“We are not naive optimists or despairing pessimists, but hope-filled realists. We know we will struggle and we are confident that God will overcome.” Pastor Ben Stuart wraps up our series Rise Up, as we see how the book of Nehemiah ends.

“We are meant to be people of the Word.”  Pastor Ben teaches on the importance of the word of God in reviving a nation. We are meant to hear, understand, and then be changed by the Word of God.

“Humility is birthed at the foot of the cross." — In the second week of our series ANCHOR, Pastor Ben Stuart brings a timely and important message about the radical grace of God. We are not only reconciled with God through the cross; the cross also restores relationships with each other. The gospel is not worth preaching if it does not have the power to break down the wall dividing ethnic groups....

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 This is a powerful statement from someone who understood what mattered most to God, and therefore what should matter most to us. But it’s hard, it’s difficult to wrap our minds why we have to decrease, and what that really means. Pastor Brad Jones kicks off a new series, ANCHOR, with a look at the life of John the Baptist, and what we can learn fr...

Almost nothing is guaranteed, except for two things: Life is Hard. God is Good. That’s it; those are the two guarantees we’re walking away with today. The first one, life is hard, no one ever really had to teach us. The second one is a whole different story. God is good… all the time. So what happens when that truth faces off against real life? What happens when we are confronted with the truth th...

How we handle hardship could be the heroic thing inside of all of us. Just look at the life of King David: David was anointed by God as a teenager, told he would be king in time. He played the harp for the king, killed the giant Goliath, became the head of the military and married the king’s daughter. David was the most famous person in the whole kingdom and beloved by everyone around him Everyone...

This probably isn't how you imagined your year would look. Chances are you didn't anticipate a global pandemic, a shelter-in-place order or having to spend each day wondering when things would return to the way they were. There was no plan for postponing your dream wedding, celebrating your grandson's birthday through a video call or mourning the loss of a loved one with far fewer people than they...

Even the heroes of our faith, men and women who walked with God for decades, had moments where they felt like they couldn’t go on.  Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. Psalm 61:1-3  David knew what it felt like to exp...

These days are hard. They aren’t what we planned, and there’s no end in sight. So how are we supposed to not only live through these days but to live well in the midst of them? The answer can be found in the book of Hebrews. But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, (you came out of the blocks strong!) sometimes being publicly exposed...

Where is God? It's a valid question and one that no one should feel shame about asking. One of the wonderful attributes of God is that He isn't afraid of our questions. Our searching for God gives Him another chance to put His Glory and His overarching story on display. Besides, this is hardly a new question. Overwhelming? Yes. Original? No. It's the very same question that has bounced around the...

What the world needs most today, what our cities and communities need most today, what we all need most today is a spiritual awakening. Here’s the good news. It’s possible. Right now, God is closer to you than you think. How close?   Twenty inches. Twenty inches is all that separates you from, “then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”   It’s the twenty...

This week Global Pastor Louie Giglio continues our VICTORY series with a message that is timely to the days we are living in. Teaching out of Mark 2:1-12 Pastor Louie reminds us of a few critical things:  1. Our faith can move the heart of God and impact the eternal destiny of someone around us.  2. The paralyzed man's problem was bigger than he thought.  3. Jesus didn't offer a crutch. He healed...
