When culture strikes down a truth-teller, what do God’s people do?

The world promises happiness through self-focus, success, and comfort—but it never delivers lasting joy. In Acts 2, the early church experienced a deep gladness that couldn’t be shaken, even in the midst of challenges. In this message, Pastor Daniel Edwards unpacks four truths about biblical joy: it’s personal (found in Jesus), pure (a singular heart for Him), purpose-filled (serving in God’s mission), and perpetual (lasting forever in His presence).

Discover how the Holy Spirit replaces fake news about faith with the real, life-giving gladness that only comes from Christ.

📖 Scripture: Acts 2:40–47 | John 16:20–22 | Psalm 16

What if the presence of God has been with you all along—you just haven’t noticed? In this message from Genesis 28, Pastor Daniel Edwards unpacks Jacob’s life-changing realization: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” God’s presence isn’t something we strive to achieve—it’s already here, right where we are. Discover how to shift from striving to awareness and learn what it means to encounter the God who comes to us, not the other way around.

In this moving sermon, Pastor Eric draws a contrast between how David and Saul respond differently to confrontation over their sin. While Saul attempts to justify his actions, David acknowledges his sin and repents.

What if the key to revival isn't striving, but waiting—together? In this message from our Holy Spirit series, Pastor Daniel Edwards explores Acts 1 to uncover how the early church’s unity and desperation positioned them for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Learn why patient, prayerful waiting is not passive but powerful—and how we, too, can posture ourselves for a fresh move of God.
