Pastor Tony’s message, “Who Is This Man?”, centered on the identity, purpose, and power of Jesus Christ. Drawing from Matthew 1:21, he reminded us that Jesus came with a clear mission—to save His people from their sins. Through the joyful cries of the crowd in John 12 and the prophetic words of Isaiah 9, we see Jesus not only as a King but as our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace. Pastor Tony emphasized three key themes: Mission, Mercy, and Miracles, showing that Jesus fulfilled His divine purpose with compassion and power. Ultimately, in John 19, Jesus declared “It is finished,” completing His mission of redemption and sealing our hope through His sacrifice.

Pastor Brian’s message from yesterday centered on the importance of seeking God’s presence and being willing to separate from distractions in order to fully pursue Him. Drawing from Exodus 33:7-11, he highlighted how Moses would isolate himself in the "tent of meeting" to encounter God, emphasizing that isolation can sometimes be necessary for spiritual separation. Pastor Brian pointed out that many desire God's presence but are unwilling to pay the personal price it requires, using Joshua as an example of someone who stayed in the tent to pursue God's presence at all costs. He concluded by stressing that God’s presence is meant to be at the center of our lives, and as believers, we are now carriers of His glory through Jesus Christ, who has granted us full access to God.

Pastor Tony's message yesterday focused on the life of Joseph, illustrating how God's purpose unfolds through trials and triumphs. Using Genesis 37, he highlighted Joseph's dreams and the jealousy they sparked in his brothers, leading to betrayal and hardship. The six stages of a dream—I thought it, I caught it, I bought it, I sought it, I got it, I taught it—mapped Joseph's journey from the pit to the palace, emphasizing perseverance and faith. Despite being sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, and forgotten, Joseph remained steadfast, trusting God's plan. In Genesis 41, we see God's favor elevate Joseph to a position of power, fulfilling the very dreams that once brought him trouble. Pastor Tony reminded us that, like Joseph, we may face pits and prisons in life, but God is always working behind the scenes, turning what was meant for evil into good, as seen in Genesis 50:20.

Pastor Kaci’s message emphasized that while conflict in relationships is inevitable, how we handle it determines the outcome. Rooted in Matthew 22:37-39, she reminded us that loving God and others is our highest calling. She encouraged inviting God into our conflicts, having courageous conversations, listening intently, and choosing kindness. Drawing from James 1:19, she stressed the importance of being quick to listen and slow to anger. Instead of focusing on winning arguments, she challenged us to seek reconciliation and win hearts, trusting that when we handle conflict God’s way, He brings peace (Proverbs 16:7).
