Arborway Community Church

Life rarely slows down. With so much competing for our attention, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. This week, Pastor Ivey takes us to Luke 10 to uncover the one thing Jesus says is truly necessary, and the four simple actions that help us stay focused in a distracted world.

We often look for dramatic spiritual breakthroughs, but real change usually comes through quiet faithfulness. This week, Pastor Ivey teaches on a foundational spiritual discipline that brings us closer to God and shapes every part of our lives.

Love is essential to joy, but not all love is the same. We use the word for tacos and family, movies and marriages. So what does real love actually mean? This week, we turn to Scripture to discover the depth and beauty of the love that gives us true joy.

Some people love Christmas. Others feel indifferent. And for many, it’s a painful season to get through. But what if real joy isn’t tied to circumstances at all? This week, Pastor Ivey explores why Christmas can be a season of deep, lasting joy. Not because of gifts, lights, or traditions, but because of Jesus.

The world is noisy, our hearts are anxious, and the peace we crave always seems a step out of reach. Yet, what if the peace you’re missing is actually the peace that gives every other kind of peace its power? Join Pastor Ivey this week as he shows us where true peace begins and how it can change your life.

When life feels dark and heavy, joy can seem impossible to find. But Advent begins with a promise: light breaks in. This week we’re kicking off our new series on Joy by looking at how the hope we have in Christ can produce real joy, even on the days when joy feels out of reach.

This week we wrap up the Apostles’ Creed by looking at the future God has promised. Many think Christianity is just about avoiding hell, but Scripture paints a far bigger, better story. Pastor Ivey walks us through our real destiny: resurrection, renewal, and the new heavens and new earth. If you’ve ever wondered how the story ends, this one’s for you.

Is the church essential or just a nice add-on to the Christian life? If you’ve ever wondered whether gathering with God’s people still matters, this message is for you. Pastor Ivey unpacks Ephesians 4 to show why the church is God’s plan to heal, transform, and reach the world.

Some theologians have called the Holy Spirit “Forgotten God.” And for many believers, that’s true. We talk about the Father and the Son, but rarely about the Spirit. Yet without the Holy Spirit, there’s no power, no transformation, and no real Christian life at all. This week, Pastor Ivey unpacks who the Holy Spirit is, what He does, and why your faith depends on Him. Don’t miss this chance to red...

Judgment sounds scary… until you see it through the eyes of grace. In this message, Pastor Ivey reveals how Christ’s return and judgment are not something to fear, but something that fills believers with unshakable hope.

We all know about the cross and the resurrection. But what about what came next? After Jesus rose from the dead, He didn’t just disappear; He ascended, He reigns, and He’s still at work today. Pastor Ivey unpacks why the ascension and enthronement of Jesus are essential to your faith and your life right now.

Death comes for everyone... even Jesus. But what looked like the darkest moment in history became the greatest victory of all time. In this message, Pastor Ivey unpacks how the death of Christ turns our deepest fears into a living hope. The cross meant to kill was His victory, and it can be yours too.

What if God actually stepped into our world, into the dirt, the struggle, and the mess of human life? This week, Pastor Ivey unpacks one of the greatest mysteries in the Bible: the Incarnation. More than a deep theological idea, this truth changes everything about how we see God, ourselves, and the world around us. Discover why the Incarnation isn’t just something to believe in, it’s something to...

“Who is Jesus?” That’s the most important question you’ll ever answer. In Matthew 16, Peter declares, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” This week, Pastor Ivey unpacks why that confession still changes everything—and how the Apostles’ Creed helps us see who Christ really is.

This Sunday, we’re kicking off a new series on the Apostles’ Creed. Pastor Ivey will show why these ancient words aren’t just history but a foundation for modern life. Your beliefs shape who you are and how you face life... don’t you want to make sure they’re rooted in the right place? Watch and discover the core beliefs every Christian needs.

We all want to be remembered. We all want to make a positive impact on the world. Through the Lord, each one of us can make our mark on the world, not just for this world, but for eternity. This week Pastor ivey shows that our ministry matter's in God's plan. Watch and learn 10 essential reasons our service to God is the #1 one thing we will be remembered for.

Some things in life aren’t meant to be done alone: concerts, movies, bowling nights… and church! God designed you for community, not isolation. Church isn’t just a sermon to watch or music to enjoy, it’s a family to belong to. This week, Pastor Ivey reveals how the early church used four simple patterns that made them extraordinary. Watch and see church in a whole new way.

We all know physical and emotional growth matter. But there’s one kind of growth Christians often forget (And it’s the most important of all). In Colossians 3, Pastor Ivey reveals why real spiritual growth requires two things: feeding your soul and putting your old life to death. Join us this week as we see how God is doing both in your life.

We've all had experiences that ruin every other experience in that category. For instance, maybe you've watched a movie that made every other movie seem lesser. Or you've eaten a sandwich that defined what sandwiches should taste like. In a sense, those experiences wreck us. That's what Jesus does to our lives. Watch this week as Pastor Ivey shows us how Jesus wrecks our lives, but in the most bea...

This week one of Arborway's elders brings a powerful message about the Parable of the Sower. Is your heart prepared for God's word? Watch this week and Wale Ilori brings God's Word from Mark chapter 4.

In Colossians, the Apostle Paul unveils the greatest mystery in the Bible. Believe it or not, it’s not the location of the Ark of the Covenant, the identity of the anti-Christ, or even the timing of Jesus’ return. Those might spark curiosity, but they pale in comparison to the ultimate mystery: Jesus Christ Himself. This week, Pastor Ivey unpacks how Christ is the revealed answer to our deepest an...

This week Pastor Olu Fakaye guest preaches and gives a powerful message from Luke 15. Olu is the pastor of New Inspiration Church in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood.

Who really runs the world? Politicians think they do. Influencers act like they do. But the truth? None of them actually do. This week, Pastor Ivey takes us to Colossians 1:15-23 and unpacks a beautifully rich passage that reveals the real ruler of everything: Jesus. Don’t miss this message as we unpack three powerful ways Jesus rules the world.

This week we start a new series in the book of Colossians. Our new series will explore Christ, the one who is greater. But in this first message Pastor Ivey starts us off by showing us what the Bible says a great church is. What makes up a great church isn't what we most people expect, but the good news: Any church can be great. Watch this week's message so you can identify what makes a great chur...

We live in a world that celebrates heroes — and deep down, we all want to be one. As kids, we dream of being firefighters, astronauts, and superheroes. But as we grow older, reality sets in: we can’t save ourselves. We need a hero. This week, Pastor Ivey wraps up our study in Galatians by showing us who the true hero of the story really is: Jesus.
