In this message from Joe Dunn we explore what biblical accountability truly is—and what it is not. This is our final message in our series Family Matters—The Church: God’s Family that Lasts. Rather than judgment, pride, or legalism, accountability within God’s family is rooted in love, humility, and a desire to see one another restored. Scripture reminds us that all believers are accountable to God and called to support, encourage, and gently restore one another. Ultimately, the goal of biblical accountability is freedom from sin and a stronger, healthier family of faith.

In this sermon, Unity in the Family of God, we explore Jesus’ prayer for His followers to be one and Paul’s call for believers to live in harmony as members of God’s household. Drawing from John 17 and Romans 15, we discover why unity is essential for the church’s witness and spiritual strength. Listeners will be encouraged to pray for unity, pursue peace, and practice love in tangible ways that reflect Christ to the world. Together, we learn how a united church can do far more for the Kingdom than a divided one.

In this message from Family Matters: The Church – God’s Family That Lasts, we explore how God lovingly leads His family through Jesus Christ, the true head of the Church. Rooted in Ephesians 5:23, the sermon unpacks the three primary channels of Christ’s leadership: the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the leaders God calls to shepherd His people. Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of biblical leadership—pastors, elders, and overseers—and how godly character and Spirit-led guidance shape a healthy church family. Ultimately, this episode reminds us that while every church must be led, every church family must also joyfully cooperate with that leadership for God’s glory.

In Family Matters: Serving in the Family, Equipping Pastor Shane Harrington explores what it truly means to serve in the family through the lens of Galatians 5:13–15. Freedom in Christ isn’t a license for selfishness—it’s an invitation to love through service. Shane unpacks three powerful truths about freedom, love, and unity in God’s family, reminding us that love builds while selfishness destroys. Discover how to live out your freedom by serving others, building relationships, and living on mission together.

In Family Matters: The Family of God, Pastor PJ Noland shares how the Church is more than a gathering—it’s a family we’re called to belong to, not just believe in. Through fellowship, growth, and shared purpose, we reflect God’s design for His household. When each of us brings our best to the table, the Church becomes a living picture of God’s love and unity in action.

Many Christians have heard — and maybe even said — the phrase, “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” But what if that’s not actually true? In this message, Pastor PJ Noland unpacks 1 Corinthians 10:12–13 to reveal that God often allows us to face more than we can bear on our own — not to break us, but to draw us closer to Him. Discover how God’s faithfulness provides strength, escape, and purpose even in life’s overwhelming moments, teaching us to depend on His power rather than our own.

In this message, Student Pastor, Connor Alliston continues the series “Lies: Common Clichés Christians Believe” by addressing the phrase “God Gained Another Angel.” Together, we’ll explore why this comforting but unbiblical idea has taken root and what Scripture actually teaches about angels and eternity. Discover the real hope believers have—not in becoming angels, but in the promise of being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

In this message, Pastor PJ Noland reminds us that generosity isn’t about what’s in our wallets—it’s about what’s in our minds and hearts. Using 2 Corinthians 8:1–2, he challenges the “I can’t afford to give” mindset and calls us to trust that God can do more with our 90% and His blessing than we can with 100% on our own. When we give, we reflect the very heart of God—because love gives.

In this message, Pastor PJ Noland reminds us that forgiveness isn’t about forgetting, excusing, or being a doormat—it’s about freedom. Holding on to bitterness only poisons the heart, but choosing to forgive reflects the heart of God.

“I choose forgiveness because my great God has chosen to forgive me.”

In this episode, we continue our Movement Ready Church series, focusing on two common myths that hinder churches from fully living out their mission with Jesus—the Equipping Myth and the Empowerment Myth. Looking at Matthew 28, Ephesians 4, and 1 Corinthians 12, we’re reminded that the church isn’t just called to fill roles or offer teaching—it’s called to equip and empower people to use their God-given gifts for Kingdom impact. We’ll unpack why training requires more than just teaching, and how true empowerment comes not from filling spots, but from activating the Spirit’s potential in each believer.
