God has set a table just for you and He longs to sit with you. You can bring anything to God and He will love you the same.  The world will try to convince you of all the things that you need but God has already laid everything at the table. Like it or not, your kids will model their relationship with God based on their relationship with you, so let's learn from Dr. Conway Edwards how to lead them...

Who has your kids’ attention? Are you connecting with them or does culture have their ear? Parenting today can be extremely challenging in a fast-paced, technology-driven culture where building character & healthy emotional relationships can be compromised. Pastor Conway teaches us how to model healthy qualities and fruits of the spirit in our relationships.

Have you ever asked God why? If so, you're in good company - even Jesus questioned God in the midst of His test. Sometimes God will allow hardships in our lives in order to test our faith in HIM! It's easy to trust God when life is good and the blessings are flowing abundantly, but what happens when you lose something or someone that you love? We must learn to hold what we love with open hands.  G...

Is anger good or bad? The answer is YES. The truth is it depends on how we deal with those whose offend us. Jesus likens  unrighteous, uncontrolled anger to murder, as it can be so destructive that it kills everything in its wake. It is in times like these, we must ask ourselves #WWJD - What would Jesus do? God's word tell us to be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.  Pastor Bryan Lori...

Everyone has doubts about things, some doubt their abilities, while some doubt their intelligence, but what happens when we doubt God? When we doubt God, we always think that our doubts mean we don’t truly have faith. The truth is, in order for you to even have doubts about God, you have to have faith to doubt to begin with. When we begin to doubt God, we might start feeling like we aren’t true Ch...

Sometimes we are going through a testing moment, and because we sometimes struggle to get through it, we slowly lose faith and believe that God isn’t there to comfort us. The truth is God is always here, and us thinking he’s not is just us being fearful and discouraged. God has plans for everyone and will test everyone; it’s our job to remain courageous and trust in God as he guides us through the...

Many of us believe that we have to be extraordinarily gifted in order to serve God. But, time and time again, scripture has proven that not only can He use the ordinary person, but that those are the EXACT people He wants to use! As our sermon series, Timeless, continues, Pastor Zairreus brings us a powerful reminder message that we should be asking God how we can become usable in His kingdom.

Sometimes walking into victory will require us to go through uncomfortable situations. The truth is that even when we feel invisible, God sees and hears us. Even in our discomfort, He is always working, shifting our plans to align with what He has for us. Dr. E. Dewey Smith delivers a timely message explaining how God leads us to live the life He has planned for us.

When we allow what we have been through and what we come from to influence us, we struggle to understand our assignment in life. We believe that our age decides what we should live for and what is right for us, and that results in us living an unfulfilled life because we didn’t accomplish what we were called for. God is here to guide us to our destiny as long as we are humble. God has a purpose fo...

Most of us are battling to survive the day– we just want to feel safe, for once but we cynically think “I’m just trying to keep my head above water.” There’s a way to experience true safety right in the midst of turmoil. Join us as Dr. Conway Edwards teaches us how to discover melody in the mess of this world, so we can move from surviving to thriving. When you’re no longer in survival mode, God c...

Have you been in a broken season? Struggling to continue forward? If so, we invite you to listen to this sermon as we talk about how much of a provider and healer our God is. It’s easy to trust God when we are on top of the mountain and everything is going our way. However, the valley is where we truly learn the power of God and experience his ability to heal the hurt and strengthen the weak. The...

What do you do when life gets tough and you find yourself going through a dry situation? In our desperation, we are often tempted to cling to something other than God's word in hopes of making it through. But it is only through His word that we have the ability to speak life into our "dry bones," rattle them together, and make them dance. When the dry bones in our lives start rising up, we need Go...

Don’t be afraid to go through the valley. Can you accomplish your vision on your own? If so, your vision isn’t big enough. Dr. Conway challenges us, in our current sermon series, “Rattled.” There are many of us that need to dream again in partnership with God. Everything you do today matters! 

What "giants" are you facing? In this life, it is inevitable that we will face trials, trouble, and tests. It is how we choose to handle those tests that determines how God can use them. Whatever giants you're facing today, just know that they're not for you alone, but for everyone connected to you for generations to come. Dr. Conway Edwards kicks off our new series, "Rattled", reminding us that t...

Have you ever felt disconnected? We have all had those moments when we have done everything in our power to improve a situation, but still end up feeling power-less.

All we have to do is connect to the sourc...

Are you diluting or tarnishing the righteousness of God in your life with sin you don’t want to let go of?  Dr. Conway breaks down to us how we may be neglecting the full armor of God. In this thought-provoking series, Diluting Jesus, we are asking ourselves, "Are you managing the bad garbage instead of taking it out of your life? Are you spraying it down with smell-goods to mask the unpleasant sm...

In the age of Babylon we are living in, we think luck or happenstance is driving our life, when really it’s the hand of God. Often wanting to know what our destiny holds, we seek answers in all the wrong places. Today Dr. Conway, continues our series on, Diluting Jesus. He reminds us that Jesus is in full control at all times, and nothing happens by mistake. You don’t have to know the end before y...

Our worship will never be loud enough to make God ignore how bad our relationships are. He has called us to apply the same forgiveness with others that He freely gives to us daily. Pastor Eric Alexander stopped by to remind us of the dangers of discarding the value of relationships with people just because they have been damaged... we're diluting Jesus with our own arrogance! We must deal with the...

Is just God alone enough for me?! Are we living according to our gospel or The Gospel?! These are some of the questions we are being challenged with as we deep dive into this new sermon series, Diluting Jesus. Dr. Conway admonishes us to know that all we need is Jesus. Not to settle with Jesus just being our side piece or accessory.

On this Easter Sunday, we take a look at our perspective on the Easter story as we’ve always known it. This message brings to light how often we let what we’ve never experienced dim our expectation of hope.  As Dr. Conway delivers this hope-filled message, we are challenged to reframe our thinking about this glorious day into a life-giving paradigm of  celebration. The fact is that the tomb was em...

Join us as he walks us through God's original...
