Does God still speak to His people today? Throughout Scripture, we see the Holy Spirit teaching, guiding, and directing God's people—from inspiring the written Word to leading the early church in sharing the gospel. But the Spirit's work didn't end with the book of Acts. The same Spirit continues to speak and guide believers today. In week two of Ghost Encounters , we explore how the H...

In our series opener, we are seeking to understand the rightful and correct power and presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers by looking at how His power and presence appeared throughout Scripture. In doing so, believers will be equipped to understand that all the practices of faith–reading our Bibles, going to church, worship, service, fellowship, etc.-are merely going through the m...

Ecclesiastes 10 draws a clear contrast between wisdom and foolishness, reminding us that even a little foolishness can undo what has taken years to build. Throughout the chapter, we see how wisdom shapes the way we respond to conflict, navigate an unpredictable and sometimes unfair world, approach our work, exercise leadership, and use our words.  In this message, we’ll explore what it looks...

We are called to take a breath, accept that which has been called and confirmed upon us by the creator, accept that the “boundary lines have fallen for us in pleasant places” as the psalmist says, and in our identity be part of the creative process with God in what we can see and be a part of.

What happens when getting more still isn’t enough? In Ecclesiastes 5–6, the Teacher confronts one of the most common ways we try to find meaning and security: the accumulation of wealth. But money can’t provide lasting happiness, and the constant pursuit of more often leaves us just as dissatisfied as when we started. Instead, Ecclesiastes points us toward a different way to live—receiving what Go...

The teacher is inviting us to enter the house of the Lord with our ears open and our mouths shut so that we have space to deal with our destructive tendencies and find grace at the foot of the cross. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Life is not about jealousy and isolation and toxic ambition (that is a chasing after the wind), the journey of life is about recognizing the power of a sovereign God, coupled with wisdom, balance, and contentment in who you are and how we are meant to work together – God | Self | Others.

We all experience seasons we didn't choose—times of celebration, loss, waiting, growth, and change. Ecclesiastes 3 reveals that behind every season stands a God who is faithfully at work.

We have 8 core values as a church, four that connect to our approach of identity restoration, and four that connect to our call to proclamation. And EVERYTHING is grounded and rooted in Scripture.

We have NO idea what’s going on outside of what we cannot see in life. The gift God is giving us is the journey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Ecclesiastes 1, the Teacher wrestles with life's mysteries, frustrations, and apparent cycles of futility. As generations come and go and human striving seems fleeting, we're confronted with the limits of our control and the reality of life's "hevel"—its vapor-like unpredictability. Yet through Christ, we discover that our labor is not in vain, our lives are not forgotten, and true meaning is f...

Unlike the elaborate message to the Athenians, Paul’s message to Corinth was simple—Jesus is the Messiah.

What do you do when the world around you thinks completely differently than you do? In Acts 17, Paul encounters a highly intellectual and deeply pluralistic Athenian culture—yet he finds a way to share the gospel with clarity and courage. Join us as we explore his approach to staying faithful in the midst of a culture that isn’t. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Thessalonica and Berea, we can see that the Gospel flourishes in not in comfort, but often in conflict; we are meant to engage people where they’re at; and we are to invite people into the wonder of holy curiosity that pushes us into exploring more of the God who saves.  Hosted on Acast.
