Finding Refuge in the Righteous Judge When Wronged
Psalm 7 What do you do with the anger that rises up when you’ve been falsely accused or deeply wronged? In this message, Pastor Ben Khazraee unpacks how godly anger differs from bitterness, why God’s wrath against evil is good news for the wronged, and how to cultivate thankfulness even before justice is fully seen.
God Brings Light to the Gentiles Through Peter
Acts 9:32-10:33 Long-standing walls between insiders and outsiders can keep people from ever hearing they’re welcome — but it sometimes takes a healing, a resurrection, and a startling vision to bring those walls down. In this message, Jason Southerland traces Peter’s journey through Lydda, Joppa, and Caesarea, showing how God used miracles and a vision of unclean animals to prepare Peter to carry the gospel to Cornelius and the Gentile world.
Be Angry and Do Not Sin
Ephesians 4:26-27 Anger isn’t always sin — but most of the anger we carry has nothing to do with God and everything to do with wounded pride. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores the difference between righteous, God-centered anger and selfish, fleshly anger, and shows why believers are called to deal with their anger quickly before it gives a foothold to the enemy.
Laying Aside Falsehood: Truth-Telling in the New Self
Ephesians 4:25 Lying is so woven into daily life that most people do it without even noticing — but what if a community was defined instead by truth? In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores why honesty is one of the clearest marks of a transformed life, unpacks the hidden motives — fear, pride, self-protection — behind why people shade the truth, and shows how truthful speech builds up rather than damages the people we’re connected to.
Conversion of Saul (Part 2)
Acts 9:19-31 Real change doesn’t end the moment someone believes — it’s often followed by unexpected seasons of waiting, setbacks, and hard-won growth before a person is ready for what’s next. In this message, Josh Hollingsworth traces the early days after Saul’s conversion, showing how God used fellowship, bold proclamation, rejection, and years of hidden preparation to shape him for ministry, and how that same pattern of grace is at work in every believer’s life.
Putting Off, Putting On: The Transformed Life in Christ
Ephesians 4:20-24 What really happens the moment a person becomes a Christian — is it a decision, a feeling, or something far deeper? In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton unpacks the radical transformation of salvation, showing how the old self is put to death and a new self is created in righteousness, and why believers still wrestle with sin even after being made new.
Conversion of Saul (Part 1)
Acts 9:1–19 We all know someone who seems too hostile, too hardened, or too far from God to ever come around — but what if no one is actually beyond his reach? In this message, Josh Hollingsworth traces the dramatic conversion of Saul from a violent persecutor of the church to a humbled servant of Christ, showing how God confronts sin, brings genuine humility, and delights in turning his enemies into instruments for building his church.
The Hardness of the Human Heart
Ephesians 4:18-19 Why does society seem increasingly unashamed of behavior it once considered shameful? The answer lies not in outside forces, but in the hardened human heart, which grows numb to sin the longer it resists the truth. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton unpacks the biblical doctrine of total depravity, explains how a callous conscience leads to unrestrained sensuality, and points to the only remedy — the transforming grace found in Christ.
The Ethiopian’s Road to Faith
Acts 8:26-40 Sharing your faith can feel intimidating, but what if the hardest parts of the conversation aren’t actually up to you? This message traces the story of an unlikely roadside encounter to show how faith takes root when ordinary people simply point others to Jesus. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores how God orchestrates divine appointments, uses everyday believers as His instruments, and lets His word do the transforming work in a person’s heart.
Darkened Minds and Lifeless Souls: An Autopsy of the Unregenerate Heart
Ephesians 4:18 Something has gone deeply wrong with the human mind — not by accident, but by willful choice — and it shapes everything about how people see the world, themselves, and God. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton explores how spiritual blindness leads to a futile worldview, why suppressing the truth about God is never innocent ignorance, and why only God can restore the life and light the soul was made for.
Threats to the Church: How the Gospel Triumphs Over Persecution and Deception
Acts 8:1-25 When opposition comes from the outside and corruption threatens from within, the church faces its greatest tests — and reveals its greatest strength. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton traces two major threats to the early church in Acts 8, showing how both Saul’s fierce persecution and Simon the magician’s counterfeit faith were ultimately powerless to stop the gospel from spreading into new cities and cultures.
Walking No Longer in the Futility of the World
Ephesians 4:17 Every person operates from a worldview — a lens that shapes how they see reality, meaning, and morality — and the dominant worldview of our age is one that leaves people aimless, empty, and sinking. In this message, Pastor Rod Bunton shows how the gospel frees believers from the futile mindset of a culture that has rejected God, calls them to live from their new identity in Christ, and challenges them to take every competing philosophy captive to…
