Ian Thornton shares a powerful message on one of our core values which is to live a life of worship that the Father is seeking - in Spirit and in truth. We dive directly into John 4 and explore the beautiful desire and longing of God to receive us through the power of Holy Spirit and with total honesty with nothing hidden. It's time to put away performance and the tendency for hiding the ugly parts from God, when all he has asked is that we come before Him with all that we are.

One of our elders, Steve Elliott, ties up our Royal Priesthood Series with a bow as he identifies what Big House as a people really is - a dwelling place for God. He reminds us that each of us are a living stone added to the building of this house, but also THE house of God - His body, His church, His dwelling place.

Heinrich Titus of Shofar Christian Church in South Africa joined us this Sunday to beautifully complete our Royal Priesthood Sermon Series this fall. With joyful encouragement, he took us to the place that will be our final destination every day - the feet of Jesus. He shows us as priests what it looks like to carry things on our heart before God, but never forsake returning to our place of need for Jesus and His beautiful light and easy yoke.

As we finish our series on the Royal Priesthood, Pastor Matt Ruckel invites our new Outreach Directors, Josh and Ashley Pope, to share their testimony of how God has sent them into the Harvest from a place of priesthood. Filled with dreams, prophetic words, and confirmations, the journey that the Lord has had the Pope family on is one of radical transformation. May your hearts be stirred to give Him your "Yes" to wherever he is calling you to.

Pastor Matt Ruckel brings us into the "practicals" of what it looks like to be a priest of God in our everyday lives. It's important to build a life around God and not the other way around. Pastor Matt takes us through the steps of creating a priestly PLACE, a priestly PACE, and developing a priestly PICTURE with Holy Spirit, so that our lives look more like a living sacrifice and temple of the Lord rather than any human with good intentions. Listen, be encouraged, and then go dream and practice these things with God! He's worthy.

Fresh off his sabbatical, Pastor Ian Thornton continues our series on the Royal Priesthood by diving into the history of biblical priesthood, and contrasting it with what personal priesthood looks like for us. Our perception of royalty and priesthood may be skewed by images of ancient priests and even modern royalty, but we are called to imitate Jesus, our Great High Priest King. May our hearts be encouraged in our royal priestly calling through this word.

A friend of the house from South Africa, Louis Kotzé, continues our series by diving into what it means to be consecrated unto the Lord and how to approach the communion table through that lens. Consecration may seem like a weighty word, but it begins with the simple revelation that your life is not your own, and every time we partake in communion, we are recommitting ourselves to Him. May this word encourage your heart as you walk in consecration.

Scripture tells us that we are more than believers—we are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, set apart to carry God’s presence into every part of life (1 Peter 2:9). Pastor Matt Ruckel begins this new series that was born out of a revelation in Acts 13 where the believers were not simply singing songs, they were ministering to the Lord as priests. Join us throughout the month of October as we practically dive into this revelation, expecting the Lord to transform the outlook of our everyday lives.

Pastor Matt Ruckel continues in Ephesians 4, talking about the importance of having the mind of Christ, and aligning ourselves with HIS truth.
