SERMONS

Pastor Scott teaches that no one is made right with God through personal goodness, religious accomplishments, or comparison with others; justification comes only to those who humbly recognize their sin and trust entirely in the saving work of Jesus Christ. Through the contrasting prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collector, Jesus warns against self-righteousness and shows that those who cry out for God’s mercy in humble faith are forgiven, declared righteous, and welcomed into His kingdom.

Pastor Scott teaches that prayer is a continual privilege of every believer, encouraging Christians to persevere in confident, faith-filled prayer because God is a loving, righteous Father who hears His people and always answers according to His perfect wisdom and timing. Through the parable of the persistent widow, Jesus calls His disciples not to lose heart while waiting for His return but to remain steadfast in prayer, trusting that He will ultimately bring justice and fulfill all His promises.

Pastor Scott explains that the kingdom of God is both a present reality and a future hope: Christ inaugurated His kingdom through His first coming, and He will consummate it in power and glory at His return as King of kings. Because no one knows when that day will come, believers are called to live with unwavering faith, undivided allegiance, and constant readiness, while those who ignore or reject the King today will face His judgment when He comes again.
