Faithful Flourising

As a new year begins, many of us reflect on resolutions, intentions, born from our desire to truly flourish. Yet all too often, those hopes fade as the months go by. Join Pastor Keeyon, as he kicks off the faithful flourishing sermon series, exploring what it means to flourish. Together, we will define flourishing, name the internal and external barriers that hold us back, and discover practical ways to cultivate lasting, life-giving growth.

This Christmas Eve sermon reflects on the mystery of the Incarnation—God-with-us—who enters not perfection, but the real and complicated conditions of human life. Exploring the “scandal of particularity,” we are invited to notice how God meets us right where we are; with love.

In this final week of Advent, we reflect on love as the foundation of generous living. Advent means “coming” or “arrival,” a season that invites us into waiting, trust, and preparation as we remember the long hope for the Messiah fulfilled in the birth of Jesus. Centered in Matthew 1:18–25, we witness Joseph’s quiet obedience, courage, and compassion. His love becomes an embodied act of generosity that makes room for God’s presence with us. As we wait together this season, we are invited to practice generous living marked by curiosity, gratitude, and openness to the movement of the Spirit. May this reflection guide us to receive Emmanuel, God with us, and to let love shape how we live and give.

What if today we hear John’s call—Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near—not as a threat of impending condemnation, but as an invitation? Listen in as we consider that repentance is not primarily about fear, but about embracing a way of being that reflects what Jesus is about.

In Week 1 of Advent, we reflect on the theme of Hope and the invitation to ground our generosity in God’s own generous heart. For generations, God’s people waited for the promised Messiah, and in Jesus’ arrival we see the fullness of God’s faithfulness, abundance, and love.Advent means “coming” or “arrival,” and during this season we take on a posture of waiting, preparing, and paying attention. This year, we’re exploring the spiritual practice of Living Generously, a way of life that cultivates curiosity, gratitude, and openness to the movement of God’s Spirit.Join us as we begin the Advent journey by considering how hope shapes generosity, and how generous living helps us embody the good news of Jesus in tangible ways.

On today’s episode, we explore Isaiah’s vision of God’s “Peaceable Kingdom”, a world renewed, restored, and made whole by God’s peace. Join us as we imagine the future God invites us to hope for and embody today.

Join us as Pastor Keeyon shares a powerful message from Luke 19:1–10 (CEB), the story of Zacchaeus, a man who climbed a tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus, only to find himself seen, known, and called by name. This episode invites us to reflect on what it means to be truly noticed by God and challenged to welcome His presence into every part of our lives.

On today’s episode, Pastor Keeyon’s message highlights Luke 18:1-8, CEB. Jesus was telling them a parable about their need to pray continuously and not to be discouraged. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected people. 3 In that city there was a widow who kept coming to him, asking, ‘Give me justice in this case against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused but finally said to himself, I don’t fear God or respect people, 5 but I will give this widow justice because she keeps bothering me. Otherwise, there will be no end to her coming here and embarrassing me.” 6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 Won’t God provide justice to his chosen people who cry out to him day and night? Will he be slow to help them? 8 I tell you, he will give them justice quickly. But when the Human One comes, will he find faithfulness on earth?”
