10 Year Celebration - Obedience

🙌 "More Than Saved" 🙌

The sermon unpacks what it means to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, defining it as an immersion—an overwhelming filling promised by Jesus (Matthew 3:11, Acts 1:5)—rather than a modern invention. This empowerment has a clear purpose: to make ordinary people witnesses for Christ, as stated in Acts 1:8. Rather than erasing a person's unique personality, background, or gifts, the Holy Spirit takes who believers already are and amplifies their capacity to represent Jesus in their everyday lives, whether in a public school classroom, a home, a business, or a neighborhood.

This transformation is beautifully illustrated by the apostle Peter, who went from denying Jesus in his own strength to boldly proclaiming Him before thousands after the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:2-4). Ultimately, the message calls believers to stop chasing fleeting spiritual experiences and instead surrender fully to the Person of the Holy Spirit. By saying a simple "yes" to God—even when we do not fully understand—we make ourselves available for the extraordinary power He provides to build His church and love the world around us.

🙌 "Meet The Holy Spirit" 🙌

What if the God who spoke light into darkness, parted seas, and raised Jesus from the dead actually wants to live *inside* you? Pastor Kathy opens a powerful new series by introducing the Holy Spirit not as a force or feeling to chase, but as a Person to know—one Jesus personally promised so we would never be orphaned or alone. Like Peter the fisherman who preached to thousands after Pentecost, ordinary people become extraordinary not by their own strength, but by surrendering to an extraordinary Spirit. Don't miss this transformative message—watch or listen now!

🙌 "You Mighty Man (or Woman) of Valor!" 🙌

This Sunday we explored Gideon's story—a guy who was hiding in fear, threshing wheat in a winepress, when God showed up and called him a "mighty man of valor."

Sound familiar? Ever felt stuck, defeated, or like you don't have what it takes?

Here's the truth: God chose you before the foundation of the world. You are His workmanship—His masterpiece—created for good works He prepared in advance just for YOU.

The way you see yourself isn't the way God sees you. 💙

💭 Better Together💭

What if you were never meant to walk this faith journey alone? Pastor Bob unpacks Acts 2:42–47 to reveal that the early church didn't just believe together—they *belonged* to one another, sharing meals, bearing burdens, and praying through life side by side. As Pastor Bob powerfully reminds us, "Iron sharpens iron"—and God uses real relationships to shape us into who He's calling us to be. Whether you're ready to join, open up, or simply show up, this message is your invitation to stop attending church and start *being* the Church. Don't miss it.

💭 One Encounter Changes Everything💭

What if your deepest doubts are actually an invitation rather than a disqualifier? Pastor Mike explores the story of Thomas—not "Doubting Thomas," but honest Thomas—whose shattered expectations after witnessing the crucifixion left him demanding proof before believing. When Jesus appeared and offered His wounded hands, Thomas responded with one of Scripture's greatest declarations: "My Lord and my God." Pastor Mike reminds us that Jesus never shamed Thomas's questions, and He won't shame yours either. Whatever disappointment has wounded your faith, don't miss this powerful message—it could change everything.
