What’s the burden you’ve been carrying? And what if Jesus invited you to trade it for something far better?

This weekend, Pastor John unpacks Jesus' invitation from Matthew 11:
“Come to me… Take my yoke upon you… Let me teach you.”

If you’re feeling worn out, overrun by control, busyness, or expectations, this message is for you.

Through 9 steps of spiritual freedom, we’ll explore how to trade the yoke of slavery for the light burden and true rest found in Christ.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about surrendering better.

Whether you're weighed down by life or just longing for peace, Jesus offers something better: partnership, purpose, and rest.

What happens after the breakthrough?

In this week’s message, Pastor John walks through Nehemiah 7–10, revealing how God's people responded after the wall was rebuilt. Instead of falling into comfort or complacency, they chose repentance, worship, and commitment.

This message calls us to reorganize our habits, resolve to obey, and stay dependent on God, not just in the crisis, but in the calm that follows.

Whether you're in a season of rebuilding, blessing, or recovery, God invites you to align your life with His Word, His house, and His work.

Victory isn’t just surviving the storm. It’s staying faithful after it.

What do you do when your best efforts are mocked, blocked, or misunderstood?

This week, Pastor John teaches from Nehemiah 6, showing how Nehemiah stayed focused on God’s purpose in the face of relentless distractions and critics. When you’re committed to a great project from God, whether it’s rebuilding a relationship, launching a ministry, or deepening your faith, you can expect opposition.

But like Nehemiah, you’re not alone.

Learn how to recite truth, pray for strength, and get back to work, even when fear, lies, or doubt try to pull you off track.

With scriptural encouragement from James, Philippians, Jeremiah, and more, this message will empower you to keep building what God has called you to, no matter what comes against you.

What if the seat you’ve been given wasn’t earned, but gifted by grace?

In this week’s Overlooked message, Carmel Location Pastor, Chris Maloney, walks us through the redemptive story of Mephibosheth, a man forgotten by the world but remembered by the King.

Drawing from 2 Samuel 9, this message reminds us that our brokenness doesn’t disqualify us, and our past doesn't define us. Just like Mephibosheth, we’re invited to sit at the King’s table, not because of our merit, but because of God's mercy.

Discover how grace restores what was lost, reclaims what was forgotten, and invites us into a new identity—loved, chosen, and welcomed.

You don't earn your seat. You're invited.

Subscribe and follow along as we move on to an exciting new sermon series next week.

How does faith get passed from one generation to the next? In this week’s message, Pastor Ron highlights Eunice and Lois—two often-overlooked women whose sincere faith shaped the life of Timothy and helped advance the Gospel.

Through scripture from 2 Timothy and Deuteronomy, we’ll discover that whether you’re a parent, grandparent, mentor, or spiritual sibling, you can help hand off a legacy of faith.

Like a relay race, passing the baton of belief isn’t just about what you say, it’s about living a faith that’s real, resilient, and rooted in love for God.

Be encouraged and challenged to lead the next generation with humility, grace, and consistency in everyday moments.

Does God really use someone unexpected to do something extraordinary? In week two of our Overlooked series, Pastor Ron shares the powerful and surprising story of Ehud, a left-handed man whom God used to bring deliverance to His people.

Through vivid passages from Judges 3 and reflections on Israel’s spiritual cycle, we’re reminded that God chooses the lowly, the different, and even the overlooked to carry out His mission.

This message invites us to consider: What if God wants to use the most overlooked parts of you?

Discover what it means to live with courage, purpose, and trust in the God who sees what the world overlooks.
