Access Church Weekend Messages

In the midst of incredible persecution, boldness in his faith was one of the Apostle Paul's final instructions to Timothy. Knowing the power of the Gospel, Paul wanted to ensure that Timothy wouldn't be ashamed to speak about Christ. In our lives, Paul would say the very same thing, and in this message we discuss how to overcome some of the persecution we'll face when we choose to be bold for God.

We all want peace in our own hearts. Anxiety, depression, fear in our relationships - these are things that keep us from peace. While there are many reasons for these emotions, unforgiveness can be the silent culprit for many of us. In this message, we talk about how to check this "forgiveness" thing off our bucket list and finally experience the peace we want from God.

As different and unique as we all are, there's one thing we have in common. We all want to have peace with God. We may not use those words, but by the time we live our last day, it's on every one of our bucket lists. In this Easter message, we discuss how Jesus is the only way for us to experience a relationship with God filled with peace.

Have you ever wanted to invent something that would revolutionize an industry? Have you ever given to charities fighting hunger or human trafficking? How about spending time mentoring kids in your community? While all of these are amazing things to be a part of, God tells us that only one thing makes an eternal difference. In this message, we take a look at God's mission for His followers and how we can practically start to live that out.

Parents today seem to have a desire to the best parents possible, far more than any generation previously. We see their heart for their kids play out in so many different situations and scenarios. However, in the quest for being the best parent possible, some have sacrifice health for happiness, and needs for wants. In this message, we talk about the ultimate goal of parenting and how to achieve it according to the Bible.

Much like the turbo on an engine, or Google Maps on our phones, the Holy Spirit only makes a difference when he's active in our lives. Throughout this series, we've talked about everything the Holy Spirit brings to us, and in the final message we talk about how His presence comes alive in us.

Last week, we discovered that the Holy Spirit's purpose is to comfort and counsel us. He gives us strength on the inside and magnifies the Father in our lives. However, the Holy Spirit doesn't just empower us for our own good. This week we read about the spiritual gifts He gives to each follower of Christ in order to benefit the good of everyone in the church.

Christianity isn't just a religion - it's a relationship with our Heavenly Father. Jesus made that possible through His sacrifice, but the very purpose of the Holy Spirit is to bring the presence of God into our lives. He is called Counselor, Advocate, Comforter, and in this message we discover how the Holy Spirit's purpose plays out in a variety of ways.

A breath? An energy? A mystical force? A ghost? The Holy Spirit brings to mind different imagery for each of us. It seems as if the Holy Spirit is the "Forgotten God" and there's so much confusion and chaos about this third member of the Trinity. In this message, we aim to answer the question, "Who is the Holy Spirit?"

In culture, we are taught to question authority. In Christianity, we are taught to submit. The two simply don't mix. As we wrap up this series, we talk about what it looks like for us to live out this principle in all aspects of our lives, but especially in the "local church" context that fulfills the mission of God.
