God does the supernatural, the miraculous. However, He does the supernatural in response to our faith. Stretch yourself, take the first step, listen to the voice of God, and experience His provision.

We all go through seasons of our lives where it feels as though we are sinking – financially, relationally, or emotionally. God told us to get in the boat and go, but now it feels as though He is nowhere to be found. But one thing is for certain, when God gives us a word, He follows through. What He speaks, He guides us to – and He might even call us to walk on water in the meantime! 

All of us want to know our lives count for something, that they matter, that we’re a part of something bigger than ourselves. God gives us that opportunity to come together and make an impact through the unimaginable power of the church. Through the glory, presence, and Holy Spirit of God, we can be a part of seeing God’s kingdom come and His will getting done on earth – together!

“Let’s Go Up The Mountain.” It was the ultimate test of faith. It was a faith journey that was so much more than Abraham could have imagined. God asked Abraham to worship Him by sacrificing his only son, Isaac. Abraham passed the test and was greatly blessed. This narrative, however, isn’t just ancient history, it holds profound relevance for us today. Discover the power of obedience and faith and uncover the blessings that await those who trust in the providence of the Divine.

You cannot have a comeback if you stay in your setback! So how do you get through what you are going through? In this special Easter message, Pastor Daryle Williams reminds us that God has revealed to us a profound lesson in overcoming setbacks and experiencing comebacks.

Jesus is King! For a follower of Christ, that has to be more than simple lip service. To say truly say He is King requires from us a profound commitment to worship, serve, and trust Him. Only then to we begin to experience what it means to live in His kingdom.

Witness the awe-inspiring authority of Jesus as He taught people and expelled demons. Through the divine synergy of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, His power flowed effortlessly. Join us in this message to explore how we, too, can tap into the transformative power of the Word, empowered by faith and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus, a man of flesh, embodied the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. As followers, we too can unlock the fullness of God’s blessings by embracing the indwelling, guidance, and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

At his baptism, Jesus heard the Father say three things, “You are mine, you are loved, and you bring me joy.” You and I as children of God need to know that the Father is saying the same three things to us - you are His, He does love you, and you do please Him. The first statement is our identity - we are His children. The second statement is unconditional - He will always love us. And the third statement is emotional - Your Father in heaven expresses emotion over you. Hear these words and believe them.

Many people feel unfulfilled in life - incomplete. In this first message in the Complete series, Pastor Daryle Williams shows us that even though Satan and those around us want to help us find fulfillment elsewhere, we can truly be complete in Jesus.

God is a promise keeper. He loves us, He blesses us, and He pursues us - not because of who we are, but because He can't help Himself - He is, by nature, a promise keeper! Guest speaker Pastor Rex Johnson brings a powerful and encouraging word that God is still interested in you.

We all want to be in control. But in order to love Mondays - and every other day of the week - sometimes we have to let go of control and trust that God has all things in His capable hands. In this first message in the Love Mondays series, Pastor Daryle Williams encourages us to ask three questions when we try to keep control: Does it matter? Is it mine? and Is it God's matter?

Our sermon series for the month of July is titled, "You Asked For It." Each Sunday, we answer questions submitted by you. In this first sermon in the series, Pastor Daryle Williams answers the question, "Should Christians be involved in politics?"

Sometimes, our mind plays dangerous, life-altering games that cause anxiety, depression, fear, and worse. But, the Bible has an answer for how to win when our brain doesn’t play fair. It all begins with our internal thoughts, positive and negative, and they really do matter.

The word "church" comes from the Greek word "ecclesia" which means "a gathering of people for a purpose." The church is not a building or a system or an ideology - it is a gathering of imperfect people for the purpose of proclaiming the saving power of Jesus.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. But for some, it can have a dark side - a reminder of hopes, dreams, and ideals that are unfulfilled and unrealized. How can this Christmas be different? Put your hope into action! Pastor Daryle Williams gives us 4 things to remember in putting action behind our hopes.

Every living thing is meant to grow. However organisms without a skeleton - a structure - are very limited in how much they can grow. Pastor Daryle Williams challenges us today to create a system in our lives of five things that will serve as a skeleton on which our spiritual lives can grow and flourish.

Does God want you to change? To answer that question, Pastor Daryle Williams takes us through verses in the Bible that clarify to us that God wants us to become more like Him, He wants us to be more fulfilled, more full of faith, and more satisfied in this life. And when God asks us to change, He always provides the power of His Spirit to make that change possible.
