This week, we uncover the priceless value of the Kingdom of Heaven through two parables: the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price. These short but profound stories remind us that the Kingdom is the ultimate treasure—worth sacrificing everything to obtain. Jesus compares the Kingdom to a man who finds treasure hidden in a field and a merchant who discovers a pearl of great value. Both recognize the unparalleled worth of what they’ve found, selling all

This week, we explore two of Jesus’ parables: the mustard seed and the yeast. These stories, though simple, illustrate profound truths about the Kingdom of God. Both the mustard seed and yeast start small, yet their impact is transformative, growing into something far greater than their beginnings. Jesus describes the Kingdom as something that begins humbly, like a mustard seed planted in a field, or yeast worked into dough. Over time, these small, unassuming actions produce growth

This week, we dive into John 15, a passage that feels like a parable but stands as a profound analogy from Jesus during His final hours with His disciples. Set in the context of the Upper Room Discourse, Jesus uses the imagery of the vine, branches, and gardener to highlight the necessity of staying connected to Him. The key message is simple yet powerful: Jesus is the vine, believers are the branches, and God the Father is

Jesus’ parable of the wheat and the weeds reminds us of the ongoing spiritual battle in the world. God, the good sower, plants seeds of faith and goodness, while the enemy sows seeds of sin and destruction. The field, representing the world, contains both wheat (believers) and weeds (those aligned with evil). Though they coexist for now, the harvest—God’s judgment—will bring separation and clarity. This story calls us to evaluate our role in God’s kingdom. Are we

In this week’s sermon, we journey with Abraham’s servant on his assignment to find a wife for Isaac, a mission that carries tremendous weight. With all the challenges of cultural differences and traveling to foreign lands, the servant remains dependent on God. Through this story, we explore the power of simple prayers and how they lead to profound answers. We’ll look at key insights from Genesis 24 on how prayer positions us in the right place to

In this week’s episode of Soaring Faith, we embark on The Road to Redemption by exploring key passages from the book of Romans. We confront the reality of sin, its devastating consequences, and the incredible gift of grace offered through Jesus Christ. Key Points Discussed: The Reality of Sin: Romans 3:23 reminds us that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. We look at the origins of sin in Genesis and reflect on how every

In this week’s episode of Soaring Faith, we step away from our journey through Genesis to explore the practical, transformative teachings of James 2. Through the lens of James, we examine what it truly means to live out our faith in a way that goes beyond mere belief. Key Insights Discussed: Faith in Action: James challenges us with the question, “What good is faith without deeds?” We explore the stark contrast between a dead, inactive faith and

In this week’s episode of Soaring Faith, we delve into Genesis 24, where Abraham faces a significant problem: his son Isaac needs a wife to fulfill God’s promise of becoming a great nation. Abraham doesn’t wait passively; he actively seeks a solution grounded in faith and wisdom. Join us as we explore how Abraham’s approach offers timeless wisdom for our own challenges: Figure It Out: Abraham identifies the problem and makes a thoughtful plan. He prays for

This week’s sermon, The Hardest Thing, addresses the universal experience of grief and the importance of allowing ourselves to feel and express our emotions during times of loss.Drawing from Genesis 23:1, the sermon reflects on Abraham’s profound sorrow after the death of his wife, Sarah, and emphasizes the reality of emotional pain that everyone, regardless of faith, encounters.Key themes include: Acknowledging Grief: We explore the necessity of facing our emotions head-on, understanding that it’s normal to mourn deeply for

For this week’s sermon titled “The Test,” the focus is on Abraham’s ultimate trial of faith in Genesis 22, where God commands him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. The central challenge is to “Pass the Tests” that God places before us. Summary: Years after parting ways with Hagar and Ishmael, Abraham faces one of the greatest tests of his faith: God asks him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. This test is not just about obedience; it’s
