Pastor Brian’s message from yesterday centered on the importance of seeking God’s presence and being willing to separate from distractions in order to fully pursue Him.

Pastor Brian pointed out that ma...

Pastor Tony's message emphasized that before Jesus gave us the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20), He first gave us the Great Commandment (Matthew 22:36-40), making love the foundation for our mission. We cannot effectively make disciples if we do not first love God with all our heart, soul, and mind and love our neighbors as ourselves—even when they are difficult to love. Love is not just a feel...

As Yahweh, God reveals His personal an...

As we conclude our series ‘Matters of The Heart’ and enter into Thanksgiving week, Pastor Jason reminds us of the importance of gratitude. For most believers, it’s “easy” to thank God after we experience a victory, but what about thanking God before the victory? Now that can be challenging, even more so thanking God and extending gratitude towards the Father during the battle can be even more of a...

We must ask the Holy Spirit to reveal our hurts so that we can release them to God and refocus o...
