Make Room In this Christmas sermon, Make Room, we explore the birth of Jesus through the lens of why Christmas matters, not just what happened. Rooted in John 1:14, this message unpacks the meaning of the incarnation—how God became human, made His home among us, and brought heaven into our everyday lives. This message challenges a compartmentalized faith and invites us to make room for Jesus in every area of life. Discover how Jesus doesn’t wait to be pursued—He pursues us, why God with us (Emmanuel) changes our present reality, and how Jesus may not always feel safe, but He is always...

God With Us In this Christmas message, Filmore teaches on Emmanuel—God with us—and why the first Christmas was not sentimental, but a scandal. Discover why Jesus is fully God and fully human, how the virgin birth reveals God’s plan of salvation, and how the incarnation proves that God does not avoid our pain but enters it. Learn how the gospel moves us from a distant idea of God to a personal relationship with Him, and why God being with us changes everything—our fear, our suffering, and our obedience. Scripture References: Matthew 1:18–23 John 8:58 Colossians 1:15–16 John 8:41...

How’s Your Heart? In this Advent message, we ask an essential question often overlooked in the holiday rush: How’s your heart? While December fills with busyness—shopping, travel plans, and constant activity—Jesus invites us to slow down and make room for Him at the deepest level. Advent isn’t just about celebrating Christmas; it’s about preparing your heart for the arrival of Christ. Drawing from Jesus’ parable of the four soils in Mark 4, this sermon explores how the condition of your heart determines what God can grow in your life. Whether your heart feels hardened, shallow,...

A Church That Stands Out for the Right Reasons In this message, Filmore unpacks what it means to be a healthy, countercultural church in a world marked by division, noise, and spiritual forgetfulness. Drawing from Titus 1–3, he explores how Christian maturity is formed through a different posture, a different perspective, and a different power—all rooted in the gospel. Learn why Paul tells Titus to “remind the people” again and again, how believers are called to respond to government and culture, and why remembering who we were before Jesus is...

Church Health: Healthy People In this message, we continue our Church Health series by walking through Titus 2 and discovering what healthy Christians look like according to the Bible—not according to cultural trends. Just as society has rebranded the meaning of a “macchiato,” our culture has redefined concepts like manhood, womanhood, marriage, submission, truth, and identity. Paul’s teaching to Titus helps us recover the real thing again. Learn how sound doctrine leads to a healthy life, why what you believe always shapes...

I've Been Thinking (Week Three) We’ve all asked it: “Can I trust God with 'this'?” Not whether He’s real, but whether He’s involved. When life hurts longer than expected, when faith feels fragile, and when hope seems delayed, can we still trust Him with the specifics? In this message from our series “I’ve Been Thinking…”, Pastor Filmore reminds us that faith isn’t a side topic; it’s the whole thing. Through the story of a woman who reached for Jesus after twelve years of disappointment, we’re invited to guard what we hear, renew what we think, and activate what we...

I've Been Thinking (Week Two) We’ve all thought it: “I wish I was better.” Better at leading, speaking, creating, living. But what if our desire to “be better” is stemmed from intentions that require asking deeper questions? In this message from our series “I’ve Been Thinking…”, Pastor Filmore explores the quiet tension between growth and validation, reminding us that God isn’t after perfection or performance. He’s after obedience. When we trade comparison for calling, weakness becomes the very place His power shows up strongest. Scripture References 1 Peter 4:10 &...
