Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.
This message, recounts Luke 24:36–47, where the resurrected Jesus appears to his fearful disciples and offers tangible proof—His wounds and eating food—that He is alive. Jesus’s bodily resurrection is God’s definitive evidence of life, bringing peace, purpose, and confidence even amid doubt and fear
In this message, Pastor Ken emphasizes that the ultimate Bible study happens when Jesus Himself leads us through Scripture—as He did for the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—bringing clarity, conviction, and joy.
This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.
In this message, the vital importance of Jesus’s burial is highlighted as the “sacred pause” between the crucifixion and the resurrection — not a minor detail but an essential part of the gospel. The burial confirms that Jesus truly died, fulfills Old Testament prophecy, and embodies the Sabbath rest that points to our ultimate rest in Him.
The message "Darkness Defeated" explores the crucifixion of Jesus in Luke 23:44–49, emphasizing that His death was not just a tragic event, but a victorious fulfillment of God's promise to defeat sin, death, and the devil. Through supernatural darkness and the tearing of the temple curtain, God demonstrated that Jesus was the only one who could reconcile us to Himself.
In this message we look at Jesus's last conversation with man before his death and resurrection.
In this message from Luke 23, Pastor Ken reflects on the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing how Jesus chose to die between two criminals, identifying with sinners even in death. Despite being mocked, beaten, and humiliated, Jesus extended mercy—praying for forgiveness for those who crucified Him.
This message explores the spiritual significance of mourning—not just for loss through death, but also the many forms of loss we experience in life. Jesus’ words to the mourning women on the road to the cross invite us to reflect on what we grieve and whether we are truly paying attention to our sorrow.
"Are You Listening?" explores the importance of spiritual listening—hearing not just with our ears, but with our hearts. Using Luke 23 and the silence of Jesus before His crucifixion, we reflect on how God's voice often becomes clearest when we quiet our own.
