CURRENT SERMON SERIES:

The gods We Trust

Many assume the Bay Area is becoming less religious, but the truth is we have not stopped worshipping; we have simply changed what we worship. In a culture shaped by innovation, prosperity, comfort, and the pursuit of happiness, we often look to technology, success, and self-determination to give us meaning, identity, and security. These things promise freedom and fulfillment, but when they take God’s place in our hearts, they become counterfeit gods that cannot ultimately satisfy us. The Bible teaches that every human heart is wired for worship, and whatever we trust most will shape the way we live. In this series, we will expose the idols of our culture and see how the living God confronts them through Jesus Christ, offering a deeper freedom, a truer identity, and a hope that no achievement or prosperity could ever provide.

In light of current events surrounding George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement, Pastor Ryan Kwon was invited into the home of Pastor Léonce Crump from Renovation Church in Atlanta, GA to discuss the events that have led up to this season of protests and unrest, and what are some steps that the Church can take towards racial reconciliation.

 

This sermon, based on Ephesians 1, argues that God's immense power is active in believers, not only saving them but also transforming and perfecting them through the indwelling Holy Spirit. The message highlights that this power is not earned by human effort but is a gift of grace that guarantees a believer's future redemption and is ultimately demonstrated through Christ's sacrificial love on the cross.

This sermon explains that God's wrath is a deserved, controlled, and ultimately absorbed response to humanity's rebellion and desire for self-rule. It uses the arrest of Jesus in Gethsemane as a picture of our collective enmity toward God, demonstrating that all people, regardless of background, stand in opposition to Him.

This sermon, based on Psalm 8, reveals three aspects of God's majesty: His power shown in creation, His mindfulness in caring for insignificant humanity, and most importantly, His humility revealed in Jesus Christ. The message argues that Jesus, the Creator, willingly became human and suffered a temporary humiliation "a little lower than the angels" to die on our behalf, ultimately restoring humanity's purpose and providing the greatest reason for our worship.

This sermon explains that Christians can endure hardship by understanding that God, as a perfect parent, uses discipline to train and nurture His children. It emphasizes that this divine discipline is a sign of His love, which, though painful in the moment, ultimately produces a peaceful fruit of righteousness and allows believers to share in God's holiness.

This sermon emphasizies that a secure identity is found not in worldly achievements but in a relationship with Jesus, who transforms our past and secures our future. The message encourages the congregation to find their purpose by remaining faithful to God's calling and continuing His mission of spreading the gospel.

This sermon distinguishes God's holy jealousy from human envy, explaining that it stems from His profound love and desire for an exclusive relationship with His people. It argues that God's jealousy is rightly provoked by idolatry, which is anything that takes priority over Him, and that His ultimate goal is to bring about our sanctification through a relationship of priority and fidelity.

This sermon draws parallels between the Apostle Paul's relationship with the Thessalonians and the challenges of maintaining connection during the pandemic. The message encourages Christians to maintain fellowship and express love from afar through two key practices: mutual prayer for one another's spiritual growth and intentional verbal care to express affection and gratitude.

 

This sermon examines three of Jesus's final statements from the cross in the Gospel of John, interpreting "I thirst" as His spiritual desolation and fulfillment of scripture. It presents "It is finished" as a declaration of victory, signifying the complete work of salvation that frees believers from self-reliance, and "Behold" highlights His care for His mother as a redefinition of relationships, creating a new spiritual family that transcends all earthly divisions.

This sermon uses the prophet Habakkuk as a model for wrestling with God about suffering and injustice, encouraging believers to bring their honest doubts and fears to God without abandoning their faith. The message highlights that God is actively at work in ways beyond human comprehension, and we must trust in His ultimate plan rather than judging Him by our limited perspective.
