EASTER - FEAR: He is a Liar

Pastor Jason shares about the amazing grace the Lord offered him through his life this Easter Sunday!

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Fear of Rejection - FEAR: He is a Liar

Rejection has a way of getting inside our heads… and sometimes, it starts to sound like the truth.

In this message, we look at how fear, approval, and past experiences shape the voices we listen to—and how those voices can quietly pull us away from truth. From Peter’s denial of Jesus to the story of Ignaz Semmelweis, we’re reminded that fear of people’s responses can keep us from living boldly and honestly.

But the good news? Jesus doesn’t avoid our failures—He meets us right in them. Just like He did with Peter, He steps into the very places we feel shame and rewrites the story with grace and restoration.

This sermon invites you to wrestle with a powerful question: Whose voice will define you? The opinions of others—or the truth of what God says about you?

Take a moment to reflect, lean in, and let truth speak louder than rejection. 🙌

Fear of Sinking - FEAR: He is a Liar

Fear Is a Liar | Fear of Sinking 🌊

What if the scariest part of faith… isn’t the fall—but the step?

In this message, we dive into Gospel of Matthew chapter 14 and the powerful moment when Peter steps out of the boat to walk toward Jesus. The storm didn’t stop. The wind didn’t die down. But Peter stepped out anyway.

And for a moment… he walked on water.

So what changed?
Not the storm—his focus.

This sermon explores how fear keeps us stuck in what’s safe, comfortable, and controllable… while Jesus invites us into something greater. Because faith isn’t just believing from the sidelines—it’s stepping out of the boat. 🙌

If you’ve ever felt stuck, uncertain, or afraid to take the next step God is calling you to—this message is for you.

👉 Fear says stay in the boat.
👉 Jesus says come.

---

⛪ In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why fear often shows up right before a breakthrough
• The difference between belief and real faith
• What it means to keep your eyes on Jesus in the middle of a storm
• Why failure in faith is better than staying stuck in comfort

---

💬 Let’s talk:
What “boat” is God calling you to step out of right now?

Fear the Storm - FEAR: He is a Liar

Fear Is a Liar | Jesus Calms the Storm | Mark 4 Sermon 🌊⛵

What do you do when life feels like a storm you can’t control?

In Mark 4, the disciples face a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee while Jesus sleeps in the boat. As the waves crash and fear takes over, they ask a question many of us have asked in our own struggles:
“Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”

In this message, we explore how fear exaggerates the storm and minimizes Jesus—and why the real promise of the gospel isn’t a storm-free life, but Christ’s presence in the storm.

Sometimes Jesus calms the storm.
Sometimes He carries us through it.
But if Jesus is in the boat, the storm cannot sink your story.

If you're walking through anxiety, uncertainty, or a difficult season, this message will encourage you to trust that God is still present, still working, and still in control.

The Temple Vessels - Against the Flow

The RMS Titanic was once called “practically unsinkable.” 🚢
But just four days after setting sail, it struck an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic.

History is filled with moments like that—when human confidence collides with reality.

In Daniel 5, we see a similar story unfolding in ancient Babylon. King Belshazzar celebrates inside the strongest city in the world, convinced nothing can touch him. But while the party continues inside the palace, the empire is quietly collapsing outside the walls.

This final message in our Against the Flow series explores the dangerous progression from confidence → pride → arrogance, and the subtle ways culture can begin shaping our hearts when we stop depending on God.

Through the contrast between Belshazzar and Daniel, we discover a powerful truth:
You can live in Babylon without letting Babylon live in you.

✨ What are you trusting that cannot ultimately save you?
✨ Are you being shaped more by culture or by God?

Join us as we close the series and reflect on what it means to live faithfully, humbly, and courageously—even in a world pulling us in the opposite direction.

🙏 A life of humility.
🙏 A life of faithfulness.
🙏 A life that remembers who it belongs to.

📖 Scripture: Daniel 5

Babylon the Great - Against the Flow

Pride doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it’s impressive. Successful. Even spiritual. 

In Week 5 of our Against The Flow series, we dive into Daniel 4 and the powerful testimony of Nebuchadnezzar — a king at the height of influence who discovers that the greatest threat to his life isn’t an enemy… it’s pride.

From the rooftop of his palace, he declares, “Look what I built.” Seven years later, he lifts his eyes toward heaven and declares, “Look what God has done.”

What changed?

This message explores:

• Why pride is called the “number one killer” of spiritual growth
• How pride can masquerade as humility
• The difference between rooftop living and upward surrender
• Why God opposes the proud — but gives grace to the humble
• How intimacy with Jesus produces true humility

God’s patience is not His permission. And His discipline is not destruction — it’s restoration. The question isn’t whether pride tempts us. The question is: Which posture will we choose? Rooftop pride? Or upward dependence? Let this message challenge you, humble you, and draw you closer to Christ. 🙏

An Image of Gold - Against the Flow

In a world full of tension, outrage, and cultural noise, what does faithful living actually look like?

In Week 4 of Against the Flow, we step into Daniel 3 and the fiery furnace to discover the posture Scripture calls us to: not fear, not rage, not aggression—but faithful presence. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego show us how to honor authority where we can, draw a clear line when obedience to God is at stake, and remain steady in a world that demands compromise.

This message tackles real cultural tension—including questions about authority, obedience, conscience, and compassion—and asks a crucial question:
When do Christians submit, and when must we obey God first?

If you’ve ever wondered how to live faithfully without getting swept into outrage or apathy, this message is for you. 🔥

Let’s learn what it means to be:
✔️ Law-honoring citizens
✔️ Compassion-driven neighbors
✔️ Truth-telling believers
✔️ Uncompromising in obedience to God

Faithful in the system.
Peaceful in the culture.
Unshaken in the fire.

The King Had a Dream - Against the Flow

When worldviews collide, how do God’s people respond? In Daniel 2, we’re reminded that while kingdoms rise and fall, God remains in control. Faced with fear, pressure, and uncertainty, Daniel chooses calm faith, community prayer, and trust in God’s wisdom rather than panic or compromise.

This message explores how we can live faithfully in a culture filled with competing voices—staying grounded in truth, engaging the world without losing our identity, and pointing others to God through the way we live. Discover how quiet confidence in God can help us thrive, even in the middle of Babylon. 🙏✨

Protect Against the Food - Against the Flow

What do you do when the pressure to conform feels overwhelming? In this message from our Against the Flow series, we look at Daniel 1 and the quiet determination that helped Daniel and his friends remain faithful in a culture trying to reshape their identity.

Through the stories of Daniel and early Christian martyr Perpetua, we’re reminded that what we often call peer pressure is really fear pressure — and that obedience to God puts His faithfulness on display, even when deliverance doesn’t come right away. When culture presses in, God is still forming, sustaining, and guiding His people.

Join us as we ask: when pressure rises, will we drift with the current or stand firm in faith?

Changing the Names - Against the Flow

What happens when the culture around you starts redefining what’s right, what’s normal, and even who you are? In this opening message of our new series, Against the Flow, we begin in Daniel 1, where Daniel and his friends are taken into Babylon and pressured to adopt a completely new identity, culture, and way of life.

Babylon tried to reshape them from the outside in—changing their names, education, loyalties, and worship. Yet Daniel shows us how to live faithfully in a culture that pulls the opposite direction: accommodating where conscience allows, but standing firm when loyalty to God is challenged. His story reminds us that while culture may try to rename us, our true identity is found in Christ.

As followers of Jesus today, we face similar pressures to simply go along with what feels normal. Daniel challenges us to live culturally relevant without becoming spiritually irrelevant—trusting God to define who we are and choosing faithfulness even when it means going against the flow.
