Why Does God Get Mad?
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Michael unpacks one of the most sobering sections of Romans, where Paul describes humanity’s suppression of the truth and the consequences of idolatry. We see how rejecting God’s rightful place leads to disordered desires, brokenness, and judgment. Yet, woven through this diagnosis is the incredible mercy of God. Who, in His wrath against sin, offers grace through the cross of Christ. This sermon challenges us to stop justifying sin, to see ourselves honestly, and to marvel at the gospel that saves.

You’re Saved… But For What?
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Finu, we explore Paul's powerful declaration that he is “not ashamed of the gospel” in the heart of the Roman Empire. Rome offered peace through domination, but Paul proclaims peace through the cross. More than religious advice, the gospel is a royal announcement that Jesus is Lord, and that changes everything. This sermon challenges us to move from passive belief to bold engagement. What if being loved by God also means being called into his mission? With stories of radical transformation and the reminder that salvation is grace from start to finish, this...

Paul Didn’t Write This to Be Liked
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this opening message from our new series Romans, Rikk Watts helps us launch into Paul’s most well-known and carefully crafted letter. Grounding us in history and scripture, we see how Paul’s message has shaped the world and still has the power to shape us. At the heart of it all is Jesus: not just a teacher or prophet, but the risen Lord himself. Through Paul’s radical encounter and calling, we’re invited to a gospel that calls for both trust and obedience, grounded in grace and centered on Jesus. This introduction to Romans 1:1–12 reframes what it means to belong to God, live in...

Stop Trying to Earn God
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Chris, we explore the real purpose of the Ten Commandments and how they’re meant to deepen, not burden, our relationship with God. The law doesn’t start with demands but with deliverance, God saves first, then invites obedience. When we treat the law as a ladder to earn God’s love, it crushes us. But when we see it as a guide flowing from God’s love, it transforms us. This sermon reframes obedience not as slavery, but as freedom. We’re reminded that nothing in this world can satisfy our infinite souls like intimacy with God. The Ten Commandments aren’t...

A God Who Fits Your Life Can’t Save It
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message, Pastor Justin takes us to Exodus 19, where Israel encounters the living God for the first time at Mount Sinai. This God is not safe, not small, and not shaped by human preferences. He is holy, untamable, and calls for full commitment. The sermon unpacks the real barrier to knowing God, why casual Christianity won’t cut it, and how the God who saves us first invites us into a life of obedience, consecration, and purpose.

A Future Bigger Than Us
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this inspiring conclusion to the Bigger Than Us series, Pastor Fanu unpacks the transformative power of a future rooted in God's eternal mission. Drawing from Hebrews 11:8-10, the sermon explores Abraham’s faith-filled journey as he stepped into the unknown, driven by a vision of a city designed and built by God. Pastor Fanu challenges Village Church to embrace a future that is bigger than individual ambitions, focusing on five key aspects: a future built on faith, focused on Jesus, worth the sacrifice, overcoming fear of the unknown, and already unfolding in the next generation. Sermon:...

A Legacy Bigger Than Us
Village Church Sermon Audio
Welcome to Village Church! In this powerful message from our "Bigger Than Us" series, Pastor Finu dives into the heart of leaving a legacy that echoes beyond our lifetime. Drawing from 1 Chronicles 29, we explore King David’s vision to build a temple for God—a project he would never see completed, yet one he invested in wholeheartedly for God’s glory. This week, we’re challenged to think about the eternal impact of our lives and how we can join God’s redemptive mission to bring the Gospel to all people.

A Mission Bigger Than Us
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Chris, we’re invited to step off the sidelines and into the mission of God. A mission that is global, urgent, and deeply personal. Drawing from Genesis, Matthew, and Romans, we see how God’s redemptive work has always been about reaching every nation, and how Village Church is playing a part both locally and around the world. From church plants in Cuba to hospital births in Uganda, the impact of faithfulness stretches far beyond what we can see. This is not just about buildings or budgets. It’s about participating in a movement that God began long before us,...

A God Who’s Bigger than Us
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Finu, we reflect on the greatness of a God who works beyond our understanding. Through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, we are reminded that God invites us to bring what we have, even when it feels small, so He can multiply it for His purposes. With awe at the scale of creation and stories of transformation unfolding in our own community, this message calls us to move from hesitation to participation, trusting in a power that exceeds our imagination. What if bold generosity begins not with abundance but with belief in a God who is able? Sermon: A God...

A Story That’s Bigger Than Us
Village Church Sermon Audio
In this message from Pastor Finu, we celebrate Village Church’s 15-year journey as part of a story far bigger than ourselves. Reflecting on God's faithfulness through the generations, we are reminded that our lives find their deepest meaning when they are woven into His eternal purposes. Just as God invited Abraham into a redemptive story that would bless all nations, He calls us to step into His unfolding work today. Through gratitude, trust, and sacrificial generosity, we are invited to write the next chapter of Village Church’s story for the glory of Christ and the good of generations...
