In this episode, Pastor Kole walks us through Titus 2 explaining God's design for young women.

In this message, Pastor Kole continues the “Generations” series by exploring Titus 2:3 and God’s calling for mature women in the church. Scripture shows that maturity in Christ is marked by reverence in behavior and a heart devoted to discipling others.

Through practical teaching and biblical insight, Pastor Kole unpacks what it means to live a life that reflects the gospel — avoiding gossip and worldly distractions, modeling holiness, and investing in the next generation of women. You’ll be challenged to see that spiritual maturity isn’t about age but about influence — using your life to lead others to know and follow Jesus.

Whether you’re a young believer or a seasoned follower of Christ, this episode calls every listener to live out the Great Commission through godly example and intentional discipleship.

In this message from our Generations series, Pastor Kole unpacks God’s calling for mature men from Titus 2:2. Scripture paints a powerful picture of what spiritual maturity looks like — men who are sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, and sound in faith, love, and steadfastness.

This sermon reminds us that Christianity is not a spectator sport — every believer, young and old, has a role in God’s mission. Pastor Kole challenges men to rise above distraction and immaturity, to lead with clarity, conviction, and endurance. True manhood isn’t defined by age or success, but by a life transformed through Christ and grounded in His Word.

Whether you’re just beginning your walk with Christ or have followed Him for decades, this message will inspire you to live with spiritual strength and purpose.

In this message, Pastor Kole walks us through the moment Jesus calms the storm — a powerful reminder that we don’t have to be afraid because Jesus is Lord and He is with us. Through the disciples’ fear and Jesus’ response, we see the character of Christ revealed: His authority over creation, His humanity that understands our weakness, and His presence that brings peace.

When storms rise in our lives, we often doubt God’s care or control. But as this passage shows, even when the waves crash, Christ remains calm — inviting us to trust His character rather than our circumstances.

Join us as we learn how Jesus leads us into storms not to harm us, but to strengthen our faith, deepen our trust, and remind us that He never leaves our side.

This Sunday, we heard a message from our Lead Pastor, Scott Yirka, who joined us from our Hibernia location. Pastor Scott guided us through Matthew 6:25–34 with a powerful message titled “Anxiety in Our Life.” He reminded us that we have a Father who cares, a purpose that matters, and a future where God is. Through this passage, we were encouraged to trust in God’s faithful provision, live with kingdom purpose, and rest in the peace that comes from knowing He holds our future.

In this message from Luke 12:13–21, Pastor Kole unpacks Jesus’ parable of the rich fool and reminds us that life is more than possessions. While the world teaches us to chase wealth and security through material things, Jesus calls us to guard our hearts from greed and find true contentment in Him. Through three key movements—the problem, the principle, and the parable—this sermon exposes how greed blinds us to eternity and how the gospel frees us to live generously. When Christ becomes our greatest treasure, we stop serving money and start using it to serve God’s kingdom.

In this episode, we conclude our series on the Holy Spirit by looking at one of His greatest works in the church—unity. From Ephesians 4:1–6, we explore how God calls His people from every background into one body and how we are called to live in a way that reflects that unity. Pastor Kole unpacks how unity is kept through our calling, our conduct, and our confession, showing that true fellowship is rooted in both love and truth.

On Sunday, Pastor Kole encouraged everyone to send in their questions about spiritual gifts. One question that came in was this: What is the difference between prophecy and prompting? Tune in to hear how prophecy functioned in the early church, how it differs from prompting, and why understanding the distinction matters for our walk with Christ.

What role did the miraculous gifts of healing, prophecy, and tongues play in the early church? In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 12:8–10, 28–30, Pastor Kole Thomas shows how these sign gifts served as God’s way of confirming the gospel message and laying a firm foundation for the New Testament church. Today, we’re called to build on that foundation by faithfully using the gifts God has given us to strengthen His people and glorify Christ.

In this message from our Knowing the Spirit series, we continue exploring the gifts of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12:8–10, 28–30. Every believer has been given a unique gift for the purpose of building up the church and glorifying God. Too often, comparison and confusion cause us to miss the joy of serving where God has placed us. In this sermon, we define several of the spiritual gifts—such as teaching, exhortation, faith, generosity, and mercy—and discuss how they work together in the life of the church. You’ll also learn practical steps for discovering and using your own spiritual gifts: praying for clarity, serving faithfully, and seeking confirmation from mature leaders. God has designed every member of the body of Christ with purpose—there are no “B team” Christians. Listen in and be encouraged to find your place, know your gifting, and use it to build up the church and advance the mission of Christ.
