God made a difference in Paul so that He could make a difference in the lives of others. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to empower us to live a spirit-filled life, not for self-gratification but to bring others closer to faith.

Imagine what would happen if each one of us found one other person in your lives and said the words, “ICNU” to them? And then you began investing in them and doing life together, teaching them what God is teaching you, serving together side by side. Could it be that God is just waiting for you to speak words of encouragement into them so that He could unleash their God given potential and begin us...

Do you have any prejudices or preferences that are affecting God's purpose for your life? Do you have any prejudices that are keeping you from reaching out to people whether it's political or skin tone, or religious or education, or income level, special needs, maybe people that you're not reaching out to because they're different than you and you don't understand that? Maybe it's not just time to...

You're not too far gone for God's grace... In Acts 9, we see too people (Saul & Ananias) on two different pages of faith. Some of us feel too far gone in this life for God to reach us and turn around things in our lives that we've done. And some of us have people in our lives that God has put there on purpose...to love, reach, & share the Good News that we have already as believers. Either way, th...

Have you ever been in one of those situations where you think that you're in a place for one reason, but God has you there for a completely different reason? God has a funny way of using us in the times and situations where we least expect it. We call these divine appointments. Listen in as we learn how we can make a difference if we did what it says in James “Don't just listen to the word. Do wha...

Partnership with God always means partnership with His people.... God brings good people around us to help bring out the best in us. This is by design. This is the way God meant for us to thrive … and not just survive. We were meant for partnership.

God uses our gifts to change our world but He also changes us as we give... We're not just changing lives and meeting needs, but we're also saying thank you when we give it's like “God, you've given us so much. Thank you. Here's some back.” The question is, are we giving? Like it's all God's? Or are we gripping? Like it's all ours? There's a big difference.

There’s no bottom that you can hit that Jesus won’t restore and redeem you.... Guest speaker Jon Tisevich joins us in week four of our Ghost Stories series to remind us that with God, things can change. There isn't anything we can do to make God love us less and even in the darkest of places, God will meet us there and bring us back to Him.

“We have been partners in spreading the Good News of Jesus.” This is what we are going after. We want to make people alive again through Jesus just like he has done in us. We want everyone to come alive in Jesus. So who are the people close to you but far from God? We are a fellowship on purpose built around people coming alive in Jesus.

We want to feel good about ourselves. We we want to go to church and just get a little pick me up. “Just tell me God love me and send me on my way...." If we're just encouraged all the time we may never change. We need to be convicted because there's things in our lives where we are not in step with God’s best for us.

If we're going to be people of faith...we've got to wait. We've got to pray. We've got to ask, we got to depend, we got to trust, not in ourselves but in the gift that God promised in the one that He's given us the Holy Spirit.

Jesus says, "It’s not about time. It's about priorities in your life.” If it's Jesus, then you're simply going to find a way to serve and to live this life that he's called you to. He set the example. He's called us to follow. If the God of the universe can get down on his knees and wash my feet I will figure out a way that I can serve somebody else. I'll get out there and pick up the towel and do...

How prepared do you feel?... We never know the time or the place where we get to share the News about Jesus. There are moments in our lives where we could be the hope for those looking for purpose and meaning. How we prepare our story of faith and journey with God matters because it greatly impacts those who are searching around us.

Idols want to take our life... They can never give us anything. They can only take from us but Jesus the true God gave us his life. While idols want to take, Jesus came to give. While idols threaten to enslave us, Jesus promises to free us and in him is life and love and peace and joy and freedom and truth. He is everything we're looking for and everything we need, why are we still looking? Why ar...

What if marriage and singleness aren't about a relationship 'status' and more about who & what we are becoming?... In week 3 of our "Let's Be Real" series, Todd & Kate both talk about different views of marriage and singleness. We dive into the meaning, purpose, and design of each and how we can be authentic in all of our relationships.

It takes community to make a church.... We are the called out ones who assemble ourselves together under Jesus's leadership, to fulfill Jesus's mission, for Jesus's glory. It’s who we are. It's what we do.

Jesus calls us into a real relationship with Him.... Many of us settle instead for a stale and complicated system of rule-keeping and religious “Churchianity.” But God has and wants a much more personal connection with us.

Even if you've given up on God, He hasn't given up on you.... God loves you too much to let you go your own way. He was crucified for you. He conquered the grave for you. And he's coming back for you.

If Pilate were on trial before Jesus. How would that conversation go?... Jesus didn’t play the power-hungry, status-quo-keeping games. He let them fight it out while he invested his little life. He chose to suffer with us through messy compassion, he took responsibility for things that weren’t remotely his problem, and he sacrificed so much of what he could have had—romance, income, popularity, an...

What if the man that betrayed Jesus could teach us something? We are all like Judas. It is often hard to remain patient with Jesus. Because what if the greatest sin that Judas struggled with wasn’t greed … but impatience? There were a lot of unwanted thoughts and voice in the mind of Judas that he needed to leave behind. Holding onto unhealthy things in his life led him to do some crazy things and...

Failure often causes us to get stuck but Jesus offers us victory in our weaknesses... Peter is a guy whose mouth runs faster than his brain. He’s a do first, ask questions later kind of person and he has made his fair share of mistakes. But none of this fazes Jesus because He loves us. Nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable - absolutely...

Fight like Mary... In the fourth week of the 'Choose Your Fighter' Series, Lead Pastor Matt Mehaffey talks about how choosing to fight like Mary will allow us to be fully present with Jesus. And being present means we can be fully honest with Jesus about our weaknesses which allows us to grow and trust God more and more.

Our battle isn’t against people... In the third week of the 'Choose Your Fighter' Series, Lead Pastor Matt Mehaffey talks about how our battles are against the enemy and his demons of darkness who are at war with God and His people.

Jesus successfully battles the enemy using the Word of God. In the second week of our Choose Your Fighter Series, Lead Pastor Matt Mehaffey talks about how immediately after Jesus’ baptism the Holy Spirit led Jesus to wilderness for solitude and a complete fast for 40 days and nights. Satan chooses to come at Jesus at his weakest point to tempt him to derail the mission God has sent him on.

Jesus' kingdom purpose & gospel is for everyone. No matter your social status or what you have done throughout this life...Jesus loves you no matter what.
