What if the solution to deep Joy - was the complete opposite of what you thought? When we have been formed in culture, it is hard for us to be able to grasp the counterintuitive upside down way of the kingdom. These Kingdom principles however always produce the fruit of the Spirit as God is worth trusting!

We kick off our new series called built to last, where we are exploring Pauls letter to the church in Philippi. Paul's concern for the Philippians compels him to send encouragement and to build them up as the continue onward in their faith. One of the first things that needs to happen is to shift their perspective. When you are overwhelmed or feel like you can't see the road ahead, step back and s...

After a slightly different morning of extended worship and ministry time, Pastor Matt unpacks the importance of being open to the Spirit of God, and the ministry that He wants to do.

Discipleship is more than a simple mentorship, it is a whole life response to Jesus invitation to be with him, become like him, and do the stuff.

Culture is more than a buzzword - culture is how you show up to outworking vision.
