This sermon challenges modern skepticism toward authority and calls the church to joyfully embrace God’s design for leadership—for the good of the church, the strengthening of the saints, and the glory of Christ, the Chief Shepherd.

What is biblical authority, and how does it shape the roles of elders and deacons in the local church? In this sermon, we dive deep into 1 Peter 5:1-5 to unpack the God-given structure of church leadership, the responsibility of elders to shepherd, and the role of deacons to serve.

What does true revival look like? In this sermon, we trace the story of Nehemiah 10—a moment when Israel renewed their covenant with God, pledging to walk in obedience, uphold worship, and separate themselves from the world. Yet, despite their sincerity, their revival ultimately failed. The temple was rebuilt, but God’s glory never returned. The Law was restored, but the people still broke it. The walls were secured, but they could not keep sin out.

But four hundred years later, Christ came—not to rebuild what would crumble, but to establish a revival that would never fail.

Where Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah labored and fell short, Jesus Christ succeeded. He is the true Temple, the fulfillment of the Law, and the foundation of the eternal Kingdom. And through Him, we are now the covenant people of God—the revival that will never fade.

What does it mean to live an intentional Christian life? Is the Christian walk something that simply happens to us, or are we called to actively pursue it? In this sermon, we dive into Philippians 2:12-13, where the Apostle Paul exhorts us to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling” because “it is God who works in us.”
