Kingdom Come: Part 2 - Watching for the Kingdom
What does it look like to live ready for the return of King Jesus? In week two of Kingdom Come, we unpack the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids in Matthew 25:1–13, reminding us that following Jesus is more than simply knowing about Him. It's about trusting Him, surrendering to His leadership, and...
-
Kingdom Come: Part 1 - The Coming of the King
You may not know it, but you live in a kingdom. Actually, you live between two kingdoms. One is full of darkness, and trying to bend your allegiance to it every day. The other was ushered in by Jesus, and still being realized in our world today.
-
Forgiveness, Jesus - Style: Part 4 - Forgiveness and the People Who Hurt Us the Most
One of the most difficult, even controversial, parts of being a Christ-follower is the command to forgive those who have wronged you. How can you possibly do that when someone wrongs you in a really bad way? Jesus offers strength for that part of your journey too.
-
Forgiveness, Jesus - Style: Part 3 - The Freedom of Forgiveness
We all hold a lot of brokenness, and often are just trying to put ourselves back together so that no one else sees the cracks. But the brokenness is real. And outside of Jesus, there’s nothing we can do about it. The good news is that Jesus doesn’t leave us there.
-
Forgiveness, Jesus - Style: Part 2 - Forgiveness When They Don’t Deserve It
What do we do when someone has hurt us so deeply that they don’t deserve forgiveness? This week, we’re reminded that forgiveness begins by recognizing the unpayable debt God has already forgiven in us. When we understand the grace we’ve received, we can begin to extend that same grace to others.
-
Forgiveness, Jesus - Style: Part 1 - The Forgiveness We Want VS the Forgiveness Jesus Gives
Jesus created a new way of living where forgiven people become forgiving people. The world says: “Forgiveness is something people earn.” Jesus says: “Forgiveness is something you give because you have received it.”
-
Be A Builder: Part 5 - Builders Multiply
What are you building that will outlast you? In the final week of Be a Builder, we look at how Nehemiah and the Israelites didn’t just rebuild a wall—they allowed God to rebuild a people. When we see where God is working, step up, serve, and persevere, He can use even our imperfect efforts to…

Be A Builder: Part 4 - Builders Persevere
One of the most important and underrated skills of someone on the move just might be perseverance. Perseverance can carry you through a lot of challenges and opposition. Let’s learn how Nehemiah handled opposition, and how we can too.
-
Be A Builder: Part 3 - Builders Serve
You can either be a consumer or be a builder. Something that is true about builders? Builders serve. They look for ways to use their unique gifts to help grow God’s kingdom. Let’s learn how to do that together.
-
Be A Builder: Part 2 - Builders Say Yes
Seeing a need is only the beginning—builders are willing to say yes and step into it. In Nehemiah 2, we see Nehemiah move from concern to commitment, facing fear, obstacles, and opposition while trusting God to lead the way. This message challenges us to consider where God may be inviting us to...
-
Be A Builder: Part 1 - Builders See
If you’re going to build something, there better be a really good reason to spend time, effort, and resources to do it. You have to see a need. In God’s Kingdom, we’re invited to see the needs around us and ask a pivotal question.
-
Summer Playlist: Track 04 - Singing the Right Song
What song do you want to sing with your life? Another way of saying that is - what story do you want to tell? Let’s tell great stories with our lives! Jesus wants to help you do just that.
-
Summer Playlist: Track 03 - A Song for Every Day
As far as playlists go, there’s a song that Jesus wants everyone to add to theirs. It’s actually a secret recipe for success.

In Track 02 of Summer Playlist, we explore Mark 1:14–15 and discover why the kingdom of God is the interpretive key that brings the entire Bible—and our entire lives—into focus. Jesus announces the good news that God’s long-awaited King has arrived, His restoration plan is unfolding, and His...
-
Summer Playlist: Track 01 - For Such a Time as This
In the first message of our Summer Playlist series, Lynn Marshall explores Esther 4:14 and the courage it takes to say yes when God invites us into something bigger than ourselves. Through Esther’s story, we are reminded that our position, experiences, influence, and even our pain may be part of...
-
Going the Distance: Part 4 - Fuel Up
The best relationships happen when there is mutual submission, and where I’m putting your needs above my own. But where does the strength to do that come from? Relationships that go the distance are truly supernatural.
-
Going the Distance: Part 3 - Taking the Road of Honor
Nobody likes rules, but they’re helpful if you’re on a road trip. The good news is that, in relationships, there’s really only one rule that matters.
-
Going the Distance: Part 2 - Have a Map
If you want relationships that go the distance, you need to consider your posture towards people. Is it conditional - you respect them if they respect you? Jesus introduced a new way to relate that helps us have relationships that last.
-
Going the Distance: Part 1 - Choose a Destination
If you have any relationships anywhere, you will experience conflict. There’s no way around it. If that’s true, the cards are really stacked against us. How do we have relationships that go the distance? If that happens, it’s because we’re able to work through conflict together, and own our part…

Do For One: Part 4 - Be the One
Sometimes you’re the one that God wants to send. So you can trust that He is orchestrating the places, the timing, and the conversations just as He wants.
-
Do For One: Part 3 - Serve the One
We often hear that we should think big, and dream big. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But what if, when it comes to joining God in his mission here on earth, we are just supposed to look at what’s right in front of us. With God, the smallest act of obedience can lead to the biggest result.
-
Do For One: Part 2 - Love the One You’re With
The needs of the world are overwhelming. Often, the needs in our own house are overwhelming! How can we not just throw up our hands and do nothing? There’s an approach Jesus took with people that can help us figure out how to be helpful and not just give up.
-
Do For One: Part 1 - See the One
In this message, we explore the story of the Good Samaritan and the challenge to truly see the one God has placed in front of us. Jesus reminds us that while we can’t do everything for everyone, we can show love, compassion, and mercy to one person at a time. This message encourages us to slow...
-
Peter: Rebel and Rock: Part 5 - Too Good to Be True
When we catch back up with Peter in the book of Acts, he seems to have it all together - a powerful position of influence, a dynamic and respected speaker, with the wisdom of someone who spent time with Jesus. More than most of us can live up to. But how did he become that person? How did he move...
-
Peter: Rebel and Rock: Part 4 - After You've Let Everyone Down
What happens when you’ve really blown it? Like, really blown it? This week, we look at Peter’s denial of Jesus, and the powerful moment of restoration that proves failure is never the end of your story.
-
Peter: Rebel and Rock: Part 3 - Looking Through His Eyes
What if the way you see yourself isn’t the truth? This week, we look at Peter’s story and discover a powerful truth: Jesus sees you as He intends you to be—and that changes how we live, love, and follow Him.
-
Peter: Rebel and Rock: Part 2 - Getting Out of the Boat
Jesus’ goal for Peter was transformation…moving him from rebel to a rock that Jesus could rely on. Where is the place that transformation happens? When we have risky faith.
-
Easter at Love Lake Norman: Peter - Rebel and Rock
Peter was a rebel…a rough, tough fisherman who did his own thing his own way. But one day, he met Jesus. And Jesus ended up calling Peter his rock. How did that all happen? How did this transformation take place? Can the same thing take place in our own lives?
-
The Void: Part 4 - Is Christianity Actually Different?
At first glance, it might be easy to assume that Christianity is just one more belief system, one more religion, among many. After all, it’s just one more way that humans are trying to explain God, right? When you dig deeper, that assumption disappears. There is something that makes this faith...
-
The Void: Part 3 - The Relational Void
Relationships often fall into a “void” between expectation and reality, creating tension, hurt, and disconnection. Through Romans 12, we’re challenged to build bridges instead of walls by choosing humility, genuine love, prayer, and self-control. When we do, God can use even the messiest...
-
The Void: Part 2 - Between the Now and the Not Yet
Life is complex in so many ways. Sometimes relationships, technology, career, and family only serve to make things even more complicated. Can faith really make a difference in your complex, anxious, over-scheduled life? You may be surprised at what Jesus has to say about this very issue.
-
The Void: Part 1 - Where is God in the void?
It’s one of life’s greatest questions…where is God when bad things happen? Every day the news seems to get worse. Why does it happen? And where is God in all of it? It turns out that the Bible has a lot to say to answer these questions.
