The answer to who we are begins with WHOSE we are.

First Things Wk 3: “First Trust: Surrendering Control to God” What we trust determines what we fear, how we plan, and how freely we give. Stewardship is not about managing scarcity but trusting God's sufficiency, not just with our finances but with our whole lives.

FIRST THINGS is a series about aligning our lives with what matters most. Part Two, First Loyalty: Who Gets My Loyalty?, explores the challenge of competing allegiances. You can't steward your life well when your allegiance is divided. Stewardship is about choosing the right Master—because every master demands something, and only one is worthy of […]

In Christ Jesus, we are not on a journey of self-improvement or “identity enhancement,” but of complete transformation. This message explores what it means to be a new creation as we continue asking the question, “Who Are You?”

If someone were to ask, “Who are you?” how would you respond? When identity is rooted in anything other than Christ, it becomes unstable, exhausting, and ultimately misleading. This opening message in the series “Who Are You?” begins a journey of discovery, exploring what it means to find our true identity in Jesus.

When we experience something life-changing, we naturally want to share it with others. As this series concludes, this message reflects on the 12 Steps we've explored and what it means to carry this truth to those who need it just as much as we do.

In our series so far, we have focused on prayer for specific things. Now, we pause to spend time with God to deepen our walk with Him. Join us as we seek to know Him and His will and the power to carry it out.

The empty cross is the symbol of our victory in Christ. Our sins are put to death. We are forgiven. We gain the promise of eternal life. That’s the Easter Message.But what about life after Easter?

Ask. It’s an open-ended word. Wide open. Ask who? Ask what? In this step, we humbly ask God to remove all our shortcomings. That’s a big Ask. Join us this Sunday, as we explore what this means for our salvation and spiritual growth.

It's one thing to recognize the areas of our lives that need to change; it's another to allow God to do the changing. Being ready doesn't mean being perfect—it means being open. This message explores what it means to be willing for God to remove our defects of character as part of the 12 Steps […]

An old Scottish proverb says, “Confession is good for the soul.” Scripture backs that up. Join us for step 5 of our journey, “Steps to Life in Christ,” as we get a Biblical perspective on confession to God and people we trust.

Sometimes, we need to stop and take a hard look at ourselves. With God’s help, this can turn from grief to repentance and, through Jesus, to victory and freedom.
