|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry continued our journey through Paul’s story by unpacking what life really looks like after meeting Jesus. We’ve heard about Paul’s past and his powerful encounter on the road to Damascus—but this week zoomed in on the honest, everyday reality of following Christ. Pastor Jerry reminded us that faith isn’t about perfection, but about daily decisions to say yes to...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry kicks off the final refresh in our ACTS message series by diving into Paul’s powerful encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul was obsessed with hunting down Christians - but right in the middle of that mission, Jesus showed up and changed everything. Instead of judgment, Paul received grace, and that moment became the start of a brand new life. Past...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || This week, Pastor Jerry kicked off a three-part series diving into Paul’s testimony before King Agrippa. He started with Paul’s life before Jesus—a time when Paul was completely against Christ and caught up in strict religious rules. Pastor Jerry showed how important it is to understand our brokenness to fully appreciate the grace God offers. He reminded us that sharing ou...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Emmanuel invites us to explore the worth of our faith as he challenges our understanding of success and sacrifice. As we continue our journey through the Book of Acts, we witness Paul's extraordinary resolve in prison — a man willing to endure humiliation and chains for the sake of sharing the Gospel! Pastor Emmanuel reminds us that our true success isn't me...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor David continued our ACTS: Whatever It Takes series with chapter 25, where Paul once again faced false accusations and political pressure. At first glance, it felt like a repeat of the chapter before—but David showed us why it's worth slowing down and really studying the text. We were reminded that when we understand the history, culture, and context of Sc...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor David shared a meaningful (and super relatable) Father’s Day message yesterday about what it looks like to be a dad—biologically  and  spiritually. He walked through Ephesians 5 & 6, Exodus 18:17-24, and 1 Kings 19:19-21 showing us how to live with wisdom, lean on mentors, and become one for others. Even if you’re not a dad, this message is for anyone trying to...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor Jerry walked us through Acts 24, where Paul stood trial in an incredibly unfair situation—but still trusted that God was at work. Even while locked up, Paul didn’t waste the moment—he shared his faith with people in power like Felix and Drusilla. We were reminded that following Jesus isn’t just about showing up to church—it’s about living a life that actu...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In yesterday’s message, Pastor Jerry used Paul’s story to remind us that God is with us even in the seemingly random moments of life. A conversation of wannabe assassins just happened to be overheard by Paul’s nephew, saving Paul’s life. He was then shipped off to a 2 year prison stay, but it was in Herod’s palace where he could continue to share Christ. Even when we can’t...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry talks about the importance of sharing our personal stories of faith, like Paul in the Book of Acts, who boldly shared his testimony even in the face of violence and adversity. We all know that life can be unfair, even when we're trying to live faithfully, but Pastor Jerry encourages us to trust in God's truth, especially during difficult times. As a ch...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || As we celebrate our graduating seniors, Pastor David emphasizes how important it is for us to reflect God’s love in the ways we live and serve. He compares the prideful attitude of a Pharisee to the humble devotion of a sinful woman who showed deep love for Jesus, which tells us that true surrender moves us to serve, even when it's not convenient. How is God calling yo...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Rachel's Mother's Day message expresses deep gratitude for the impact that spiritual mothers have in our lives. In this message, we learn about the God-given nature of motherhood and the how important the calling of motherhood truly is. In looking at Moses' mother, we see the importance of spiritual motherhood and the significant impact it has on future generat...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Michael shares his journey from rural Tennessee to the heart of Detroit, where he serves as a missionary. He reminded us of the power that our personal stories hold in sharing the gospel. Just like Paul in the book of Acts, we all have a story that includes who we were before Jesus, how we met Him, and who we are now. Michael emphasizes that our stories are not just...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In yesterday's message, Pastor Jerry reminded us that the human need for approval is deep, but God's approval must be our ultimate aim. He walked us through Paul's painful rejection in Jerusalem, showing how Paul remained faithful despite misunderstanding and betrayal. Pastor Jerry emphasized that Paul’s imprisonment led to some of the greatest growth in the ea...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry’s Easter message dives into why the resurrection of Jesus is such a big deal — it’s the foundation of our faith! He talks about the confusion and heartbreak Jesus’ followers felt after the crucifixion, and how Jesus didn’t give up on them, even when they were ready to walk away. It’s a reminder that no matter where we’ve been or what we’ve done, hope and redem...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || As we approach Easter Sunday, it’s important to reflect on what brought Jesus to the cross in the first place. As Pastor Jerry reminded us on Sunday, even as far back as Genesis 15, God made a covenant with Abraham that He would be faithful to him and his descendants. We broke the covenant through our sin time and time again, and yet, God still held up his end of the barga...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Emmanuel talks about the importance of obedience to God's calling, even when it involves discomfort. We see this in Acts 21, where Paul is warned by the Holy Spirit through prophecy that he will face imprisonment in Jerusalem. Despite the warning, Paul chooses to continue his journey, demonstrating his trust in God and commitment to his calling. Through conversa...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || As Pastor Jerry led us through Acts 20:32-38, he focused on the importance of living with open hands and generous hearts. God's grace is the foundation for a life of humility, gratitude, and selflessness towards others. Using Paul as an example, Pastor Jerry highlighted the value of working hard while also caring for the weak and vulnerable. He reminded us that generos...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Rachel emphasizes the importance of being proactive in our faith by activating our relationship with Jesus and doing the hard inner work required to stand strong against spiritual challenges. She reflects on the early church's commitment to the gospel and encourages us to adopt a "whatever it takes" mindset, even when faced with difficulties. Through the mess...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE ||Yesterday, Pastor David's message encouraged us to take time to shut off the noise of the world. When there's too much going on around us, it can be difficult to hear God's voice. Because of our Acts reading yesterday, we know that Paul took solitary time to be in tune with what God was saying. God's voice in his life helped him know where to go and who to m...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In Pastor Jerry’s message, he highlights the significance of the early church's impact on Ephesus, where Paul's teachings challenged the worship of idols. We're reminded that true transformation occurs not just through words, but through how believers live out the love of Jesus, reflecting it in their actions. He warns against idolatry — putting anything created by God in...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday morning, Pastor Emmanuel explained the dangers of using spiritual gifts for selfish ambitions, as shown by the seven sons of Sceva. While Paul experiences the miraculous power of God, the seven sons try to leverage the name of Jesus for their own gain, only to be humiliated and hurt by a demon. Through this message, we learned that true spiritual authority comes...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry’s message emphasized the importance of investing in others for God’s glory, using Apollos as an example. Though a gifted teacher, Apollos lacked full understanding of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Priscilla and Aquila, having been mentored by Paul, graciously helped him grow in his faith. Pastor Jerry encourages us to mentor others, noting that our grea...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday morning, Pastor Emmanuel walked us through Acts 18:12-23. He talked about how we can hear God’s voice during overwhelming times. Life can often feel chaotic, making it hard to discern God’s guidance. Drawing from Paul’s experience, Pastor Emmanuel gave us several practical ways to seek God's voice during the "white noise" of our everyday life. The message encoura...

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Pastor Jerry walked us through Acts 18, where Paul faced both opposition and breakthrough in Corinth. We saw how Paul didn’t give up when things got hard — he trusted God’s presence, protection, and promises to keep moving forward. This was all so people close to him could encounter Jesus! Pastor Jerry reminded us that our mission field starts the moment we step outside th...
