Be honest: when's the last time your faith actually changed how you spent your money? Not what you believe about money—what you do with it. This week, Pastor Peter gets real about the love of money, the lie that you actually own anything, and why generosity might be the most spiritual thing you do all year.

The Bible is the Word of God, but we don’t always read it as often or as diligently as we should. But what if we read with expectation, knowing that the Word of God is practical and will come alive for us?

Are you tired, or is your soul tired? So many of us want God to speak to us, heal us, restore us, and minister to the deepest places of our lives. But we are moving so fast that we never give Him the space to do it. Tune in to Pastor Peter’s sermon about why Sabbath matters and why your soul may be craving rest more than you realize.

Is the secret to a great marriage really about finding your soulmate? What if that belief is actually setting many couples up for disappointment and dysfunction? In this message, Pastor Peter challenges one of the most common assumptions about marriage and shares a biblical vision for building a healthy, thriving relationship. Listen in and discover how God’s design for marriage is far deeper and...

Dating is a grind. Singleness can be really hard, especially when we’re constantly barraged with the stories of what feels like everyone else moving on with their families. Let’s look at how singleness and dating can be beautiful as well as honoring to God.

Work takes up so much of our lives. For many of us, it can even become the place where we find our identity, purpose, and worth. But what does God think about work? If God created us to work, then work must be more than just a paycheck, a title, or a way to survive. What if work is part of God’s original design for our lives? Listen in as Pastor Peter unpacks why God created us to work and what ou...

In K-Pop Demon Hunters, the demonic Saja Boys perform "Soda Pop," - a fun and catchy pop-tune. Underneath however, it tells a deeper story about influence, control, and the subtle ways our hearts can be lured into wanting the very things set to destroy us. Sin doesn’t always come loudly - it more often comes attractively. It whispers the lie that there isn’t enough for you, and that you have to ta...

Are you holding on to a hope that looks comforting but cannot actually sustain you? In this message, Pastor Peter and Sanetta use K-POP Demon Hunters to explore the difference between false hope and the true hope of God. So often, we search for peace, security, and fulfillment in places that can never truly satisfy. But God offers a hope that invites us out of hiding and into the light. Watch this...

In our society, the stranger is often unwelcome and treated like an “it” instead of a person made in the image of God. Listen in as Pastor Peter shares a timely and challenging word about God’s heart for the stranger and how we are called to reflect that heart to those who are on the margins.

As we continue our series on Welcoming the Stranger, we’ve been sitting with the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11- 32, a story that invites us to see the heart of God not just as one who welcomes us home, but one who calls us to extend that same welcome to others. Join us this Sunday!

There is a lot of debate about immigration but, as Christians, we don’t look to political pundits, social media influencers or even elected officials. Like everything else, we look to God’s word. How might God’s word guide us as we consider how to receive the immigrants in our community? Join us this Sunday as we explore the Scriptural position on immigration!

Spiritual discernment is more important than ever. Nowadays, the world has grown incredibly sophisticated in targeting our specific, individual appetites. Between social media algorithms, cultural noise, influencer podcasts, and smooth-talk preaching and prophecy, it's easier than ever to let our desires, feelings and thoughts drown out God. To walk the safe road of salvation, we must learn to dis...

We’re living in a time when division feels normal. Everywhere we turn, it’s an “us vs. them” mentality and sadly, Christians in this country have contributed to that climate more than we want to admit. Too often, the world knows the church primarily for what we oppose, what we criticize, or who we exclude. But when you read the life of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, you see a different po...

Hope is something we all long for, but we often shrink it down to something personal: • I hope I get the job. • I hope I get married. • I hope I read the Bible this year. But when hope is only about me, it rarely lasts. Real hope grows when it becomes a community affair. Tune in to Pastor Peter’s sermon and discover how accepting and walking with others is one of God’s primary ways of raising hope...

We have a special guest this week! Ps. Preston Thompson of Ebenezer Baptist will be bringing a powerful word to Metro. How do we find joy in today's chaotic cultural landscape? In Romans 15:1-6, the Apostle Paul has some potent instructions for cultivating spiritual joy, even amidst difficult and turbulent circumstances. You do not want to miss it! Join us at 9:30am or 11:30am.

This week, we continue our journey through Romans as Paul speaks directly to division in the church—and invites us into a better way. In Romans 14, Paul calls the Christian community to lay down judgment and choose love for the sake of unity. He reminds us that while we may feel confident in what we know to be right, being right is not the same thing as being righteous. Our calling is not to win a...

Let’s be real! None of us likes being judged. Even so, it's all too easy to fall into the sin of judging others. This has a detrimental impact not only on the Church, but even upon our own spirituality. Tune in to Pastor Peter’s sermon to learn why a judgmental spirit doesn’t just affect others; it slowly becomes a cancer to our own souls as well.

The term “Stay Woke” has taken on political connotations in the last 5 years or so. It has become associated with progressive or left-leaning politics. But as it relates to our faith journeys, to stay awake or to stay woke is to stay alert as we await the return of Christ. It challenges us to consider our life in light of Christ’s return. How are we living? Are we still asleep in darkness or have...
