SOUTHRIDGE CHURCH with Micaiah Irmler

What if everything you believed about your limits — your failures, your fears, your flaws — was incomplete? If you’ve ever wondered, "Is there more?" — the answer is yes.And in Christ, you are more than you ever imagined.

How many of you have ever experienced the internal struggle, the tug-of-war between who you aspire to be in Christ and the persistent sins that challenge your daily habits? However, it's crucial not to miss the powerful message that follows—this isn't a declaration of despair, but rather a profound gateway to hope.

This is a hope that holds up in suffering, grows stronger under pressure, and never disappoints because it’s anchored in the unfailing love of God.

Don’t work to earn what Christ already paid for. God’s gift is free — but it isn’t cheap. It cost Jesus everything, and it demands our whole-hearted trust. Let faith save you. Then let that faith lead you to walk like Abraham — not working for righteousness, but walking in it because you already have it.

Join us for this week's sermon titled "Don't Let This Kill the Call" featuring Steven Trillo, our Student Ministry Director. Steven explores meaningful truths from Scripture that inspire and guide us in our daily lives. Engage with the message, worship, and be encouraged as we seek to grow together in faith.

When the world was drowning in sin, grace didn't shout from heaven--it stepped into skin. Jesus didn't just bring grace. He is grace-wrapped in flesh, stretched on a cross, risen in power. When you wonder if God still loves you, when shame whispers that you're too far gone, look to the face of grace- Jesus Christ, arms wide open, scars still showing, saying, "This is how far grace will go for you."

What if the thing you're trusting to keep you safe is the very thing shaping who you are? Is your job? Your Bank account? A relationship? Maybe it's your reputation, your religious routine, or your ability to stay in control. We all look for security some where but what we rely on for safety eventually starts to define us. 

In a world where appearances are curated and perfection is performed, Christian hypocrisy has become the subtle costume of modern faith. This message calls out the danger of wearing a holy mask while hiding a hurting or hardened heart. Drawing from Romans 2, we confront the uncomfortable truth: God is not impressed by outward appearances—He sees through the act, straight to the heart. True faith isn’t about knowing the right words or looking the part; it’s about living authentically before God and others. Hypocrisy tries to use religion as a stage, but God’s Word is a mirror that reflects who we really are. The call is clear: drop the mask, face the mirror, and let grace do what performance never could—transform us from the inside out.

What if the scariest thing God could say is: “Okay… have it your way”?This message dives into a side of God many avoid — His wrath. But this isn’t reckless rage. It’s the holy, heartbreaking response of a loving God who’s been rejected and replaced.Romans 1 shows us that God doesn’t always judge with fire from heaven — sometimes, He simply steps back. And when He does, we feel the full weight of life without Him.This isn’t condemnation — it’s a wake-up call. God's wrath reveals where our choices lead so we’ll turn back before it’s too late.You’ll never run to mercy until you realize what you need rescuing from.If life feels like it’s unraveling, this message may show you why — and how to come home.
