Have you ever kept serving God long after you stopped enjoying him? In Revelation 2, Jesus writes to the church in Ephesus, a church with an incredible resume. They worked hard, endured hardship, tested false apostles, and refused to tolerate evil. But Jesus holds one thing against them: they have forsaken the love they had at first. Not forgotten, forsaken. This message names three signs your love may be cooling: people feel like interruptions, you serve God but no longer enjoy him, and time with him has become a duty instead of a delight. Jesus doesn't just diagnose; he gives the cure. Remember, repent, and return. Not more work, but first works, aimed back at the Person they were always for.
The King is Coming - Week 6
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.
Kingdom Priorities - Week 7
Is it possible to think we’re honoring God while actually resisting him? In Matthew 23:29–39, Jesus delivers a sobering warning to religious leaders who believed they were faithful—but were blind to their own hypocrisy. His lament over Jerusalem reveals both the danger of spiritual pride and the depth of his compassion. In this message, Tom Vang helps us examine our own hearts. Where might we be defending traditions, protecting comfort, or resisting correction instead of surrendering to Christ? This sermon invites us to move beyond outward religion and respond to Jesus with humility, repentance, and a willingness to be gathered under his grace.
