As we jump back into our Gospel of John series, we unpack the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit in John 16. In this passage, we see clearly that the Holy Spirit “helps” by convicting unbelievers and convincing believers of the truth. Jesus tells His disciples that the Spirit will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. At the same time, the Holy Spirit guides believers into truth—shaping our theology, eschatology, and Christology. Because of the Helper, the Spirit of truth, we can be confident in discerning and holding fast to the truths of God.

As we conclude our vision-casting series, we turn our attention to Pluslife’s mission to reflect Christ’s love. To do this, we look to the apostle Peter’s first epistle and his call for believers to love earnestly. From this passage, we are encouraged to strive for unity; setting aside sin and strife in order to love one another well. We are also called to serve with joy, willingly offering our gifts to minister to others. Finally, we are reminded to suffer like Christ, imitating our Savior as He willingly endured the cost of loving a sinful people. By following these exhortations, we can be sure that we are giving our all for the sake of the Kingdom and the Gospel.

In the second sermon of our vision-casting series, we examine what it means to have our lives revolve around Christ. We turn to the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians, where he declares that “Christ is all, and in all.” From this passage, we are reminded to slay what is earthly by putting to death our former way of living. As we do so, we are freed to seek what is heavenly, pursuing sanctification through the renewal of our minds. Finally, we see that we are called to surrender to the love and word of Christ, allowing it to lead and transform us. By practicing these things, we can be confident that our lives revolve around Christ, as we give Him our all.

As we begin our vision-casting series, we examine the attitudes and perspectives we are to have as we strive to reach people with the Gospel. We look to the Apostle Paul and his motivations in 1 Corinthians 9, where we see that he shared the Gospel out of necessity; like him, we are called to steward the Gospel faithfully. Paul also approached his audience with humility, communicating the Gospel at their level. Finally, Paul strove for glory—not the honor of this life, but the honor of being a faithful servant of Christ in the life to come. Like the Apostle Paul, we must give our all for the sake of the Gospel.

As we close off 2025 and look toward the new year, we do not seek something new, but the ancient paths that lead to rest. We examine Jeremiah 6 and God’s call to Biblical orthodoxy, returning to sound doctrine through careful study of His Word. This leads to radical orthopathy—a profound transformation of the affections toward the things of God. The fruit of this transformation is evangelical orthopraxy: a sincere effort at obedience, rooted in grace when we fall short. The new year does not require innovative methods to grow in our walk with God, but rather faithful observance of these ancient paths.

As we conclude our Advent series, we examine the final theme of love and answer the question: Why is it a love like no other? We discuss how God’s love is the example, the standard for all other loves. It's also an expensive love, for it cost God His Son. Finally, we discuss how God’s love expiates believers from sin; it deals with the very thing that separates us from the love of God. During this holiday season, we celebrate God’s great gift of love through His Son, Jesus Christ.

In a world marked by apathy, Jesus calls His disciples to real joy. John 15:9 -11 shows that apathy begins where obedience ends, grows when we abide in ourselves, and dies when Christ’s joy fills us. Our culture reflects the fruit of apathy: weak men, moral confusion, collapsing families, and churches drifting toward comfort. Advent proclaims that joy has entered the darkness through Christ’s incarnation, obedience, sacrifice, resurrection, and reign. He invites apathetic hearts to awaken, abide in His love, keep His commands, and receive His joy which is full, supernatural, and unshakeable. Christ brings joy for an apathetic world.

As we celebrate the second week of Advent, we unpack the “peace” that Jesus brings with His first appearing. We see that it is a promised peace—foretold since the fall of man. We have seen that it is also a peculiar peace, in that it is undeserved yet still offered to sinful humanity. Finally, it is a present peace, one that is with us today even in the midst of trials. The peace that the advent of Christ brings is not the absence of problems, but His presence in the midst of them.

We will be exploring the unique nature of Christ's birth from Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:46-55, and how Jesus' birth provides us with a hope like no other.

Continuing our mini-series on the armour of God, we turn to the remaining pieces that equip believers to stand firm against the cosmic powers of the enemy. To stand, we must take up the shield of faith, clinging to the truths and promises of God. We must be secured by the helmet of salvation, guarding our minds with the hope we have in our Savior. We are to be sharpened by the Word of God— not merely knowing it, but applying it. And finally, we are to supplicate for all the saints, strengthening one another through prayer. Against such cosmic powers, the believer’s only hope is the power of God.

In this mini-series, we unpack what it means to don the armor of God as we stand against the “cosmic powers” that rule this present age. In addition to setting the stage for this battlefield, this sermon explores the first three pieces of the armor of God: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes made ready by the gospel of peace. We must be girded with the truth of God, guarded by His righteousness, and galvanized to share the gospel. As the people of God, we are called to wade through the darkness of this world, bringing forth the light of the Kingdom.

In this sermon, we examine the Tenth Commandment: “You shall not covet.” This command reaches beyond actions to the desires of the heart. First, God calls us to protect our hearts, for coveting begins with misplaced desire and discontent. Second, we must practice gratitude, trusting God’s goodness and rejoicing in what He provides. Finally, we are to pursue heavenly treasures, setting our affections on Christ rather than the passing things of this world. True obedience flows from a heart content in God alone.

In this sermon, we examine the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness.” As we unpack its meaning, we discover that this commandment applies to all our interactions with others. First, God calls His people to speak with honesty, accuracy, and fairness—never distorting the truth or judging without knowledge. Second, Christians must courageously uphold the truth in a world that suppresses it, defending what is right even when it is costly. Finally, God commands that our speech build up and bless others. As believers, we are called to be lovers of the truth, guarding ourselves from every form of falsehood.

Continuing our series on the Ten Commandments, we now turn to the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not steal.” We saw that committing theft reveals a lack of willingness to work and a failure to trust in God’s providence, all the while coveting what is not ours. Therefore, to be faithful to this command, we must remember to work diligently, as Scripture calls us to do. We are also reminded to give generously—fighting the urge to take by choosing instead to bless others. Finally, we must trust the Lord and practice contentment, recognizing that everything we have comes from His hand. Thus, we are to be satisfied with what the Lord provides and not covet what is not ours.

Continuing our Ten Commandments series, this sermon focuses on the Seventh Commandment — the call not to commit adultery. As we unpacked this command, we saw that its scope extends far beyond marital fidelity; it reaches into the realm of the heart and the spiritual life. We discovered that fulfilling this command begins with seeking spiritual satisfaction in the Lord, for only He can curb the desires of the flesh. Secondly, we must slay every hint of sin, taking a radical and uncompromising approach to purity. Finally, Scripture calls us to stay steadfast with our spouse, enduring and working through the trials of marriage with covenant faithfulness. As our Savior teaches, adultery begins in the heart — therefore, we must root out the seeds of unfaithfulness before they take root and bloom.
