Chair Faith: Why We Trust What We Can't See

04/24/25 • 13 min

What if the simple act of sitting in a chair could reveal the profound mystery of faith? Pastor Hezron Marwa takes us on a journey through the essential nature of faith, beginning with this everyday metaphor that perfectly captures what Hebrews 11:1 calls "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
Drawing from powerful biblical examples, Pastor Marwa explores five critical dimensions of faith that transform our spiritual lives. We discover why faith literally makes it possible to please God, how Jesus actively notices our faith levels, and the remarkable way faith moves God to action. Through the contrasting stories of the persistent Gentile woman and the doubting disciple Peter, we see how faith quality—not quantity—determines our spiritual outcomes.
For those weathering life's storms, this message offers particular comfort. Faith functions as our spiritual shield during trials, producing perseverance and proving "more precious than gold." Pastor Marwa compassionately addresses those on the verge of giving up, offering a powerful pregnancy metaphor: what you've been carrying in prayer is about to be birthed! The message culminates with practical insights on faith and works, showing how these inseparable partners must move together to create an authentic Christian witness.
Whether you're struggling to trust God with unanswered prayers or seeking to understand the biblical foundations of faith, this message provides both theological depth and practical application. Pastor Marwa's passion for helping believers develop unshakable faith shines through every word.

Empty Tombs and Living Hope: Finding Power in Resurrection Truth

What makes Christianity different from every other belief system in the world? In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Ryan Sutton unpacks the single most transformative event in human history—the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The empty tomb isn't just a nice religious symbol or a feel-good story; it fundamentally changes everything about how we understand life, death, and what happens beyond the grave. Pastor Ryan shares the touching story of Philip, a third-grade boy with Down syndrome who taught his classmates the profound truth that "the tomb was empty" through a simple Easter project. Through Philip's innocent wisdom, we glimpse how resurrection truth can be both elegantly simple yet eternally profound.
Moving beyond sentimentality, Pastor Ryan presents six compelling reasons why the resurrection demands our belief: Jesus predicted it, the Old Testament prophesied it, the tomb was demonstrably empty, hundreds witnessed the risen Christ, the disciples were radically transformed, and lives continue to be changed by resurrection power today. While other religious leaders remain in their graves, Christianity alone offers a Savior who conquered death.
The implications are staggering. As Pastor Ryan powerfully states, "Christians don't die—they just relocate." The resurrection isn't merely about what happened to Jesus; it's about what happens to us when we place our faith in him. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives in believers, bringing resurrection power to our mortal bodies and transforming our perspective on both life and death.
This message culminates in the powerful "That's My King" declaration, celebrating Jesus as the incomparable, invincible King of Kings who death could not handle and the grave could not hold. If you're seeking hope that extends beyond this life or power for transformation in your current circumstances, discover why the resurrection matters—not just on Easter Sunday, but every day of your life.

Prayer, Trust, and Promises: Becoming the Mother God Designed You to Be

Motherhood's journey is rarely smooth sailing. Through the powerful biblical story of Hannah, Pastor Purity Muthoni reminds us that even godly mothers face problems—and shows us exactly how to navigate them with grace and faith.
Drawing from 1 Samuel, Pastor Purity dismantles the dangerous myth that godly living shields us from difficulties. Instead, she reveals how Hannah's painful struggle with infertility and the mockery of Peninnah became the crucible that forged her extraordinary faith. For every mother who has faced her own "Peninnah"—whether infertility, difficult relationships, challenging children, or other heartaches—this message offers profound hope.
Pastor Purity unpacks five transformative characteristics of godly motherhood: facing problems with courage, praying through pain, trusting God's provision (even when it looks different than expected), keeping promises despite the cost, and praising God in all circumstances. Her warm, pastoral guidance reassures mothers they don't have to face their challenges alone.
This Mother's Day message speaks to women in every stage of motherhood, offering biblical wisdom that transcends cultural expectations. Whether you're struggling with overwhelm, wondering if your prayers are making a difference, or simply seeking to raise children who will serve the Lord, Pastor Purity's words will uplift your spirit and renew your vision for godly motherhood.
