• “Somebody’s Watching Me, It’s My Anxiety”
    Jul 6 2025

    Anxiety abounds, watching your moves, whispering worst-case scenarios, trying to convince you that you’re not enough.

    Did you know that Jesus isn't scolding you for feeling anxious?

    Instead, Jesus reminds you: Even the ravens are fed. Even the lilies are clothed. Aren’t you worth more than these?

    This sermon launched our summer series, Answer Me This: Jesus’ Questions Still Matter. Come with your ache, your hope, your questions—Jesus is still asking.

    📅 Join us next Sunday to begin the questions for real.

  • "Prey No More"
    Jun 29 2025

    We came. We slayed. We praised. 🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤🤎💛🤍💜💗💜💙

    This Pride Sunday, we said:

    💥 No to shame
    🧱 Yes to building each other up
    🙅🏽‍♀️ No to church as a weapon
    🔥 Yes to prayer as protection
    💖 No to being prey
    🌟 Yes to being precious

    If you missed today’s powerful Pride worship, don’t worry. You can still experience it online. The sermon, Prey No More, is a word for anyone who’s ever been told they didn’t belong, and a reminder that God’s house has room and honor for you.

    You are not the problem.
    You are part of the promise.

    Come see what God is building. 💒💖

  • Ruthless Systems, Righteous Women
    Jun 23 2025

    This sermon is for every woman who’s been told to wait for a man to claim her. For every person watching their rights unravel while someone shouts “God said so.”

    We’re not going back to Ruth’s rules.

    We’re moving forward with Ruth’s courage.

    Ruth wasn’t just a survivor—she was an ancestor to liberation.

  • "Pentecost: Who All Gonna Be There?"
    Jun 8 2025

    “At Pentecost, Spirit didn’t show up with a manual or a manifesto. Spirit came as wind. As breath. As presence.”

    The Holy Spirit doesn’t wait for perfection. She shows up where there’s confusion, hunger, and hope — not to destroy, but to dislodge what no longer serves.

    She doesn’t gatekeep.
    She guides.
    She doesn’t silence.
    She speaks.

    ✨ So catch your breath.
    Just breathe. Let that be enough.
    And let the dream begin.

    Faith isn’t just about staying put. It’s about rising.
    Again and again and again.

    Watch Knock It Off now.

  • "Joy in the Key of Grace"
    May 18 2025

    “Joy in the Key of Grace” is a way of life. This week, we remembered that real joy isn’t passive. It’s practiced. Protected. It sings when there are no words. And it refuses to let fire burn.

    See Pastor Kaji ‘s message and carry this joy with you.
