In this message from Psalm 24, Pastor Sean reminds us that the earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord—including our lives. We aren’t the rulers of our own kingdoms, God is. And through Jesus, the righteous King of Glory, we’re invited into God's presence and reign.

What do you do when life feels like it’s closing in? In Psalm 27, Pastor Sean Gasperetti shows us that the way to stand firm in the face of fear, rejection, or spiritual attack is to anchor our hearts in the presence, goodness, and timing of God. This is how we become uncancelable.

Even in our lowest moments, God hears, responds, and delivers.

In Jonah 1, we meet a prophet on the run—fleeing God’s call and finding himself in a storm of his own making.

Listen as Pastor Sean breaks down the initial moments of Jonah's documented story, inviting us to encounter God's mercy in our own lives as well.

God’s plan has always been to build His covenant community — His people, the Church — empowered by the Holy Spirit to carry the good news to the world.
