    The Untraveled Road
    2026/04/26
    Life doesn't always go the way we planned. Unexpected changes, new challenges, and unfamiliar seasons have a way of shaking our faith — turning our worship into worry and our praise into panic. But what if those strange, uncomfortable places are exactly where God needs us to be? In this message, Brother Hughes explores what it looks like to trust God when everything around us feels unfamiliar. Like Israel standing at the edge of the Promised Land, we are often unprepared for the new thing God is doing — not because He has forgotten us, but because He is getting us ready to receive it. God is never in a new place. We are. The Bible calls us to be strong and courageous — to take hold of the problem before it takes hold of us. Fear doesn't reduce the danger we face; it only increases the weight of it. But when we choose to follow God, even at a distance, even in patience, we position ourselves to witness what He alone can do. Whatever strange place you find yourself in today, God has already been there. Trust the journey, follow His lead, and praise Him on the way.

  • What God Is Unwilling To Do

    What God Is Unwilling To Do
    2026/04/19
    When life gets hard, it's easy to assume God is unwilling to help — but the only limits on God are those He has placed on Himself. Through Scripture, we see a God who willingly took on human form, heals, saves, and forgives. Yet like a wise parent, He sometimes steps back, allowing trials to shape us. The fires we face are not accidents; they are designed to refine us, and endurance through them produces growth, maturity, and a deeper experience of God's love. In the feeding of the 5,000, the disciples felt they didn't have enough — only five loaves and two fish. But Jesus said, "Give it to me," and made it enough. Whatever your "except" is today, Jesus will accept it. God is not willing that any should be lost. He will not leave you hungry.

    Open The Gates

    God doesn't force His way into our lives. He looks for an invitation. This message explores what it means to give God access: through our openness, our response in His presence, and our willingness to say yes when He speaks. God desires a relationship and wants to bless us, but He requires an invitation. He's not looking for perfection. He's looking for access.

  • The Sermon Off The Mount

    The Sermon Off The Mount
    2026/03/22
    In this message, Bro. Sherril explores what happens when Jesus steps down from the Sermon on the Mount and meets a leper at the bottom of the hill. Jesus had just finished laying out the highest spiritual standard ever taught — be humble, love your enemies, don't judge — and the very first person to greet Him is someone who represents everything broken and far from that standard. Yet this man doesn't ask whether Jesus can heal him. He already knows the answer. His only question is will He. That single word — "Will you?" — cuts to the heart of how many of us approach God. We wonder if we're too far gone, too low on the mountain, too far from where we think we need to be before God will move on our behalf. This message reminds us that Jesus doesn't wait for us to climb high enough. He comes down to where we are — and His answer is always the same: I will.

  • One Small Step for Man

    One Small Step for Man
    2026/03/15
    Just as Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon in 1969 changed the course of history in ways no one could have imagined, a single step of faith can lead to outcomes beyond our wildest dreams. This sermon explores how God turns our small steps into giant leaps. Drawing from the Songs of Ascent (Psalms 120–134) and the miraculous healing at the Pool of Bethesda, we are reminded that God always has a process — and that He is putting us together piece by piece. All He asks is that we take the step. He will handle the leap.

  • Lean On Me

    Lean On Me
    2026/03/08
    We all know the feeling — leaning on a friend, a family member, or a coworker when life gets hard. And just as Bill Withers sang in 1972, everybody needs somebody to lean on. But what happens when the people we depend on can't hold us up anymore? In this message, Pastor Long explores what it truly means to lean on God. A rickety chair is fine for a small task, but it fails you when you need to reach greater heights. The people and things we lean on in life have limits. Friends are a blessing, and community matters — but there will come a moment when your situation is too big for anyone around you to handle. God is different. He's the strongest foundation. He never leaves, never fails, and never walks away when things get too heavy. Whatever ladder you're climbing right now, He can hold it. Are you leaning on something that's already let you down? It's time to shift your weight — and lean completely on the Lord.

  • Name Brand

    Name Brand
    2026/03/01
    It is Rodeo season here in Houston. Soon, everyone will be wearing boots and hats and will try to look the part. Those attending the livestock show may notice a mark on the animals being shown. This brand identifies that animal as belonging to someone. Just as ranchers brand their cattle to show ownership, and companies use logos to identify themselves in the marketplace, our lives are meant to carry a mark that identifies us as God’s own. A branded cow belongs to someone who paid the price and protects it. In the same way, God has paid for us, claims us, and watches over us. His desire is to leave a recognizable imprint on our lives—the name of Jesus seen in who we are and how we live. In a world full of knock‑offs and imitations, we’re called to be the real thing, not just a form of godliness but a genuine reflection of the One we belong to.

  • Waters to Swim In

    Waters to Swim In
    2026/02/22
    Brother Hughes delivers a powerful call to leave the shallow and step into the deep with God. This message explores how God pours out mercy and grace without limit—and how often we miss His work because we stay where we feel in control. When we let go, when we allow the waters of His presence to carry us, we discover a well that never runs dry. God’s grace is greater than all our sin, and He’s calling us out of comfort and into the deep places where transformation happens.
