  • Who Is Jesus?: What Is The Kingdom? (Ken LaMont) E01
    Apr 12 2026

    In this introduction to a new series on the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus' revolutionary "Kingdom Manifesto"—a blueprint for what it looks like when God's rule and reign are lived out in our daily lives. With just 107 verses, this sermon has influenced history more than any other teaching, challenging figures from Gandhi to Tolstoy. But as John Stott noted, it remains "the most well known, the least understood, and the least obeyed" of all Jesus' teachings.

    This message sets the stage for understanding that the Sermon on the Mount isn't how we achieve salvation—it's how we demonstrate it. Jesus calls us to a monumental paradigm shift from the world's definition of success to life under His Kingdom rule. Over this series, we'll move beyond merely hearing Jesus' words to actively putting them into practice, discovering what it means to live as citizens of God's Kingdom here and now.

  • Easter: Power of the Resurrection (Ken LaMont)
    Apr 5 2026

    This Easter message celebrates the transformative power of Christ's resurrection and what it means for our lives today. Through the illustration of Wellington's victory at Waterloo and the discovery of the empty tomb, this sermon explores how Jesus defeated death, sin, and shame. Just as the people of London's mourning turned to joy when they saw the full message—"Wellington Defeated Napoleon"—our despair turns to hope when we understand that "Jesus Christ Defeated Death."

    Discover how the resurrection changes everything by: forgiving your past, empowering your present through the same Spirit that raised Jesus, and securing your future with eternal hope. If the tomb is empty, everything is going to be alright.

  • Palm Sunday (Juan Palomino)
    Mar 29 2026

    On Palm Sunday, crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem expecting a political revolutionary who would overthrow Rome. Instead, Jesus came as a spiritual savior riding humbly on a donkey toward the cross. This message explores the powerful symbols of Palm Sunday—the donkey, palm branches, and the cry "Hosanna"—revealing how Jesus had something far greater in mind than temporary rescue from oppression. He came to offer eternal salvation from sin and death. Pastor Juan challenges us to adopt Christ's mindset of humility, obedience, sacrifice, and love, calling every believer to be His ambassador by inviting others to experience the life-changing message of Easter.
