This Sunday, Pastor Amy Perez shares how the life offered to God becomes the aroma of Christ to the world. Romans 12 reveals that true worship isn't performance, it's surrender. When our lives are placed on the altar, they rise as incense before God, revealing His love, transforming our hearts, and renewing our minds. Every act of trust, obedience, and love becomes fragrance. Your home becomes a temple, your work holy ground, your life worship.
John 1:16. From His fullness, we've received grace upon grace. The life that pleases God isn't built on striving but surrender a life placed on the altar, renewed by His Spirit, and shaped by grace. This Sunday, Pastor Kevin Myers shares how living as a living sacrifice transforms who we are and why we're here. Grace doesn't just save us; it sustains us. From His fullness He favors you.
Zechariah 4:1–10. God gave Zechariah a vision to encourage a weary people rebuilding after exile. The lampstand and flowing oil revealed that revival doesn't come from human strength but through the unending supply of the Holy Spirit. The task wasn't to build by effort but to stay connected to the Source. Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us how this prophecy reminds us not to despise small beginnings. What looks like rubble to us, God sees as a finished temple. The mountain before us is no match for His Spirit, and the same grace that began the work will complete it.
In this week's Leadership Lessons, we remember that the gospel is not just what we believe it's what we become through Him. Jesus joined our humanity (John 1:14), took our place (2 Cor 5:21), freed us from sin's rule (Rom 8:15), restored us to relationship (Rom 5:10-11), made us righteous (Rom 5:1), called us His own (John 20:17), set us apart by His Spirit (2 Thess 2:13), gave us victory (Col 2:15), breathed new life into prayer (Rom 6:9-10), lifted us into Heaven's presence (Eph 2:6), intercedes for us continually (Heb 7:25), transforms us from glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18), and leads us as the head of a new humanity (Rom 5:19). The Spirit now makes these truths alive in us reminding us we're not working for acceptance but living from it. Our part is agreement and surrender, letting His finished work form our daily walk.
Romans 8:14–17 | Galatians 5:22–25. If we live by the Spirit, let's walk in step with Him, the life Jesus lived by the Spirit is now the life the Spirit lives in us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that the same Spirit who led Jesus now leads us as sons and daughters of God. The Spirit replaces fear with belonging and forms the life of Christ within us growing love, joy, peace, and the fruit that law alone could never produce.
Romans 8:26–27. The Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. In this week's Leadership Lessons, Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that prayer is not performance but participation a divine exchange where the Holy Spirit prays through us. Prayer begins in weakness, but through surrender, the Spirit aligns us with Heaven's will. It's not about getting something from God, but becoming one with Him. Bringing His kingdom to earth. Prayer births boldness, sustains dependence, and turns surrender into power.
John 16:7–15. Jesus promised that it was to our advantage that He would go so that the Holy Spirit could come and dwell within us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that the Helper is not distant but deeply present. The same Spirit who revealed Christ to the world now reveals Christ in us. Convicting, guiding, and glorifying the Son through our lives. He doesn't simply inform us of truth; He forms us into it. When we feel weak, uncertain, or wordless, the Spirit intercedes, translating our groans into the language of heaven. The Spirit is not optional; He is essential. He is the presence of Jesus with us, and the power of Jesus in us.
Exodus 34:6–7. God reveals His name, His nature, and His heart so we can reflect Him rightly. In this weeks Leadership Lessons Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us that the glory of God is not distant or abstract, it's revealed in His character. When we behold Him, we become like Him. His grace justifies, His truth transforms, and His love restores. Christ is the mirror of God and when we look to Him, we see who we're meant to become.
Proverbs 3:5–8. Life isn't a game to win, it's a journey to be guided. God doesn't promise control or clarity, but His presence. This Sunday Pastor Amy Perez reminds us that The Guided Life begins with surrender, not certainty. The Shepherd doesn't hand us a map. He walks with us step by step, teaching us to trust His voice over our own understanding. True peace is found in following, not figuring it out.
Proverbs 3:5–8. God doesn't just tell us to trust Him, He shows us why we can. In a world driven by independence and self-reliance, He invites us to lean on the Shepherd who already knows the way. This Sunday Pastor Kevin Myers shows us that peace is found not in control, but in surrender. The same Shepherd who restores your soul, leads you beside still waters, and guides you through the valley is faithful to direct your steps today. True guidance begins when we stop leaning on our own understanding and start trusting the One who never misleads.
2 Timothy 3:16–17 | Luke 24:27 If stories matter, the Bible is the most important one ever told, not because it hides weakness, but because it reveals a God who shows up in it. From Moses' altar to Jesus on the road to Emmaus, every page points to Him. Scripture isn't just words; it's breath is the same Spirit that formed Adam and fills us now. In todays Leadership Lessons, Pastor Amy Perez shows us that reading the Bible isn't about information but formation. When we "eat this book," we let God's story shape ours, moving from knowing about Him to truly knowing Him.
Matthew 6:25–33 Jesus doesn't just tell us not to worry, He shows us why we don't have to. In a world obsessed with provision, perfection, and performance, He reminds us that the Father already sees, already knows, and already cares. This Sunday Pastor Dan Lian shows us that peace isn't found in control, but in trust. The same God who feeds the birds and clothes the fields is faithful to take care of you too. True worship begins when worry ends. When we stop chasing what's temporary and start resting in the One who never changes.
In today's episode, Olusegun Olujide unpacks what it means to partner with God in prayer to establish His kingdom on earth. God doesn't force His will, He invites us to co-labor through prayer. Drawing from James 5:16, we see that God is searching for people who will stand in the gap. Those who carry His heart and release His will through intercession. Effective prayer is not about performance but partnership. It's grounded in: God's Word, revelation, faith, confession and righteousness. Let's be a church that when we pray, heaven responds.
Matthew 6:8–13. Jesus doesn't just teach us to pray, He teaches us why we pray. While the world turns prayer into performance or persuasion, Jesus calls us back to something deeper: communion with the Father who already knows what we need. Prayer isn't about control; it's about surrender. It's where communication becomes communion, and presence replaces performance. In this message, Pastor Kevin Myers shows us how the Lord's Prayer reorders our hearts moving us from striving to resting, from asking for outcomes to aligning with God's will. True prayer begins not with our words, but with trust in the One who listens.
Leviticus 6:12–13. God lit the altar fire, but the priests had to keep it burning. In the same way, Jesus ignites the flame, but we fuel it through prayer, repentance, and consistency. Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us how the command to "keep the fire burning" is not just ritual, but a pattern for prayer, fasting, and daily surrender, where something dies, and God's life is revealed in us.
This Sunday Pastor Amy Perez reminds us that faith is not passive. It calls us to move. Faith is the foundation and evidence of God's promises, the courage to leave the familiar, and the hope of a better homeland. When we take God at His word, our lives shift, shame breaks, fear loses power, and we start living with eternity in view. Faith calls us forward, higher, and homeward until heaven breaks into earth through us.
This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey reminds us that faith is not a human achievement but a divine gift. We all wrestle with the question of faith, and all human objects of trust eventually collapse yet the foundation of true faith is unshakable because it rests on God's Word. Faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the conviction of what we cannot yet see. Like the ancients, we trust before we see, walking by faith and not by sight. Reality itself was spoken into being by the Word, and our salvation is received by grace through faith, a gift, not a work. The power is not in the strength of our faith but in its object: Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
In today's Leadership Lessons Pastor Josh Kelsey shows us that prayer is not performance but relationship. Maturity in Christ shows when leaders allow prayer to shape them before they shape others. In Matthew 6:9–13 Jesus gives us a pattern for prayer. We begin with "Our Father," remembering who we belong to and where our identity is found. Prayer reorders our loves, exalts God's name, and shifts our focus from building our own empires to seeking His kingdom. As leaders, we must ask: Do we live dependent on God daily? Do we model humility and repentance so others can see it? True prayer transforms character, breaks cycles of shame, and produces leaders who carry God's kingdom forward.
This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey encourages us that prayer doesn't just shift circumstances; it reshapes us. Like Hannah, we bring bitter tears and honest prayers to God not just asking but offering. Jesus carried our brokenness to the cross, rose in victory, and now transforms us from the inside out unbreaking what was broken. This is the power of the Gospel. Prayer reshapes our hearts till we carry the will of God.
In todays Leadership Lessons Pastor James Murray shows us shows that maturity in Christ requires self-devotion. A healthy church happens when believers take responsibility to worship, serve, and give without being told. In Acts 2:42–47 hospitality was central to the early church. It wasn't entertaining, it was including. Open tables, open homes, and open hearts made the Gospel visible. As leaders, we must ask: Do we live as Jesus lived? True hospitality transforms, reminding people they are worthy of God's love.
