Union City Church

This week, guest speaker Joshua Symonette from Hopeville Church in Baltimore, MD challenges us with a powerful message.What if the thing that frustrates you most about the world is actually an invitation from God?Looking at the life of Nehemiah, we explore how God uses ordinary people to bring hope, restoration, and change when they're willing to seek Him, submit to Him, and trust Him to provide what they lack.

We live in a culture that constantly points us back to ourselves, but Jesus invites us into a better way. In this message, we explore how true freedom is found not in self-promotion or self-preservation, but in surrendering our lives to Christ and becoming people who are free to love, serve, and bless others.

What if the freedom you're longing for begins with bringing your story into the light? In Week 3 of Free Indeed, we look at the woman at the well and discover that Jesus meets us in the places we've been hiding—not with condemnation, but with grace, healing, and the invitation to live truly free.

In "Freedom in Forgiveness," we look at Jesus' teaching on forgiveness and why extending grace to others is essential for every believer. Learn practical ways to forgive, release resentment, and experience the freedom God desires for your life.

In Week 1 of our Free Indeed series, we explore Jesus’ powerful promise that “the truth will set you free.” Discover how lies from the enemy, our own desires, and the culture around us can lead to bondage—and how abiding in the truth of Christ brings real freedom. 

In this final message of the “By the Spirit” series, we explore what it truly means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit — not for hype or performance, but for transformation and bold witness. Through Acts 1–2, we’re reminded that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength, but through surrender to the Spirit who forms us to look like Jesus and empowers us to speak boldly about Him.

You were never meant to simply attend church—you were designed to help build it. This message explores how the Holy Spirit uniquely gifts every believer to strengthen others, serve the church, and reveal the heart of Jesus through everyday obedience.

What does it actually look like to be led by the Holy Spirit in everyday life? This message explores how the Spirit guides, shapes, and forms us—not just by giving direction, but by teaching us to trust and walk with God daily.

There’s a real battle happening within us—the flesh pulling one way and the Spirit leading another. This message shows how victory isn’t found in willpower, but in learning to walk with the Spirit and stay in step with His leading every day.

You can have belief, knowledge, and community—and still feel spiritually empty. This message reveals why being filled with the Holy Spirit isn’t about getting more of God, but about giving Him more of you.

It’s possible to know a lot about the Holy Spirit and still not truly know Him. This message invites you into a deeper, more personal relationship with the Spirit—the source of life, power, and transformation.

Peter denied Jesus at his lowest moment, but that wasn’t the end of his story. This message explores how Jesus meets us in our failure—not to shame us, but to restore us and call us forward again.
