Breakfast with Jesus | John 21:1-19

Sometimes failure feels final. You work hard, do all the right things, and still end up with empty hands. That’s where Peter found himself—haunted by his denial of Jesus, unsure if he still belonged. But in John 21, Jesus shows up on the shore with a fire, breakfast, and a question that changes everything.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shows how Jesus meets us in our surrender, not our success. He restores what shame tries to erase, and He turns our worst moments into a new beginning. This isn’t just a story about Peter—it’s hope for anyone who wonders if they can still be used by God.

When the Wine Runs Out | John 2:1-12

We all hit moments when the joy dries up—when life feels more like obligation than celebration. Maybe it’s a quiet ache, a relationship gone cold, or the creeping sense that what once satisfied no longer does. In John 2, Jesus shows up at a wedding that’s running out of wine, and with it, joy, honor, and hope.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve reveals the beauty behind Jesus’ first miracle—not just as a display of power, but as a deeply personal act of grace. Jesus doesn’t just fix the problem—He transforms it. This sermon invites you to bring your emptiness, your tired expectations, and your worn-out hope to the One who turns water into wine. The best is yet to come.

The Father Who Invites Us to His Table | Matthew 22:1-14

We all long for belonging—for a place at the table where we’re wanted, welcomed, and known. But in a world of distractions, deadlines, and self-made religion, it’s easy to miss the most important invitation of all.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shares the parable of the wedding banquet—a story Jesus told not to entertain us, but to wake us up. This is a feast prepared by a Father who doesn’t want your perfection—He wants your presence. But it’s also a feast that demands a response.
 
If you’ve ever wondered if grace is really for you, or if you’ve settled into performance or pride, this is your invitation. Come, be clothed in Christ, and celebrate the joy of the King.

The Father who Listens | Luke 18:1-8

What do you do when it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? When silence stretches long and the waiting wears you down, it’s tempting to assume God isn’t listening. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that speaks directly to the ache of unanswered prayer.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve reminds us that prayer isn’t about nagging God into submission—it’s about holding onto His heart when life tempts us to let go. We serve a Father who listens, who cares, and who moves in His perfect time. This isn’t about prayer techniques—it’s about trust.
 
If you’re weary from waiting, this sermon is for you. Keep praying. Keep trusting. He’s worth it.

The Father Who Sees Our Heart | Luke 18:9-14

Most of us walk around with quiet pressure in our souls—the need to appear put-together, to be “good enough,” to prove we’re worthy of love. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that lovingly exposes this tendency.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve invites us to see ourselves clearly: not as people who need a little polishing, but as people who need mercy. The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector isn’t just about two men praying—it’s a mirror for every heart. Do we come to God with our resumé, or with our need?
 
This sermon is a call to drop the mask, stop striving, and come home to grace.

The Mercy We Forget | Matthew 18:21-35

When was the last time you forgave someone from your heart—not because they deserved it, but because you remembered the mercy God gave you? In this honest and powerful message, Pastor Steve leads us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and invites us to confront the subtle pride that clings to our own record while holding others hostage to theirs.
 
We all crave grace, but extending it can feel impossible—especially when wounds run deep. This sermon reminds us that the weight of our own forgiven debt reshapes how we treat those who’ve hurt us. If you’ve been hurt, hardened, or haunted by resentment, listen in. Mercy isn’t a theory—it’s a way of life for those who’ve been changed by the Gospel.

The Father Who Gives Freely

We’ve all been there—watching someone else get the thing we prayed for, waiting longer than we thought fair, or wondering if God sees us at all. In this parable from Matthew 20, Jesus speaks directly to the ache of comparison and the frustration of unmet expectations.
 
In this message, Stephen Bean reminds us that the kingdom of God doesn’t operate on fairness—it runs on grace. The Father isn’t stingy or slow; He’s outrageously generous. Whether you feel overlooked, exhausted, or tempted to compare, this sermon will help you rest in the beautiful truth: God’s generosity may surprise us, but it will never disappoint.

The Father Who Runs Toward The Wayward

What kind of Father runs—shamefully, joyfully—to embrace a rebellious child who’s squandered everything? In this sermon, Pastor Steve brings us into the heart of the Gospel as seen through the parable of the prodigal son.
 
Whether you’ve wandered far from God or stayed close but cold-hearted, this story isn’t just about one son—it’s about two. And more importantly, it’s about a Father who bears shame, breaks cultural expectations, and meets both the rebellious and the religious with tender, pursuing love.
 
Come discover the God who doesn’t demand you earn your way back, but who welcomes you with a robe, a ring, and a feast. This is grace that runs.

The Father Who Sees With Compassion and Mercy | Luke 10:25-37

We’ve all asked it—What must I do to be saved? But when Jesus answers, it isn’t with a list or a lecture. He tells a story. A story about a broken man, a dusty road, and a love that crosses every boundary.
 
In this sermon from Luke 10, Stephen Bean takes us deep into the heart of the parable of the Good Samaritan—not as a moral checklist, but as a gospel story. The wounded man isn’t someone else. It’s us. And the Good Samaritan? That’s Jesus.
 
Come discover a Father who doesn’t turn away from our brokenness but moves toward us with compassion and healing. This is more than kindness—it’s salvation.

The Father Who Pursues | Luke 15:1-7

It’s easy to write people off when they wander. We assume they’re too far gone, too broken, or simply not worth the effort. But Jesus tells a different story. In this tender and powerful message from Luke 15, Stephen Bean reminds us that the heart of the Father is not one of abandonment—but of pursuit.
 
God doesn’t sit back and wait for us to find our way home. He comes after us. He lifts us onto His shoulders. He celebrates our return. Whether you feel like the one who’s wandered or the one watching others go astray, this sermon is an invitation to rediscover the relentless love of the Good Shepherd who leaves the 99 to find the one.
