×February 9, 2025 Ephesians 1:4-5 Romans 8:15-16 Ephesians 2:19-20 Pastor Gene’s sermon emphasizes the importance of community and belonging in God’s family. He begins by illustrating how dogs instinctively seek closeness, comparing this to God’s design for humanity—we were never meant to do life alone. He references Genesis, where God declares it is not good for man to be alone, extending this beyond marriage to emphasize the necessity of spiritual family. Drawing from Ephesians 1, Pastor Gene highlights how God has adopted believers into His family out of love and not obligation. He explains that in Roman culture, adoption was primarily about passing down an inheritance, just as God desires to share His blessings with His children. He reminds the congregation that God has “drafted” them onto His team, choosing them with purpose. Pastor Gene stresses that God is a good father, contrasting Him with imperfect earthly parents. He encourages the church to let go of past hurts and not project their disappointments onto God, who is always faithful and present. He references Romans 8:15-16, emphasizing that as adopted children, believers can confidently call God “Abba, Father.” The sermon also underscores that being part of God’s family means being part of the church. He challenges listeners to move from being mere consumers to active contributors, participating in the church’s mission. He likens church to a family meal rather than a restaurant—where everyone contributes rather than simply consuming. In closing, Pastor Gene invites the congregation to embrace their spiritual family, serve together, and live with the identity of being chosen, loved, and supported by both God and their fellow believers. He encourages them to move from acquaintances to family, concluding with a declaration: “We Are Family.”…
February 2, 2025 Ephesians 1:11 Colossians 3:1 Revelation 21:3-4 Ephesians 1:14 Pastor Gene’s sermon uses vivid analogies and scriptural teachings to encourage believers to focus on the eternal promises of heaven and their inheritance through Christ. He begins by comparing the excitement for an upcoming concert or game to the joy Christians should feel about the “good news” of the gospel. This revelation should lead to a mindset of blessing and positivity, despite life’s challenges. Drawing from Ephesians 1:11 and other scriptures, Pastor Gene emphasizes the spiritual inheritance believers receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He notes that, like earthly inheritances given in stages, part of this divine inheritance is experienced now, while the fullness awaits us in eternity. Key points of the sermon include: Setting Sight on Heaven: Pastor Gene contrasts misconceptions of heaven (such as floating on clouds) with biblical descriptions of a vibrant, purposeful place reminiscent of Eden. Heaven is depicted as a city with streets of gold, rivers, and meaningful work tied to purpose. New Realities in Heaven: Believers can look forward to a new home, new bodies free from pain, joyful work, and reunions with loved ones and biblical figures. Adjusting Perspective: Inspired by a story of Mike Tyson’s resilience, Pastor Gene urges listeners to adopt a “win even in loss” attitude by remembering that earthly trials are temporary compared to heavenly glory. Holding onto the Spirit as a Guarantee: The Spirit of God is described as a down payment of the inheritance that awaits believers, reminding them that this world is not their home.…
January 26, 2025 Ephesians 1:9-10 Ephesians 1:11-12 Ephesians 2:10 1 Corinthians 10:31 Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on the theme of hope, trust, and recognizing God’s plan for our lives. Key points included: The Need for Hope: Just as the body requires essentials like food, water, and air, the soul requires hope to survive. Pastor Gene emphasized that losing hope leads to despair, while faith in Jesus provides a resilient source of hope. God’s Plan and Authority: Referencing Ephesians 1, Pastor Gene taught that God has a plan for everyone, a plan that is good and cannot be thwarted by circumstances, governments, or hardships. He emphasized the importance of submitting to the authority of Christ, as blessings and spiritual fulfillment flow from that submission. Trusting God’s Timing: He highlighted that God works according to His timing, not ours, and that faith requires trusting God’s plan even when life “stinks” or doesn’t make sense. Living as God’s Masterpiece: Pastor Gene reminded listeners that they are uniquely crafted by God for good works (Ephesians 2:10). He encourages you to stop speaking negatively about yourself, as doing so is like criticizing God’s masterpiece. Being the Good News: The pastor stressed that Christian responsibility extends beyond Sunday worship. Followers of Christ are called to live with excellence and kindness in their daily lives—at work, school, and in the community—becoming living testimonies of God’s love. Practical Faith: He urges the congregation to focus less on overcomplicated spiritual tests and more on simply doing good works and embodying the good news of Jesus.…
January 19, 2025 Ephesians 1:19-20 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 Ephesians 1:21-22 Ephesians 3:14-16 This week’s sermon centers on the theme of recognizing and embracing the blessings God has already bestowed upon us, even during challenging times. Key Points: Acknowledging Blessings : Pastor Gene emphasized that believers are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ, which should inspire peace and joy regardless of circumstances. Power in Struggles : God’s power, the same that raised Jesus from the dead, is available to help believers navigate life’s difficulties. Struggles and challenges are a part of life, but God’s strength allows believers to not only survive but thrive. Faith and Renewal : Emotional, spiritual, and physical fatigue can be revitalized through God’s presence and power. Believers are encouraged to walk by faith and not by sight, trusting in God’s plan even when clarity is lacking. Resilience : The sermon included anecdotes and scripture (e.g., 2 Corinthians 4:7-9) to illustrate that being “knocked down” by life’s hardships does not equate to being destroyed. Believers should focus on how often they rise after being knocked down, drawing on God’s strength. Practical Steps : Admit when you’re struggling and seek God. Refuse to give up in the face of difficulties. Praise God in the midst of problems, acknowledging His sovereignty and power. Encouragement and Hope : Pastor Gene reminded listeners that God uses pressure to shape faith, realign priorities, and foster dependence on Him. Resurrection power, the hope of the gospel, and God’s presence provide assurance that believers are never alone. The sermon encourages listeners to rely on God’s strength during trials, celebrate His blessings, and remain steadfast in their faith journey.…
January 12, 2025 Ephesians 1:3-4 Ephesians 1:7-8 Ephesians 2:8-9 James 1:20 https://fb.watch/xcipC1UoN3/ Pastor Gene’s sermon emphasizes the transformative power of God’s grace and mercy, contrasting human tendencies to earn favor with God’s gift of salvation, which is freely given. Using personal anecdotes, he highlights the joy of receiving undeserved mercy, likening it to being forgiven a penalty by law enforcement. The central message revolves around Ephesians 1 and 2, where Paul describes believers as “already blessed” with every spiritual blessing through unity with Christ. Pastor Gene stresses that salvation is a gift, not a reward for good deeds, and that Jesus “came down the ladder” to bring forgiveness to humanity. This realization, he argues, should lead to a life of gratitude, service, and love. Key takeaways include: Receiving Forgiveness : Understand that God’s forgiveness is unearned and complete. Practicing Forgiveness : Forgive others as God forgave us, resisting anger and offense in a divisive world. Living Blessed : Recognize and live in the assurance of God’s love, grace, and eternal promise, regardless of circumstances.…
January 5, 2025 Ephesians 1:3-4 Ephesians 3:19 Romans 8:38-39 1 Peter 2:9 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer January 6th-26th 3 Corporate times of prayer & worship : Wednesday 8th – 6:00pm to 7:00pm Wednesday 15th – 6:00pm to 7:00pm Wednesday 22nd – 6:00pm to 7:00pm Pastor Gene’s sermon revolves around the theme “Blessed,” which he introduces as the church’s focus for the new year. He emphasizes that true blessing transcends material possessions and resides in spiritual blessings provided by God. Here are the key points from the sermon: Definition of Blessing : Blessing is described as “God’s divine favor working in our lives.” Material blessings are temporary, while spiritual blessings bring security, purpose, and fulfillment in all areas of life. Spiritual vs. Material Focus : Pastor Gene encourages prioritizing spiritual blessings over material ones. Spiritual blessings provide a foundation that sustains life through all circumstances, including hardships. Paul’s Example : Drawing from Ephesians 1:3–4, Pastor Gene highlights the Apostle Paul’s declaration of being blessed with every spiritual blessing, even while imprisoned and stripped of all material possessions. This underscores the sufficiency of spiritual blessings in any situation. Core Spiritual Blessings : Being Loved : God’s love is unconditional, not based on performance, and was established before creation. It is secure, unstoppable, and the ultimate source of fulfillment. Being Chosen : Believers are chosen by God, a truth that should inspire humility and gratitude. This choice signifies being part of God’s family and reflects His intentional love. Application for 2025 : Pastor Gene challenges the congregation to open their eyes to recognize and embrace the spiritual blessings they already possess. He calls for a shift in focus from external validation to internal contentment rooted in God’s love and choice. Over the next 21 days, he invites members to meditate on these blessings and experience a transformative realization of being “already blessed, loved, and chosen.” Call to Faith : The sermon concludes with an invitation for those who haven’t yet accepted Jesus to embrace His love and forgiveness, affirming that this relationship is the greatest blessing one can receive. The sermon inspires a perspective change, urging listeners to prioritize spiritual fulfillment and live with the assurance of God’s unwavering love and blessings.…
December 1, 2024 Matthew 13:10-14 Matthew 13:16 Matthew 13:44-46 Matthew 13:44 Matthew 13:45-46 Romans 1:25 Psalm 34:8 Philippians 3:8 Luke 14:33 The sermon by Pastor Gene, part of the “Jesus Stories” series, focuses on the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value (Matthew 13:44-46). These parables emphasize the incomparable worth of the Kingdom of Heaven, likened to a treasure or a pearl that one should be willing to give up everything to obtain. Key Themes: The Kingdom’s Value : The Kingdom of Heaven is the greatest treasure one can discover. It offers salvation, a relationship with God, and eternal life. Heart and Perspective : Jesus taught in parables to reveal truths to those with open hearts while concealing them from others. Understanding the Kingdom requires a willing and receptive heart. Two Approaches : One parable describes a man stumbling upon the treasure unexpectedly, illustrating how some find the Kingdom by chance or through divine intervention. The other describes a merchant searching for pearls, symbolizing those actively seeking spiritual truth. Cost of the Kingdom : Obtaining the Kingdom requires giving everything. This mirrors the call to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul. The Trade : Believers are encouraged to “make the trade,” surrendering worldly values and temporary pleasures for the eternal treasures of God’s Kingdom. Application : Recognize the distractions of “fake treasures” like materialism, fleeting pleasures, or shallow pursuits. Embrace the joy and fulfillment found in the Kingdom. Share this treasure with others, especially during the Christmas season, when the focus is on Christ’s coming as the ultimate gift. Pastor Gene’s Challenge: This Christmas, prioritize the Kingdom of God above the hustle and materialism. Share the joy of the Gospel by inviting others to experience the treasure of a relationship with Christ. Invitation: Pastor Gene concludes by inviting listeners to surrender their lives to Jesus, making the ultimate trade: giving up their lives for the abundant life Jesus offers.…
November 24, 2024 Matthew 18:21-22 Matthew 18:23-27 Matthew 18:28-30 Matthew 18:31 Matthew 18:32-34 Matthew 18:35 This sermon emphasizes the transformative power of forgiveness through the lens of biblical teaching. The message begins with a reference to Joey Chestnut’s hot dog-eating records, drawing a parallel to overindulgence during Thanksgiving. However, the core of the sermon transitions to the topic of forgiveness, inspired by Peter’s question to Jesus in Matthew 18:21-22 about how many times one should forgive others. Unconditional Forgiveness : Jesus’ response to Peter—”70 times 7″—illustrates that forgiveness is not about a specific count but should be a continuous act for believers. The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant : Pastor Gene highlights the hypocrisy of the servant forgiven of an immense debt but unwilling to forgive a minor one. This serves as a reminder that forgiven people must also forgive others. The Burden of Unforgiveness : Holding on to bitterness and resentment affects mental, physical, and spiritual health. Jesus bore the weight of sin on the cross so that believers wouldn’t have to carry such burdens. Practical Application : Forgiveness is not necessarily about reconciliation or allowing harmful people back into one’s life but about releasing personal hurt and placing judgment in God’s hands. This leads to freedom and healing for the forgiver. Living Like Jesus : Pastor Gene encourages believers to embody forgiveness, grace, and humility as Jesus did, especially toward those who may not deserve it. The sermon includes a story about a woman who forgave her estranged father, leading to his salvation and a reconciled relationship before his passing. This underscores the spiritual impact of forgiveness. The message concludes with a call for introspection, urging the congregation to release their burdens to God and embrace the freedom that comes with forgiveness.…
November 17, 2024 Matthew 25:14-15 Matthew 25:16-18 Matthew 25:19 2 Corinthians 3:13-15 Matthew 25:20-23 Matthew 25:24-30 Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on the parable of the talents (Matthew 25), emphasizing the importance of how we invest our lives for God’s kingdom. Key themes include: 1. Life as a Stewardship Responsibility Everything we have—our resources, time, talents, and relationships—belongs to God. We are managers, not owners. Faithful stewardship involves using these gifts for God’s purposes, not merely for personal gain. 2. Eternal Accountability We will all give an account to God for how we managed what He entrusted to us. This judgment will not be about our sins (which Christ has already paid for) but about how we invested our lives. The rewards are eternal, based on how well we used our resources to glorify God and serve others. 3. The Risks and Rewards of Faith The first two servants in the parable took risks, multiplying what was entrusted to them. They were commended by their master: “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Conversely, the third servant, who played it safe, was rebuked for his inaction. Faith requires taking risks for God, whether through sharing the gospel, serving, or giving sacrificially. 4. Practical Application Pastor Gene encourages believers to reevaluate their lives and take bold steps to invest in God’s kingdom. This might mean serving others, stepping out of comfort zones, or using resources creatively for eternal impact. Closing Challenge Pastor Gene calls for a shift in mindset from “owner” to “manager” and inspires the congregation to live boldly for Christ, knowing their faithful investment will yield both earthly and eternal rewards.…
November 10, 2024 Luke 10:25-28 Luke 10:29 Luke 10:30 Luke 10:31-32 Luke 10:33-35 Luke 10:36-37 This sermon focuses on the concept of the “Jesus code,” which calls Christians to surpass personal and cultural codes of conduct and act with compassion, even toward those who have wronged or opposed them. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37, Pastor Gene illustrates how Jesus redefines what it means to love one’s neighbor—not just loving those who are similar or kind to us but extending grace and generosity to our enemies and those who challenge or inconvenience us. The sermon emphasizes three main points: The Villain as the Hero : In Jesus’ story, the Samaritan—an enemy of the Jews—becomes the unexpected hero, challenging the audience’s biases and assumptions about who is worthy of compassion. Compassion Over Contempt : The Samaritan’s compassion, despite cultural enmity, reflects the type of radical love Jesus calls His followers to exhibit. Empathy Leading to Action : The Samaritan’s response goes beyond feeling pity; it leads to tangible and costly acts of service and care, contrasting with the inaction of the priest and Levite. Pastor Gene shares personal stories to drive home the message, including an instance of helping a rival church and aiding a homeless man, demonstrating that living by the Jesus code requires sacrificial and unconditional love. The sermon closes with a challenge to the congregation: examine personal codes and be willing to adopt Jesus’ way of loving even the most difficult individuals, echoing Christ’s example of forgiving and loving humanity despite their sins.…
November 3, 2024 The sermon by Pastor Gene focuses on the power of prayer, emphasizing three main lessons: The sermon concludes with an invitation to surrender to Christ and trust in His power and compassion, urging believers to make prayer their first resort and approach God with a sincere heart.
