Judge Not

We all know the verse—ask and you’ll receive, seek and you’ll find—but what if we’ve been asking the same things over and over? In this message, we talk about what it really means to trust that God is a good Father who wants to respond to us. Sometimes he answers right away, sometimes not, and sometimes in ways we don’t see coming. You’ll be challenged to mix it up in prayer—start asking questions you haven’t asked before and see what God might say.

In this message, Jamin explores the deep intimacy God desires to have with us — an intimacy so profound that the Bible often reaches for the language of romance and marriage to describe it. Drawing from Scripture, we consider how God’s love is not distant or mechanical, but passionate, personal, and covenantal. This message invites us to rethink our relationship with God not as mere duty, but as deep and abiding love.

This Easter, we marvel at the mystery of the Incarnation and Resurrection—the moment when heaven and earth kissed in the person of Jesus Christ. From eternity past, the Angel of the Lord—God’s very presence in visible form—walked among humanity. But in the womb of Mary, this divine figure took on true flesh, not just as a temporary theophany, but as a full union of the spiritual and earthly body. And in the resurrection, Jesus emerges not merely as a spirit or a corpse reanimated, but as something new: a glorified, resurrected, heaven-earth body. He is the prototype of what we shall become—embodied glory, still bearing scars, yet radiant with eternal life. The Resurrection is not the escape from the body, but the redemption of it. And in Him, we see our future: resurrected, transformed, and united with God forever.

In Jackson as it is in Heaven is a vision and a declaration—that the kingdom of God isn’t just something we wait for, it’s something we carry. Just as Heaven broke out of Jesus, the heavenly man, and transformed everything around him, so it does through us. This isn’t just spiritual—it’s supernatural, sociological, physical, and deeply personal. When Heaven breaks out, neighborhoods change. Bodies are healed. Relationships are restored. Systems shift. Hope rises. In this message, we explore what it looks like when the reign of Jesus breaks into Jackson, MI—through ordinary people filled with extraordinary love and power. Heaven isn’t distant. It’s breaking out.

In Matthew 6, Jesus warns against being a hypocrite—a word that originally meant a "play-actor." Too often, our spiritual lives can become performances, shaped by the approval of others rather than a genuine relationship with God. Whether in prayer, giving, or fasting, Jesus calls us to pursue a faith that is real, not rehearsed. In this message, we’ll explore how to cultivate an authentic spirituality—one that seeks God's presence over public recognition and prioritizes true transformation over outward appearances.

In Jesus’ time, people made promises in ways that gave them loopholes to break their word. But Jesus spoke strongly against this, calling for honesty and integrity. In this message, Jamin unpacks Jesus’ teaching on oaths, showing how He invites us to be people of truth—because anything less reflects something far from God’s heart.

Jesus spoke strongly and briefly about divorce. In this message, Jamin contextualizes Jesus' words and deals with some other difficult issues that leads to divorce, like abuse.
