In the same way that physical hunger leads us to food, spiritual hunger leads us to Jesus. This Communion Sunday, we remind ourselves that Jesus is our source. He is the ‘true bread of heaven' that sustains our spirit when we are in relationship with Him.

Ps Dan kicks off a new series to help us follow in the ways of Jesus by doing what He did.

niciamos una nueva serie de mensajes, con nuestra primer Disciplina espiritual: "La Negación del Yo"¿Todo lo que “se siente en paz” viene realmente de Dios?En esta prédica directa y necesaria, somos confrontados con uno de los engaños más peligrosos de nuestra fe: usar la palabra “paz” para justificar decisiones que contradicen la Palabra de Dios.Basado en Lucas 9:23–27, este mensaje nos recuerda que seguir a Jesús no es acomodarlo a nuestra vida, sino negarnos a nosotros mismos, tomar la cruz y obedecer, incluso cuando no hay una paz emocional inmediata.A lo largo de la enseñanza se expone cómo el engaño del “siento paz” aparece en áreas muy reales de la vida:

This morning, Ps Dan McGaw unpacks the discipline of prayer and fasting. Fasting is about going without food so that we will rely on our true source, God. It is a process of emptying ourselves so that we may see Jesus come and fill us up again.

Spiritual drift is real — but panic isn't the answer.In the book of Jude, God doesn't just warn the church, He equips them.In this message, Build Yourselves Up, we explore Jude 1:17–23 and discover God's invitation to intentionally strengthen our faith through truth, prayer, and remaining rooted in His love.

Ps Dan takes us through Psalm 23 and John 10 looking at things we can learn from sheep and their Shepherd.

Drift never announces itself.No one plans to walk away from God — it happens quietly, subtly, over time.In this message from our series in the book of Jude, we explore a sobering but hope-filled warning to believers: those who have genuinely experienced God's salvation can still drift if faith is not guarded intentionally.

¿Es posible seguir a Jesús… sin negarnos a nosotros mismos?Esta prédica confronta uno de los engaños más sutiles y comunes de nuestra fe: querer a Jesús en nuestra vida, pero sin soltar el control de ella.En “El Gran Engaño”, el Ps. Dan nos lleva a Lucas 9:23–27 para recordarnos que Jesús no llamó admiradores, simpatizantes o creyentes cómodos… llamó discípulos.✨ Seguir a Jesús exige perder el control… porque solo perdiéndonos en Él encontramos la vida verdadera.✨ La gracia que no transforma no es la gracia del evangelio.Una prédica directa, honesta y necesaria para todo el que desea una fe genuina, centrada en Cristo y no en sí mismo.Te invitamos a:

As we begin a new year, we're reminded that the promises of God don't come automatically — they are often contended for.In this New Year Sunday message, we explore what it means to contend for the Kingdom, contend for the Gospel, and contend for breakthrough. This message is a call to step in, not drift; to stand firm in faith; and to believe God for all He has for us individually, for our families, for our church, and for our town.Key Scriptures:Jude 1:3Matthew 6:33Romans 1:16Galatians 6:9Whether you're starting the year full of faith or feeling weary, this message is an invitation to contend — and to trust that God is faithful.

In the final message of our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan explores one of the most challenging truths of the Christmas story: there was no room at the inn.Many people aren't rejecting Jesus — they're just busy, distracted, and full. From Luke 2 and Matthew 2, this message invites us to slow down, clear space, and allow Jesus to reorder our priorities, our worship, and our direction.In this message we explore:• Why crowded hearts often miss divine moments• How worship requires surrender and costly obedience• Why real encounters with Jesus always change our direction• What it looks like to make room for the King in everyday lifeThis is a timely and honest invitation to pause, reflect, and respond — not just at Christmas, but as a way of life.

This Christmas season, Ps Dan encourages us with the story of a Leper's encounter with Jesus. Where everyone else moved away from the leper, Jesus stepped forward. In the same way Jesus steps into our mess, not around it, and gives us healing and wholeness.

At Christmas, we sing about peace — but many of us still feel weary, anxious, or stretched thin.In this Christmas Carol message, Dan explores the powerful truth behind Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and the angelic announcement:“Peace on earth… God and sinners reconciled.”Drawing on a personal story from the early days of marriage, real-life illustrations, and the Christmas story from Luke 2, this message reminds us that peace isn't something we have to chase — peace came looking for us.Jesus didn't come to shout instructions from heaven.He came close.He stepped into our mess.He stood in the gap.And He offers forgiveness, reconciliation, and new life to all who receive Him.Whether you're exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for fresh hope this Christmas, this message invites you to discover that peace has a name — and His name is Jesus.

What happens when heaven interrupts the ordinary?In this message from our Christmas series The God Who Comes Close, Ps Dan unpacks the powerful moment when God reveals His glory not to kings or priests — but to shepherds working the night shift.From Luke 2:8–20, we're reminded that:• God often breaks into the most unexpected places• His presence replaces fear with courage• Real encounters with Jesus always lead to transformation and testimonyThis message is for anyone who feels overlooked, stuck in routine, or wrestling with fear. Heaven doesn't wait for perfect moments — it breaks into ordinary lives and changes everything.

This week, we conclude our relationship series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,' as we look at how to correctly address conflict in our relationships. The question isn't whether or not we should fight, it's how to fight right. After every conflict should be a reconciliation and a resolution that comes from seeking God.

God's design for sex and intimacy is counter to what the world says. Culture has opinions, but God has the final word! This week Ps Dan & Ashari McGaw unpack what Godly sex and intimacy looks like and the path forward to healing and restoration.

This week, we continue our series 'Mates, Dates & Marriages' and are talking all things dating. God's way isn't just the right way, it works!

This week, we continue our new relationship series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,' as we look to the foundations of all types of relationships. Today, we look to Song of Songs to learn what Godly attraction looks like. The world gets caught up on attraction to external things but we should be more concerned with the internal - the marker of true beauty.

We don't drift into Godly relationship by accident, we build them intentionally. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Mates, Dates and Marriages,' as we discover the importance of Friendships built on biblical foundations. Two people are better than one, for they can help each other succeed!

We are called to live in relationships as God intended them to enrich our lives.

We have a responsibility to protect the righteousness of the things in our life. This Father's Day, Ps Dan encourages us to stand in the gap. We are drowning in advice but starving for fathers and mothers - we need to choose to stand in the gap for others where the wall is thinnest. 

The church of Thyatira had tolerated false teaching and idols from the cultures around them. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Letters to the Church' as we study the letter written to Thyatira as a correction directed at this tolerance. Compromise and tolerance leads to our destruction, however, Gods way leads to joy through holiness.

Laodicea was a materially rich but spiritually bankrupt city. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Letters to the Church' as we study the final letter which was written to Laodicea. Laodicea's belief that they were self-sufficient led to their indifference and lukewarm spirituality.

The little things we compromise end up eroding larger areas of our life overtime. This week, Ps Dan continues our series ‘Letters to the Church' as we study the warning written to Pergamum. Internal compromise creeps in, we must guard ourselves against it.
