At times, our souls are overwhelmed by pain, grief, or the weight of what we're walking through. This week, we'll explore the reality of suffering and how Jesus meets us in the midst of it.

Our souls can become tortured by past mistakes, lies we believe, and unresolved guilt. This week, we'll explore how to confront the things that torment our souls—through confession, the truth of God's Word, and the freedom we have in Christ. The truth will set us free.
Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? This week, we'll explore why our souls feel heavy—whether it's past hurts, current troubles, or future anxieties—and how to counteract this heaviness by remembering God's faithfulness, crying out to Him in the present, and trusting in His power for the future.
In a world full of noise and distraction, it's easy for our souls to feel restless. This week, we'll uncover the effects of a restless soul, explore why we struggle to find peace, and learn how to find true rest in God. By being still, waiting on God, and reflecting on His presence, we can experience the rest that only He can give.
The cross wasn't just about forgiving our sins—it was about transforming who we are. Jesus became sin so we could become righteous, not through our works but through His grace. This week, we'll learn that true freedom comes when we stop carrying our old selves and step fully into our identity in Christ. It's not about self-improvement—it's about surrender.
The cross is the foundation for our healing. Jesus didn't just take away our sin—He took our sickness too. Many believe that God can heal, but struggle to believe He wants to. This week, we'll uncover the biblical truth that healing is part of God's promise to us, secured through Jesus' sacrifice. By faith, we can step into the wholeness He purchased on the cross.
Did Jesus really die just to save us from sin, or did He accomplish more on the cross? This week, we'll uncover the truth that Jesus became poor so we could live in abundance—not just financially, but in every area of life. God's will is that we live in the overflow of His blessings, able to be a blessing to others. Let's break free from a mindset of lack and step into the abundance Jesus secured for us!
Revive isn't just a name—it's our identity. In Week 4 of our series In This House, Pastor Craig unpacks what it means to be a people shaped by revival. Our church was birthed in renewal, and that same spirit continues to move through us today. Revival isn't an event or a program; it's the heartbeat of who we are. We live with an expectation of God's transformative power, carrying His life-giving presence wherever we go.
Faith isn't just something we hear—it's something we live. In Week 3 of our series In This House, Maddison challenges us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our everyday lives. We are called to be “Jesus with skin on,” reflecting His love, compassion, and truth to the world around us. Whether in our workplaces, homes, or communities, we have the opportunity to make His presence known in real and practical ways.

“It's not fair!” We've all said it—but is fairness really the goal? In the final part of Taking the Reins, Pastor Craig unpacks the Parable of the Talents and encourages us to shift our perspective.

Taking the Reins Pt 3 Sometimes, it's not just about praying—it's about stepping up.
We all live by principles—either using them for success or ignoring them to our own distress. In this message, Pastor Trinity unpacks the biblical truth that we reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7-10).

How Do We Stay Planted and Thrive During the Process? God calls us to live a life that is root-focused, not fruit-focused. While it's easy to become frustrated during the slow process of building a deep root system, it's during this time that God strengthens our faith, character, wisdom, and endurance. In this message, Craig shares how we can grow through the discomfort of the process and remain planted, even when it's tempting to compare our journey to others or give up. Discover what it means to thrive in the waiting and how keeping Jesus at the center allows us to see the fruit, dreams, and visions for our lives come to pass.

This week, Ps. Trinity kicks off our new series, The Gift, exploring the meaning behind the gifts Jesus received from the wise men.

How do we face the fears that try to control us? This week, Ps. Craig shows us the importance of remembering God's faithfulness in the past and why the presence of giants in our lives might just be a sign that we're on the right path.

We all like to feel in control of our lives. Surrendering to someone requires a lot of trust and can feel uncomfortable. In this message, Ps. Craig explores what we gain when we truly understand the identity of Jesus.
Following Christ isn't a competition. So why do so many of us treat it like one? It can be easy to let pride take over when God has blessed us with strong relationships, great careers, or exceptional talent—but a humble heart beats any of those things. Let's dig into that this week in What Would Jesus Undo?
It's hard to like a hypocrite, right? Someone who says one thing but does another? Jesus wasn't a fan of hypocrisy either. This week, Rima takes us through the cost of living a lie—and exactly why Jesus would call people out on it.
There's one thing everyone on the earth was made to do: worship our Creator. Yet so often, it's easy for us to sleepwalk through our days and give simple lip service to God.

There are things we need to hear, that we don't really want to hear. In this message we look at an attribute of God that is mentioned more in scripture than anything other, yet we talk about it the least. If we can understand this attribute of God, it will set us free.

What in your life have you made treaties with that you never should have? In this message Ps Adam challenges us to stand firm and fight the good fight.

It is so important to we understand that we are Sons of God and co-heirs with Christ. In this message we look at what happens when we live with slave mentality, rather than as sons.

So often the perspective we have plays a vital role in how we respond to situations we are facing. In this message Richard shows us 3 perspectives from Israel leaving Egypt and encourages us to shift our perspective to God's perspective.

When you know who you are, then you will know what to do. In this message we start a series looking at rediscovering what the spirit of Sonship looks like for all of us.
