Week 1 of our Culture Shift series, Michael Page walks us through Acts 2 and Colossians 3, showing us what it looks like to live out the culture of community as the Church. From the very beginning, God designed His people to live life together—sharing burdens, growing together, pursuing unity, and centering their lives around the mission of making disciples. Community is more than simply gathering in the same room; it’s choosing to live on mission together and recognizing that every person has a place and a purpose within the body of Christ. As we embrace a culture of community, we become a church that is alive, active, and equipped to carry the gospel into our neighborhoods, our city, and the nations.

Week 23 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 18:10–14, where Jesus reveals the heart of the Good Shepherd through the parable of the lost sheep. In this powerful passage, Jesus reminds us that every person matters deeply to God and that His desire is not for even one of His children to be lost. As followers of Christ, we're called to reflect that same heart by pursuing those who have wandered, restoring those who have fallen, and valuing every person as someone loved by the Father. Rather than celebrating condemnation, the Church is called to rejoice in restoration, carrying the ministry of reconciliation that Christ has entrusted to us. In every season, Jesus invites us to pursue others with grace, fight for unity, and reflect the relentless love of the Shepherd who never stops seeking the one.

Week 22 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 18:1–9, where Jesus answers His disciples' question about who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven by placing a child in their midst. Through this powerful teaching, Jesus reveals that true greatness is found not in status or recognition, but in humility, dependence on God, and a heart that reflects His own. As we follow Jesus, we're reminded to lay down pride, value those around us, and take sin seriously, recognizing its impact on ourselves and others. In every season, Christ calls us to embrace childlike faith, walk in humble obedience, and trust that life in His Kingdom is shaped by surrender rather than self-promotion.

Week 21 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 17:24–27, where Jesus addresses the temple tax by reminding His disciples of His true identity as the Son of God. Although Jesus is not obligated to pay the tax, He willingly chooses humility over asserting His rights, instructing Peter to miraculously find a coin in a fish's mouth to cover the payment for them both. Through this moment, we're reminded that Jesus perfectly balances truth and grace, never compromising who He is while choosing to love and serve others. As we follow Christ, we're challenged to lay down our own rights when it helps remove unnecessary obstacles to the gospel, trusting that God will faithfully provide everything we need as we walk in humble obedience.

Week 20 of our Kingdom Code series, Jordan Thigpen walks us through Matthew 17:14–20, where Jesus heals a demon-possessed boy after His disciples are unable to. Through this powerful encounter, Jesus exposes the disciples' lack of faith while demonstrating that true faith is not about its size, but about the One in whom it is placed. As we follow Jesus, we're reminded that we cannot live the Christian life in our own strength. Instead, we're called to depend fully on Christ, trusting His power to accomplish what we never could on our own. Even in our weakness and failure, Jesus patiently invites us to grow in faith, fixing our eyes on Him and believing that nothing is impossible with God.

Week 19 of our Kingdom Code series, Masun Womble walks us through Matthew 17:1–13, where Jesus is transfigured before Peter, James, and John, revealing a glimpse of His divine glory. As Moses and Elijah appear beside Him, the Father speaks from heaven, declaring, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” This powerful moment reminds us that Jesus is not simply a teacher or prophet—He is the Son of God, worthy of our full attention, trust, and obedience. As we continue to grow as disciples, we’re challenged to fix our eyes on Christ, listen to His voice above all others, and follow Him with confidence, knowing that even as He walked toward the cross, His glory and victory were never in question.

Week 18 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 16:21, where Jesus begins to reveal His mission to His disciples—that He must suffer, be killed, and be raised to life on the third day. Though this truth was difficult for the disciples to understand, Jesus makes it clear that God's plan of redemption would come through the cross. This passage reminds us that following Jesus means trusting His purposes even when they don't align with our expectations. As we continue to grow as disciples, we're called to surrender our own plans, embrace His will, and find hope in the victory of His resurrection. We also celebrated an incredible Sunday as 25 people publicly declared their faith through baptism—a powerful reminder that lives are still being transformed as people choose to follow Jesus.

Week 17 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 16:13–20, where Jesus asks His disciples one of the most important questions ever posed: "Who do you say that I am?" As Peter boldly declares that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of the living God, we're reminded that true faith is built on a personal revelation of who Jesus is. This passage challenges us to move beyond secondhand opinions and confidently place our trust in Christ's identity and authority. Through Peter's confession, Jesus reveals the foundation of His Church and the power of a faith that recognizes Him as King. This message encourages us to know Jesus personally, boldly proclaim our faith, and live as people who have been entrusted with the mission of His Kingdom.

Week 16 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 16:1–12, where Jesus confronts the unbelief of the Pharisees and Sadducees and warns His disciples to beware of the “leaven” of false teaching. Through this passage, we're reminded that a hardened heart can miss what God is doing even when the evidence is right in front of us. Jesus challenges us to remember God's faithfulness, trust His provision, and guard our hearts against influences that pull us away from the truth. This message encourages us to live with spiritual discernment, steadfast faith, and eyes that are attentive to God's work in our lives.

Week 15 of our Kingdom Code series, Michael Page walks us through Matthew 15:29–39, where Jesus ministers to a crowd that has been following Him for days and miraculously feeds four thousand people with just a few loaves and fish. Through this powerful account, we're reminded that Jesus not only has compassion for our spiritual needs but also cares deeply about our everyday needs. This message encourages us to trust God's provision, bring Him what we have, and believe that He can do more with our surrender than we could ever accomplish on our own. Even when resources seem limited, God's abundance is more than enough.
