In a world filled with noise, deadlines, and complexity, Jesus calls us back to simplicity. Join Pastor Landon Churchill as we open to Luke 18:15-17 to uncover the profound necessity of "Childlike Faith."

In this message, we explore two vital truths: the personal call to trust God with the open-handed dependence of a child, and the corporate call for the church to prioritize the next generation. Whether you are feeling spiritually exhausted and need to relearn how to "receive" rather than "achieve," or you are looking for a vision for discipleship, this message is for you.

In this message from Luke 18, we walk through Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector — a story that exposes one of the most dangerous spiritual conditions: trusting in ourselves instead of trusting in God’s mercy.

Two men go to the temple.

Both pray.

Both believe in God.

But only one goes home justified.

This sermon shows that the issue is not prayer style, church attendance, morality, or religious effort. The issue is justification — how a sinner is made right before a holy God.

The Pharisee represents outward religion, discipline, and self-confidence. His prayer is full of comparison, performance, and self-righteousness. The tax collector represents spiritual bankruptcy. He brings no resume, no defense — only a plea:

“God, be merciful to me, a sinner.”

Jesus’ verdict overturns human expectations:

👉 The religious man leaves unjustified.

👉 The sinner who trusted mercy leaves declared righteous.

This message reminds us:

• Self-righteousness is more dangerous than open rebellion

• Prayer without humility is performance, not faith

• Justification is not earned — it is received by faith

• God justifies the ungodly who trust in His mercy

• The way up in God’s kingdom is the way down in humility

The gospel is not that bad people become good.

It’s that guilty people are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.

Come empty-handed. Leave justified.

What happens when heaven feels quiet and prayers go unanswered?

In this sermon from Pastor Landon, we walk through Luke 18:1–8, where Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge. This passage speaks directly to weary believers—those who haven’t stopped believing in God, but have quietly stopped praying the prayers that cost them something.

Jesus isn’t addressing people who don’t pray. He’s addressing people who pray faithfully… until nothing changes.

This message explores:
• Why prayer often fades from discouragement, not unbelief
• How delay tests faith more than doubt does
• Why persistent prayer is about endurance, not manipulation
• What it means to pray between promise and fulfillment
• How God uses waiting to shape us before He changes circumstances
• Jesus’ sobering question: “When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

Luke 18 reminds us that prayer is not about wearing God down—it’s about keeping faith alive while we wait. God is not an unjust judge. He is a righteous Father who sees, knows, and acts in His perfect time.

If you’ve laid a prayer down… if hope feels stretched thin… if faith feels tired—this message is for you.

📖 Scripture: Luke 18:1–8
🙏 Theme: Persistent Prayer & Enduring Faith
⏳ Focus: Trusting God when answers delay

Be encouraged. Do not lose heart. Your prayers are not wasted.

In this message from Luke 17:20–37, we walk through Jesus’ own words about the Kingdom of God, the Second Coming, and how believers should live in light of His return.

We explore:

• Why prophecy was given to comfort, not confuse

• The danger of false messiahs and date-setters

• The difference between Christ’s first coming and His second coming

• Why Jesus compares the last days to the days of Noah and Lot

• What it means to not look back like Lot’s wife

• How believers should live with hope, holiness, and urgency

This passage reminds us that Jesus is not returning quietly or secretly—His coming will be as obvious as lightning across the sky. The real question is not whether He is coming… it’s are we ready?

In this message from Luke 17:1–19, we walk step by step with Jesus and discover what genuine discipleship looks like in everyday life. As we return to the Gospels following Advent, Jesus invites us to examine faith that walks, forgiveness that releases, service that humbles, and gratitude that returns.

Jesus teaches us that:

• Offenses will come, but we must guard our influence so we never become a stumbling block to another’s faith.

• Forgiveness is not optional, even when it’s costly—because grace frees us from bitterness.

• Faith isn’t about quantity, but about who our faith rests in—even mustard-seed faith can uproot deep roots of resentment.

• Serving God is not about entitlement, but joyful obedience flowing from already being accepted in Christ.

The chapter culminates in the powerful story of the ten lepers—ten healed, but only one who returned in gratitude. While many received physical healing, only one experienced something greater: salvation. Gratitude turned healing into relationship.

This message reminds us that:

• Obedience often comes before the miracle

• Grace is received, not earned

• True worship flows from gratitude, not convenience

• Faith that saves is faith that returns to Jesus

As we journey toward Easter, this teaching calls us to live as forgiven people—quick to forgive, willing to obey, eager to serve, and always returning in gratitude to the feet of Jesus.

“Your faith has saved you.”

If Christmas only lives in December, we never truly understood it. In this message, we move into Christmas in the Epistles—where the New Testament letters explain what the incarnation changed and how it reshapes our identity, obedience, hope, and everyday life.

From Hebrews 1, we see that God has spoken fully and finally through His Son—Jesus is not a partial message, but God revealed. From Galatians 4, we’re reminded that because Christ came at the perfect time to redeem us, we are no longer slaves but adopted sons and daughters, able to cry “Abba, Father.” In Philippians 2, we’re called to live with the same humble mindset of Christ, who laid aside privilege and became obedient even to death on a cross. And in Titus 2, we learn that grace doesn’t just forgive—it trains and transforms us as we live with hope, watching for Christ’s return. Finally, 1 John 4 shows us what real love looks like: love moved toward us—so now love must flow through us.

This is Christmas theology for real life: God has spoken, we belong, humility matters, grace is active, and love must move. Christmas doesn’t end—it expands into every day of the year.

In this Advent message, we turn to the Gospels—especially Matthew 1 and Luke 1–2—to see Christmas not just as a familiar story, but as the moment eternity collided with history. God did not merely observe humanity; He entered it. The invisible God became visible. The eternal Son stepped into time, flesh, and weakness—for us and for our salvation.

This sermon walks through the fulfillment of God’s promises, the meaning behind Jesus’ genealogy, the miracle of the incarnation, and the reality of Emmanuel—God with us. Christmas is revealed not as self-improvement, but rescue. Jesus did not come to inspire or assist—He came to save sinners.

We are challenged to respond rightly to the Gospel:

• Believe rightly about Jesus

• Walk humbly

• Trust God’s providence

• Repent deeply

• Shine Christ’s light into a dark world

Christmas demands a response. You cannot remain neutral at the manger. The light has come—and now we live as children of light.

“You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” – Matthew 1:21

This Christmas Eve message reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the world—a light that entered a spiritually dark world not with spectacle, but with humility. After 400 years of silence, God kept His promise by sending His Son, bringing hope, truth, and rescue to all.

Walking through Scripture from Genesis to the Gospels, we see how God’s light reveals, restores, and now lives in us. Christmas is more than a memory—it’s a response. Because the light has come, we no longer walk in fear or darkness, and we are called to reflect Christ’s light to the world.

A powerful time of worship and reflection invites us to put Christ back at the center of Christmas and to carry His light wherever we go.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” – John 1:5
