The life of a disciple is not an individual pursuit but a shared journey rooted in community. This isn't about religious routine it's about a transformative, life-on-life walk with Jesus and others. Pastor Kevin Myers draws a powerful parallel to the Israelites' pilgrimage to Jerusalem, reminding us that the life of faith is one of steady ascent toward God. As we follow this path, we're invited to let God shape us through generosity, worship, and shared spiritual growth.

The Songs of Ascent illustrates how discipleship is a lifelong journey of walking with God. As we reflect, we're invited to examine whether we're truly committed to the way of Jesus-or settling for something more comfortable. In returning to the heart of discipleship, we rediscover the joy and purpose we were made for. Pastor Ryan explores the essence of true discipleship through the lens of Acts 2, reminding us that following Jesus isn't about convenience, but deep devotion.

In this week's Leadership Lesson, Pastor Ryan Schlachter shares 5 practical tips to help define success and wins in leadership.

Doubt in our faith journey is often a misunderstood concept. When looking at the story of Thomas in John 20, we discover that doubt isn't the enemy of faith, but rather a catalyst for deeper belief. Our doubts often reveal our true desire for God, and that he does not neglect our questions and uncertainties, but actually welcomes them. Thomas' story encourages us to keep pursuing God and his mission even when we don't have all the answers, remembering that Jesus promised to be with us always. This perspective shift on doubt can revolutionize our approach to faith, allowing us to embrace our questions as part of our growth rather than feeling ashamed or discouraged by them. In this week's Manhattan message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter challenges us to see doubt as a tool that can strengthen our faith when we bring it to God and our community.

In our daily lives, doubt can actually be a gateway to faith by becoming an element to deeper trust and intimacy with God. The story of 'Doubting Thomas' in John 20 teaches us that Jesus meets us in our uncertainties with compassion and understanding. Instead of letting doubt construct walls between us and God, Thomas' story challenges us to bring our doubts openly to him. In this Sunday's Brooklyn message, Pastor Amy Perez illustrates how God's delays are often intentional, designed to grow our faith and reveal His glory. As we navigate our own doubts, we're invited to trust in God's mindfulness of us, remembering that He hears our every prayer and cares deeply for our struggles.

As we celebrate Easter Sunday, Pastor Ryan Schlachter looks forward to how we as leaders can continue to grow and minister to God and others around us.

The empty tomb speaks volumes, even in its silence. This Easter message invites us to explore the profound implications of Christ's resurrection. The rolled-away stone wasn't just for Jesus to exit, but for us to enter and witness the miracle. This empty tomb declares that death is defeated, sin is conquered, and hope is alive. It's not just a historical fact, but a living reality that transforms our present and future. The resurrection offers us a new life—not just an improved version of our old selves, but a completely new creation. It challenges us to die to our old ways and embrace the abundant life Jesus promises. In this Sunday's message, Pastor Ryan Schlachter invites us to consider: How does the empty tomb speak to our current struggles? Are we living in the newness of life Christ offers, or clinging to our old selves?
