Who Is Jesus?: The Good Life Pt 1 (Ken LaMont) E02

In this message on Matthew 5:3-6, we explore Jesus's radical teaching on true happiness and "the good life." Just as Yale's most popular class ever tried to address student anxiety by teaching happiness, Jesus offers something far deeper in the Beatitudes—a complete inversion of worldly assumptions about blessing and success. Discover why Jesus says the truly fortunate aren't the wealthy, powerful, or comfortable, but the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, and those who hunger for righteousness. This sermon challenges us to examine where we've leaned our ladder against the wrong wall and invites us into the upside-down values of God's Kingdom, where weakness becomes strength and dependence on God brings true blessing.

Who Is Jesus?: What Is The Kingdom? (Ken LaMont) E01

In this introduction to a new series on the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Jesus' revolutionary "Kingdom Manifesto"—a blueprint for what it looks like when God's rule and reign are lived out in our daily lives. With just 107 verses, this sermon has influenced history more than any other teaching, challenging figures from Gandhi to Tolstoy. But as John Stott noted, it remains "the most well known, the least understood, and the least obeyed" of all Jesus' teachings. 

This message sets the stage for understanding that the Sermon on the Mount isn't how we achieve salvation—it's how we demonstrate it. Jesus calls us to a monumental paradigm shift from the world's definition of success to life under His Kingdom rule. Over this series, we'll move beyond merely hearing Jesus' words to actively putting them into practice, discovering what it means to live as citizens of God's Kingdom here and now.

Easter: Power of the Resurrection (Ken LaMont)

This Easter message celebrates the transformative power of Christ's resurrection and what it means for our lives today. Through the illustration of Wellington's victory at Waterloo and the discovery of the empty tomb, this sermon explores how Jesus defeated death, sin, and shame. Just as the people of London's mourning turned to joy when they saw the full message—"Wellington Defeated Napoleon"—our despair turns to hope when we understand that "Jesus Christ Defeated Death." 

Discover how the resurrection changes everything by: forgiving your past, empowering your present through the same Spirit that raised Jesus, and securing your future with eternal hope. If the tomb is empty, everything is going to be alright.

Palm Sunday (Juan Palomino)

On Palm Sunday, crowds welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem expecting a political revolutionary who would overthrow Rome. Instead, Jesus came as a spiritual savior riding humbly on a donkey toward the cross. This message explores the powerful symbols of Palm Sunday—the donkey, palm branches, and the cry "Hosanna"—revealing how Jesus had something far greater in mind than temporary rescue from oppression. He came to offer eternal salvation from sin and death. Pastor Juan challenges us to adopt Christ's mindset of humility, obedience, sacrifice, and love, calling every believer to be His ambassador by inviting others to experience the life-changing message of Easter.

Generosity: Serve Generously (Ken LaMont) E6

Three weeks before Easter, Jesus tells His disciples He's going to be crucified and raised to life. But instead of grasping the gravity of His words, James and John's mother asks Jesus to give her sons the best seats in His kingdom. Jesus uses this moment to flip the world's power structure upside down, teaching that true greatness isn't found in positioning ourselves above others, but in serving them. Drawing from Matthew 20:17-28, this message challenges us to ask one transformative question in every interaction: "How can I serve?" Discover how the early church turned the world upside down through radical service—and how we can do it again today.

Generosity: How To Live Generously Pt 1 (Ken LaMont) E5

In week 5 of our Generosity series, we explore the practical side of biblical giving. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9, this message addresses the who, when, where, and what of generosity. Learn why giving is a heart issue before it's a financial one, discover the biblical principle of first fruits and tithing, and understand where your giving should go—your church, kingdom expansion, and the poor. Whether you're new to giving or have been tithing for years, this sermon challenges everyone to take the next step in their journey of generosity, trusting that God will provide as we honor Him with our resources.

Generosity: Eternal Investment (Ken LaMont) E4

In week four of our Generosity series, Pastor Ken explores Jesus' teaching from the Sermon on the Mount about making eternal investments. Drawing from Matthew 6:19-24, he challenges listeners to shift from an earthly to a kingdom perspective on finances. The message examines three key choices: two investments (earthly vs. heavenly treasures), two perspectives (temporal vs. eternal), and two masters (God vs. money). Through powerful illustrations—including the story of missionary Jim Elliot and businessman Stanley Tam—the sermon emphasizes that while we can't take our possessions to heaven, we can send them ahead through kingdom investments. The central question: Are you living for the dot (this life) or the line (eternity)? A compelling call to use God-given resources to "empty hell and fill heaven."

Generosity: Ownership (Devan Bumstead) E3

In this message on generosity, we explore the tension between the American Dream's emphasis on ownership and the Kingdom of God's call to stewardship. Through a journey from Genesis to the Gospels, we discover that God owns it all: our homes, jobs, resources, even our very breath. We're not owners but stewards—caretakers of what belongs to God. This shift in perspective isn't about restriction but freedom, as we learn to hold things loosely and find our security not in possessions but in belonging to the Father. The sermon culminates with the powerful story of the woman who broke her alabaster jar, pouring out her most valuable possession on Jesus—a beautiful picture of radical surrender and the proper response to the gospel.

Generosity: Generous People (Ken LaMont) E2

Pastor Ken explores why Jesus taught more about money than any other topic and challenges a fundamental question: Why does God bless us with wealth when He knows it's "hard for the rich to enter the kingdom of God"? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 9 and the parable of the rich fool, this message confronts our scarcity mindset and reveals God's true purpose for blessing us financially. The answer isn't to increase our standard of living, but our standard of giving. Through the inspiring story of a housekeeper whose $300 gift launched a mission that reached 100 million people, listeners are challenged to become "funnels" rather than "buckets"—allowing God's generosity to flow through them to advance His kingdom.
