Restore | Joel | Week 3 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
God does not simply want to repair your circumstances; He wants to make you completely new. In this conclusion to our series through the book of Joel, Associate Pastor Bobby walks through Joel 2:28-32 and explores how God pours out His Spirit on all flesh. Spiritual renewal goes deeper than trying harder or modifying behavior under our own strength. True transformation happens when we daily receive the Holy Spirit, step into full surrender, and allow God to fill us with His presence, power, and
Restore | Joel | Week 2 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you find yourself stuck in a spiritual wasteland where God feels silent, it can be easy to lose heart. In this second message of our series through the book of Joel, we explore how God responds when His people return to Him.

Through Jesus' teaching on clear commitments in Matthew 5 and the warning of the Great Banquet in Luke 14, we are challenged to stop making excuses and start prioritizing eternal work. Big Idea: Make time for
Urgent Time | Redeeming Time | Week 4 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It can be very easy to face the future with a false confidence in our own plans and abilities. When we do this, we put ourselves at the center of time instead of God. In this message from the Redeeming Time series, we explore James 4 to uncover the difference between our ambitions and true spiritual urgency. You will hear why trusting in our own accomplishments is a sin rooted in pride and why knowing what we ought to do and not doing it rots the soul. If you have been procrastinating on the wor
