Advent calls us to slow down and prepare our hearts for the kind of peace only Jesus can bring. This message invites us to see the Christmas story not as a distant moment in history, but as a living reminder that God enters ordinary, unexpected places to make what is broken whole. Through Scripture and reflection, we’re reminded that true peace isn’t found in control, escape, or perfect circumstances. It’s found in a Person who meets us right where we are. If your heart feels restless, hurried, or weighed down, this message offers a fresh invitation to receive the peace of Christ and rest in His redeeming presence.
Joy isn’t something we chase. It’s something God invites us into, a deep and steady well-being that isn’t shaken by circumstances. Through Scripture and honest reflection, Pastor Michael Chandler invites us to see joy not as an emotion to maintain but as a life to receive, one formed by abiding, gratitude, and trust. If you long for a joy that lasts beyond the holiday season, this message points the way back to the One who makes our joy full.
We were never meant to settle for a thin, fragile happiness when Jesus offers a joy that is deep, steady, and unshakeable. In this Advent message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy reminds us that real joy isn’t produced by circumstances but by abiding in the One who calls us friend. If you’ve felt spiritually tired or unsure how to reclaim joy, this word invites you back into the fullness Jesus desires for His people.
This message invites us to see faith not as a destination but as a journey, one shaped by trust, dependence, and learning to recognize the Shepherd’s voice above every other. It reminds us that faith grows not through certainty or perfect conditions but through walking with God in the real, unpredictable places of life. Through Scripture and the story of Christ’s birth, Pastor John Conway shows how God leads us with purpose, forms us through challenges, and proves His faithfulness along the way. If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, longed for clarity, or wondered how to follow God when life feels uncertain, this message offers encouragement, perspective, and renewed confidence in the One who guides us.
This Advent message focuses on what it means to live with steady, resilient faith as we wait for Christ’s return. It reminds us that true faith isn’t rooted in circumstances or outcomes but in the character of a God who is trustworthy, present, and faithful in every season. Through Scripture and reflection, Pastor Aaron Kennedy invites us to release self-reliance, lean into the rest Jesus offers, and rediscover the peace that comes from walking closely with Him. If you’re tired, anxious, or carrying more than you were meant to, this message offers hope, perspective, and an invitation to abide in the One who carries every burden.
This Advent message opens the season by reminding us that hope is not wishful thinking. It is the steady light of God breaking into even our darkest moments. Drawing from the prophetic words of Isaiah, we’re invited to see how God’s character and presence speak life into places of loneliness, fear, and deep despair. In this message, Pastor Scott Conner offers a compassionate look at the real struggles people face while pointing us toward the One who brings comfort, strength, and everlasting peace. If you’re walking through uncertainty or simply need a reminder that God is near, this message will encourage your heart and renew your hope.
This Advent message explores what it means to carry God-given hope in seasons of waiting. It reminds us that true confidence isn’t rooted in the promise itself but in the character of the God who speaks it. Through Scripture and reflection, Pastor Aaron Kennedy invites us to release fear, rest in His love, and trust that He is always at work—even when we can’t see the full picture. If you’re navigating uncertainty or holding onto something God has spoken, this message offers encouragement, perspective, and renewed hope for the journey.
"Set Apart for His Glory" explores what it truly means to live a life set apart—not just in title, but in daily practice and purpose. Through Scripture and honest reflection, Elder Elliotte Pearson invites us to examine the gap between professing to know God and actually representing Him with our lives, and he challenges us to surrender old patterns, embrace transformation that comes from intimacy with God, and respond to His call with willing obedience. If you’ve ever wondered what holiness looks like beyond behavior, and what God really intends for His people, this message will speak deeply to your heart.
This week’s message invites us to rethink what purpose really is and who it’s ultimately for. Through Scripture and honest reflection, we’re challenged to lay down the pressure to prove ourselves and rediscover a life anchored in God’s presence, not personal platform. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler reminds us that the most meaningful work God does in us often happens in the hidden places, long before anyone sees it. If you’ve ever wrestled with calling, identity, or the desire to “do more” for God, this message will speak straight to your heart.
What if the trial you’re facing isn’t meant to break you, but to prove that you’re ready for the next stage of His promise? In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy unpacks the purpose of trials and transitions in the life of a believer. He reminds us that while the enemy uses trials as traps, God uses them as tests designed to promote us, not punish us. Through faith and patience, we learn to trust God’s timing and remain anchored in hope even when circumstances are uncertain.
What if the very trial you’re walking through is the place where God plans to reveal His deepest work in you? In this message, Trials of Suffering, Pastor Michael Chandler continues the Set Apart series by exploring how God transforms our pain into purpose. This message invites listeners to see suffering not as a setback, but as sacred ground where faith, healing, and maturity are formed.
In this message, Billy Bodette continues the Set Apart series with a challenging word on living a consecrated life in the face of persecution. Drawing from the book of Zephaniah, he warns against the danger of complacency, a heart that no longer seeks God or depends on Him. Pastor Billy reminds us that God isn’t after outward sacrifice but a broken and humble heart that He can heal and restore. The message calls believers to examine where they’ve grown comfortable, choose surrender over self, and live fully devoted lives marked by the fruit of the Spirit. When persecution comes, will we be found complacent—or consecrated?
In this message, Pastor John Conway continues the Set Apart series with a powerful reminder that being set apart doesn’t protect us from persecution. It prepares us for it. Through the story of Daniel, we see that faithfulness in the face of resistance reveals the depth of our devotion to God. Pastor John challenges believers to live quiet yet steadfast lives marked by conviction, prayer, and faith that stand firm when the world pushes back. What if persecution isn’t meant to break us, but to prove that our lives truly belong to Him?
Spiritual growth rarely happens overnight. It’s often a slow and refining process that takes place in seasons of waiting. In this message, Pastor Michael Chandler encourages believers to see the waiting not as wasted time, but as a vital part of God’s refining work. Through patience, perspective, and trust in God’s timing, we learn that what feels like delay is often divine preparation. Ultimately, God refines what He redeems, and His timing is always purposeful.
Following Jesus means more than simply securing eternity. It means surrendering our entire soul to the refining work of Christ. In this message, Pastor Miriam Wamer teaches that being set apart involves allowing God to purify our hearts, minds, and motives through the fire of trials, much like gold being refined to reveal its true worth. Believers are challenged to embrace refinement as an act of mercy and to see the fire not as punishment, but as the loving hand of a Father shaping us into His image.
What or who is truly in charge of your life? In a world full of distractions and modern-day idols, we can easily find ourselves worshiping things that were never meant to lead us. This message calls us back to the heart of true worship, a life fully surrendered, humble, and unashamed before God. Discover what it means to live set apart and to experience the transforming power of His presence. In this message, “Run to His Presence,” you’ll be challenged to pursue God wholeheartedly and embrace uninhibited worship that changes everything.
Communion isn’t just a ritual; it’s a reminder of who we are and how we’re called to live. At the table, we are one body, forgiven people who forgive, and deeply loved followers called to love others the same way. In this message, Rachael Wynne challenges us to reflect on Christ’s sacrifice, extend grace freely, and walk in the unity that sets God’s people apart.
Communion is more than a sacred meal. It’s a sacred posture that reflects how we live as believers. When we truly receive Christ, we’re empowered to release others through mercy and forgiveness. In this message, Pastor Mike Adkins challenges us to let go of pride, embrace God’s grace, and extend the same mercy we’ve been given.
Our hearts are like fields, and the quality of our soil determines the kind of harvest we produce. God calls us to live consecrated lives, preparing our hearts for His Word, while the Holy Spirit completes the work of sanctification. Through repentance, we soften the soil of our hearts and make room for truth, transformation, and spiritual growth. In this message, Pastor Aaron Kennedy challenges us to guard our hearts, fix our thoughts on what is pure, and allow God’s Word to take deep root that produces lasting fruit.
In this message, Pastors Sean & Lanette Reed teach that God gives each of us a “heavenly sketch” for our lives and marriages, a vision that requires agreement with Him and with each other. He reminds us that the vision is divine, but the action is ours as we adopt a unified mindset, seek God’s guidance in every decision, and allow His peace to rule in our hearts.
