Sermon Notes

This week we begin a brand new series: Stuff He Actually Said - Walking through the words of Jesus with fresh ears and open hearts.

In Week 1, we look at why Jesus taught in parables (Matthew 13). Parables were more than simple stories they revealed the secrets of the Kingdom to those who were willing to hear and obey, while concealing truth from hardened hearts.

In this teaching we’ll discover:

• The purpose of Jesus’ parables
• How stories reveal AND conceal Kingdom truths
• Why obedience, not just hearing, makes the difference
• What it means to build your life on the rock of Christ

📖 Scripture: Matthew 13; Matthew 7:24–27
💬 Theme: Parables are invitations to both hear and obey
🙌 Don’t just listen—live it out this week!

Equipped to Lead – Week 27: “From Cave Dwellers to King’s Men”

This week’s message is a call to RISE.

God transforms cave dwellers into warriors, and warriors into leaders.

Don’t grieve the people who left. Build with the ones who stayed.

Every leader needs a few who have their back.

Are you ready to move from surviving to leading?

Sermon Notes

Legacy is built intentionally, not accidentally.

If you don’t lead, something else will.

Confront patterns that need to end

Speak blessing over the next generation

Guard your home from what’s trying to come in

And choose what your last name will represent

2 Samuel 13–18

Your family is worth the fight.

Sermon Notes

In Week 24 of Equipped to Lead, we walk through one of the most painful chapters in David’s story: the aftermath of his failure and the loss of his child.

But what we see in 2 Samuel 12 isn’t just sorrow—it’s recovery. This message unpacks nine biblical steps for moving forward when life falls apart.

You’ll learn how to acknowledge and process deep pain, worship through brokennes & step into God’s new chapter for your life

📖 Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:15–25 💬 Theme: God’s not done with you. Chaos isn’t the end of your calling.
