Housekeeping | Titus 1:1-2:1

Acts narrates the birth of the Church, sent to the ends of the earth as a movement of disciple-makers who will lead the world in the Word. How can the church remain faithful to its mission in a world that constantly pressures it to compromise?

The Church remains faithful to its God-given calling when it keeps in mind that…

I. The Mission is rooted in God’s Truth (Titus 1:1-4).
a. The Faith of God’s elect: we are God’s chosen people.
b. The Knowledge of God’s Truth: producing godliness (maturity!).
c. The Hope of eternal life: we rest on the “God who never lies”.

II. The Mission requires qualified leaders (Titus 1:5-9).
a. The family comes first (5,6).
b. Above reproach (7,8).
c. Ready to teach, keep, and protect the Word (9).

III. The Mission demands the protection of sound doctrine (Titus 1:10-2:1).
a. Threats coming from the inside (10,11).
b. Threats coming from the outside (12-16).
c. “Teach what accords with sound doctrine” (2:1).

To lead a compromised world in the Word,
we must remain a household firmly ordered
by the Truth of the God Who Never Lies.

We can only fulfill our calling when
our leaders, our teaching, and our lives are
firmly anchored in the truth of the gospel.

1. Is my life being shaped by the truth of God’s Word, or have I allowed the values of the world to influence the way I think, speak, and live?
2. If someone looked at my character today, would they see the kind of spiritual maturity and integrity that reflects the gospel and prepares me to influence others for Christ? How can I start moving in that direction?

The Battle For My Identity

September 6, 2026by Dr. Brent Thomason

What if my identity was shaped by how God sees me and not by who the world says I am? This sermon challenges the sin-distorted identity that we believe is real, that our worth is wrapped up in our prestige, our historical footprint, our followers/likes/reposts, our financial statement, our property, our children’s success, etc. and refocuses our attention on who God says we are, that our identity mirrors him as image bearers, as ‘little Christs’ breaking forth light in a dark world, as heirs to an eternal kingdom, as children created to rule and reign in God’s place, etc. Once…

Are We Ready to Grow? | Hebrews 4:1-13

August 30, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

"Yes, the good news of the gospel is that Jesus paid it all. And yet, there are some who still hold to unbelief in toil, grief, greed and self-righteous works that can never save. Our only hope is God’s Word who sees it all. Even today, God is inviting us to come and in him, find our rest. Only then, will we be able to grow. The question is, are we ready? Are we ready to grow?"

Lord of Sabbath | Matthew 12:1-14

August 23, 2026by Dr. Miguel Lopez

Apart from grace, we are all slaves to the futility of our fallen world. Everything, no matter how sublime, we touch, turns to dust corrupted by our sin. Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath came to set all things right. Sabbath was made for us, to experience the goodness of God. Not for self-righteous displays of elitists religious crowds hindering access to God. But grace is a threat that must be removed for the monopoly of religious technocrats to hold the status quo of their fake “holier than thou” religious flare. And so, they did. The Lord of the Sabbath,…
