In this sermon, guest Pastor Pablo Martinez teaches on the keys to the kingdom, righteousness and surrender. Righteousness is the key to the door of peace while surrender is the key to the door of freedom. Pastor Pablo reminded us that real peace isn't something we manufacture from the outside in. It starts with being right with God. He also gets honest about the difference between being healed and being truly free, and why so many of us are still carrying what God already paid for. Perhaps what you've been waiting for is sitting behind the door of peace or freedom!

"Just keep on praying, the Lord is nigh. Just keep on praying, He'll hear your cry. The Lord has promised and His word is true. Just keep on praying, He'll answer you." Our Founding Pastor, Pastor CeCe, sang as she encouraged not just mothers, but everyone to pray no matter what. Drawing from Matthew 15, Philippians 4, and more, Pastor CeCe walks us through seven marks of a praying mother and reminds us that prayer isn't a last resort. It's the first response. She challenges us to keep going when God feels silent, to push past opposition, and to worship while we wait. Because silence isn't the end of the story. God is still working.

In the second part of our Guest Speaker Series, Pastor Denise Ray (Church on the Rock Ministries) joins us to share an essential message: "Digging Deeper." While we may love God, many of us find ourselves striving to increase our faith and clarify our purpose. Pastor Denise teaches that reaching that next level requires us to "break up" the soil of our hearts. Using the imagery of Luke 6:48 and the resilient trees of Jeremiah 17, she illustrates how a deep foundation and even deeper roots allow us to remain fruitful even in times of extreme heat and hardship. Join us as we learn how to cultivate a life that isn't just surviving, but thriving in the presence of God.

We are excited to have Pastor Steve Blair with us from Church of the Highlands in our Guest Speaker series teaching on the title, "From Oaks to Ashes". Drawing from Isaiah 61, Pastor Steve reminds us that God doesn't start with broken systems. He starts with broken hearts. Sin robs us. But God restores, and through three divine exchanges, he offers a Crown of Beauty for Ashes, the Oil of Joy for Mourning, and a Garment of Praise for the Spirit of Despair. He doesn't just remove the ashes. He replaces them with dignity. Joy isn't a feeling we wait on. It's a discipline we walk in. And when we make these exchanges, we become what Isaiah calls oaks of righteousness. Rooted. Steady. Rebuilding. Oaks don't just feel different, they live different. Whatever weight you're carrying, this message is for you. Heaven wins, and God wants to make that exchange with you today.

In this message titled Don’t Underestimate the Process, Pastor Alvin reminds us that following Jesus isn’t just about where we’re going, it’s about how we get there. Through passages like John 10:4-5 and 1 Corinthians 3:10-15, we see that both God and the enemy may point to similar outcomes, but the difference is always in the process. God’s way leads through obedience, humility, and trust. The enemy’s way often shortcuts what God has said, pushing us toward disobedience and immediate gratification. This message challenges us to look deeper than what’s visible. Are we building our lives on what people see, or on what God sees? Because in the end, everything will be tested, and only what’s built on the right foundation will remain. Don’t ignore the process. Don’t harden your heart. What you build today is shaping what lasts forever.

In the first installment of the series on eternity, Pastor Alvin walks through the story of the rich man and Lazarus to challenge how we view success, comfort, and eternity. Through this passage, Jesus confronts us with a sobering truth. What we experience now is not the full picture. Life on earth is temporary, but eternity is not. This message challenges us to examine our hearts, stay hungry for what’s beyond this life, and make decisions that last forever. Because what you gain now is not worth losing what God has prepared for later.

In this message titled Now or Later, Pastor Alvin unpacks the tension between living for what we can receive now and what God has promised later. Jesus makes it clear that both are available, but we don’t get both. This message challenges us to examine our motives, trust that God is a rewarder, and choose what lasts over what’s immediate. Because what God has prepared for you will always be worth the wait.

Waiting is rarely easy, but it’s never wasted. When we rush to fulfill our own longings—whether for provision, peace, or a promise—we often settle for shortcuts. This episode Pastor Alvin II extends an invitation to stop striving and start trusting. Learn why your inheritance isn’t out of reach—it’s simply on God’s timeline. Discover how to find strength and clarity in the middle of the "not yet" and how to trade the pressure of performance for the peace of walking as a son or daughter. Your inheritance is not in question. It’s only a matter of time.

What if your struggle isn’t a setback, but part of the story God is writing? As we wrap up our Still Building series, Pastor Alvin brings a powerful reminder that following Jesus doesn’t mean avoiding hardship, it means walking through it with purpose. Looking at Psalm 34:19 and John 16:33, this message reveals a truth many of us don’t expect. The righteous will face affliction. But through Jesus, we are promised something greater than avoidance. We are promised deliverance. Righteousness isn’t something we achieve on our own. It’s a relationship made possible through Jesus, and with it comes the assurance that every trial we face is not wasted. God uses what we go through to shape us, strengthen us, and reveal His power in our lives. You may be in a valley right now, but you’re not stuck there. In Christ, you don’t just go to the fire, you go through it. And on the other side, God is able to use your story to bring hope, healing, and even salvation to others.

Happy Anniversary Sunday, Nashville Life family! 🎉 As we celebrate all that God has done over the last 14 years and all He’s still building, Pastor Alvin continues our Still Building series with a powerful reminder that we are here because of God’s mercy, not our perfection. Looking at Psalm 51 and the heart behind true repentance, this message centers on the truth that the sacrifice for our sins has already been made. God loved us first, and everything we do is simply a response to that love, not an attempt to earn it. Through gratitude, humility, and agreement, we’re invited to align our lives with God’s vision. Your past does not define your future. God’s vision for your life looks nothing like where you’ve been, and He’s calling you to trust it as He continues building you and His church.
