, all cultures, and all people. Learn how to follow Paul's example of becoming "all things to all people" so that by all means, some might be saved.
