In it, Pastor Tim brings clarity to our mission and explores two forms of gravity — history and culture — that we must fight in order to faithfully fulfill our unique Kingdom contribution. Then Tim outlines three ALL IN challenges for our church – actions we can take to help us break free into what God has for us next. Each one requires the PRE-DECISION to do whatever it takes to leverage our rich history and BUILD MOMENTUM for the future.

As followers of Jesus we're not just to thank God — but to tell others why! When we fail to be thankful for what Jesus does in our lives, it can cause us to be forgetful, ungrateful, and unhelpful! Think about it. God's gracious acts slip from our memory because we just move on to the next thing without pausing to express thanks. We can also slip into entitlement, taking God's grace for granted, becoming ungrateful for all He's done. Plus, we remain unhelpful to others — because when they don't hear our God-stories, their faith doesn't have a chance to grow. This is why the Prophet Isaiah said: "Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done, and proclaim that His name is exalted" (Is. 12:4). So that's what we're doing today. We're hearing from several people in our church family — from different generations, genders and language groups — about what God has done in their stories during 2024. These stories will not only stir faith in your heart, but cause you to remember how God has worked in your life as well! Thank you for your generosity and for advancing the Kingdom of God!

In today's message, we dive into the very moment when ordinary shepherds first witness the extraordinary glory of God. Imagine being enveloped by the radiant light of His glory, a reflection of God's infinite love and power.

The Christmas story is punctuated by those who proclaimed God is with us, for us, in us, and like us! But this didn't begin when the angels showed up to the shepherds. It started centuries before when the prophets declared the Messiah — the Christ — was coming. Today we're looking at what those prophets actually said, and how what they foretold came to be. And we're reminded that just "knowing" prophetic truths isn't what's important; what's critical is that our lives would be transformed by Jesus!

Have you ever tried to start a fire with just one piece of wood? It's hard to do! But when you build a fire with several pieces, it can be roaring in no time. This is much like our prayer lives. When we're praying together with other people of faith, God shows up in power. Psalm 133:1–3 "How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity! ... For there the Lord bestows his blessing...." God's blessing's flow where His family is operating together in unity. And united prayer is one of the ways we act on God's promise!

Today, we're diving into the truth that prayer isn't just wishful thinking — it's an active demonstration of our faith in Jesus. And God is waiting for us to come to Him in prayer. His promise?

What would our politics look like if Jesus was truly at the center? In today's message, as we continue in our series, we explore how to find our identity in Jesus rather than in a political party or candidate. Looking at Romans 14, we'll learn how to love and accept fellow believers, even when we disagree on certain issues—whether it's about politics or other personal choices. God accepts us all, and we're called to do the same without judgment or division.

In a world divided by politics, how can we, as followers of Jesus, rise above the chaos? In today's message, "Jesus-Centered Politics," we dive deeper into how to overcome evil by doing good.

One of the most profound promises in Scripture is that nothing can separate us from the love of God. In Romans 8:38-39, we are reminded that no matter our circumstances—whether it's fear, challenges, or even our mistakes—God's love is constant and unwavering. In this message, we dive deeper into understanding this promise, and reflect on how God's faithfulness creates both hope and trust in our lives.

Every one of us wants to live a life that truly matters, a life that makes a difference in the world. But how is it possible? Enter the promise of God, where we learn that every faith-inspired action is part of God's work, and none of it will ever be useless!

In this message, Pastor Aaron Hunter shares from Psalm 3, where David faces one of the darkest moments of his life, fleeing from his own son. Yet, even in this moment of despair, he clings to the promise of God. In the same way, we discover that we can cling to God's promises as well to carry us through our own storms.

In this message, Pastor Charlie Finocchiaro provides practical steps to living in the light. He explains that walking in God's truth leads to spiritual growth and purification from sin.

Trapped in Babylon, exiled and broken, God's people faced their darkest hour. But in that moment, one of the Bible's most electrifying promises was spoken. Jeremiah 29:11, a beacon of hope that's inspired millions. But what if there's even more to this story? Join us today as we explore what God said, and learn how it can bring hope to us even in our most challenging and painful seasons.

God's promises don't just shield us from hell's attacks, they also form the weapon we need in our hands to take back territory from every dark force of the enemy. Jesus' promise is that He will build His church, and the gates of hell won't overcome it. Today we explore what it means to "take up the sword of the Spirit" and join Jesus in His spiritual fight against every stronghold of hell.

Are you hurting? Do you feel like you're under attack? The world is filled with pain — plus we know there's a real enemy out there launching arrows designed to take us out. We need a real defense to make it through — and that's exactly what God's promises are: an unbreakable defense! In this message we're exploring how Abraham leaned in to God's promise so that during decades of challenge he leaned into God's promise to defend against doubt and discouragement.
