Give

About the Sermon

This week’s message wraps up our Heart for the House series with the topic most of us feel the tension around: giving. But not giving out of guilt or pressure—giving that flows from grace, trust, and ownership.

Raised to Life

This message unpacks:

Sin is slavery — It promises freedom but ultimately controls and destroys
Baptism is a transfer of ownership — You were buried with Christ and raised into a new life
Your new life is not your own — You were bought at a price
You are alive to God now — No longer defined by your old life
Real change happens through surrender — Giving every part of your life to God

Buried with Christ

In Part 1 of this two-week series, Pastor Ryan walks through Romans 6 and what it really means to be buried with Christ in baptism. This isn’t just a symbol or a moment—it’s a turning point. A line in the sand where the old life is left behind.

The Cost of Love

Love always costs something.

We say things like “I’ve got you” or “I’m all in”—but what happens when the cost actually comes due?

In this powerful message, Pastor Ryan walks through the story of Peter in John 18–21—a man full of confidence who boldly declared he would die for Jesus… and then denied Him three times in a moment of pressure.
