What does it actually mean to live with a consistent Christian ethic?

In this message, we confront one of the most difficult—and necessary—conversations facing the Church today: how faith in Jesus shapes our convictions from the sanctity of life in the womb to the dignity of life at the margins.

A consistent Christian ethic refuses easy labels and partisan shortcuts. It is rooted in Scripture, shaped by the life of Jesus, and expressed through both conviction and compassion.

This message is not about political alignment—it’s about spiritual formation. Whether you are wrestling with questions of life, justice, responsibility, or mercy, this teaching invites you into a deeper, more faithful way of following Christ.

If this message challenges or encourages you, consider sharing it with someone who needs to hear it.

Many people believe following Jesus means choosing between grace and truth—between compassion and conviction.

But Jesus never made that choice.

In “Grace AND Truth: Why Jesus Refuses Our False Choices,” Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. explores how grace and truth are not opposites, but inseparable expressions of the character of God.

Drawing from John 1:14 and John 8:1–11, this message shows how Jesus holds truth firmly without cruelty and extends grace generously without compromise.

This sermon invites us into a deeper discipleship—one that refuses both harshness and avoidance, and instead learns to love the way Jesus loves.

We are living in a moment where everything is asking for our allegiance—our news feeds, our conversations, our fears, and our hopes.

In this message, “Beyond the Ballot Box,” Pastor Léonce Crump Jr. explores what Jesus teaches about loyalty, citizenship, and the Kingdom of God.

Drawing from Philippians 3:20 and Matthew 22:21, this sermon reframes political anxiety as a discipleship issue and invites us to place our deepest allegiance not in parties or platforms—but in Christ.

This message is not about disengaging from the world. It’s about engaging it differently.

Whether you feel exhausted by political division, unsure how faith and public life intersect, or curious about Christianity, this sermon invites you to consider a deeper, steadier way of living—rooted in the unshakable Kingdom of God.
