Do Not Be Afraid! 🙌 This past Sunday, Pastor Colt preached a sermon titled “Overcoming Fear and Disappointment.” He led us to understand that while fear may plague the human heart, yet blood of Jesus is fully able to fully overcome it. ❤️ Pastor Colt further explained the effects that fear can have on us, by looking at the different ways King David responded to fear in his life:  1. Fear Can Cons...

This past Sunday, Pastors Bill and Tammie shared a message about what leadership looks like in the kingdom of God. ✝️ This message was timely for our community because we had gathered together to honor certain members of our community for a special Ordination Service.  The message was out of John 13, a scene in which Jesus is seen washing His disciple’s feet.  Bill helped us to understand that Jes...

His Presence Changes Everything 🕊️ Last Sunday, Pastor Rich encouraged us to enter into God’s presence with fear and confidence. 🙌 We were reminded of the biblical principles that secure us in our access to God.  “But now in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬ ✝️ Just as the blood of Christ assures us, so do the pro...

There is One Seated on the Throne! 🙌 This past Sunday, Pastor Colt taught us out of Isaiah 6. ✝️ In this text, the prophet Isaiah receives a vision of God in a time of great trial and testing for the nation of Israel.  “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Pastor Colt taug...

Believe and Receive as Favor Follows ❤️  Last Sunday, Pastor Bill taught us about the balance of faith and grace by pointing us back to the root of our salvation.  “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith.” Ephesians 2:8  Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward us. It enables us to live in righteousness, free from the power of sin and death.  Thankfully, God has made this grace availab...

A People of His Presence ❤️ This past Sunday, Pastor Rich preached a message on what it looks like to live a life centered around the presence of God.  He encouraged us in our desires for presence-centered lives, acknowledging that God's desire for this is greater.  He reminded us of the account of Moses, who refused to enter into the Promised Land if the Lord's presence didn't go with him.   He i...

God's Heart is to Heal All Trauma ❤️ Last Sunday, guest speaker Dr. Mike Hutchings spoke of the healing of God being made available for those who suffer from PTSD and trauma. His insights from over 35 years of pastoral experience enlightened us to the truth that the quality of our lives does not have to be determined or defined by our past wounds. Instead, our lives are to defined by Jesus who suf...

The Wonder & Joy of Salvation! Last Sunday, Pastor Colt encouraged us to perceive the wonders and joy in our salvation.  We understood that the state of the Christian who remains aware of Jesus’ past, present, and future works is one of lasting wonder and eternal joy. Pastor Colt also equipped us with 4 strategies to help us endure in this posture: 1. Know where God’s brought you from.   2. Kn...

The King of Glory is Coming In! Last Sunday, Pastor Julianna preached on Psalm 24.  This psalm speaks of the character of those who can ascend the hill of the LORD, the place where His presence dwells and where we can enjoy fellowship with Him. The one who has clean hands and pure hearts, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god (Psalm 24:4). Juliana taught us that this is a character...

Let us Doubt our Doubts! 🔥 Last Sunday, Pastor Bill encouraged us to overcome the hindrances we face in receiving healing. One of them is doubt. Doubt often occupies the same space as our faith, making it difficult to truly grasp the fullness of God’s blessings. Bill reminded us that prayer and fasting are the most effective ways to overcome doubt. This is precisely what Jesus told the disciples...

There is Healing at The Table ❤️  Last Sunday, Pastor Rich taught us out of Isaiah 53 and Matthew 8. As He connected these scriptures, we understood that just as forgiveness of our sins in the atonement, there is also a component of healing made available to us. There is forgiveness because the blood of Jesus was shed to remove the effects of sin, allowing repentant sinners to be reconciled to God...

“You are the salt of the earth!” 🧂🔥 This past Sunday, Lachlan Warrell preached a message that defined our true purpose on this Earth:  “To be holy, as God is holy.” A picture of biblical holiness is found in the Beatitudes of Matthew 5. In this scripture, Christ approves of those whose heart posture is pure and peaceful; whose deepest desire is righteousness.  When we commit ourselves to abide b...

Have faith in God. ❤️ Last Sunday, Pastor Bill strengthened us to truly believe in the promise of healing that Jesus’ salvation brings.  The Greek word used in the scriptures for salvation is sozo. It means “saved, healed, delivered.” With this in mind, we can understand that our faith in Christ has worked to do more than save us from the wages of sin.  Indeed, it has brought us promises of healin...

This past Sunday, Pastor Colt Emswiler shared a message about the Book of Psalms.   He taught us that the songs in this book (which vary in theme and category) are meant to serve as an access point to the presence of God. As we pray, sing, and meditate on them we will inevitably be led into the presence of God, because they are inspired by Him.  He encouraged us to pray the Psalms as we realized t...

Our God is provoked by remembrance ❤️ It was a blessing to have our sister Dehavilland join us this past Sunday. She preached about the memorial stones that Elijah used to build an altar for the Lord in 1 Kings 18. These stones were stones of remembrance, raised to encourage the coming generations as a reminder of God's previous faithfulness. We are thankful that this was the altar that the fire o...

God can do a lot with a little!  We’re so thankful to have had our brother Teo Hayashi join us this past week. We were empowered to contend for a greater move of God in NYC as we’ve seen in Brazil!  Teo unpacked the story of the widow who begged Elisha for help in 2 Kings 4. He encouraged us to approach God in faith, and to bring the “little” we have to the Lord.  In our weakness, God will prove H...

Are you thirsty? Come and drink!⛲️ This past Sunday, our brother Keith reminded us that we are not meant just to survive but to live the life Jesus provides through His Spirit.  Keith challenged us to not put our hope in in possessions, achievements, appearances, or experiences, but always in Christ! If you are thirsty, there is an opportunity for you to experience true life in Him. ❤️ Listen in...

The presence of the Lord is present to heal. ❤️ This past Sunday, Pastor Rich taught us that while our faith is important to receive our healing, it's the destination of His presence that is paramount. When it comes to receiving healing it's not just about our faith, but about WHO we put our faith in: Jesus, The Healer. May our desires for healing always produce a faith that leads us to His presen...

There's power in prayer 🙏 This past Sunday, Colt shared from 1 Timothy Chapter 2 on the importance of prayer in our lives and how we are to pray.  He shared how prayer isn't just about praying for things we want but for praying to know God and understand what's on His heart. Through intercession, thanksgiving, and petition we can come to a deeper place of knowing Him and His ways.  Get a vision f...

Let God define you ✝️ This past Sunday, Pastor Colt shared how we need God's Word and His Spirit to define our identity and tell us who we are in Christ.  He challenged us not to let culture sway our opinions and beliefs from what the Word of God says about who we are and who He created us to be–His children, set apart for His purposes. ❤️ Your friends, coworkers, or culture didn't create you. God...

Jesus came to reveal the Father. ✝️ Pastor Bill shared this past Sunday how knowing God as the Father changes us. He taught how Fatherhood reveals identity, assures us of our heavenly home, and provides proper motivation for service. Through Jesus' blood, we now have full access to the Father. ❤️ When we know that we're sons and daughters to a Good Father in heaven, we can be secure in who God say...

God loves Israel ❤️ This past Sunday Frank Mason spoke on God's heart for Israel. Frank explained how the Biblical storyline between God and Israel is essential for the church to understand.

T...

Be filled 🕊 This past Sunday, Pastor Rich shared the importance of being continually filled by the Holy Spirit to live rightly and move in power (Ephesians 5:18).  Without the power of the Holy Spirit, we can't fulfill the calling on our lives and bring the Kingdom of God to earth.  We need fresh infillings of the Holy Spirit.
