Work Harder
09/03/2025 Duration: 40minMarch 9, 2025 | "Work Harder” | Rev. Roberto Chaple In Acts 16, Paul and his companions experience something unexpected—God tells them no. Twice, they try to enter different regions to preach the Gospel, but the Holy Spirit stops them. It’s only on the third attempt that Paul receives a vision, calling him to Macedonia. Why? Because God's mission isn't just about working harder—it's about working smarter by following His vision. This sermon challenges us to examine our own plans vs. God’s vision. Have we been pushing forward in places where God has closed doors? Are we investing in fruitless ministries instead of multiplication-focused discipleship? Just as God led Paul to Macedonia to find Lydia, the jailer, and others who became key multipliers, He calls us to invest in people and places where His work will bear the most fruit. The question is: Are we listening?

Celebrating Healing: Restoring Relationships | Pastor Roberto Chaple
17/02/2025 Duration: 37minThis week, Pastor Roberto concludes the Celebrating Healing series by focusing on the restoration of relationships, using Peter’s reconciliation with Jesus from John 21:15-19. Pastor Roberto highlights that relationships, though complex, are central to God’s work of healing. He explores how Peter’s expectations of Jesus caused his failure and how Jesus responded with sacrificial love to restore him. The sermon emphasizes that true healing in relationships requires taking initiative, offering sacrificial love, and committing to reconciliation. The message concludes with seven keys for restoring relationships: Take the initiative: Be the one to reach out. Take the high road: Reconciliation requires humility. Take time: Trust takes time to rebuild. Take out the trash: Let go of anger and resentment. Take a listen: Listen attentively before speaking. Take it seriously: Don’t settle for less than a fresh start. Take it home: Apply these principles to your relationships today. February 16, 2025 | "Celebrating Heali

Celebrating Healing From Addiction | Pastor Vicki Harrison and Will New
09/02/2025 Duration: 32minIn the second week of the God's Healing series, Pastor Vicki Harrison introduces the topic of addiction, sharing key statistics and a biblical perspective on its impact.

The sermon transitions to a powerful personal testimony from Will New, who shares his journey from addiction to sobriety. Will recounts his struggles with alcohol, how it affected his family, and the pivotal moment when he realized the need for change. He emphasizes that true healing began when he allowed God's light into his life, supported by his family, friends, and church community.
