Many people spend life trying not to fail rather than faithfully pursuing what God has called them to do. In Matthew 25:14–30, Jesus tells the Parable of the Talents to reveal how our view of God shapes the way we live, serve, and steward what we've been given. Are we living by fear, comparison, or misplaced assumptions about God's character? Or are we trusting him enough to invest our gifts, opportunities, and resources for his kingdom? In this message, Jonathan Haage explores how faithful stewardship flows from knowing the goodness of God and challenges us to stop hiding our potential and start living with intentional purpose as we await the return of the King.

What does it mean to be ready for Jesus’ return—not someday, but now? In Matthew 25:1–13, Jesus tells the parable of the ten bridesmaids to warn us against assuming there will always be more time. Pastor Tom Vang helps us see that readiness is not panic, performance, or religious activity. It is a life of daily trust in Jesus, endurance in ordinary faithfulness, and treasuring the King above his gifts. The world often imagines the apocalypse as hopeless, but Jesus gives us a better story: the King returns, evil loses, and the best days are ahead for those who know him and are known by him.

What are you living for? More importantly, what story is your life telling? In Matthew 24:45–51, Jesus contrasts two servants whose lives reveal two very different futures. One lives faithfully in service to his master, while the other lives as though the master will never return. Through this powerful teaching, Campus Pastor Jonathan Haage explores how our daily choices reveal what we truly believe about God, purpose, work, and eternity. This message challenges us to serve the right Master, embrace the work God has given us, and live with vigilance as we await Christ's return. Discover how the gospel transforms both the story you're living now and the story you'll live forever.
The King is Coming - Week 4
We prepare for storms, deadlines, and major life events—but are we spiritually prepared for the return of Christ? In Matthew 24:36–44, Jesus teaches that while we may see signs of his coming, no one knows the exact day or hour. That tension between signs and suddenness is not meant to produce fear or speculation but faithful readiness. This message explores what spiritual readiness really looks like—not panic or prediction, but a life shaped by God’s wisdom, faithful stewardship, and Christlike compassion. Whether you’re exploring faith or have followed Jesus for years, this sermon invites you to stop drifting and start living awake to what God is doing in the world and in your own life.
The King is Coming - Week 3
What do we do when life feels like it’s coming apart? In Matthew 24:29–35, Jesus uses vivid Old Testament imagery and a simple fig tree to help his disciples understand seasons of upheaval, judgment, hope, and renewal. Scot Johnson shows how this passage points us away from obsession, fear, or apathy and toward spiritual readiness. Jesus is the Son of Man, the reigning King whose words will never pass away. When the world feels unstable—or when our own lives feel shaken—we can bear good fruit by bowing to King Jesus, paying attention to our spiritual season, anchoring in Scripture, and joining God’s mission in the world.
The King is Coming - Week 2
Times of great upheaval can shake us more deeply than we expect. A crisis in the world, a sudden loss, a threat to our security, or even uncertainty about the future can expose what our hearts are really clinging to. In Matthew 24:15–28, Jesus prepares his followers for a coming catastrophe and teaches them how to remain faithful when everything feels unstable. This message explores how to respond wisely: knowing when to run, loosening our grip on our stuff, remembering that God’s purposes will not fail, and growing in discernment. Jesus is not giving us a puzzle to solve. He is giving us a way to live faithfully when upheaval comes.
The King is Coming - Week 1
What do we do when the world feels unstable and the future feels hard to read? In Matthew 24:1–14, Jesus speaks to his disciples about the destruction of the temple, coming trials, false messiahs, wars, persecution, and the endurance of his people. But his message is not panic. It is faithful vigilance. This sermon helps us examine where our hope really rests, resist voices that leverage fear, and remember that Jesus is not destroying our hope—he is reorienting it. Because the King is coming, Christians can be honest about suffering and still live with steady confidence, enduring faith, and hope that will not be thrown down.
