"He Knew What it Would Cost" with Pastor Chad Stuart" - June 6, 2026

Living Holy, Living Wholly

In this message, Chad Stuart reminds believers that the body is not a disposable shell or private possession, but the temple of the Holy Spirit, bought by the price of Christ’s cross. He shows how Scripture refuses to separate spiritual life from physical life, calling disciples to love God with their strength as well as their hearts and minds. Rather than laying down harsh rules, he invites listeners to respond to Jesus’ love by honoring their bodies through wise, grace-filled habits that support wholeness. The challenge is simple but weighty: if God owns us completely, then caring for our bodies becomes an act of worship and a practical expression of discipleship.

Baccalaureate Worship Service

In this message, Hadid Cortez challenges the idea that the Christian life is about arriving at absolute certainty and instead shows it as a lifelong journey of discovery, growth, and trust in God. Using the limits of math, science, and the stories of Moses, Peter, and Paul, he reminds listeners that even the greatest minds and strongest believers were shaped more by unfolding grace than by perfect understanding. His central insight is that faith is not a closed system to master, but a living relationship with a God who is always greater than our categories and expectations. This matters because it frees believers to stop chasing the illusion of having it all figured out and to press on with humility, wonder, and confidence in the God who keeps leading them forward.

SAA Alumni Sabbath - "The Centurion's Sermon," with Pastor Matthew Rajarathinam - May 16, 2026

In this message, Matthew Racharatnam holds up the centurion in Matthew 8 as a picture of faith that Jesus marvels at: humble, confident, and completely surrendered to Christ’s authority. He shows that real faith is not about managing God, but trusting His word, moving toward Jesus, and coming with honest need rather than self-sufficiency. Most strikingly, the centurion’s faith is for someone else — a suffering servant — reminding listeners that mature faith doesn’t stop at personal blessing but carries the burdens of others into God’s presence. This sermon matters because it asks a searching question: who is being lifted by your faith, and does your trust in Jesus reach beyond yourself?

Finding strength in your unique story

This message reminds us that every believer has a faith story, and that story is meant to testify to God’s faithfulness across generations. Through Shifra’s life, we hear how God used family heritage, childhood experiences, and even painful moments to shape a living, personal faith rooted in the kindness of God. The sermon challenges listeners to see faith as more than inheritance or habit—it must become our own response to Jesus. It matters because sharing our story can strengthen someone else’s hope and help them recognize that God has been faithful in their life too.

When god leads through unexpected callings

This message reminds us that church is never just a building—God’s presence is what changes everything. Through a deeply honest story of unexpected turns, the speaker shows how God can guide a life that never looked straightforward, using every detour, disappointment, and surprise to prepare someone for exactly where they need to be. The challenge for listeners is to trust God even when the next step makes no sense, because He is often writing a bigger story than we can see. It matters because many people are living with uncertainty right now, and this sermon offers a steady hope: God has not lost track of you, and He is still at work.
