Good Friday 2025 – A Love That Endures

In this special Good Friday reflection, we sit with the weight of the crucifixion.
Dr. Paul Sloan helps us see the cross through the eyes of Jesus and His disciples. It wasn’t just a sad ending—it was an act of deep, deliberate love. Jesus gave Himself willingly to rescue us from sin and captivity. The cross is not what makes God love us—it’s the proof that He already does.
Scriptures: Romans 5, John 10, John 15

Job & Mark 10 | Entrusting Ourselves to a Just God | October 20, 2024

In this sermon, Dr. Paul Sloan explores the profound tension between human suffering and divine justice through the lens of Job and the teachings of Jesus in Mark 10.
Rather than offering simplistic answers, he invites us to entrust ourselves to God's character and promises.
Suffering is not minimized but placed in the context of God's ultimate plan to bring justice and restoration.
Just as Jesus endured unjust suffering with full trust in the Father, we too are called to wait on God's justice, knowing it will come.

Luke 4:1-13 | Jesus’ Temptation and the Path to True Authority | March 09, 2025

In this episode, we explore Luke 4:1-13, where Jesus is tempted in the wilderness. Satan offers him power, provision, and protection—but at a cost. Instead of taking the easy way out, Jesus remains obedient to the Father, resisting temptation through faith and Scripture. His choice ultimately leads to his true authority over heaven and earth, proving that God’s plan is always greater than worldly shortcuts.
We’ll also unpack how this moment connects to spiritual warfare, Old Testament prophecy, and what it means for us today. How do we respond when faced with temptation? Can we trust God even when the path is difficult?
Tune in to discover how Jesus’ victory in the wilderness shapes our own battles and faith journey.
