Jesus – The Greatest Gift
Dec 14, 2025

Gift of Light

What if the greatest gift of Christmas isn’t under your tree, but hidden in plain sight — in the places you’d least expect? This week we unpack the “Gift of Light” in John 3, where Jesus meets Nicodemus, a religious leader searching for truth in the dark. The contrast is clear: some saw signs and believed, but Jesus knew their faith was shallow. Nicodemus comes with questions, and Jesus gives him the kind of answer that still echoes today — “You must be born again.” From a bronze serpent lifted in the wilderness to the Son of Man lifte...

Jesus – The Greatest Gift – Gift of Life
Dec 07, 2025

Gift of Life

What kind of gift gets passed from one person to another, and what kind of gift is picked just for you? This week at Navigation Church, Pastor David explores The Gift of Life by comparing Adam’s White Elephant legacy of sin and death with Jesus’ intentional, personal gift of grace and righteousness. Preaching from Romans 5 and Matthew 16, we see how every Old Testament covenant pointed toward a better promise—and how Jesus, standing at the gates of Hades, declared that the realm of death couldn’t hold its ground against His advancing Kingdom. If you’v...

Baptism Sunday – I Am Allowed to be Great
Nov 30, 2025

I Am Allowed to be Great

Jesus once said that among those born of women, no one was greater than John the Baptist. But what made him so great? It wasn’t status, his success, his boldness, his baptizing, or his camel-hair fashion—it was that he faithfully pointed others to Jesus. In this sermon, we explore Luke 7 and what it truly means to live a life that directs people to Christ. Is it possible that there’s a deeper level of purpose and power available in your walk with God? Tune in and discover how greatness is defined in...

More Than Words – Growth is Messy
Oct 26, 2025

Growth is Messy

Have you ever noticed how real growth is rarely clean—and how the messiest moments are often where the most transformation happens? What if spiritual maturity looked less like polished perfection and more like kneeling in the dirt with someone in pain? This week, we’re reminded that Jesus didn’t shy away from brokenness; He stepped into it. And when we do the same—when we give freely, show mercy, and love people where they are—we don’t just reflect His heart; we help others grow into theirs.

More Than Words – We Give Freely
Oct 19, 2025

We Give Freely

Have you ever let anger, pride, or offense write a chapter of your story you wish you could erase? In 1 Samuel 25, we meet three people who respond to conflict in three very different ways: Nabal, who hoards; David, who reacts; and Abigail, who gives. Their story asks us a simple but powerful question—when this season of your life is retold, what kind of story will it be? This week, Pastor David unpacks how generosity isn’t just about what we give—it’s about the kind of person we become. Because generosity doesn’t just cha...

More Than Words – We Risk Relationally

We Risk Relationally

Have you ever felt like your story disqualifies you from God’s purpose? Or wondered if God still uses ordinary, overlooked people to do extraordinary things?  In this week’s message from Joshua 2, we meet an unlikely hero: a Canaanite prostitute named Rahab. While the rest of the city builds walls of fear, Rahab opens a window of faith—and everything changes. At the same time, two unnamed spies risk their lives, not for conquest, but for connection. They don’t blend in; they bring breakthrough. They don’t judge Rahab’s past; they respond to th...

We Celebrate Loudly

Ever feel stuck on the edge of something better but unable to step in? In Acts 3, a man carried daily to the gate called Beautiful discovers that God’s timing can change everything. This message shows how access, restoration, and new life are unlocked when ordinary people stop, see, and share what they have in Jesus’ name.

Will of God – The Will That Changes the World
Sep 28, 2025

The Will That Changes the World

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for the church to get divided — by opinions, by offenses, even by algorithms? Yet Jesus prayed in John 17 that we would be one so the world would believe. In this week’s message, The Will That Changes the World, we explore God’s Missional Will — a will that doesn’t stop with us but flows through us to others. We’ll look at the Great Co-Mission, the story of Paul and Barnabas, and what it really means to live as Kingdom citizens. Along the way, we’...

The Will You Are Trying to Find

Have you ever been paralyzed by the fear of “missing God’s will”? What if I choose the wrong job? The wrong school? The wrong person? Many of us don’t struggle with wanting God’s will—we struggle with knowing it, waiting for it, or worrying we’ll ruin it. This week we’re talking about God’s personal will—not a secret blueprint you have to crack, but a daily walk of wisdom, prayer, and trust. Through Peter’s story of failure and restoration, we’ll see that mistakes don’t cancel Go...

The Will You Can’t Stop

If God is sovereign—if nothing can stop His will—then why do bad things happen? Does that mean He approves of evil? Or that one wrong turn on our part could derail His entire plan? This week we’re unpacking the sovereign and permissive will of God. From the story of Israel to the coming of Christ, God’s plan has never been off course. His sovereignty doesn’t mean He causes every evil, but it does mean He weaves even the painful and broken pieces into His redemptive story. The question...

The Will God Already Told You Have you ever been afraid you might miss God’s will for your life? What if you marry the wrong person, take the wrong job, or make one wrong decision—and it derails everything? The truth is, God’s will isn’t meant to paralyze us with fear—it’s meant to guide us with clarity. In this week’s message, we’ll talk about the Moral Will of God—the will He’s already revealed in His Word. From relationships to forgiveness, integrity to generosity, God has given us clear instructions about the kind of people we’re...

Family Month – Forgiveness is a Dish Best Served Quickly
Aug 31, 2025

Forgiveness is a Dish Best Served Quickly Is there ever a time when someone shouldn’t be forgiven? According to a national survey, 58% of Americans think so. But Jesus didn’t teach forgiveness as an option—He made it a requirement. In this week’s message, we explore why forgiveness is so difficult, how families subtly hold on to hurt, and why releasing offense is one of the most powerful things we can do. With insights from Genesis and Ephesians, we look at Joseph’s story and Jesus’ own words to discover that forgiveness isn’t about ignoring the pain—it’s about choos...

Family Month – It is to Stretch You, Not Stress You
Aug 24, 2025

It is to Stretch You, Not Stress You In today’s message, we face the rising tide of stress in our world—43% of adults say they’re more anxious than last year, and 83% of workers feel overwhelmed. But the Bible offers a surprising command in the middle of it all: “Never worry about anything.” That’s not a suggestion—it’s a strategy. Using Philippians 4:4–9, we walk through five biblical habits that lead to lasting peace—starting with the boldest one: refuse to worry. You’ll discover why worry is unreasonable, unnatural, unhelpful, and unnecessary—and how to exchange it for peace, prayer, and p...

Family Month – Sticks and Stones
Aug 17, 2025

Sticks and Stones We’ve all heard it: “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” It’s catchy—but dangerously untrue. In this episode, we explore the real power of words through Scripture, psychology, and lived experience. From Proverbs to neuroscience, we discover how our speech shapes identities, builds or breaks relationships, and leaves lasting impact—especially in our families. You’ll learn why what you say isn’t just communication; it’s cultivation. And most importantly, we’ll walk through three life-giving habits: how to speak with care, guard your heart, and seek healing when words w...

Family Month – Individual Pieces, One Puzzle
Aug 10, 2025

Individual Pieces, One Puzzle Not every kid learns the same, expresses themselves the same, or even receives love the same—and yet, we often try to parent or disciple like there's a one-size-fits-all approach. In this week’s message, we explore how God uniquely wires each of us, drawing from Psalm 139, the story of Mary and Martha, and even psychology like Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences. The goal? To help families see that while personalities differ, our purpose in Christ is the same. Real connection doesn’t come from forcing people into molds—it comes from recognizing the shape God already gave them...

Practice Makes Permanent What if your family’s strongest values aren’t the ones you say—but the ones you show? In this message, we explore the truth that practice doesn’t make perfect—it makes permanent. Backed by neuroscience, habit research, and the story of Paul and Silas in Acts 16, we look at how your everyday actions—especially the repeated ones—shape your family’s identity and faith. From how you pray in crisis to how you handle conflict, your habits reveal what matters most. And here’s the challenge: what are your kids picking up from your life that you never meant...

Let Go & Take Hold What if the thing holding you back isn’t just your past—but your comfort with a present counterfeit? In this message, Pastor Aaron unpacks the story of the lame beggar in Acts 3 and challenges us to see ourselves as the one in need of healing. From brokenness to breakthrough, this week’s message explores what it means to move beyond the outskirts of purpose, pivot your perspective, and take hold of the real thing Jesus offers—Himself.  Whether you’ve settled for less, gotten stuck in shame, or simply need a fresh start, this is your invitat...

Jul 20, 2025

What are You Doing? Life isn't just about actions, but purpose. God has a unique plan for each of us that goes beyond daily tasks. Your "what" - the visible actions of your life - matters less than your "why" - the divine motivation behind those actions.  Consider Joseph, who could have abandoned Mary, or Martha, who missed Jesus' true message while serving. God invites us to look deeper, to understand that our experiences aren't random, but strategic steps in His larger story.  Are you living your daily life aligned with God's purpose?

Drawing from Paul’s final words to Timothy, she challenges us to live like the heroes of faith—those who laid hold of eternal realities and brought them into earthly timelines.  We’re reminded that we are not just called to endure life—we are called to transform it.

Through student testimonies and personal reflection, you'll be challenged to see your story as a living witness to God’s faithfulness—and an invitation for others to know Him too.  Revelation 12:11  Discussion topics 1.

More Than Conquerors Have you ever experienced gaps in your life between the reality you’re living VERSUS the promises you see in the Bible? Romans 8 is loaded with great promises such as, “If Christ is for us, who can be against us?” and “We are more than conquerors…” and yet, our reality doesn’t seem to match up with that identity?

In the Waiting Have you ever found yourself in a waiting room—physically or spiritually? At first, you lean in with hope. Then comes frustration, comparison, and passivity. The prophet Habakkuk knew that tension. His raw cry—“How long, Lord, must I call for help?”—echoes in every season of delay. In this message, we unpack how God doesn’t silence our questions—He meets us in them. Habakkuk reminds us: real transformation starts when we stop performing and start trusting.  Whether you’re leaning forward or slumped in silence, this message calls you to wait well—with faith, conviction, and hope.  Habakkuk...

Trust Issues – Do They Have What It Takes
Jun 01, 2025

Do They Have What It Takes In week three of Trust Issues, we explored the foundational role of integrity in rebuilding trust. Through the story of Saul, Jonathan, and David in 1 Samuel, we contrasted Saul’s fractured, emotionally unstable leadership with Jonathan’s consistent and undivided loyalty to both David and God. Integrity isn’t perfection—it’s wholeness. The word itself comes from the Latin integer, meaning complete or undivided. While Saul was reactive and compartmentalized, Jonathan embodied the kind of integrated life God desires—where beliefs and behaviors align. Proverbs 10:9 reminds us, “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” We also examined...

Can They Do It? What if your trust issues aren’t about betrayal—but about disappointment? Sometimes the people we depend on just aren't capable of carrying the weight of trust. This week, we look at two very different kinds of people: one who breaks trust through insecurity and chaos, and another who builds it with loyalty, maturity, and humility. One had the position—but not the tools. The other had no crown—but had character. We’re not just asking, “Can they be forgiven?” We’re asking, “Can they be trusted again?” Because trust isn’t just about intent—it’s about capacity.  1...

Letting Go of our Hang-Ups What if what’s holding you back isn’t around you—but within you? In this message, we look at the internal hangups—old wounds, labels, and coping habits—that can keep us from fully stepping into God’s plan. Through Saul’s story in 1 Samuel 9–10, we see how insecurity and self-doubt can overshadow calling. From chasing donkeys to hiding in baggage, Saul’s journey is a mirror for our own.  What if God has already called and equipped you—but you’re still stuck behind old expectations?

Betrayal, grief, disappointment, shame—these don’t fade with time. But the cross and the empty tomb tell a better story. Jesus showed us the way: He acknowledged the hurt, let go of the right to retaliate, prayed for His enemies, made room for reconciliation, and trusted God with the outcome. If He carried our wounds to the cross and walked out of the grave—scars and all—maybe your pain...

This week, we’re talking about how the enemy doesn’t create—he counterfeits. And one of his most convincing counterfeits is false community. From gangs to social media echo chambers, the enemy offers connection without depth, loyalty without truth, and belonging without transformation.

Healing Have you ever felt stuck in your pain, wondering if healing is even possible? In this sermon, we explore how Jesus repeatedly asked people, "Do you want to be healed?"—not because He didn't know the answer, but because healing requires a response. From the man at the Pool of Bethesda to Blind Bartimaeus, Jesus never assumed someone wanted freedom—He called them to step into it.

No "I" in TEAM In Exodus 17, we see two powerful moments that reveal how God’s provision and victory are often tied to the people He places around us. First, at Rephidim, Israel complains about their thirst, testing God rather than trusting Him. Moses, overwhelmed by their grumbling, turns to God—who provides water from the rock at Horeb, a foreshadowing of Christ, our ultimate source of life. But right after this provision, a new challenge arises—the Amalekites attack, targeting the weak and weary at the back of Israel’s camp. This battle wasn’t won by one man’s strength b...

In Exodus 16, the Israelites had seen God’s miracles, yet they still complained, longing for the “comforts” of Egypt—even though it meant slavery. We often do the same, forgetting God’s provision and focusing on what we think we lack.  God provided manna, but He also used it as a test—to see if His people would trust Him daily.
