MISSIONS MONTH l Bless the City l Pastor Jamie Kemp

Jeremiah 29:7 We’re not just called to be a church IN Jakarta. We’re called to be a church FOR Jakarta. In Jeremiah 29:7, God told His people living in exile in Babylon to do something unexpected: pray for the city and work for its peace and prosperity. They wanted to get out. God wanted to teach them how to live faithfully while they were in. And He calls us to the same kind of faithfulness today. We're not from here, but we're sent here. Our calling isn't to withdraw from the city, bu...

MISSIONS MONTH l Bless the Lord l Pastor Jamie Kemp
John 3:16 What if we’ve become so used to our faith that we’ve stopped noticing what God is doing around us? Jesus didn’t just come to teach us a new way. He came to announce a New Day. A day of forgiveness. A day of healing. A day of freedom. A day of reconciliation. A day of hope. And that’s what missions is: Announcing the New Day—not just with our words, but with our lives. Missions begins right here. In our homes. In our workplaces. In Jakarta. And wherever God calls us to go. Jesus love...

Face2Face l Something Beautiful l Pastor Jamie Kemp
Mark 14:1-11 What if the things that matter most in life can’t be measured by efficiency or ROI? In Mark 14, an unnamed woman walks into a room, breaks an expensive jar of perfume, and pours it all out on Jesus. The room saw a "waste," but Jesus saw something entirely different: worship, devotion, and love. He called it Kalos—intrinsically beautiful. We often hold back because we look at what we don't have (money, influence, or the right platform). But Jesus simply asks: What do you have in y...

Face2Face | Paradoxical Faith l Pastor Jamie Kemp
Faith doesn’t have to be perfect to be real. In Mark 9, a father prays: “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” You can bring Jesus your faith, your doubts, your questions, and your struggles. The question isn’t, “Do you have perfect faith?” What are you going to do with the faith you have? Life Group Guide: https://bit.ly/life-group-guide Support the show

Face2Face l Turning Point l Pastor Jamie Kemp
When Jesus takes His disciples to Caesarea Philippi—the center of pagan worship and what was known as "the gates of hell"—He asks a defining question: "Who do you say I am?" In the middle of spiritual darkness, panic, and uncertainty, Jesus declares that He is building His church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. In a world full of opinions, noise, and circumstances we can't control, faith has to become personal. The god of panic does not get the final word because the Princ...

Face2Face | Great to Great | Pastor Jeff Hartensveld
This weekend is a special moment in the life of IES as we celebrated the consecration of Pastor Jamie and Tasha. In his message, “From Great to Great,” Pastor Jeff spoke from Mark 2:18–22, using the transition from John the Baptist to Jesus to help us think about seasons of leadership and change. Transitions naturally invite comparison. We compare personalities, styles, methods, and what is new with what we have known before. But Pastor Jeff reminded us that different does not necessarily mea...

Face2Face | Stretch Out Your Hand | Pastor Jamie Kemp
Read: Mark 3:1-6 You don't rest because you're tired; you rest so you don't grow tired. This is rooted in Matthew 11:28, where Jesus invites the weary and burdened to find rest. Jesus enters a synagogue on the Sabbath and encounters a man with a withered hand. While the religious leaders (Pharisees) are watching closely to trap Jesus for breaking Sabbath laws, Jesus sees a person in need. He commands the man to stand up, challenges the Pharisees' hard hearts, and heals him—prompting the...

Face2Face | Fantastic Four | Pastor Steve Andres
This weekend at IES, we’re joined by Pastor Steve Andres as he takes us into Mark 2 and the story of a paralyzed man whose friends refused to let anything stand in the way of getting him to Jesus. In this message, we’re reminded of a surprising truth: people can be the problem, but people are also God’s solution. Our relationships require patience, forgiveness, generosity, and love but God uses ordinary people to carry one another toward Jesus. What kind of friend are we? Are we carrying...

Face2Face | Good News, Not Good Advice | Pastor Jamie Kemp
Face2Face (Week 1) l Good News, Not Good Advice l Mark 1:1, 16-20 Christianity isn’t about a self-help program or a list of rules—it’s about meeting a Person. In our brand new series, Face2Face, we are looking at how ordinary people met Jesus and were never the same again. When Jesus walked along the shore of the Sea of Galilee and called out to the fishermen, He wasn’t looking for perfection—He was looking for faithfulness in the ordinary. The incredible truth i...

Special Sunday | FOLLOW | Pastor Tirza Magdiel
What does it really mean to follow God when we don’t know where He is leading us? In this sermon, Ps. Tirza talks about what it means to follow God by faith—even when we don’t know the outcome, have all the answers, or have everything we need. Through the story of Abraham in Hebrews 11, Ps. Tirza reminds us that following God requires faith, obedience, trust, and a willingness to let go. Abraham went when God called him, even though he didn’t know where he was going. He trusted God’s promise ...
