Great message about believe and trusting the promises of God in your life.

Easter’s empty tomb launched an ongoing mission that runs on two inseparable fuels: Spirit-given power and Spirit-driven prayer.  Acts 1:8 promises the Church supernatural power for everyday witness; Acts 4 shows that when opposition hits, believers don’t retreat—they gather, pray, ask for boldness, and the Spirit shakes the room and sends them out again.  The same pattern belongs at our kitchen t...

You know the feeling you get when you're tired, driving home late at night, ready to be there and you see the porch light on? It's like it's beckoning you. It says, "Welcome, you belong here. You were expected." That's what our hospitality should communicate to our neighbors. It should say, "There's always room at God's table. Always a light on at God's h...

This Mother's Day, let's remember that the most powerful ministry happens not on stages or in spotlights, but in living rooms and kitchens where ordinary people do ordinary things in Jesus' extraordinary name. Tomorrow, as you're facing a sink full of dishes or a mountain of laundry, whisper to yourself, "This too is done in Jesus' name." When you're driving to an...

Bring Jesus to work, He's already on the clock. He's already present in your workplace, already at work in the hearts and lives of your coworkers. You simply get to join Him in that work, representing Him well through your hands, your words, and your presence. When we see our workplace as sacred space, our perspective shifts—our desk becomes an altar, our meetings become ministry, and our...

Here's the question that echoes out of the empty tomb…will Easter still be obvious tomorrow? — The crowds shouted “He is risen!” but it was the fledgling church that sold fields, opened homes, bandaged wounds, and made the resurrection believable to their neighbors. — Corrie ten Boom whispered “Jesus is Lord,” then built a hiding place that proved it. — James tells us, “Show me.” Faith that ne...

The resurrection is the ultimate good news. Because of it, the cross wasn’t a defeat—it was the turning point. The sacrifice wasn’t wasted—it was complete. And our future isn’t uncertain—it is alive with the promise of Jesus Christ. So today, we cry out not just “He is risen” but “He is Lord.” Because of Easter, death has lost. Sin has been crushed. And we are invited into the life of the risen Ki...

Palm Sunday is a day of celebration, but also of tension. The crowd hails Jesus as King, but in only a few days He will be crucified. They wanted rescue from Rome; He was offering rescue from sin. This is the Gospel: Jesus saves us in ways deeper than we imagine. Today, let's cry "Hosanna! Lord, save us from the bondage of sin. Be our King." During this Holy Week, will you engage dee...

When Jesus calls Levi and feasts with the outsiders, he declares His mission is to save sinners. Jesus' table fellowship with them is a demonstration of the inclusive heart of His Kingdom. He welcomes sinners, not to affirm sin, but to transform lives. The cross is woven into this as he's heading toward the ultimate sacrifice, he's carrying love for every outcast. Lent reminds us to do...

Isaiah 53 and the image of Jesus as the Suffering Servant goes straight to the core of our Gospel theme. This prophecy highlights why the Good News is truly "good." The cross is so much more than a historical event, it's the Divine plan in action. Something that was prophesied centuries before, where Jesus takes on our sins and offers us forgiveness and new life. In other words, Jesu...

This season of Lent calls us to a season of reflection and repentance. It seems this is a continuing theme as we journey through this year of the Gospel. And we can't forget that repentance isn't about shame, it's an invitation to a deeper walk with Christ. As we journey towards the cross, will you take a moment and reflect on something you want or need to surrender? We need hearts for...

Great message about the kingdom of God.

Pastor Angel on a great message.

There is a tension to be maintained. We deny ourselves and carry our crosses, but we gain immeasurable treasure—fellowship with God, eternal life, and a life of purpose. Let's reflect on one area God is asking us for deeper surrender. Then let's embrace that cost and trust in the goodness of our God. God, help us find joy in sacrifices we make for Christ's sake and to rest in your unsh...

Inviting others into the Kingdom isn't about pushing religion; it's about extending the best invitation anyone can receive…life with Jesus! We do it prayerfully, lovingly, and relationally, trusting the Holy Spirit to draw hearts. My prayer for our church is that the Holy Spirit would fill each one of us with boldness, compassion, and wisdom. I'm also praying for divine appointments an...

“Life Together,” as Bonhoeffer describes, is both deeply spiritual and profoundly practical. When we devote ourselves to fellowship in Christ, we naturally care for one another, embodying God’s heart for justice and mercy. The early church's commitment to God and each other created a culture of selfless mercy and radical unity — a taste of God's Kingdom on earth. As we seek the Kingdom fir...

Repentance and belief are not heavy burdens; they’re invitations into a life freed from guilt and empowered by God’s Spirit. The more we practice this turning and trusting, the more we reflect the Kingdom we’ve been talking about. "The Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent and believe the gospel!" This good news is as relevant today as it was 2,000 years ago. Will you let God reshape your mi...

Message from Missionary Terrance

Jesus doesn't simply say "don't worry, be happy…" Jesus redefines our priorities. Quit being torn in two, quite literally. Don't stress about lesser things, which pull your attention away from God's Kingdom. Trust your heavenly Father and He will care for your needs. What we learn on Sunday should be more than hypothetical, it should become our lived reality. Oh Holy Spir...

Today I want to invite you to participate in the freedom, healing, and favor that Jesus proclaimed were available in His Kingdom. Will you co-labor with Him? Throughout this series we're going to look at the Kingdom themes of Justice, mercy, repentance, etc. and how to practically invite others to church. My challenge to you is will you pray about at least one friend, neighbor, etc. who you ca...

Message from Pastor Mark Ramsey

Every year, I like to take a look back at what we have gone through as a church and then turn our sights towards the future. I think it’s necessary to do that because as we go through something, we aren’t as aware of any changes that might be going on. Today, I want to take a look back over the last year and remember where we have been and how much God has moved us in 2024. I also want to take a p...

The greatest "new thing" God ever did was wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Think about it - when God chose to enter our world in an unprecedented way, He didn't repeat the dramatic signs of Exodus. He didn't part waters or send plagues. Instead, He worked quietly, through an unwed mother, in an unremarkable town, during an inconvenient census. And most people missed it. Today we'...
