God has given each of us unique gifts, not just for ourselves, but to serve others and help build His Kingdom. The question is: are we willing to step out in faith and allow God to use what He’s placed inside of us? This message challenges us to seek God for His plans and purposes for our lives,...

In this message, we're reminded that the power of the Holy Spirit wasn't given just for the early Church, it was given so God's people could boldly share the Gospel with the world. The mission Jesus gave His disciples is still the mission of the Church today. God has called each of us to be His...

Community: Acts 4:32-5:11

Called To Extol the Excellencies of Jesus Christ.
This week, we're in 1 Peter 2:1–10, where we're reminded of the incredible identity we've been given in Christ. We are God's chosen people, called out of darkness into His marvelous light, not only to know Him, but to make Him known. As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, our lives should...

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | Saul’s Witchcraft, 1 Sam 28 | Week 40
What happens when we repeatedly ignore God’s voice? This passage shows the danger of drifting so far that we begin looking for answers in places God never intended us to go.

In this passage, Saul continues to pursue David with violence, but David responds the same way again: he refuses to take revenge. Instead, he trusts God to be his judge and defender. When offense is repeated, the temptation to retaliate only grows stronger. But God’s Word calls us to a different...

Foundations Build on the Word of God.
What we feed our hearts will always show up in our lives. Jesus said you know a tree by its fruit, and the foundation we build on reveals whether we’ve truly obeyed Him or just heard His words.

Prophet, Priest, & Judge | David Appointed King, 1 Samuel 16:1-13 | Week 22
This week, we’re in the story where God chooses David, the youngest, the overlooked, the least likely, as the next king. Why? Because God sees differently than we do. He delights in using the unexpected to display His power. If it doesn’t make sense to you, that’s okay, trust His way anyway. God...
