What if the Bible is not just a textbook to conquer or a rulebook to fear… what if it's an invitation? An intimate invitation to a person and presence- truth and reality? In this message Pastor David explores how the Bible is not merely a book of information, but a divine invitation into spiritual formation and transformation through Jesus Christ. The stories we believe shape the lives we live—and Scripture invites us into the true story/reality

In a world of noise, distraction, and pressure—prayer is resistance. Not resistance by might, but by presence. It's how we push back against isolation, performance, and spiritual drift. This message from Pastor David walks through John 15 and 2 Corinthians 3 to remind us that Jesus doesn't just call us to obey—He calls us to abide. To look, behold, remain, and live. Prayer is not a performance—it's a relational, transforming presence.

God is speaking—are we listening? In a world full of noise, distraction, and distortion, Jesus calls His sheep to know His voice and follow Him (John 10).

Jesus carries our burdens—and calls us to carry the burdens of others. Through His perfect intercession, we've been invited into a holy priesthood, standing in the gap on behalf of those in need. This week, Pastor Nathan teaches us that intercessory prayer is not a task for the spiritually elite—it's a call to love others with compassion, to pray like their pain is our pain, and to trust in the mercy of God.  

Is prayer really worth it? What's the point if God already knows everything—or when it feels like He isn't answering?   In this message, Pastor Adam helps us reframe prayer not as performance or obligation, but as an honest, ongoing conversation with a relational God- The Father. Through Psalm 73, Philippians 4, and James 5, we learn that sometimes the most powerful prayer we can pray is: “God, change my heart.”

When you think about God, what comes to mind? A distant judge? A cosmic boss? Or a compassionate Father who longs to be with you?   In this message, Pastor David opens our new series on prayer by showing how Jesus invites us not into performance—but into presence. Through the aching words of the disciples, “Lord, teach us to pray,” we discover that prayer isn't a skill to master—it's a relationship to practice.  

Jesus didn't just die for Barabbas—He died for us. In our place. And because He rose, the story doesn't end at the cross—it begins there. This Easter message, preached in two parts by Pastors David and Adam, begins with the sobering weight of our sin and ends with the living hope of the resurrection. Through the story of Barabbas, the cross, and the empty tomb, we are invited to surrender to the only One who holds the keys to death and life.  

What does a Jewish festival, a Seder meal, and the Last Supper have in common? Everything. In this message, Pastor Adam brings the Passover to life, showing how Jesus redefined it to form a new covenant for all who believe.  

Jesus didn't ride into Jerusalem quietly. He came in peace—but with authority. He fulfilled prophecy, confronted hollow religion, and demanded a response. This Pre-Palm Sunday, Pastor David walks through Matthew 21 and shows how Jesus is The King You Can't Ignore.

From the beginning, God has been building a family—not just a people, but a household. Through Jesus, we're not just saved—we're adopted. In this message, Pastor Jimmy walks us through what it means to be “Familified”—grafted into the household of God through faith in Jesus, and called to live as brothers and sisters in a spiritual family.

A life that won't fall apart is built day-by-day, moment-by-moment, on Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.   When Jesus finished His most famous teaching—the Sermon on the Mount—He didn't end with a benediction or a blessing. He gave a warning: Will you build your life on His words, or just admire them?  

From childhood, we learn to hide our mistakes—but God calls us to bring them into the light. The Bible shows us that confession isn't about shame—it's about freedom, healing, and true life in Jesus. Confession is surrender leading to healing, freedom, worship—the way to true life.  

Suffering isn't what God intended, but in His mercy, He meets us in our pain. When Jesus faced the weight of the cross, He turned to the Father in honest, lamenting prayer. His example teaches us how to bring our deepest emotions before God—without fear, without hiding, and without losing faith.  

Our natural desires—hunger, rest, pleasure—are God-given, yet sin twists them into appetites that can lead us away from Him. We are either mastered by our desires or mastering them through Christ.

What messages are shaping your soul? Every day, we are either being formed by the truth of Jesus or deceived by the lies of the enemy (The Devil). The messages we consume shape our hearts, minds, and actions.
