What if worship isn't just praise—it's protest? In this message titled “Worship as Rebellion,” Pastor Kevin explores how true worship challenges the status quo of the world, confronts spiritual complacency, and declares allegiance to a greater Kingdom. When we lift our hands and raise our voices, we're not just expressing devotion—we're resisting darkness, declaring freedom, and participating in a divine uprising.Drawing from scriptures like Luke 19:10, Luke 15, Psalm 122:1, Proverbs 27:17, Ephesians 2:10, and 1 Corinthians 12:4–7, this message will reframe how you view Sunday mornings, serving , and discovering your God-given purpose. Worship is not passive. It's powerful. And it has the potential to change your Monday as much as your Sunday.

When life shakes us, where do our roots dig in? In this message, Pastor Kevin invites us to explore Jeremiah 17:5–8 and the story of the twelve spies from Numbers 13–14. Are we building our lives on self-reliance—or are we anchored in the faithful promises of God? Discover how trusting in sight leads to fear, but trusting in the Lord leads to flourishing. It's time to replant our trust in the One who never fails.
On Palm Sunday 2025, Pastor Kevin shares a powerful message from Mark 11 titled A King Worth Following. As the crowd welcomes Jesus with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna,” their expectations clash with the kind of King He truly is. Through the lens of Joseph's story and the emotional tension of Holy Week, this sermon invites us to examine what kind of King we really want—and challenges us to follow Jesus, not just when the crowd cheers, but when the path leads through surrender.

The Midde is Holy Ground: Week 1
Have you ever felt like your time has passed? Like you're too old, too late, or too far gone for God to still use you? In this powerful message, Pastors Kevin and Jacinta Mullins dive into the story of Barzillai, an 80-year-old man who could have believed his best days were behind him—but instead, he chose to bless the next generation and step into God's ongoing purpose.Through biblical examples of people who thought they were "done"—Moses, Elijah, Peter, and even a forgotten king in exile—we're reminded that if you're still breathing, God's not finished with you.No matter your age, your past, or what you think you've lost, God still has a plan, a calling, and work for you to do.
