More Than a Feeling: The Power of Thanksgiving Part 2 — In this powerful message, Pastor Robert Gay shares from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–19, reminding us that thankfulness is more than just a feeling—it's a way of life. Scripture calls us to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in every circumstance. Even when life doesn't go according to plan, we can choose to have a grateful heart and trust in God's faithfulness. Discover how living with an attitude of thanksgiving can transform our perspective, strengthen our faith, and keep our hearts focused on God, regardless of what we face.

Can I Do That? Part 2 — In this message, Pastor Joshua Gay shares from Romans 14:1–4, exploring how believers should respond when they don't see eye to eye. Just because we disagree with another Christian doesn't mean we have the right to judge, criticize, or look down on them. Scripture reminds us that we are called to consider one another, walk in love, and serve each other despite our differences. Discover why unity in the body of Christ doesn't require agreement on everything, but it does require love and respect for one another.

More Than a Feeling: Power of Thanksgiving Part 1 — In this new Sunday series, Pastor Joshua Gay shares from Luke 17:11–19, where Jesus heals ten lepers, but only one returns to give thanks. Through this powerful story and a personal testimony, we discover that thanksgiving is more than just an emotion or a response to something good happening in our lives. It's a powerful expression of faith that recognizes God's goodness, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. While all ten lepers received healing, the one who returned with thanksgiving experienced something even greater. This message challenges us to move beyond simply enjoying God's blessings and instead develop a lifestyle of gratitude that honors the One who provides them. Thanksgiving isn't just a feeling; it's a powerful act of faith!

Can I Do That? Part 1 — In this new Wednesday night series, Pastor Joshua Gay tackles some of the questions and controversial topics that often spark debate within the church. Sharing from Mark 7:7–13, he challenges us to examine the difference between God's Word and man-made traditions. Just because something has always been taught or practiced in the church, does that mean it's biblical? Through this series, we discover the importance of building our convictions on Scripture rather than personal opinions, religious traditions, or cultural expectations. The question isn't just, "Can I do that?" but "What does the Bible actually say?"

Strange Tales Part 5 — In the final message of our Strange Tales series, Pastor Joshua Gay shares from 1 Samuel 28:3–25 and the troubling story of King Saul seeking guidance from a medium. When fear, uncertainty, and desperation begin to take over, it can be tempting to listen to voices that tell us what we want to hear rather than what God has already spoken. But not every voice deserves our attention, and the voices we choose to follow will ultimately influence the direction of our lives. Through Saul’s story, we discover the danger of allowing fear to guide our decisions instead of trusting God's Word. Even when the future seems uncertain and answers are hard to find, we must remain grounded in His truth. Don't let fear choose your voice. Let God's Word lead the way.
