Pastor Joshua Paul · Jun 22, 2026
In Romans 6 and 7, Paul honestly confesses that even devoted followers of Jesus battle an inner war between what they want to do and what they actually do. Pastor Joshua argues that this struggle is not evidence of God's absence but of His active, refining work. The war within is real, it reveals what is ruling us, it refines our character, and ultimately redirects our attention to the only true answer: Jesus Christ and the victory He has already won at the cross.

God intentionally places mentors in our lives to call out the greatness He has already put within us. Just as Samuel saw, anointed, and protected David when no one else believed in him, every believer needs a person of integrity, wisdom, and backbone who is a season ahead of them — someone who can see what others miss, provide refuge in the storm, and speak hard truth with love. And those who have been poured into carry a responsibility to turn around and do the same for the generation coming up behind them.
Pastor Daniel Goulding · May 7, 2025
Drawing from Matthew 8, Pastor Daniel shows that following Jesus does not exempt us from storms — in fact, Jesus sometimes leads us directly into them. The disciples' terror on the Sea of Galilee was not an accident but a purposeful test designed to grow their faith from small to strong. When they finally cried out, Jesus calmed the storm instantly, leaving them awestruck and asking the most important question anyone can answer: 'Who is this man?' The sermon calls us to bring whatever little faith we have to Jesus, trust His presence in the boat with us, and watch Him turn our messes into miracles.
