Pastor Carl challenged the congregation to love as God loves, emphasizing that supernatural love is only possible through the Holy Spirit. He outlined that without the Spirit’s anointing and proper oversight, Christians may either become rigidly religious or veer into unhealthy extremes. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12, he highlighted the diversity and unity of spiritual gifts, which are given by God for the common good and to glorify Him. The misuse of spiritual gifts in Corinth, particularly tongues, revealed the […]

Pastor Carl explored the transformative journey of faith through three progressive stages: Christ in Me, Christ for Them, and Christ Among Us. He emphasized that faith begins with a personal relationship with Jesus, grounded in His love and sacrifice. This foundation brings peace, joy, and assurance of salvation, as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9 and Romans 8:38-39. However, faith matures as we share Christ’s love with others. Citing Acts 1:8, Pastor Carl challenged listeners to become witnesses, filled with the Holy […]

In this sermon, Pastor Carl explores the Christian call to embody “agape” love—a divine, unconditional love that goes beyond personal preferences and societal divisions. Drawing from Exodus 15:22–26, he recounts the Israelites’ journey from miraculous liberation to their challenging encounter at Marah, where they faced bitter waters. This situation, Pastor Carl explains, represents the struggles we encounter after spiritual victories. “God’s love causes us to trust even when the journey feels dry and bitter,” he emphasizes, encouraging a faith that […]

In this message, Pastor Carl explores the transformative nature of God’s agape love as commanded in John 13:34-35: “love one another, just as I have loved you.” He contrasts this divine love with other forms of love in Scripture—storge (familial love), eros (romantic love), and philia (brotherly love)—emphasizing that agape is God’s selfless, unconditional love, distinct from these human forms of affection. Pastor Carl underscores the power of sharing faith, explaining that “when you share your faith, you participate in […]

In this sermon, Pastor Carl delves into the transformative power of love and serving within the church, emphasizing that true growth in Christ is realized through humility and action. By discussing themes of authentic discipleship and servant leadership, he illustrates that “the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant” (Luke 22:26).

Pastor Carl’s message focused on the theme of love and judgment, drawing from Matthew 7:1–5. He explained how Jesus’ command, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged” (Matt 7:1), is often misused to silence necessary biblical discernment. Instead, Jesus warns against a hypocritical and harsh attitude that condemns others while ignoring personal failings. This unrighteous judgment harms both individuals and the church by distorting relationships and weakening church discipline. Pastor Carl highlighted that God’s love is unconditional […]

In this message, Pastor Carl emphasizes the call to love radically, as instructed by Jesus in Matthew 5:43-48. Jesus challenges the common belief of loving only those who are friendly and instead commands, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matt 5:44). This radical love mirrors the Father’s nature, who “causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good” (Matt 5:45). Pastor Carl highlights that God’s love is not based on merit but is given […]
