Called to Serve

About the Sermon

When the early church started to grow, they faced real challenges—people were being overlooked, needs were going unmet. Instead of ignoring it, they organized for impact. In Acts 6, we see the church empower everyday believers to serve and lead, and the result was explosive growth. God’s design has always been for every believer to play a part. Serving isn’t something we have to do—it’s something we get to do. Every act of service, every hidden moment of faithfulness, builds the body and strengthens the mission.

The King is Here

In this message, NextGen Pastor Ben Lakin explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ triumphal entry and what it reveals about the kind of King He truly is—bold in identity yet humble in approach, determined to go to the cross for the people He loves. The story confronts a personal question for every one of us: Who is sitting on the throne of your life?

The Waiting Room

Life is full of waiting rooms.
In this message, we walk through one of the most powerful stories in the Gospel of John and discover a truth we desperately need in our own waiting seasons: God is always right on time. His timing may not be our timing, and the right time is not always right now, but His silence does not mean His absence. Even in grief, disappointment, and unanswered prayer, Jesus is still working.
