A COMMON THREAD
Pastor Samson’s Palm Sunday message centers on Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the King who comes in peace, fulfilling prophecy and inviting people to respond while the offer of salvation is still available. Through three key scenes during Holy Week, he highlights how the humble (Galilean crowds), the weak (children), and even the King himself cry out—showing us the importance of public praise, deep personal faith, and a heart for the lost. His challenge to us this Easter season is urgent: cry out to Jesus through personal surrender and baptism, and cry out for Him by boldly sharing the good news because the time is short and the King has come. Listen and be challenged.
Pastor Rodney’s sermon, Developing a Healthy Heart, illustrates that just like the physical heart needs care, our spiritual heart must also be nurtured through intentional habits. He highlights four key traits of a healthy heart: a hungry heart that longs for God, a humble heart that surrenders to Him, a hopeful heart that trusts His promises, and a holy heart that lives set apart. Using examples from Scripture and everyday life, we are challenged to examine the condition of our hearts and realign them with God’s will, reminding us that while physical heart damage may be irreversible, God can renew and transform our spiritual hearts. Listen and be challenged.
Pastor Rodney’s sermon emphasizes that to fear the Lord means to honor, obey, and trust Him completely—believing He is good, just, and sovereign over all. Drawing from Deuteronomy 10 and other scriptures, he explains that fearing God leads to a changed heart, wholehearted devotion, and a life that reflects God’s love and justice. Pastor Rodney also warns that without true fear of God, we risk raising a generation that knows about God but doesn’t know Him—and the only remedy is deep, reverent surrender that starts in the heart.

Pastor Christian’s sermon, "Stop Blaming Others", challenges us to stop shifting blame and start taking responsibility for our lives. Using Moses as an example, he showed how blame can lead to bitterness, keep us stuck in the past, and cause us to miss out on God’s blessings. Instead, we’re called to repent, own our actions, and move forward in obedience, knowing that healing and growth begin with accountability. Listen and be challenged.
Pastor Samson's sermon from Numbers chapters 22 through 25 entitled, "Why Couldn't Balaam Curse Israel?" reminds us that we cannot be cursed because we are blessed and set apart by God, carrying the presence of Christ within us. While the enemy may try to attack us from the outside with accusations and from the inside with temptation, our assurance is in knowing that we belong to God and have already won through Jesus. We are called to stand firm, live holy lives, and walk in the confidence that Christ in us is our hope and victory. Listen and be challenged.
In week one of our new collection of talk, "A Common Thread", Pastor Rodney's sermon, Choose the Cloud, emphasizes the importance of following God's presence, just as the Israelites followed the cloud by day and fire by night. He warns against the dangers of complaining, which stems from unbelief and leads to consequences like wandering and wasted potential, urging us to surround ourselves with God’s Word and His people. Instead of complaining and trying to control circumstances, we should cultivate gratitude, trust, and obedience, allowing God to lead us into His blessings. Listen and be challenged.
