    S4 Ep100: You're Robbing God!
    2025/10/12
    What if the choices we make in secret could shape the destiny of an entire community? In this powerful message, Pastor Nick delves into the story of Achan from Joshua 7, revealing how one man's hidden sin brought devastating consequences to all of Israel. Through vivid storytelling and urgent pastoral care, he exposes how our "private" sins—from mishandled finances to hidden addictions—ripple outward to affect our families, our church, and even our nation's spiritual health. With compelling clarity, Pastor Nick challenges us to recognize that what we think we're burying under our tent is actually blocking God's blessings and hindering His work. The message culminates in a sobering reminder that our spiritual compromises don't just impact us—they can literally determine whether others encounter Christ or remain eternally separated from Him. Through biblical truth and compassionate conviction, Pastor Nick calls us to examine our hearts, confess our sins, and live as conduits of God's grace rather than hoarders of His blessings.

    S4 Ep98: Moses the Redeemer-Slavery and Redemption
    2025/09/28
    What does it take to strip away decades of cultural conditioning and emerge as the person God truly intended? In a powerful message, Pastor Nick delves into Moses' transformative journey from Egyptian prince to Hebrew deliverer, revealing how God spent 40 years dismantling the false beliefs and pagan ideologies that Egypt had instilled in Moses. Through vivid parallels between Moses and Jesus, Pastor Nick illuminates how both left positions of privilege to walk among their people, faced initial rejection, and ultimately offered liberation - Moses from physical bondage and Jesus from the enslaving power of sin. Just as Moses needed time in the wilderness to be cleansed of Egypt's influence, Pastor Nick challenges us to examine the modern "Egypt" in our own lives - the cultural programming, media manipulation, and false narratives that keep us from fully embracing God's truth. With urgent relevance, he calls the congregation to wake up to God's redemptive purpose, reminding us that we're never too old to begin God's work and that in the spiritual battle before us, there are no spectator stands - only active participants in God's mission of liberation.

    2025/09/22
    What happens in a pit can prepare us for a palace. In this powerful message, Pastor Nick unpacks the remarkable story of Joseph, revealing how God works through seasons of adversity to accomplish His greater purposes. Through Joseph's journey from favored son to slave to prisoner to Egyptian ruler, we see a profound picture of how God can use our lowest moments to position us for His highest calling. Pastor Nick connects Joseph's story to Jesus, showing how Joseph's willingness to forgive those who wronged him and his recognition that "God sent me ahead of you to preserve life" foreshadows Christ's own mission. The sermon culminates in a stirring call to trust God in our own "pit moments," recognizing that He may be preparing us for something greater, while emphasizing that our ultimate hope lies not in our circumstances but in receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord. Through vivid storytelling and practical application, Pastor Nick demonstrates how this ancient narrative speaks powerfully to our modern struggles with rejection, false accusation, and seemingly hopeless situations.
