A message from the series “Resilient Faith.” In the first message of our “Resilient Faith” series, we’re introduced to Daniel’s story and the context of the world he was living in. By evaluating the harsh spiritual landscape he found himself in, Pastor Christian challenges us to draw parallels to our own lives, rather than our current culture, to identify areas where we may need to grow and rely on God more deeply. Additionally, we find hope through Daniel’s example that our faith, our character, and our behaviors still matter in today’s world.

A message from the series “Unbelievable!

A message from the series “How We Change the World.” In the final message of our “How We Change the World” series, Pastor Christian reminds us that we have the power of the Holy Spirit to accomplish God’s mission for us—to be disciples who make disciples.

Finally, the message ends with an overview of seven spiritual “supplements” we can bring to the table, as well as a reminder to be fruitful and effective in our work as disciple-makers.

A message from the series “Standalone Messages.” In this powerful message from guest pastor Vance Pitman, we learn how God’s plan to accomplish His work has always been to do it through us, His people.

Pastor Vance closes with five key thoughts about accepting God’s invitation to join His activity.
