In this message Pastor Chad walks us through Paul's masterful argument and explanation of the GOSPEL through the lens of two mothers from the ancient story of Abraham.

In this message we walk through the central call of a disciple...to FEAST on JESUS and draw our very life from him everyday, all throughout the day!

It also means abiding in and obeying his word i...

What does this mean for us? It signifies that Jesus invites us into a life of ongoing encounter and transformation. He is greater than the temple, meaning our relationship with Him transcends traditional rituals and phys...

In Mark 10, we discover four powerful movements that shape our journey as disciples of Christ. First, we're called to embrace a childlike posture of dependency and trust, recognizing that the Kingdom of God is a gift to be received, not earned. This humility opens our hearts to experience the joy and wonder of God's love. Next, we're challenged to examine our priorities, ensuring that Christ remai...

In this powerful message, Pastor Neil Broere walked us through Genesis 7 and the story of Noah and the ark.

In hallways of transition WORSHIP and WAIT on the LORD!

In this powerful exploration of Genesis 1, we're reminded of God's incredible power to bring order out of chaos. The phrase 'formless and void' (tohu wabohu in Hebrew) paints a vivid picture of a world in disarray, much like our own lives and society can feel at times. But just as God spoke light into darkness, He can speak order into our chaos. We're called to be co-creators with God, bringing Hi...
