Who Am I Really? | Summer Lovin' 1 | Joe Caiati

In a world obsessed with image and performance, it's easy to pretend, perform, and conform to be accepted—just like Sandy and Danny in Grease. But God doesn’t want a polished version of you—He wants your heart. In Romans 12:1-2, we’re called not to conform to the world’s patterns but to be transformed by renewing our minds. You don’t need to fix yourself before coming to Jesus—He meets you where you are and transforms you from the inside out. You are not your past or your performance. You are God’s beloved, made new through Christ. Drop the mask. Live free.

The Walk of Grace: Lust | Deadly Desires 8 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Lust promises love but leaves devastation. This message traces the tragic story of Amnon and Tamar to reveal how lust distorts love, seeks validation, demands control, and ultimately brings shame. It doesn’t stay private—its ripple effects harm others and even future generations. Yet, through David’s repentance in Psalm 51, we see that God doesn’t reject the broken. He restores them. For anyone trapped in lust or wounded by it, Jesus offers healing, cleansing, and redemption.

Worshiping Food & Drink | Deadly Desires 7 - Pastor Keith Indovino

Gluttony isn’t about food—it’s about the heart. Like Esau, we often trade what matters most for what satisfies in the moment. But Jesus, the Bread of Life, offers lasting satisfaction and the power to overcome our cravings. Today’s message invites you to examine what’s ruling your appetite and choose dependence on Christ instead. Let food point you to worship, not control you.

Chasing More, Never Satisfied | Deadly Desires 6 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Greed whispers that more possessions will bring security. But Jesus warns, “Watch out!” because life doesn’t consist in an abundance of possessions. In Luke 12, He tells of a man whose wealth made him feel secure but left him empty before God. True security comes not from stuff but from trusting Jesus. To silence greed’s whisper, we live simply, manage wisely, remember eternity, trust God’s provision, and practice generosity. Jesus invites us to lasting security in Him.

Slow Drift From Purpose | Deadly Desires 5 | Pastor Keith Indovino

What if the greatest threat to your faith isn’t rebellion, but indifference? In Revelation 3, Jesus confronts the church in Laodicea not for denying Him, but for their lukewarm devotion—proof of spiritual sloth. Sloth isn’t laziness; it’s apathy toward God’s calling. It disguises itself as busyness, self-care, or comfort, but leads to a life without purpose. Jesus calls us to repent, be zealous, and come back to Him. He disciplines those He loves and invites us into real rest, not counterfeit comfort. Where have you allowed sloth to creep into your life? Jesus is knocking—how will you respond?

Watch Out For Wrath | Deadly Desires 4 | Pastor Keith Indovino

What do you do when you feel angry? Anger isn’t a sin—it’s a signal. But if left unresolved, it becomes wrath, and wrath destroys. God gives us a four-step framework to deal with anger: Conversation (talk to God), Examination (ask why you're angry), Opportunity (choose what is right), and Warning (guard against sin). Like Cain, we often justify our emotions and ignore God’s call. But Jesus, our true older brother, didn’t act in wrath—He acted in love. Today, surrender your anger at the cross and receive the healing only Jesus offers.

Combating Envy | Deadly Desires 3 | Pastor Amy Indovino

Rachel and Leah’s story in Genesis 29–30 shows how envy can turn sisters into rivals. One longed for love, the other for children—each believing they needed what the other had to feel valuable. Envy convinces us we’re lacking and makes it hard to celebrate others. But God offers a better way. Envy says, “I want what you have,” but contentment says, “I trust what God has given.” Through repentance and gratitude, God uproots envy from our hearts. Like Leah, when we say, “This time I will praise the Lord,” our hearts shift. The Gospel reminds us—our worth is secure in Christ.

Pride Builds Towers | Deadly Desires 2 | Pastor Keith Indovino

Pride distorts our God-given purpose. Genesis 11 shows humanity building a tower to make a name for themselves, forsaking their identity, value, and mission. But God, in mercy, intervened. In Acts 2, He reversed Babel—sending the Holy Spirit to restore what pride destroyed. Now, through Jesus, we receive a new name and a renewed purpose. Just like the crowd in Acts 2, we’re invited to respond: “What shall we do?” The answer—repent, be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit.

The Power of Desire | Deadly Desires 1 | Pastor Keith Indovino

In this opening message of Deadly Desires, we explore the power of desire through James 1:13–18. Desire itself isn’t evil—it’s a gift from God—but when twisted by temptation, it gives birth to sin and, ultimately, death. Temptation comes from the world, the enemy, and often our own flesh. While our sinful nature lures us away, God offers new birth through Jesus Christ, our High Priest, who was tempted yet never sinned. Because of Him, we can now come boldly to God's throne. As we worship, we reflect: Where am I trying to satisfy a God-given desire in a sinful way?

Easter Sunday: You Don’t Need To Search Anymore | Follow Me 16 | Pastor Keith Indovino

You might be at church on Easter because of tradition, curiosity, or just hoping for something real. The truth is—we’re all searching. In Mark 16, women came to the tomb grieving, expecting a dead body, and facing a problem they couldn’t solve. But God had already moved the stone. Jesus rose. He’s alive—and He’s still calling people by name, even those who’ve failed. Easter means your search can end. Jesus offers peace, purpose, and a new beginning.
