• Pastor Derek Berry "The Light of the World" - (5/31/2026) 01.06.2026 40นาที

  Jesus declares Himself as the light of the world, offering clarity in life's confusion and uncertainty. Just as physical darkness makes navigation difficult, spiritual darkness leaves us stumbling through important decisions. The light of Christ reveals that Jesus is God's promised and perfect Son who came to display divine power and defeat sin and death. However, knowing about Jesus isn't enough - we must actively follow Him through faith and repentance. Many people today want Christ without...
• Pastor Derek Berry "What are You Living For?" - (5/24/2026) 27.05.2026 41นาที

  Paul challenges us to examine what we're truly living for in a world obsessed with accumulating possessions and chasing success. Writing from prison, he declared that everything he once valued - education, status, achievements - became worthless compared to knowing Christ. The difference between the rich young ruler who walked away sad and Zacchaeus who joyfully gave away half his possessions shows how encountering Jesus transforms our priorities. Paul emphasizes we cannot move forward while ...
• Pastor Derek Berry "Don't Waste Your Life" - (5/17/2026) 18.05.2026 42นาที

  Life passes quickly, and Moses understood this when he wrote Psalm 90:12, asking God to teach us to number our days and gain wisdom. Moses witnessed an entire generation of Israelites waste their lives wandering in the wilderness because they chose fear over faith when God called them to enter the Promised Land. The psalm contrasts God's eternal nature with human frailty, describing life as grass that withers or a watch in the night. True wisdom comes from living intentionally for God's kingd...
• Pastor Derek Berry "A Life That Leaves a Legacy" - (5/10/2026) 11.05.2026 35นาที

  A godly legacy isn't just what we leave behind when we're gone, but what we live out and pass on every single day. Through the example of Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, we learn that genuine faith must be demonstrated, not just inherited. Real legacy is built through small, consistent steps - daily conversations, Scripture teaching, and private moments with God. Paul reminds Timothy to stir up the gifts within him, overcoming fear with the power, love, and sound mind that God p...
• Raised to a New Power | Raised to Life – Week 4 | Pastor Derek Berry 05.05.2026 34นาที

  In Week 4 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Power,” we’re reminded that many believers feel stuck—not because they lack power, but because they don’t realize the power they already have. Paul teaches that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in every believer. The struggle isn’t about gaining more power—it’s about growing in awareness of what God has already placed within you. He points us to three realities we must understand: the hope of God’s calling, your v...
• Raised to a New Direction | Raised to Life – Week 3 | Pastor Derek Berry 27.04.2026 39นาที

  In Week 3 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Direction,” we’re challenged with a hard truth—following Christ doesn’t automatically change your direction unless you intentionally leave the old one behind. Paul shows us in Colossians 3:5–11 that real transformation requires more than managing sin—it requires putting it to death. You can’t walk in a new direction while still holding onto old patterns. What you tolerate will eventually control where your life is headed. True change ha...
• Living in Freedom | Raised to Life – Week 2 | Pastor Derek Berry 21.04.2026 37นาที

  In Week 2 of our Raised to Life series, “Living in Freedom,” we’re reminded that many believers know they’re saved but still live like they’re stuck. Jesus has already opened the door to freedom, yet we often remain trapped in old patterns. True freedom begins with abiding in God’s Word—not just hearing it occasionally, but letting it shape your daily life. Sin may promise freedom, but it always leads to bondage, following a pattern from choice to habit to control. Through Christ, you are no ...
• Raised to a New Identity | Raised to Life (Week 1) | Logan Hice 13.04.2026 30นาที

  In Week 1 of our Raised to Life series, “Raised to a New Identity,” we see that Being raised with Christ means entering into a complete spiritual union that fundamentally transforms your identity. Many Christians struggle with old patterns because they don't understand this transformation or still define themselves by past failures rather than their new position in Christ. Your life is now hidden with Christ, meaning you're secure and defined by Him, not by your performance or past. Christ is...
• Pastor Derek Berry "You Can Be Close and Still Lost" - Easter Sunday (4/5/2026) 06.04.2026 37นาที

  Two men walked away from Jerusalem after Jesus' crucifixion, discouraged and confused despite hearing reports of His resurrection. When Jesus joined them on their journey to Emmaus, they didn't recognize Him. This story reveals a sobering truth: you can be physically close to Jesus yet spiritually distant. These men knew all the facts about Christ's life, death, and resurrection, but they missed the truth of what it meant. They were drifting away from God while still talking about Him. The tu...
• Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 5 (3/29/2026) 30.03.2026 40นาที

  "The Cross Changes My Forever" week 5 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything". The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most pivotal moment in human history, transforming our understanding of eternity. Without the resurrection, there would be no gospel, no forgiveness, and no hope beyond this life. Jesus' resurrection serves as the firstfruits, guaranteeing that all believers will also be raised from the dead. Every person exists in one of two positions: in Adam (spiritually dead) or in C...
• Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 4 (3/22/2026) 23.03.2026 43นาที

  "The Cross Changes My Future" Week 4 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything." In times of uncertainty and anxiety about the future, Jesus offers profound comfort through His words in John 14:1: "Let not your heart be troubled." While we cannot know what tomorrow holds, we can trust the One who holds tomorrow. The cross provides the only way to a secure eternal future through Jesus, who declared Himself as the way, the truth, and the life. Heaven is not just an idea but a prepared place t...
• Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 3 (3/15/2026) 16.03.2026 44นาที

  "The Cross Changes My Struggles" Week 3 of the series "The Cross Changes Everything." Many Christians feel trapped by recurring struggles despite knowing their sins are forgiven. The cross didn't just forgive us—it freed us from sin's control. Like a caged tiger that won't leave when the gate opens, we often live as if we're still trapped by old patterns. Romans 6 reveals that when we accepted Christ, our old self died and we rose as new creations. Sin no longer has rightful authority ov...
• Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything"- Sermon 2 (3/8/2026) 11.03.2026 38นาที

  "The Cross Changes My Past" - Sermon 2 of the series The Cross Changes Everything Many believers carry a spiritual backpack filled with guilt, shame, and regret from past mistakes. Psalm 103 reveals that God doesn't treat us according to our sins because Jesus took our punishment on the cross. God's mercy is immeasurable, extending as far as the heavens are above the earth. Most powerfully, our sins aren't just forgiven - they're completely removed, as far as the east is from the west. Paul e...
• Pastor Derek Berry "The Cross Changes Everything" - Sermon 1 (3/1/2026) 02.03.2026 40นาที

  "The Cross Changes My Identity" - Sermon 1 of the series The Cross Changes Everything The cross doesn't just forgive us—it completely transforms our identity. Many people live under labels from past mistakes, failures, or what others think of them, building their identity on performance and external validation. However, 2 Corinthians 5:17 reveals that in Christ, we become entirely new creations, not improved versions of our old selves. Our old identity died at the cross and was replaced with ...
• Ashton Earwood "Carried to Christ" - (2/22/2026) 24.02.2026 44นาที

  Life often brings us to places where we feel completely stuck and unable to fix ourselves. In Luke 5, a paralyzed man represents our spiritual condition - we cannot make ourselves righteous through willpower alone. His friends demonstrate true spiritual friendship by carrying him to Jesus when he couldn't reach Christ on his own. When Jesus addressed the man's sins before his paralysis, He revealed that our greatest need isn't circumstantial change but forgiveness. Jesus proved His authority ...
• Pastor Derek Berry "How to Respond When You're Overwhelmed" (2/15/2026) 16.02.2026 36นาที

  When David returned home to find his city burned and his family taken captive, he faced complete devastation. His own men turned against him, leaving him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually drained. But David made a crucial choice: he strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Instead of reacting emotionally, he sought God's direction through prayer. God told him to pursue his enemies, promising he would recover everything. David obeyed, taking one step of faith at a time, and God restored ...
• Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead" - Sermon 5 (2/8/2026) 10.02.2026 37นาที

  Life has a way of wearing down our hope through unanswered prayers, difficult circumstances, and endless waiting. But biblical hope isn't something we manufacture through positive thinking or willpower—it's something God fills us with as we trust Him. Hope grows when we remember that Christ has fully received us into His family, not just tolerated us. It strengthens when we recall God's faithfulness throughout history and His track record of keeping promises. True hope overflows when the Holy...
• Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 4 (2/1/2026) 02.02.2026 41นาที

  Life's greatest challenges aren't always dramatic crises but the long, exhausting seasons that test our endurance. The Christian life is a marathon, not a sprint, requiring us to pace ourselves spiritually. Hebrews 12:1-3 provides a roadmap for building endurance: lay aside every weight and sin that holds us back, run with steady perseverance in our unique race, and fix our eyes on Jesus. Weights aren't necessarily sinful but are heavy burdens like unforgiveness, comparison, and over-commitme...
• Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 3 (1/18/2026) 20.01.2026 46นาที

  This sermon focuses on developing strength to resist temptation through a three-step biblical process found in James 4:7-10. Pastor Derek emphasizes that victory over temptation begins with surrender to God rather than self-effort or willpower. The message outlines a clear pathway: first submit to God, then resist the devil, and finally draw near to God. The pastor explains that most believers fail because they try to resist temptation without first surrendering their hearts completely to God...
• Pastor Derek Berry "Strength for the year ahead"- Sermon 2 (1/11/2026) 13.01.2026 51นาที

  Spiritual transformation doesn't come from trying harder but from allowing God to renew our minds. Like changing clothes, we must put off old sinful habits and put on new God-honoring practices. Real change begins with honest self-examination and daily time in Scripture, where God's Word replaces lies with truth. The process involves both removing what doesn't belong and intentionally replacing it with righteousness. Through the renewal of our minds, God gives us the strength to experience ge...
