  • The One Rule That Changes Everything | Matthew 7:12
    Mar 23 2026

    What if one command could transform every part of your life?

    In this message from Matthew 7:12, we explore Jesus’ words:

    “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”

    This isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a foundation for how we live, love, and follow Jesus every day.

    From your workplace to your marriage, your friendships to your private life, this teaching challenges everything:

    • Why we struggle to live it out
    • How selfishness gets in the way
    • What it actually looks like in real life
    • And how Jesus modeled it perfectly
    “The golden rule isn’t about avoiding wrong—it’s about initiating good.”

    If you’ve ever thought, “Someone should step up,” this message is simple:

    You’re up.

  • Courage, Faith, and Grit
    Mar 16 2026

    In this message from Matthew 7, we explore Jesus’ invitation to a deeper kind of faith—one marked by courage, honesty, and perseverance.

    Jesus tells us to ask, seek, and knock, but what does that really look like in everyday life?

    Through powerful stories like blind Bartimaeus and the persistent widow, we see that faith isn’t passive. It’s honest prayer, active pursuit, and perseverance that refuses to give up.

    In this sermon, we talk about:

    • Why we often stop ourselves from asking God
    • What it means to put “feet on our prayers”
    • How persistence shapes a gritty, resilient faith

    God isn’t distant or uninterested in your life.
    He invites you to bring your needs honestly and trust that He is ready to respond.

  • Holy Words In Hostile Places
    Mar 9 2026

    In this message from Gospel of Matthew 7:1–6, we explore one of Jesus’ most misunderstood teachings—judging others, removing the “log” from our own eyes, and understanding what He meant by “pearls before pigs.”

    Jesus first calls us to humility. Before we correct others, we must examine our own hearts and remove pride, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness.

    But once our vision is clear, we’re called to bring God’s truth into everyday life—our workplaces, schools, families, and communities. The challenge is that not everyone welcomes truth. Some respond with hostility, mockery, or contempt.

    This message explores how followers of Jesus can live with both boldness and discernment—sharing truth with grace, knowing when to step forward, and knowing when to step back.

  • The Great Do Nots
    Mar 1 2026

    In this message from the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus’ challenging words: “Judge not.” What does He really mean — and what does He not mean?

    This sermon unpacks the difference between discernment and condemnation, truth and hypocrisy, correction and compassion. In a culture that rushes to criticize, cancel, and catalog every failure, Jesus calls His followers to something radically different: gentleness, humility, and mercy.

    We are reminded that:

    • The measure we use will be measured back to us.
    • Hypocrisy undermines authentic faith.
    • Restoration must begin with self-examination.
    • Forgiven people should be the quickest to forgive.

    What if the church became known not for exposing failures — but for healing them?

    Listen in and be challenged to remove the log, extend grace, and live the mercy we’ve received.

  • The Word on Worry
    Feb 22 2026

    In this powerful and deeply personal message from the Sermon on the Mount, Dave DeSelm explores Jesus’ command: “Do not worry about your life.”

    Why is worry so common? Where does it come from? And what does Jesus actually offer us instead?

    Drawing from Matthew 6 and real-life experience — including a recent stage four cancer diagnosis — Dave shares two simple but life-changing practices:

    • Admit it.
    • Release it.

    You may not control tomorrow.
    But you can trust God with today.

    If you’ve been living in anxiety about what might happen next, this message will gently bring you back to what matters most: the Father who sees you, hears you, and cares for you.

  • One Master
    Feb 16 2026

    Jesus didn’t say serve God most — He said serve God alone. This sermon walks through Matthew 6:24 and the life of King Josiah to show why divided loyalty keeps us stuck and how surrender leads to freedom.
