When we fear the Lord and allow His wisdom to shape our character, words, attitudes, and responses, we become the kind of trustworthy, life-giving friend who sticks closer than a brother.
In this sermon, Pastor Hans describes what a godly marriage looks like.
The heart of this message was simple yet powerful: God’s goodness is for everyone. The same God who says “whosoever will may come” also extends His grace, salvation, and healing to all who believe. Our faith grows when we stop questioning His willingness and start trusting His unchanging goodness, for He is good all the time and all the time He is good!
In this sermon, Pastor Hans explains the heart behind evangelism and why it matters.
Guest Pastor Tony Suarez shared how true valor is found in faithfully fulfilling our God-given responsibilities and walking in obedience to God. Through the lives of Noah and Moses, he highlighted the importance of righteousness, courage, and leading future generations to fear the Lord. Ultimately, he pointed to Jesus Christ as the greatest example of valor, reminding us that the cross is the ultimate display of sacrificial love an...
Pastor Hans continued going deeper into last week’s Foundations of Belief message by focusing on the question, “Why Jesus?” He explored Jesus’ own claims to deity, emphasizing that Christ is the great “I AM” who existed before Abraham and is fully God in the flesh. Through the seven “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John, Pastor Hans showed how Jesus rev...
Because of Christ’s victory on the cross, sin, evil, and death no longer have the final say. Christianity declares that God came in the flesh, that Jesus is the only way to be reconciled to God, and that all who trust in Him have the hope of eternal life. Through Christ, believers can live with confidence, knowing that death has been defeated and victory has been secured forever.
This Way: Following God's Direction Series
Part 4: The Lord is My Shepherd
Pastor Hans concluded the series by reminding us that God is our Shepherd King. Just as a shepherd cares for his sheep, Jesus, the Good Shepherd, faithfully cares for us. He provides, guides, and protects His people, supplying our needs, leading us in the right direction through His Word and Spirit, and watching over us with His loving care. Because He ...
This Way: Following God's Direction Series
Part 1: What does it mean to be led by the Spirit?
In Week 3 of the This Way series, Pastor Hans Hess focused on the gift and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Pentecost reminds us that God did not leave us to navigate life alone, He sent the Holy Spirit to lead, strengthen, guide, and pray through us. The central truth of the message was that believers are called to live Spirit-led lives,...
In the second message of the This Way series, Pastor Hans Hess taught that the direction of our lives is shaped by the choices we make. God continually speaks and leads His people, but we must decide whether we will follow His way or our own. Isaiah 30:21 reminds us that God is faithful to guide us, but walking in His direction requires obedience, surrender, and trust.
This Way: Following God's Direction Series
Part 1: Defeating the Fear of Indecision
Pastor Hans Hess opened this series by reminding us of something simple, yet so powerful: God is always speaking and guiding. The question is are we listening, and are we willing to move?
“This is the way, walk in it” (Isaiah 30:21).
Yet so many times, we find ourselves stuck…not because God isn’t moving, bu...
Redeemed Series
Part 3: Redeemed from Poverty
This final message in the Redeemed series focuses on a powerful and often misunderstood truth: We have been redeemed from poverty and made to thrive in Christ.
From the beginning, God’s design for His people was not lack, struggle, or barely getting by. In the Garden, there was provision, abundance, and everything Adam and Eve needed. Poverty, like sickness and spir...
Redeemed Series
Part 2: Redeemed from Sickness
This second message in the Redeemed series focuses on another powerful truth: We have been redeemed from sickness and made whole in Christ.
From the fall in the garden, sickness and disease entered the human race as part of a broken world under the curse of sin. In the Old Testament, sickness was seen as one of the results of the curse under the law. But through Jesus, r...
Easter Series 2026: Eyewitnesses of Jesus
Part 3: Peter
Peter’s story is not just about failure…it’s about what Jesus does after the failure. Peter didn’t drift away slowly, he denied Jesus directly. Face to face with pressure, he said: “I do not know that man.” Three times. And when it was over, Scripture says he went out and wept bitterly. This is the weight of sin, not just what he did, but t...
Easter Series 2026: Eyewitnesses of Jesus
Part 2: Thomas
This message shifts our focus to Thomas, not to shame his doubt, but to reveal what Jesus does through it. Thomas is often labeled “Doubting Thomas,” but Scripture shows something deeper: he wasn’t the only one who doubted…he was just the one honest enough to say it out loud.
I. More Than a Doubter
Thomas wasn’t weak, he was loyal and courageous...
Easter Series 2026: Eyewitnesses of Jesus
Part 1: John
This Easter series begins by looking at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus through the eyes of those who were closest to Him. And first, we see it through John, not as a title of pride, but as a testimony of identity: I am the one Jesus loved.
I. A Son of Thunder
John didn’t start soft, humble, or loving.
- He was bold, intense, and even prideful
- He and his bro...
