Pastor Scott reviews the story of Rehoboam's stubbornness to teach us that we can make better decisions by being receptive to counsel - and how not turning an ear to your instructors, leads to serious trouble and serious regret.
Pastor Scott examines the story of Esau to help us determine how to not give into short-term temptations. We'll learn how to train ourselves to think long term and how to avoid regrettable decisions that are based on a season of life.
Pastor Scott explains that Jesus rose again to call every single one of us by our name. To help us see past our blind spots into the reality of His life and mission.
Pastor Scott expounds on and explores what it means when Romans 8:37 says we are more than conquerors in Christ.
Pastor Scott helps us see how God's will and purpose guides our steps, and how He uses life's ups and downs to complete the good work he started in us.
Pastor Soon Pak delves deep into the idea of hope and it's power to help us endure life's struggles and sufferings, and how " our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."
Romans 8 teaches what it means to be "children and heirs of God." Pastor Scott helps us understand what it truly means to be a member of God's global family!
Pastor Scott shares with us that the inseparable life with God explained in Romans 8 is possible because of the new reality in the spirit ushered in by Jesus Christ.
Romans 8 is a powerful picture of the gospel and what a relationship with God looks like. It begins with a picture of death that leads us to understand our need for Jesus. Pastor Soon reminds us there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

The Holy Spirit didn’t just inspire the Biblical writers, He also guides those who read the Bible. He’s the key component to understanding and obeying the Word of God.
The Bible does many things – it instructs, it guides, it informs – but as the living Word of God, it also has the power to transform things. Most importantly, it transforms those people who allow its words and messages to renew their thinking and remove anything within them that is contrary to God’s nature.
God’s word is alive and active, but what makes it so? Just by reading it, are we transformed immediately to become the new creatures in Christ that the Bible promises we will become? Or is there another, much harder, step to take to ensure the working of the Word produces fruit in our lives? In this third week of our Help! My Bible is Alive! sermon series, Pastor Soon Pak asks us to consider: “Who or what has authority over our lives?”
The word of God has been compared to many things, but a “light” is one of the most well-known metaphors. God’s word is a “lamp for our feet and a light for our path.” In this sermon, Pastor Scott McKee helps us better understand the illuminating qualities of God’s word, but also how we can use that light in different situations to help us uncover things about God’s character, correct our vision, and guide someone to Him.
We all live with longings in our heart — for belonging, for connection, for direction — longings that only God can meet. And God determined that He would provide a way for us to close that gap — we would discover Him through His inspired Word.
