Names of God (El Roi)
“From Broken to Sent” Pastor Ryan opens with Psalm 139:1–4 (KJV) to emphasize that God knows and cares for every detail of our lives. He teaches a five-step journey from brokenness to being sent: 1. Diagnosis—brokenheartedness met by El Roi, “the God who sees,” illustrated through Hagar in Genesis 16; 2. Interruption—Jehovah Shammah, “the Lord is there,” even in ruins like Ezekiel 48:35; 3.

Jesus the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1–6)Ps Ryan teaches from John 14:1–6 where Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” emphasizing that this is not merely doctrine but Jesus Himself as the fulfillment of Jewish categories: halakha (the way), emet (truth), and chayim (life). Ps. Ryan contrasts modern Christianity’s split between faith and daily life with a lived, relational
Names of God (Ehyeh) Part 6
I am the Good ShepherdPastor Ryan teaches that God provides fully, but believers must choose to desire Him (“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want,” Psalm 23:1). Using the “valley of the shadow of death” imagery, he says the shepherd doesn’t reroute the sheep; the daily habit of walking with the shepherd prepares them to pass through darkness with God’s presence (Psalm 23:4). He contrasts “I w

I Am the Good Shepherd: Psalm 23 and John 10.Ps.

The Everlasting Father (Ps. Yen de Felipe)
Jesus is our Everlasting Father. Ps. Yen's sermon centers on Jesus as “Everlasting Father” from Isaiah 9:6, explaining it is not a Christmas sermon but a call to deeper understanding.

Consumer Christianity
In his sermon, Pastor Ryan talks about how the modern church has shifted from discipleship to “consumer Christianity,” where people participate only if the benefits outweigh the cost.

The Devil Loves "MEH"
Key verse: Revelation 3:15-16I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.

To Live is Christ and To Die is Gain
In this sermon by Ps. Charisse, it centers on Philippians 1:20–21, explaining that “to die is gain” is true only for those whose life is in Christ, not for merely noble causes, and rejects praying for the dead, purgatory, suicide, or escapism.

Return To Me: The Heart of God
In this sermon, Ps. Charisse is calling both unbelievers and believers back to God’s heart through true repentance.Ps.

The Road To Damascus: A Divine Disruption
In this sermon, Ps. Yen explores how God often interrupts our plans not to derail us, but to redirect us. Through the story of Saul on the road to Damascus, we see that disruption is not always a sign of being outside God’s will. Sometimes it is proof that we are right in the center of it. Saul’s mission was stopped, his certainty shattered, and his identity undone—not to destroy him, but to revea
True Love Obeys
In this sermon, Ps. Cyra talks about how the world defines love as emotion, convenience, or self-serving acceptance, but Jesus defines love through obedience. Love takes shape through obeying Christ’s commands.

Holiness (Part 2)
This sermon entitled "Holiness Part 2" emphasizes that holiness, defined by the Hebrew word kadosh as being "set apart" and belonging exclusively to God, is not primarily about moral perfection but is a command and an alignment to God's original purpose for humanity.
