The Upper Room – May 4, 2025

Read the passage: John 14:1-24

What if there is a bigger world out there that is more real than anything we know? What if someone came to us from the world outside, and told us the truth about our world? What if that person couldn’t stay in our world, but they had to leave. But before they left, they told us how to get to the place where they lived?

As Christians, these are not just hypothetical questions – this is actually our story. The story of Jesus is that he came from outside of our world. He told us the truth about our world. He couldn’t stay with us, but he had to leave. Before he left, however, he told us how to get to the place where he lives. Jesus gave us a way to be close to him, even before we get to his world.

The Book of Judges – April 6, 2025

Judges 3:12-30

In this sermon, Pastor Enoch discusses how ordinary people can tackle extraordinary problems, using the biblical story of Ehud from the book of Judges as a case study.

The narrative begins with the Israelites suffering under the oppression of King Eglon of Moab, who ruled for 18 years. Pastor Enoch emphasizes that while Ehud’s actions—lying and killing—may seem morally ambiguous, they are framed within the larger context of warfare and divine deliverance. Ehud, a left-handed man, utilized his unique physical attributes and extensive preparation to assassinate the king and liberate the Israelites.

The sermon suggests that solving significant problems requires extraordinary reasons, preparation, and perspective. The speaker draws parallels between Ehud’s courage and modern figures like Florence Nightingale, emphasizing the necessity of dedication and service to a greater cause.

The key takeaway is that with extraordinary motives and proper preparation, individuals can achieve remarkable results while recognizing that ultimate success is a partnership with divine intervention.

The Book of Judges – March 23, 2025

Judges 4:1-27

As Christians we have a God who is invisible by nature, and sometimes it feels like all we have is a bunch of theory that feels dry and not very satisfying. But every one of us is meant to experience God for ourselves. And Jesus told us how we can experience God. Jesus said to his disciples:

“Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” (John 14:21)

In other words, if we love Jesus enough to keep his commands, he will show himself to us. But, the hard part is keeping his commands. Because, keeping his commands means really following Jesus with our life, even when it’s difficult. And, that takes courage.

So, our Bible story today is about courage. My big idea today is, if we want to experience God we need courageous faith. And courageous faith means two things. First, we need courageous reasoning, and second, we need courageous action.

Letters to the Corinthians – March 9, 2025

2 Corinthians 9:6-11

There are all kinds of weird and creative ways we can spend money.

But today I want to talk about what might be the single best use of money in the whole world. I want to talk about the idea of charity.

Now just to be clear, I am not asking you to give money to the church. And I’m also not saying that anyone has to give to charity. Because our Bible passage today is about voluntary giving to a charity far away. So I hope you don’t feel pressured to give today because that is not my intent.

But my big question today is: Why would a person want to give away as much money as they can?

My answer is, if we do charity well, we are the first to benefit, and we are the second to benefit. And I’ll show you what I mean as we go through our Bible passage.

Letters to the Corinthians – February 9, 2025

1 Corinthians 7:26-31

All of us have choices to make. We have choices in our love life. We have choices for our schooling and our career. We have choices for our friendship and our free time and our family life. Our choices will determine the direction of our lives.

So my big question today is: How can we make better life choices?

The answer I want to show you today is: we need to think like soldiers.

Because, just like soldiers:

  1. We need to remember the mission, and
  2. We need to accept our limits

My task today is to show you these ideas from the Bible, so you can build your life directly on God’s word.

The Book of Joshua – January 12, 2025

Joshua 3-4

I understand a lot of us are going through some really hard times. I definitely don’t want to minimize the trouble that we go through. Mental health is no joke, and relationship problems can be really tough. School and finances can be oppressive. And sometimes the best we can do is just make it through another day.

But once in a while when we’re not so overwhelmed, it really helps to take a step back and think about the big picture.

And it’s worth asking, how can we live our best life? That’s my big question today. How can we live our best life?

My big idea today is that we need EXPERIENCE and we need to ENRICH.

  1. We need to EXPERIENCE the greatness of God
  2. We need to ENRICH the lives of others by sharing our experiences.

Christmas – December 15, 2024

Luke 1:67-79

We all encounter evil in our lives. We can see all kinds of things in our world that are broken. We can see the brokenness in governments and in world politics. We can see it in schools and workplaces. We see it in close friendships and family, and we can even see it in our own hearts. Our world is not the way it should be.

Some people see so much brokenness that they just give up and they say there’s no point in trying because they can’t fix the problems. But as Christians I believe we have the best way to respond to brokenness.

So my big question today is: how should we respond to brokenness – the brokenness we see in the world and also in our personal life?

The answer I want to show you today is that we should respond with confidence that Jesus will make things right. Jesus will make things right in our world, and Jesus will make things right in our own personal life.

The Sermon on the Mount – November 3, 2024

Matthew 5:14-16; Matthew 6:1

I think it’s understandable that a lot of people hate work. And they dream of a day when they can leave their work behind and just do whatever they feel like. But I believe we’re not meant to wish away our working hours. I believe that the ordinary work that we all do can be incredibly meaningful and rewarding.

So, my big question today is: how can we get the most out of our work? The answer I want to show you today is, we can turn work into worship. Sometimes our worship needs to be public, and sometimes our worship needs to be private. But all work is about worship. And my task today is to show you these ideas from two Bible passages in the Sermon on the Mount, so that you can build your life directly on God’s words.

Moses: Living By Faith – October 13, 2024

Numbers 20:1-12

For many of us, life feels like one problem after another, and one obstacle after another. And we all go through challenging times.

So, my big question today is, how should we respond to the challenges of life? Our Bible story today teaches us two things. First we need to mind our stress level, and second, we need to mind the big picture.

Our Bible story comes from The Book of Numbers, Chapter 20. It’s about a time when Moses faced one of the most difficult personal challenges of his life.

Discipleship: 1st & 2nd Thessalonians – September 8, 2024

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

Today we’ll be learning from one of the greatest Christians in history. His name was Paul. And we’ll learn two things from a prayer that he prayed.

We’ll learn that:

  1. We should pray for power
  2. We should pray for glory

More specifically, we should pray for power to be what God wants us to be. And we should pray for glory – to God – because as that turns out, that’s the greatest thing for us.
