Words From Dr. Jacob Hawk

(Recorded Audio from Sunday Morning Service, March 29th 2026)

In this episode, Jacob Hawk highlights Paul’s ambition in Bible Romans 15—to preach the gospel where Christ is not known—and challenges us to adopt the same heart. While our roles may look different, our priority should be the same: evangelism first, not comfort. In today’s world, where many are unchurched, the opportunity to reach others is greater than ever, and often it starts with something simple—an invitation. This message calls us to shift from maintaining what we have to actively pursuing those who don’t yet know Jesus.(Recorded Audio from Sunday Morning Service, March 23rd 2026)

In this sermon, Jacob Hawk explores the “seven things God hates” from Proverbs 6, emphasizing that understanding what God hates helps us better understand what He loves. The message highlights how sin often begins subtly—through pride, dishonesty, harmful actions, and sinful thoughts—but can quickly grow into destructive patterns that impact both individuals and communities. Particular focus is given to the dangers of rushing into sin, spreading division, and living without integrity, showing how these behaviors damage relationships and distance us from God.Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to examine their hearts, pursue righteousness, and model their lives after Jesus—who embodies truth, humility, unity, and sacrificial love.(Recorded Audio from Sunday Evening Service, March 15th 2026)

In this sermon, Jacob Hawk reminds us of three essentials every Christian must hold onto. Drawing from Hebrews and John, he shows that we cannot live without the blood of Jesus, because without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness; we cannot live without faith, because without faith it is impossible to please God; and we cannot live without Jesus Himself, because apart from Him we can do nothing of eternal value. This lesson is a call to remember what matters most, to trust God in life’s hardest moments, and to recommit ourselves to walking closely with Christ.(Recorded Audio from Sunday Evening Service, March 8th 2026)
