This sermon centers on the life-changing message of the cross: while it may seem foolish to some, it is the very power of God for salvation. Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we see God’s love in action—offering rescue to the lost, reconciliation to those separated from Him, and restoration through faith. The cross reminds us that no one is beyond God’s grace and that salvation is available to all who believe. Ultimately, it calls each person to respond by trusting in Christ and embracing the new life He offers.

In the sermon,The Table Before the Cross, with Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington, we see that communion is an intentional invitation from Jesus to remember His sacrifice, not just sit in proximity to Him—because you can be at the table and still miss the Savior without a surrendered heart. Through the bread and the cup, Jesus reveals Himself as our substitute and the source of a new covenant, calling us to respond with honesty, surrender, and a life that boldly proclaims His death and resurrection.

In this message, Because of Your Generous Giving, we see how God uses the obedience and sacrifice of His people to fuel life change, build community, and advance the Gospel. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 8–9, this sermon reminds us that giving is not transactional but transformational—an act of worship marked by generosity, intentionality, spiritual alignment, joy, and trust in God’s provision. Because of your giving, lives are being impacted, needs are being met, and the mission of Jesus is moving forward.
