This sermon emphasizes the gospel’s power to create deep, life-giving relationships within the Christian community. Drawing from Psalm 133, it highlights how unity among believers is a blessing comparable to salvation itself. The message challenges three lies that hinder true community: that unity is only found in romance, that it requires sameness, and that it should come easily. Instead, it encourages believers to fight for relational richness as a key part of living fully in Christ.

This sermon reframes obedience not as a burdensome checklist, but as a joyful path to flourishing. It teaches that disobedience often begins with internal voices—fear, pleasure, inadequacy, false wisdom, or self—that challenge God’s word. Using the story of Saul and the Amalekites, it emphasizes that only God’s voice leads to life. True obedience flows from trusting in God’s goodness and believing that Jesus is better than anything else, with the focus not on perfection, but on dependence.

This sermon explores what it means to be "fully alive" by embracing our identity as servants of Christ. The speaker contrasts worldly identity with the security found in God’s love, which frees believers to serve others. Using Jesus’ example from John 13 and Luke 22, he emphasizes that true greatness and joy come from laying down our lives for others. The message concludes by urging listeners to see themselves through God’s eyes and express their faith through intentional acts of service.

This sermon examines idolatry as anything that takes God’s place in our hearts—whether comfort, control, approval, or power. Drawing from the story of the Philistines and the Ark, it shows how even good things can become destructive idols. The message reminds listeners that only a relationship with God leads to true joy and life.
