Small, holy habits lead to a big, spiritually strong life.When we get the first things first, everything else begins to fall into place.This week’s focus: Building your life on the Word of God.







📖 Key Scripture:




“Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”— Joshua 1:8 (NLT)








🧱 Main Points



1. Make Reading the Word a Priority




* God transforms us through thousands of small moments of obedience, not one big event.



* The Bible isn’t just a book you read — it reads you.



* When you open Scripture, the Holy Spirit reveals what needs to align, shift, and grow in your life.



* Developing a taste for God’s Word is like moving from “kids’ meals” to the “main course.” Once you’ve tasted the real thing, you can’t go back.




Takeaway:Make Scripture as automatic as your morning coffee. Let it become your spiritual habit.







2. What Happens When You Read the Word




* God speaks to you. The Holy Spirit highlights verses that are for you, answering questions, confirming direction, and revealing truth.



* God sanctifies you. The Word cleanses, corrects, and sets you apart for His purposes.



* What goes in comes out. Fill your heart with the Word so your words, actions, and attitudes flow from His truth.




Supporting Verses:




* John 17:17 — “Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth.”



* John 8:32 — “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”



* John 14:26 — The Holy Spirit will remind you of what Jesus has said.








3. How to Start Reading the Word



If you’re unsure where to begin, get organized:




* Pick a time and place you can keep consistently.



* Choose a translation that’s readable (NLT or ESV are great options).



* Start in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) or Proverbs for wisdom.



* Use tools like the YouVersion Bible App for reading plans and verse reminders.




Remember: You don’t need to feel like reading every day—just start small. Like a gym habit, once you get going, momentum grows.







4. Learn to Gaze, Not Glance




* Don’t rush through the Word. Slow down. Meditate on it.



* Let God’s words penetrate deep into your heart (Proverbs 4:20–21).




SOAP Method for Bible Reading:




* S — Scripture: What verse stands out?



* O — Observation: What does it say?



* A — Application: How can I apply this?

🧡 Message Overview



We all love a good love story — from fictional classics like Romeo and Juliet to blockbuster romances like Titanic. But the Bible’s love story between Hosea and Gomer is no fairy tale — it’s raw, heartbreaking, and profoundly real. In it, God uses Hosea’s marriage to a prostitute named Gomer as a living parable of His relentless, redeeming love for His people — a love that pursues us even when we wander, buys us back even when we betray, and restores us even when we are broken beyond recognition.







🪓 1. The Pain of Betrayal




* God commanded Hosea, a respected prophet, to marry Gomer — a known prostitute — knowing she would be unfaithful.



* Gomer’s betrayal mirrors Israel’s spiritual adultery: they chased false gods despite all God’s blessings.



* Betrayal isn’t just about breaking rules; it’s about breaking trust and relationship.



* Our idols today may not be carved statues, but they’re just as real — money, success, comfort, approval, addiction — anything we pursue more than God.




💭 Reflection: Every time we run to lesser loves, we’re telling God, “You’re not enough.” And yet, His heart still breaks for us because His desire is for relationship, not just rule-keeping.







✝️ 2. Grace Pursues Us




* Despite Gomer’s repeated betrayals, God tells Hosea: “Go and love your wife again.”



* Hosea finds Gomer enslaved and used up — yet he pays a price to redeem her.



* This is a powerful picture of the gospel: God sent Jesus Christ to buy us back with His blood when we were enslaved to sin.



* God’s grace doesn’t wait for us to get our act together — it comes looking for us right where we are.




💡 Key Truth: Redemption always costs something. Hosea paid silver and barley. God paid with His Son.







🌱 3. The Promise of Restoration




* God doesn’t just forgive — He restores:

* “I will win her heart back.” (Hosea 2:14)



* “I will make you my wife forever.” (Hosea 2:19)





* Just as the Japanese art of Kintsugi turns broken pottery into beauty by filling the cracks with gold, God fills the broken places in our lives with His grace.



* What was once shameful becomes a testimony of His power and love.




💭 Reflection: God doesn’t erase your past — He redeems it. Your scars become part of a greater story of grace.







🙌 Application: We Are Gomer




* Hosea represents God.



* Gomer represents us — wandering, unfaithful, easily drawn to lesser loves.



* Yet God pursues, redeems, and restores us every single time.



* The gospel is not about us finding God — it’s about God finding us.




📣 Key Takeaway:




“Sin may write you off, but grace always writes you back in.”








🕊️ Final Challenge




* To the wanderer: God is calling you home.



* To the broken: God can restore what was lost.

* 1 Chronicles 4:10



* Matthew 25:16-18



* Matthew 25:29














Life is short, time is moving fast, and every day is a gift from God. Just like the parable of the talents, God has entrusted each of us with time, abilities, and resources. How we invest them determines the eternal impact of our lives.



Key Points




* Life is a Vapor

* Time passes quickly—from our teens to our later years.



* Pastor Gene used a jar of jelly beans to illustrate: each jelly bean represents one week of life, and we only have so many.



* The question: How will you spend your jelly beans?





* Stewardship Matters

* God owns everything—we are only managers.



* Our time, talent, and treasure must be stewarded for God’s purposes.



* Life may not be fair, but God expects us to faithfully use what we do have.





* Use It or Lose It

* In the parable, the servants who invested were rewarded.



* The one who buried his talent lost everything.



* If we hide our gifts, God calls it “wicked and lazy.”



* The principle is true: use it, or lose it.





* Recognize and Invest God’s Gifts

* Pray boldly for God’s blessing and expanded influence, like Jabez.



* Work diligently as if working for the Lord, not just an employee.



* Saved people save people—our gifts are meant to bless others.





* Eternal Perspective

* Material things fade, but what we do for God lasts forever.



* Relationships and souls are what truly matter.



* We are blessed to be a blessing.





* The Call to Action

* Invest your life in the things that matter most—bringing people to Jesus.



* Don’t wait for “someday.” Start with what you have now.



* Pastor Gene challenged the church to a vision: see 500 people saved next year.






Final Challenge



Every week is precious. Every gift matters. Every season of life is an opportunity to serve God. The question we must all answer:



👉 How will you invest the rest of your days?

Jesus is still in the rescue business. He not only forgives sin and heals hearts, but He also calls us to help carry others to Him.



Key Points

* Serving and loving others will cost you something—but God rewards every risk taken for His Kingdom.





* Don’t Stop Believing

* The paralyzed man was healed because of their faith—the faith of his friends.



* Keep praying, keep inviting, keep believing for your family, friends, and loved ones.



* Testimonies of persistent faith show that one invitation, one prayer, one act of faith can change everything.





* Share Your Story

* Jesus told the healed man to pick up his mat. The mat symbolized his past, his pain, and his testimony.



* Your “mat” is not about how bad you were, but about how good God is.



* Your story has power to influence those around you more than any sermon.






Takeaways

* Don’t disqualify yourself because of your past—God delights in using imperfect people.

Reflection Questions

* What risk is God asking you to take for His Kingdom right now?



* How has God used your past “mat” as a testimony of His goodness?

Main Points Takeaways for Today August 31, 2025 Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts.

* John 9:1-3



* John 9:6-7



* John 9:35-38














Only Jesus can satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. We try to fill the God-shaped hole with possessions, relationships, or achievements, but only Christ brings true fulfillment, healing, and vision.







Main Points




* Only Jesus Can Satisfy

* Knockoffs and substitutes in life never measure up.



* Degrees, titles, promotions, and possessions can’t fill the God-sized hole within us.



* Jesus alone is the Living Water and Light of the World.





* Jesus Heals What is Broken

* Our culture is obsessed with self—selfies, self-promotion, and self-centeredness.



* A life focused only on me leads to emptiness, pride, or self-loathing.



* A God-centered life brings peace, purpose, and joy.



* “My story is all about Jesus.”





* Jesus Restores What is Lost

* The blind man’s healing (John 9:6–7) required faith to obey even when it seemed messy.



* Sometimes God allows us to walk with “mud in our eyes” before the miracle.



* The biggest faith is walking between the mess and the miracle.



* Even in unanswered prayers, God’s power is still on display.





* Jesus Shows the Way

* Religion criticizes, but Jesus restores.



* After being healed, the man encounters Jesus and responds with worship.



* Worship is the natural response of seeing who Jesus truly is.



* Jesus not only opens physical eyes but also gives spiritual sight.










Takeaways for Today




* True satisfaction isn’t found in self or substitutes—it’s only in Jesus.



* Your story is not about you; it’s about Christ working through you.



* Don’t give up when you feel “stuck in the mud.” Sometimes the miracle is what God is doing inside of you.



* Worship is the overflow of recognizing Jesus as Lord.



* Clear vision comes when we stop pretending we’re fine and surrender to the One who heals.

Key Points

* Demons recognized Jesus’ authority and had to submit.



* Do we recognize His authority as clearly as they did?



* As believers, we carry spiritual authority in Christ—darkness must flee when Jesus’ name is spoken.





* Don’t Open Doors to Darkness

* Stay away from tarot, Ouija boards, psychics, and counterfeit spiritual practices.



* Parents: guard your home and your children—be alert to what they watch, read, and bring into your home.





* A Changed Story Leads to a Mission

* The man set free wanted to follow Jesus, but Jesus sent him back to his people to testify.



* Your story of freedom becomes someone else’s hope.



* Revival often costs more than we expect—are we willing to pay the price?






Takeaway



You are not a has been—you are a had been.




* I had been addicted… but Jesus set me free.



* I had been broken… but Jesus restored me.



* I had been lost… but Jesus gave me new life.




Your story doesn’t end in the tombs—Jesus brings resurrection power, and He wants to use your transformed life to set others free.

* Luke 19:8-9














Your story does not have to end the way it began. God is the story changer. Through His grace, He can take broken, unwanted, and overlooked people and make them brand new.







📖 Key Points




* God Can Rewrite Your Story

* No matter your past—whether addiction, depression, poverty, or broken relationships—God brings blessing, freedom, and transformation.



* The gospel isn’t about making good people better; it’s about making broken people new.





* Zacchaeus: The Unwanted and Unclean

* Chief tax collector, seen as a traitor and thief by his own people.



* Climbed the ladder of success by stepping on others, only to find emptiness and loneliness at the top.



* Like Zacchaeus, many today discover that worldly success cannot fill the void inside.





* Lonely at the Top vs. Fulfilled in Christ

* There are two “crash-out” moments:

* Hitting rock bottom.



* Reaching the top, only to feel empty.





* True wealth is found in relationships, family, and living for God’s purpose.





* Climbing the Tree

* Zacchaeus wanted to see Jesus, but the crowd blocked his view.



* Many today still can’t see Jesus because of the “crowd”—Christians or churches that push people away.



* As the Church, we must always make room for those who are not here yet.





* The Invitation of Grace

* Jesus saw Zacchaeus, called him by name, and invited Himself to his house.



* Grace finds us where we are, even when others reject us.



* Encounters with Jesus aren’t limited to the church building—He meets us in everyday life.





* A Changed Heart

* Zacchaeus responded with repentance and generosity:

* Giving half of his wealth to the poor.



* Restoring fourfold what he had stolen.





* Transformation is seen in actions—repentance leads to reconciliation and blessing.





* From Traitor to Son

* The crowd called him a sinner, a thief, and a traitor.



* Jesus called him “Son.”



* In Christ, labels are erased, and our true identity is restored.










🙌 Takeaway



If God could change Zacchaeus—the most despised man in Jericho—He can change your story too. Grace sees you, calls you by name, and invites you into a brand-new life.







🔑 Key Quote from Pastor Gene

Rahab’s journey from a stained past to a place in the lineage of Jesus is a powerful reminder that His redemption changes lives, families, and futures. August 10, 2025




* Joshua 2:1



* Joshua 2:8-11



* Joshua 2:18



* James 2:25



* Matthew 1:1, 5-6














God specializes in rewriting stories—no matter how they begin. Rahab’s journey from a stained past to a place in the lineage of Jesus is a powerful reminder that His redemption changes lives, families, and futures.



Sermon Highlights:




* We All Have a Stained Past

* Rahab was known as “the prostitute,” but her identity wasn’t limited to her past mistakes.



* Many people are products of generational dysfunction—yet God can break curses and start a new legacy.



* Our worth is found in God’s redemption, not in our history.





* Faith Begins with Hearing

* Rahab hadn’t sat under Torah teaching—she simply heard the testimonies of God’s power.



* Testimonies can travel beyond church walls, even into the “enemy’s camp.”



* She believed in the God she heard about and acted on that belief.





* The Scarlet Rope — A Symbol of Hope

* The same rope used for secrecy in sin became a lifeline of salvation.



* Symbolic of the blood of the Lamb in the Passover—where judgment “passes over” those covered.



* When the city fell, the safest place was Rahab’s home—proof that God redeems unlikely places.





* Faith Leads to Action

* Rahab’s faith moved her to hide the spies, protect them, and hang the rope as instructed.



* We don’t work to earn salvation—we work because of salvation.



* A redeemed life becomes a red rope for others, pointing them to Christ.





* From Prostitute to Ancestor of Jesus

* Rahab married Salmon; their son Boaz married Ruth.



* Rahab became great-great-grandmother to King David—part of Jesus’ genealogy.



* Jesus embraced a lineage that included imperfect people, showing all are welcome in God’s family.






Life Application:




* God can rewrite your story, no matter how it started.



* Your decision to follow Jesus can change the destiny of your children and grandchildren.



* Hang out the “red rope” for others—extend grace, not judgment.

Have you ever felt like God showed up too late? Like you were praying, hoping, and believing—but nothing happened? In today’s message, Pastor Gene walks us through the final “I Am” statement of Jesus: “I am the resurrection and the life.” Through the story of Lazarus, we discover a life-giving truth: God’s delays are not God’s denials.



Even when things seem dead and buried—your dreams, your hope, your faith—Jesus isn’t afraid to step into the stink of our lives. Just like He called Lazarus out of the tomb, He is calling you out of your grave of disappointment, shame, trauma, or sin. And not only does He call you out—He sets you free.







🔑 Key Takeaways:




* God’s timing may be confusing, but it’s never wrong. Jesus waited two extra days before going to Lazarus—because He had resurrection in mind, not just healing.



* Delays are not denials. Sometimes the delay is protection or preparation for something greater.



* Jesus doesn’t just fix things—He feels things. He weeps with us. He enters into our pain and loss.



* Faith and obedience come before the miracle. Rolling away the stone required action and belief—even when it looked too late.



* You can come out of the grave, but still be bound. Jesus calls us not just to salvation, but to freedom.



* He’s not done yet. Just like Jesus folded His grave clothes to signify His return—He’s coming back for His Church.








📌 Call to Action:



Are you still wrapped in grave clothes? Do you feel stuck in the tomb of your past or your pain? Jesus is calling your name. Will you respond?

Main Theme:



Jesus boldly declares, “I am the Good Shepherd,” offering a powerful picture of His love, leadership, and protection over our lives. In a world filled with noise and confusion, Pastor Gene reminds us how vital it is to recognize and follow the voice of our Shepherd.







Key Points:



1. The Good Shepherd Speaks to Us




* Just like sheep learn to recognize the shepherd’s unique call, we must learn to recognize God’s voice.



* Jesus still speaks—but are we still listening?



* Voices of the world distract us, but God’s voice is clear: slow down, forgive, give, serve, trust.



* The more we obey, the more we’ll hear Him.




2. The Good Shepherd Saves Us




* Jesus is not just the Shepherd—He is also the gate (John 10:7–9).



* Salvation doesn’t come by religious rituals or good works—it comes by walking through His door.



* “Jesus saves” means more than a ticket to heaven—it means healing, freedom, and restoration from every form of brokenness.




3. The Good Shepherd Supplies Our Needs




* John 10:10: “I came that they may have life, and have it more abundantly.”



* God is not promising riches—He’s promising abundance in peace, strength, and joy.



* Psalm 23 reminds us: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.”




4. The Good Shepherd Shields Us




* Jesus willingly laid down His life for His sheep (John 10:11,14).



* He is not a hired hand—He is the true Shepherd who died for us.



* In the Old Testament, sheep died for sin. In the New Testament, the Shepherd dies in place of the sheep.




5. The Good Shepherd Secures Us




* John 10:27–28: “No one will snatch them out of my hand.”



* When we belong to Jesus, our eternity is secure—He chases after us, even when we stray.



* Romans 8:38–39 confirms nothing can separate us from His love—not death, not failure, not fear.








Closing Illustration:



Pastor Gene tells a story of his son Landon hearing his dad’s voice in a crowded stadium. Just like Landon, we must learn to distinguish the Father’s voice from all the other noise. The difference between a performer and someone who knows the Shepherd? “You may know Psalm 23—but I know the Shepherd.”

* John 15:1, 2



* Matthew 7:16



* John 15:3



* John 15:4



* John 15:6














In this message, Pastor Gene reminds us that while we live in a microwave culture, we serve a slow-cook God. We often want instant blessings and overnight spiritual growth, but Jesus calls us to abide—to remain connected to Him like branches to a vine.



This sermon is part of the “I Am” summer series, where we dive into the identity of Jesus as He reveals Himself in Scripture. In today’s message, we focus on Jesus’ third “I Am” statement: “I am the vine.”







Main Points:



1. Jesus is the Vine — The True Source




* Our spiritual nourishment, identity, and growth all flow from Jesus.



* Being a descendant of Abraham or having religious heritage isn’t enough. Only connection to Jesus produces spiritual fruit.



* All vines don’t lead to heaven—only Jesus does.




2. Pruning is Part of Growth




* He prunes the fruitful branches so they can bear even more fruit. (John 15:2)



* Pruning is painful, but it’s purposeful. God removes what’s unnecessary or unhealthy—not to punish, but to promote.



* Fruitfulness doesn’t eliminate pruning; it invites it.




3. Provision Comes Through the Vine




* You can’t bear fruit by yourself—it only comes by remaining in the vine.



* Like a power strip plugged into nothing, our lives lack energy and effectiveness when we’re disconnected from God.



* The more we abide in Jesus, the more fruit naturally flows out of our lives.




4. The Plea of the Vine — Stay Connected




* Jesus gives a warning: disconnected branches wither and are thrown away.



* The good news? We don’t have to stay in the dirt. God lifts us, cleanses us, and gives us new purpose.



* Don’t try to “plug in” to yourself—real power only comes from Jesus.








Powerful Analogies:




* Microwave vs. Slow Cooker: God develops us through time and process.



* Vineyard Visual: True fruit only grows when branches are connected to the vine.



* Newton’s Cradle: What you invest in spiritually determines what flows out.



* Power Strip: We’re powerless unless we’re plugged into the right source—Jesus.








Application Challenge:




* Abide daily – Don’t settle for a Sunday-only connection. Make time for prayer, worship, and the Word each day.



* Embrace pruning – Let God cut back distractions, attitudes, or relationships that hinder your growth.



* Check your fruit – What is your life producing? Your fruit shows who you’re connected to.



* Simplify and reconnect – Unplug from busyness and burnout. Make your relationship with Jesus the priority this summer.

Pastor Gene addresses the erosion of fatherhood in society and media, affirming that godly masculinity is not outdated—it’s necessary. Whether you’re a father, a single mom raising sons, a young man preparing for the future, or a woman seeking God’s best, this message is for you.

* Matthew 7:13-14



* Romans 10:9



* Acts 4:12



* Acts 16:31

Pastor Gene unpacks Jesus’ bold declaration in John 10:9—“I am the door.” Drawing parallels from the game show Let’s Make a Deal, he challenges us to consider the spiritual doors we’re choosing in our daily lives. Jesus isn’t just one of many options—He’s the only way to salvation, protection, purpose, and eternal life.



Pastor Gene also revisits the story of the blind man from John 9 to help us see the context behind Jesus’ words. When religion pushes people out, Jesus welcomes them in. When life gets confusing, Jesus makes the path clear. And when we feel lost, Jesus becomes the door to peace, identity, and a future filled with promise.



Whether you’re new to faith or rekindling your walk with God, this message is a timely invitation to step through the one door that truly leads to life.







🔑 Key Takeaways:




* Jesus is not one of many doors—He is the door.



* The door to God is not through religion, rules, or ritual—but through a relationship with Jesus.



* The invitation is open to anyone and everyone who will believe.



* The door offers not just access to God, but protection, purpose, and power.



* There is no spiritual fine print—grace is a free gift, not a hidden deal.

* 2 Chronicles 7:14














Pastor Gene Bebee challenges us to examine how our personal preferences can become prisons that keep us stuck—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. Drawing from 1 Samuel 16, where God tells Samuel to stop mourning over Saul and anoint a new king, Pastor Gene reminds us that sometimes we cling so tightly to what we want that we miss what God has for us.



Using the cultural reference of the show Love Is Blind, he illustrates how letting go of our typical preferences can lead to unexpected blessings. Just like the show’s participants choose connection over appearance, God invites us to choose obedience over comfort.



Pastor Gene addresses the emotional toll of being stuck—whether in grief, disappointment, or unmet expectations—and emphasizes that God continues to speak even in our stuck seasons. He shares personal stories of how God’s voice broke through when he was clinging to his own plans and preferences.



The heart of the message is this: clinging to preference can cause us to miss God’s promise. Like the Israelites who demanded a king before God’s timing and ended up with Saul, we risk trading God’s best for our short-sighted desires.



Key takeaways from the sermon include:




* Don’t confuse your preference with God’s promise.



* God sometimes closes doors to open better ones.



* Obedience requires surrender—even when it’s uncomfortable.



* There’s a time to mourn, but also a time to get up and move forward.



* We must consistently turn toward God, not back to our past.




Pastor Gene calls us to surrender our preferences to God, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane, saying, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” Only by submitting our will can we walk in true freedom and fully receive what God has in store.

Shame is a powerful tool used by the enemy to paralyze us, distort our identity, and keep us from embracing God’s grace and walking in the freedom Jesus offers. Key Points: May 11, 2025 First service in our new campus! Shame is a powerful tool used by the enemy to paralyze us, distort our identity, and keep us from embracing God’s grace and walking in the freedom Jesus offers. Key Points: May 11, 2025

* 2 Corinthians 5:21



* Hebrews 12:2



* Romans 8:1














Shame is a powerful tool used by the enemy to paralyze us, distort our identity, and keep us from embracing God’s grace and walking in the freedom Jesus offers.







Key Points:




* What is the Shame Game?

* It’s the internal battle where past mistakes and regrets control our present.



* Shame keeps us stuck, frozen, and visionless.



* When the enemy can’t control your future, he’ll remind you of your past.





* Shame vs. Guilt:

* Guilt says, “I did something wrong.”



* Shame says, “I am something wrong.”



* Shame attacks identity and convinces people they are unworthy, unloved, and not enough.





* The Masks We Wear:

* To hide shame, we often wear masks:

* Social media mask – projecting perfection online



* Work mask – acting in control and put-together



* Home mask – revealing more of our struggles



* Church mask – pretending everything is okay spiritually





* Wearing masks is exhausting. The real healing begins when we remove them.





* Biblical Insight on Shame:

* Shame originated in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3).



* Adam and Eve hid from God after disobeying Him due to shame.



* Shame causes us to hide from God and others.



* But God doesn’t want us hidden—He wants us healed.





* God’s Truth vs. Shame’s Lies:

* Lie: “Because I made a mistake, I am a mistake.”



* Truth: You are not what you did—Jesus took your punishment.



* Trying to outperform past mistakes is a trap; you’ll never be “good enough” on your own.





* God’s Grace and Identity:

* If you’re in Christ, you are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).



* Your identity isn’t in your title or past but in being a son or daughter of God.



* Your value is determined by the price paid for you—Jesus’s life.





* Freedom from Shame:

* Romans 8:1: “There is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.”



* Shame has no power over your promise or position.



* Approach God not as a condemned sinner but as a loved child—fully forgiven and restored.

* Philippians 3:7-8



* Philippians 3:12-14



* Luke 19:30-31



* Luke 19:41



* Luke 19:42














Pastor Gene begins with a story about a boy born with a limp who, against all odds, climbs a towering mountain. The message is clear: pain can either break us or shape us. Like the boy, we must press on through hardship, drawing a powerful parallel to how Jesus didn’t give up—even when it meant going to the cross.



Main Themes:



1. Pain Has Purpose




* Pain refines us, develops our character, and teaches us how to rise.



* Jesus endured pain for our freedom—we too must endure and not give up.




2. Press On




* Drawing from Philippians 3:7–14, Pastor Gene emphasizes Paul’s resolve to press on toward his divine calling.



* Paul counted all his worldly achievements as “garbage” compared to knowing Christ.



* We’re reminded not to let past pain or present struggles stop us—keep pressing on.




3. Live for an Audience of One




* Too often we live to impress people who don’t ultimately matter.



* Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, not a chariot—choosing humility over appearance.



* We should live to please God, not the crowd.




4. Celebrate What’s Important, Not Just What’s Impressive




* The world celebrates success, image, and performance.



* But faithfulness, consistency, and honoring God deserve recognition too—especially in our children and youth.



* Celebrate spiritual growth, regular church attendance, and living with integrity.




5. Holy Week Reflection




* Jesus wept over Jerusalem because the people misunderstood His purpose.



* They wanted a political king; He came to bring spiritual peace.



* The closer Jesus got to the cross, the more people misunderstood and abandoned Him.



* We are invited to reflect, reset, and realign our hearts with God’s purpose this Holy Week.








Key Takeaways:




* Don’t quit—press on.



* Don’t live to impress others—live for Jesus.



* Celebrate what matters most: a life aligned with God.



* This Holy Week, take time to reflect, reset, and remember.

* Romans 13:4

* 1 Corinthians 15:33

Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on transformation and surrender to God. He begins by challenging the congregation with the question, “Why not me?”—emphasizing that anyone can be used by God if they commit to heart change. He highlights that true transformation starts with a change of heart, which then influences the mind and ultimately behavior.



Using the metaphor of a police arrest, he stresses the need to surrender completely to God, laying down anything we prioritize above Him. He references Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 12:1, urging believers to trust in the Lord and present themselves as living sacrifices.



Pastor Gene also uses the analogy of a lifeguard waiting for a drowning person to stop struggling before rescuing them, illustrating how Jesus waits for us to surrender so He can lift us up. He warns against self-reliance, addictions, and misplaced priorities, urging people to “lay it down” before God.



The second part of the sermon focuses on “filling the gap.” He explains that when we remove bad habits or influences, we must replace them with Godly habits, or else unhealthy patterns will return. He warns against merely appearing spiritual without real transformation, emphasizing the need to feed our minds with scripture, worship, and uplifting community.



Pastor Gene challenges listeners to make small daily improvements, recognizing that spiritual growth is a marathon, not a sprint. He encourages believers to surround themselves with people who uplift them, avoid toxic influences, and be intentional about their spiritual input. He closes by urging those ready to commit to Jesus to make a decision for Christ, leading them in a salvation prayer.



The overarching message is one of surrender, transformation, and daily intentional growth in faith.

Pastor Gene’s sermon, titled Dare to Dream Again, encourages believers to rekindle the God-given dreams they may have abandoned due to life’s hardships. Using the biblical story of Joseph, he emphasizes that God’s dreams cannot be stopped, even when faced with rejection, jealousy, betrayal, or hardship.



Key points from the sermon:




* Your Current Reality is Not Your Final Destiny – Just because dreams seem delayed doesn’t mean God is finished with them.



* Joseph’s Journey – Pastor Gene recounts Joseph’s life, from his coat of many colors and his brothers’ jealousy to his journey through rejection, slavery, false accusations, and imprisonment. Each challenge was a stepping stone to his destiny.



* Handling Rejection and Hardship – Joseph’s faith and character remained intact despite betrayal. He didn’t allow bitterness to define him, and he remained faithful even in difficult circumstances.



* Wisdom in Sharing Dreams – Pastor Gene advises caution in sharing visions, as not everyone will support them. Some will be confidants (genuinely for you), while others are only situational allies.



* God’s Favor is Unstoppable – No one can take away the favor of God. Even in the pit, slavery, and prison, Joseph found success because God’s presence remained with him.



* Patience and Timing – Dreams often take time to mature. While people desire quick results, God’s process is like a slow-cooking method that develops character and readiness.



* Redemption and Purpose – Eventually, Joseph’s trials positioned him to fulfill God’s purpose—saving his family and an entire nation. Instead of seeking revenge, he extended grace, understanding that what others meant for evil, God used for good.



* A Call to Renew Dreams – Pastor Gene closes by urging the congregation to trust in God’s process, remain faithful, and reclaim dreams they’ve let go of.




The sermon is a powerful reminder that setbacks are often setups for something greater. Faith, character, and perseverance in difficult seasons lead to the fulfillment of God’s plans.

Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on the theme of authenticity and breaking free from the masks we wear. He emphasizes that just as people constantly label us, we often wear masks to hide our true selves due to fear, insecurity, or societal expectations.



He warns that while the devil seeks to destroy our testimony, the greatest enemy we often face is ourselves—our own doubts, negative self-talk, and imposter syndrome. Many struggle with feeling unworthy of God’s blessings and attempt to maintain an image that others expect, rather than embracing their true identity in Christ.



Pastor Gene encourages believers to take control of their thoughts, making them obedient to Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. He highlights that our value should not be based on achievements, approval, or possessions, as these fluctuate. Instead, our worth is rooted in God’s unconditional love.



He urges parents to affirm their children beyond accomplishments, teaching them they have intrinsic worth. Similarly, adults should stop seeking validation through performance and embrace the truth that they are already loved and chosen by God.



The sermon concludes with a challenge to remove the masks, walk in authenticity, and trust that God calls and equips those He chooses. Pastor Gene reminds the congregation that God affirms us not because of what we do, but because of who we are in Him. The final call to action is to let go of the weight of others’ opinions and live in the freedom God provides.

Pastor Gene’s sermon, titled “Why Not Me?”, focuses on overcoming negative labels and embracing God’s calling. He begins by addressing the power of words, explaining that while physical wounds heal, hurtful words can stick with us for a lifetime. He encourages listeners to peel off the labels that others have placed on them.



Using the story of David from 1 Samuel 16-17, Pastor Gene illustrates how David was overlooked by his own family and labeled as insignificant. However, despite being the youngest and least expected, God chose him to be king. David’s journey—from being ignored to defeating Goliath—shows that God’s plans are not based on human perception but on the heart.



Pastor Gene emphasizes that:




* You may feel overlooked, but you’re not unnoticed – God sees and values each person.



* David was anointed but not yet appointed – Sometimes, God calls us before the opportunity arises, requiring patience and faithfulness in the small things.



* You can’t defeat your giant wearing someone else’s label – David had to remove Saul’s armor and fight in his own way, demonstrating that we must reject false labels and embrace our God-given identity.




The sermon concludes with a call to remove limiting labels, trust in God’s plan, and boldly declare, “Why not me?”

Pastor Gene’s sermon, titled “Why Not Me?”, encourages believers to trust that God can use anyone for His purpose, regardless of their flaws, doubts, or past mistakes. Drawing from the story of Moses, Pastor Gene emphasizes that God prepares us through our life experiences for future assignments.



Key points from the sermon include:




* Overcoming Self-Doubt: Just like Moses questioned, “Why me?”, many people feel unworthy or underqualified for God’s calling. Pastor Gene stresses that faith allows us to shift from asking “Why me?” to declaring “Why not me?”—believing that if God can use others, He can use us too.



* God’s Preparation: Every aspect of Moses’ life—from his rescue as a baby to his time as a shepherd—was a divine setup for leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Similarly, our past experiences, even hardships, are part of God’s preparation for our future roles.



* Trusting in God’s Power: When Moses asked, “Who are You?”, God responded with “I Am,” signifying that God’s presence and power are sufficient. Pastor Gene encourages believers to trust that God will equip them for their calling.



* Using What’s in Your Hand: God used Moses’ staff to demonstrate His power. The sermon urges us to recognize that God wants to use the talents and resources we already have to fulfill His mission.

Throughout the sermon, Pastor Gene shares personal anecdotes to illustrate how God’s hand has been on his life, preparing him for ministry. He calls the congregation to join him in stepping into their divine assignments, trusting that God’s plans are greater than their limitations.

* Ephesians 1:4-5



* Romans 8:15-16



* Ephesians 2:19-20














Pastor Gene’s sermon emphasizes the importance of community and belonging in God’s family. He begins by illustrating how dogs instinctively seek closeness, comparing this to God’s design for humanity—we were never meant to do life alone. He references Genesis, where God declares it is not good for man to be alone, extending this beyond marriage to emphasize the necessity of spiritual family.



Drawing from Ephesians 1, Pastor Gene highlights how God has adopted believers into His family out of love and not obligation. He explains that in Roman culture, adoption was primarily about passing down an inheritance, just as God desires to share His blessings with His children. He reminds the congregation that God has “drafted” them onto His team, choosing them with purpose.



Pastor Gene stresses that God is a good father, contrasting Him with imperfect earthly parents. He encourages the church to let go of past hurts and not project their disappointments onto God, who is always faithful and present. He references Romans 8:15-16, emphasizing that as adopted children, believers can confidently call God “Abba, Father.”



The sermon also underscores that being part of God’s family means being part of the church. He challenges listeners to move from being mere consumers to active contributors, participating in the church’s mission. He likens church to a family meal rather than a restaurant—where everyone contributes rather than simply consuming.



In closing, Pastor Gene invites the congregation to embrace their spiritual family, serve together, and live with the identity of being chosen, loved, and supported by both God and their fellow believers. He encourages them to move from acquaintances to family, concluding with a declaration: “We Are Family.”

* Ephesians 1:11



* Colossians 3:1



* Revelation 21:3-4



* Ephesians 1:14














Pastor Gene’s sermon uses vivid analogies and scriptural teachings to encourage believers to focus on the eternal promises of heaven and their inheritance through Christ. He begins by comparing the excitement for an upcoming concert or game to the joy Christians should feel about the “good news” of the gospel. This revelation should lead to a mindset of blessing and positivity, despite life’s challenges.



Drawing from Ephesians 1:11 and other scriptures, Pastor Gene emphasizes the spiritual inheritance believers receive through faith in Jesus Christ. He notes that, like earthly inheritances given in stages, part of this divine inheritance is experienced now, while the fullness awaits us in eternity.



Key points of the sermon include:




* Setting Sight on Heaven: Pastor Gene contrasts misconceptions of heaven (such as floating on clouds) with biblical descriptions of a vibrant, purposeful place reminiscent of Eden. Heaven is depicted as a city with streets of gold, rivers, and meaningful work tied to purpose.



* New Realities in Heaven: Believers can look forward to a new home, new bodies free from pain, joyful work, and reunions with loved ones and biblical figures.



* Adjusting Perspective: Inspired by a story of Mike Tyson’s resilience, Pastor Gene urges listeners to adopt a “win even in loss” attitude by remembering that earthly trials are temporary compared to heavenly glory.



* Holding onto the Spirit as a Guarantee: The Spirit of God is described as a down payment of the inheritance that awaits believers, reminding them that this world is not their home.

* The Need for Hope: Just as the body requires essentials like food, water, and air, the soul requires hope to survive. Pastor Gene emphasized that losing hope leads to despair, while faith in Jesus provides a resilient source of hope.



* God’s Plan and Authority: Referencing Ephesians 1, Pastor Gene taught that God has a plan for everyone, a plan that is good and cannot be thwarted by circumstances, governments, or hardships. He emphasized the importance of submitting to the authority of Christ, as blessings and spiritual fulfillment flow from that submission.



* Trusting God’s Timing: He highlighted that God works according to His timing, not ours, and that faith requires trusting God’s plan even when life “stinks” or doesn’t make sense.



* Living as God’s Masterpiece: Pastor Gene reminded listeners that they are uniquely crafted by God for good works (Ephesians 2:10). He encourages you to stop speaking negatively about yourself, as doing so is like criticizing God’s masterpiece.



* Being the Good News: The pastor stressed that Christian responsibility extends beyond Sunday worship. Followers of Christ are called to live with excellence and kindness in their daily lives—at work, school, and in the community—becoming living testimonies of God’s love.



* Practical Faith: He urges the congregation to focus less on overcomplicated spiritual tests and more on simply doing good works and embodying the good news of Jesus.

Pastor Gene’s sermon emphasizes the transformative power of God’s grace and mercy, contrasting human tendencies to earn favor with God’s gift of salvation, which is freely given. Using personal anecdotes, he highlights the joy of receiving undeserved mercy, likening it to being forgiven a penalty by law enforcement.



The central message revolves around Ephesians 1 and 2, where Paul describes believers as “already blessed” with every spiritual blessing through unity with Christ. Pastor Gene stresses that salvation is a gift, not a reward for good deeds, and that Jesus “came down the ladder” to bring forgiveness to humanity. This realization, he argues, should lead to a life of gratitude, service, and love.



Key takeaways include:




* Receiving Forgiveness: Understand that God’s forgiveness is unearned and complete.



* Practicing Forgiveness: Forgive others as God forgave us, resisting anger and offense in a divisive world.



* Living Blessed: Recognize and live in the assurance of God’s love, grace, and eternal promise, regardless of circumstances.

Pastor Gene’s sermon revolves around the theme “Blessed,” which he introduces as the church’s focus for the new year. He emphasizes that true blessing transcends material possessions and resides in spiritual blessings provided by God. Here are the key points from the sermon:




* Definition of Blessing: Blessing is described as “God’s divine favor working in our lives.” Material blessings are temporary, while spiritual blessings bring security, purpose, and fulfillment in all areas of life.



* Spiritual vs. Material Focus: Pastor Gene encourages prioritizing spiritual blessings over material ones. Spiritual blessings provide a foundation that sustains life through all circumstances, including hardships.



* Paul’s Example: Drawing from Ephesians 1:3–4, Pastor Gene highlights the Apostle Paul’s declaration of being blessed with every spiritual blessing, even while imprisoned and stripped of all material possessions. This underscores the sufficiency of spiritual blessings in any situation.



* Core Spiritual Blessings:

* Being Loved: God’s love is unconditional, not based on performance, and was established before creation. It is secure, unstoppable, and the ultimate source of fulfillment.



* Being Chosen: Believers are chosen by God, a truth that should inspire humility and gratitude. This choice signifies being part of God’s family and reflects His intentional love.





* Application for 2025:

* Pastor Gene challenges the congregation to open their eyes to recognize and embrace the spiritual blessings they already possess.



* He calls for a shift in focus from external validation to internal contentment rooted in God’s love and choice.



* Over the next 21 days, he invites members to meditate on these blessings and experience a transformative realization of being “already blessed, loved, and chosen.”





* Call to Faith: The sermon concludes with an invitation for those who haven’t yet accepted Jesus to embrace His love and forgiveness, affirming that this relationship is the greatest blessing one can receive.




The sermon inspires a perspective change, urging listeners to prioritize spiritual fulfillment and live with the assurance of God’s unwavering love and blessings.

The sermon by Pastor Gene, part of the “Jesus Stories” series, focuses on the parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value (Matthew 13:44-46). These parables emphasize the incomparable worth of the Kingdom of Heaven, likened to a treasure or a pearl that one should be willing to give up everything to obtain.



Key Themes:




* The Kingdom’s Value: The Kingdom of Heaven is the greatest treasure one can discover. It offers salvation, a relationship with God, and eternal life.



* Heart and Perspective: Jesus taught in parables to reveal truths to those with open hearts while concealing them from others. Understanding the Kingdom requires a willing and receptive heart.



* Two Approaches:

* One parable describes a man stumbling upon the treasure unexpectedly, illustrating how some find the Kingdom by chance or through divine intervention.



* The other describes a merchant searching for pearls, symbolizing those actively seeking spiritual truth.





* Cost of the Kingdom: Obtaining the Kingdom requires giving everything. This mirrors the call to love God with all your heart, mind, and soul.



* The Trade: Believers are encouraged to “make the trade,” surrendering worldly values and temporary pleasures for the eternal treasures of God’s Kingdom.



* Application:

* Recognize the distractions of “fake treasures” like materialism, fleeting pleasures, or shallow pursuits.



* Embrace the joy and fulfillment found in the Kingdom.



* Share this treasure with others, especially during the Christmas season, when the focus is on Christ’s coming as the ultimate gift.






Pastor Gene’s Challenge:



This Christmas, prioritize the Kingdom of God above the hustle and materialism. Share the joy of the Gospel by inviting others to experience the treasure of a relationship with Christ.



Invitation:



Pastor Gene concludes by inviting listeners to surrender their lives to Jesus, making the ultimate trade: giving up their lives for the abundant life Jesus offers.

This sermon emphasizes the transformative power of forgiveness through the lens of biblical teaching.



The message begins with a reference to Joey Chestnut’s hot dog-eating records, drawing a parallel to overindulgence during Thanksgiving. However, the core of the sermon transitions to the topic of forgiveness, inspired by Peter’s question to Jesus in Matthew 18:21-22 about how many times one should forgive others.




* Unconditional Forgiveness: Jesus’ response to Peter—”70 times 7″—illustrates that forgiveness is not about a specific count but should be a continuous act for believers.



* The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant: Pastor Gene highlights the hypocrisy of the servant forgiven of an immense debt but unwilling to forgive a minor one. This serves as a reminder that forgiven people must also forgive others.



* The Burden of Unforgiveness: Holding on to bitterness and resentment affects mental, physical, and spiritual health. Jesus bore the weight of sin on the cross so that believers wouldn’t have to carry such burdens.



* Practical Application: Forgiveness is not necessarily about reconciliation or allowing harmful people back into one’s life but about releasing personal hurt and placing judgment in God’s hands. This leads to freedom and healing for the forgiver.



* Living Like Jesus: Pastor Gene encourages believers to embody forgiveness, grace, and humility as Jesus did, especially toward those who may not deserve it.




The sermon includes a story about a woman who forgave her estranged father, leading to his salvation and a reconciled relationship before his passing. This underscores the spiritual impact of forgiveness.



The message concludes with a call for introspection, urging the congregation to release their burdens to God and embrace the freedom that comes with forgiveness.

* Matthew 25:24-30














Pastor Gene’s sermon focuses on the parable of the talents (Matthew 25), emphasizing the importance of how we invest our lives for God’s kingdom. Key themes include:



1. Life as a Stewardship Responsibility




* Everything we have—our resources, time, talents, and relationships—belongs to God. We are managers, not owners.



* Faithful stewardship involves using these gifts for God’s purposes, not merely for personal gain.




2. Eternal Accountability




* We will all give an account to God for how we managed what He entrusted to us. This judgment will not be about our sins (which Christ has already paid for) but about how we invested our lives.



* The rewards are eternal, based on how well we used our resources to glorify God and serve others.




3. The Risks and Rewards of Faith




* The first two servants in the parable took risks, multiplying what was entrusted to them. They were commended by their master: “Well done, good and faithful servant.”



* Conversely, the third servant, who played it safe, was rebuked for his inaction.



* Faith requires taking risks for God, whether through sharing the gospel, serving, or giving sacrificially.




4. Practical Application




* Pastor Gene encourages believers to reevaluate their lives and take bold steps to invest in God’s kingdom.



* This might mean serving others, stepping out of comfort zones, or using resources creatively for eternal impact.




Closing Challenge



Pastor Gene calls for a shift in mindset from “owner” to “manager” and inspires the congregation to live boldly for Christ, knowing their faithful investment will yield both earthly and eternal rewards.

This sermon focuses on the concept of the “Jesus code,” which calls Christians to surpass personal and cultural codes of conduct and act with compassion, even toward those who have wronged or opposed them. Using the parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37, Pastor Gene illustrates how Jesus redefines what it means to love one’s neighbor—not just loving those who are similar or kind to us but extending grace and generosity to our enemies and those who challenge or inconvenience us.



The sermon emphasizes three main points:




* The Villain as the Hero: In Jesus’ story, the Samaritan—an enemy of the Jews—becomes the unexpected hero, challenging the audience’s biases and assumptions about who is worthy of compassion.



* Compassion Over Contempt: The Samaritan’s compassion, despite cultural enmity, reflects the type of radical love Jesus calls His followers to exhibit.



* Empathy Leading to Action: The Samaritan’s response goes beyond feeling pity; it leads to tangible and costly acts of service and care, contrasting with the inaction of the priest and Levite.




Pastor Gene shares personal stories to drive home the message, including an instance of helping a rival church and aiding a homeless man, demonstrating that living by the Jesus code requires sacrificial and unconditional love. The sermon closes with a challenge to the congregation: examine personal codes and be willing to adopt Jesus’ way of loving even the most difficult individuals, echoing Christ’s example of forgiving and loving humanity despite their sins.

The sermon by Pastor Gene focuses on the power of prayer, emphasizing three main lessons:




* Ask with Confidence: Pastor Gene illustrates that God wants believers to approach Him boldly, using personal anecdotes (e.g., teaching his children to drive and stories of his kids’ late-night requests) to emphasize that God is never bothered by our prayers, no matter how small or significant they seem. Just as children approach their parents with confidence, believers should approach God with that same boldness.



* Be Persistent: The sermon references a parable from Luke 11 about a man knocking on his neighbor’s door at midnight to request bread. Pastor Gene highlights that persistence in prayer is essential and should not be abandoned just because answers don’t come immediately. He warns against treating prayer like a casual knock and run, urging believers to stay persistent until God responds.



* Seek God’s Character: He underscores that God’s nature is marked by mercy and compassion. Pastor Gene shares that Jesus describes God as a loving Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children, encouraging believers to trust in His goodness and seek Him wholeheartedly.




The sermon concludes with an invitation to surrender to Christ and trust in His power and compassion, urging believers to make prayer their first resort and approach God with a sincere heart.

He uses personal stories, like how his kids keep him humble by pointing out his mistakes, October 6, 2024




* Luke 14:1



* Luke 14:8-9



* Luke 14:10-11



* Philippians 2:3



* Luke 14:12-14














Pastor Gene’s sermon centers on the theme of humility, which is something many of us struggle with, often without realizing it. He uses personal stories, like how his kids keep him humble by pointing out his mistakes, to illustrate the importance of staying grounded. He also shares humorous anecdotes about children’s blunt honesty, showing how humility can be a daily lesson.



The core of the sermon is a reflection on Luke 14:1-14, where Jesus attends a dinner hosted by a Pharisee. Pastor Gene emphasizes how Jesus was closely watched, reminding us that as Christians, we too are being observed by the world. But instead of striving for perfection, we should embrace the fact that we serve a perfect God whose grace covers our imperfections. The secret to spiritual growth, according to Pastor Gene, is humility. It’s through humbling ourselves that we align with God’s plan for our lives.



In the story from Luke, Jesus addresses those fighting for the best seats at the table. Pastor Gene uses this to highlight how we often try to promote ourselves or seek recognition, but Jesus teaches that it’s better to choose the lowest seat—to humble ourselves and let God elevate us. The Pharisees had tried to trap Jesus by seeing if He would heal a man on the Sabbath, but Jesus turned the situation around, proving that compassion takes precedence over legalism.



The pastor then draws a parallel between this lesson and our own lives, sharing his personal experience of being unexpectedly honored at an event. He encourages us not to promote ourselves but to let God promote us. When we focus on lifting others up and serving instead of striving for recognition, we reflect the heart of Jesus.



Pastor Gene also touches on how the world often teaches self-promotion, but Jesus flips that notion, teaching that serving others and choosing humility is the path to true greatness. He concludes by encouraging the congregation to bless others, not just those who can repay us but especially the poor, the lame, and the hurting, following Jesus’ example.



In summary, Pastor Gene’s message emphasizes the power of humility, serving others, and trusting God to elevate us in His perfect timing.

* Matthew 20:10-11



* 1 Corinthians 10:10-11



* Matthew 20:12



* Matthew 20:13-15



* Matthew 20:16














In this sermon, Pastor Gene discusses the significance of attitude, emphasizing how a bad attitude can negatively impact every aspect of life, including relationships, work, and one’s spiritual journey. He acknowledges that everyone experiences bad days but warns against letting them extend into bad weeks, months, or even years. A key point is that a bad attitude blocks God’s blessings and potential in one’s life.



Using the parable of the vineyard workers (Matthew 20), Pastor Gene illustrates how comparison and grumbling can rob people of their joy. The early workers were initially content with their agreed wages, but once they saw the latecomers receiving the same pay, they became upset. Pastor Gene warns that comparing oneself to others breeds resentment and a negative attitude.



He encourages the congregation to avoid grumbling and judgment, as they can delay God’s blessings. Instead, he urges a shift toward gratitude, focusing on the many blessings one already has, like the simple things others may lack. Pastor Gene also highlights the importance of not being jealous of others’ blessings but rather celebrating them, trusting that God has a unique plan for everyone.



He concludes by reminding the church that the Kingdom of God is about grace—receiving what we don’t deserve—and encourages them to adopt an attitude of gratitude, as it will lead to greater blessings and elevation in life.

* Proverbs 3:11-12



* Proverbs 3:1



* Proverbs 13:24














In Pastor Gene’s sermon “Build Your House Part 3,” he addresses the complexities of parenting and the importance of building a strong, godly home. He emphasizes that while modern advice can be overwhelming, the Bible offers timeless wisdom, especially in the Book of Proverbs, written by King Solomon. Solomon’s request for wisdom over riches pleased God, resulting in him becoming the wisest and wealthiest king. Pastor Gene draws from Proverbs to outline key elements of parenting and home-building.



He begins by highlighting the importance of having mentors and seeking advice from those who have successfully raised god-fearing children. He stresses that not everyone is qualified to give parenting advice, especially if they haven’t demonstrated success in their own family life. Pastor Gene acknowledges that he and his wife were not perfect parents but benefited greatly from the mentorship of others and his experience in youth ministry.



The sermon focuses on three main ingredients for building a godly home:




* Instruction: Pastor Gene stresses the need for clear and consistent instruction in the home. He uses Proverbs 3:1 to illustrate the importance of teaching and storing wisdom in the hearts of children. He compares building a home to following a detailed plan, emphasizing the necessity of intentionality in creating a family culture that prioritizes faith, trust, and commitment. He encourages parents to be deliberate in their planning and to create traditions that foster family bonding and communication.



* Correction: Correction is essential for healthy child development. Pastor Gene references Proverbs 3:11-12 and 13:24 to underscore that loving correction is a sign of genuine care. He advises against overly harsh or lenient discipline, advocating instead for a balanced approach that teaches children about consequences and the value of hard work. He warns against disciplining in anger, sharing personal anecdotes about the importance of calming down before correcting children. He emphasizes that correction should be about redirecting bad behavior rather than labeling the child as bad.



* Modeling: Parents should model the behavior they want to see in their children. Pastor Gene stresses the importance of kindness, respect, and integrity, showing that children learn more from what parents do than what they say. He encourages parents to demonstrate the values they want to instill, such as treating others with respect and handling conflicts with grace.




Pastor Gene concludes by reassuring parents that it’s never too late to start building a godly home culture. He acknowledges that mistakes are part of the journey but emphasizes the potential for growth and improvement at any stage. He calls on parents to embrace their role with intention and love, using biblical wisdom to guide their efforts.

In today’s continuation of the “Build Your House” series, Pastor Gene emphasizes the critical importance of intentionally building one’s family and personal life on a foundation designed by God. He warns that if we don’t actively shape our own lives and those of our children, the world will impose its own values and principles, leading to confusion, anxiety, and a lack of direction.



Pastor Gene references Proverbs 22:6, highlighting the wisdom in training up children in the way they should go, acknowledging that while this is not a guarantee, it significantly increases the likelihood of a successful, faith-centered life.



He shares personal insights from raising five children, underscoring that despite differing personalities and outcomes, a consistent foundation in faith has kept all his children serving the Lord. Pastor Gene stresses that living out one’s faith authentically and visibly is the most effective way to pass it on to the next generation.



He calls on parents to be committed to their faith, involve their children in church, and maintain a balance between spiritual and worldly activities. He also encourages guiding children’s friendships and continually reinforcing the values and teachings of God in everyday life.



To build a strong, faith-based household, parents must actively live out their faith, involve their children in church life, and consistently teach and model Godly principles. This intentional effort creates a sturdy foundation that will guide children throughout their lives, even through challenging times.

Pastor Gene’s sermon is part of a series called “Forgotten Heroes,” focusing on lesser-known people from the Bible to draw spiritual truths from their stories. Today’s message is about Naaman, a commander who had leprosy, highlighting the contrast between his public success and private struggle. Pastor Gene relates this to our lives, where we often hide our shame and struggles behind our accomplishments.



He emphasizes that pride can handicap us, using Naaman’s initial refusal to follow Elisha’s instructions as an example. Naaman’s pride and preferences initially hindered his healing, as he wanted a more dignified and private solution. However, through the intervention of his servants, who reasoned with him, Naaman humbled himself and followed the prophet’s directions, resulting in his miraculous healing.



Pastor Gene makes several key points:




* Pride handicaps us: Naaman’s pride almost prevented his healing.



* Preferences hinder us: We often want things our way, but God’s way is what brings healing.



* God uses people to humble us: Naaman’s servants helped him see past his pride.



* Healing can be a process: Naaman had to dip in the Jordan River seven times, illustrating that sometimes healing takes time and persistence.




He concludes by encouraging the congregation to make a move towards God, using the acronym MOVE:




* Make a decision to be faithful.



* Open the Bible for guidance.
