What makes a relationship strong enough to survive conflict, change, and disappointment?

Through the story of Titus, Pastor Chris Todd explores what lasting trust looks like: genuine care, honest motives, and the willingness to bring peace into difficult situations. Discover how faith in Jesus provides a deeper foundation for relationships—and why growing into someone others can depend on matters just as much as finding dependable friends.

If you’re navigating friendship struggles, tired of drama, or wondering how God can help you grow, this message offers a practical challenge. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re simply exploring faith, consider the kind of people you surround yourself with—and the kind of person you’re becoming.

But when our focus is distorted, darkness spreads throughout our hearts, decisions, and priorities.  In this sermon, we look at:  • What Jesus meant by “the eye is the lamp of the body”
• How our focus influences our spiritual health
• Why guarding what we look at matters more than we realize
• How to develop Kingdom vision in everyday life  If you’ve ever wondered how your attention, desires, and priorities shape your relationship with God, this message will challenge and encourage you.  📖 Scripture: Matthew 6:22–23

But His focus isn’t on outward performance — it’s on the posture of the heart.

In this message from our Keys to the Kingdom series, we explore:

• Why giving, praying, and fasting aren’t religious rituals

• The danger of performing for people instead of living before God

• How empty repetition can replace authentic prayer

• Why these disciplines are invitations into closeness with the Father

Jesus assumes His followers will give, pray, and fast — but He warns us not to turn them into spectacles. These practices aren’t about visibility. They’re about intimacy.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Am I doing this for God… or for people?”

This message is for you.

Not just murder, but anger.
Not just adultery, but lust.
Not just loving your neighbor, but loving your enemies.  And then He says something that stops us in our tracks:  “You must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”  If that’s the standard… who can be saved?  This sermon walks honestly through the tension of God’s holiness and our inability to meet it — and then leads us to the hope of the Gospel:
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”  If you’ve ever felt the weight of falling short, this message is for you.

It sounds impossible… and that’s exactly the point.  The good news?
Righteousness has never been about performance. It has always been about faith.  From Abraham to Moses to the cross, Scripture shows us that right standing with God doesn’t come from impressing Him — it comes from trusting Him.  If you’ve been trying to earn what Jesus already accomplished, this message is for you.  You don’t have to impress God.

And what happens when we misunderstand our role in the world?  

In this message from Matthew 5:13–16, we take a deeper look at Jesus’ words about salt and light—and discover that this teaching can’t be separated from the Beatitudes that come before it.  Through a powerful personal story, we’re reminded that good intentions alone are not enough, and that access to the Kingdom is determined by more than sincerity.

This message reframes a familiar passage and challenges us to consider whether our lives truly help others taste and see that the Lord is good.  In this sermon, you’ll explore: 
 
Why the world doesn’t need preservation—it needs restoration

How the Beatitudes define what it means to be salt and light

The difference between flavor and dilution in our witness

Why self-preservation can actually drive people away from Jesus

What it means to live a life that others can “taste and see”

This message is both a challenge and an encouragement—to live in a way that points clearly to Christ, not ourselves.
