The Bible is essentially one big ( epic and true ) story.

This week, Kevin talks about the final book of the Bible; Revelation.

It's not a book with a secret code to crack.  It's more of a powerful picture of hope.  It's the assurance of God’s victory, His renewal, and the ending He’s been writing from the very beginning.

If you’ve ever wondered how the story of the Bible ends, don’t miss this message. ...

What would you say if you had one last letter to write? 

In his final days, imprisoned in a cold, dark Roman dungeon, the Apostle Paul wrote one last letter to his close friend Timothy - a message filled with affection, conviction, and a call to courageous faith. This week, Kevin talks about that final charge: be strong, endure hardship, and keep the faith. 

In a world that often trades truth for comfort, Paul’s last...

In this episode, Kevin speaks on Acts 6 and talks about how God designed His Church to work together — with every believer taking ownership of the mission.

Because the Church doesn’t grow through spectators… it grows through servants.
 When we serve, the dust starts to rise — and Heaven gets filled up.

Listen now to “The Group Project” — a message about teamwork, calling, and the joy of serving in God’s Kingdom.

Sometimes, a simple question can carry eternal weight.

In this episode, we explore a moment when those closest to Jesus witnessed something so powerful, so unexpected, that all they could ask was:
 "Who is this?"

It’s a question of identity, of power, and of faith.
 Who is Jesus—really?
 And what does that mean for us today?

If you've ever wrestled with fear, doubt, or spiritual struggle, this...

In 1977, a mysterious radio signal from deep space—so unusual it was labeled the Wow Signal—left scientists wondering if it was a message from intelligent life. It’s never been explained, and it’s never happened again.

That same kind of mystery and wonder stirs a deeper question: If we’re open to believing there might be something out there… why does it seem irrational to believe there’s a Creator?

In this episode, ...

Over the past few weeks, we’ve explored:

  • What faith really is: not just belief, but trust, obedience, and a new way of living—being “in the faith.”
  • Why our faith is ba...

Faith isn’t a blind leap—it’s a confident step into truth.

This powerful message explores what real faith looks like. It’s not wishful thinking or superstition. It's not belief in spite of the evidence - but because of it. Through Scripture, eyewitness testimony, and the life-changing power of Jesus' resurrection, this message reveals that faith in Christ is anchored, rational, and deeply personal. Whether y...
