Who was in the room before the Church began? In Week 1 of Build the House, Amy Perez looks at Acts 1 and the ordinary people gathered in the upper room. As they waited for God's promise, they were gathered and available, discipled and formed, empowered and sent. This message reminds us that God builds His Church through ordinary people who make room for Him.

Temptation is something every believer will face, but it does not have to define us. In this message, we explore Jesus' prayer, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," and discover how God uses trials, testing, and even our weaknesses to form deeper dependence on Him. Through the example of Jesus and the promise of redemption, we are reminded that our story does not end in temptation but in transformation. Listen to this encouraging message and be reminded that God's grace is greater than any struggle you face.

Why do we feel the need to hide our failures, earn God's approval, or punish ourselves when we fall short? In Seen and Still Clothed, Pastor Olu explores the difference between self-righteousness and the righteousness that comes through Christ.

This message is an invitation to step out of shame, stop performing, and confidently receive the grace that has been made available through faith.

What does righteousness actually look like in everyday life? In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks unpacks how righteousness is less about religious performance and more about right relationship with God and others.

This week Pastor Kevin Myers teaches on "The Flow of Forgiveness" and the freedom that comes when we surrender offense, bitterness, and shame to Jesus. Through Scripture, we see that forgiveness is not weakness but the pathway to living fully alive in God's grace and unrestricted love.

What do you do when you feel stuck and out of options? In this message, Pastor Josh Kelsey walks through the story of four lepers in 2 Kings 6 and 7 to show how God meets us in impossible situations. "The Gate, The Camp, The City" is a powerful reminder to stop calling paralysis patience, stop trying to earn what Jesus has already finished, and freely give away the grace you have received. If you feel stuck, spiritually hungry, or unsure of your next step, this message will encourage you to trust God and move forward in faith.

In this message, Pastor Kathryn Myers unpacks how Jesus moved us from a courtroom of accusation to a table of belonging. Through His atoning work and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are no longer defined by shame, but by the freedom and security of being God's sons and daughters.

At ALL IN, Brittany shared a powerful message on the access we've been given through Jesus. Through Hebrews and the tearing of the veil, we're reminded that we are not distant from God, but invited boldly into His presence with authority, freedom, and confidence.

In Brooklyn, Mike walked us through the tension between settling for what feels good and stepping into what God is actually inviting us into, something greater. Through Saul in 1 Samuel 13 and Saul who becomes Paul in Acts 9, we see two different responses to God. God is not just calling us to believe in Him, but to be filled, empowered, and willing to move when He speaks.

In this message, Pastor Kevin shares in Manhattan that even when life feels uncertain or overwhelming, it's not the end of the story. Jesus promises that His Spirit would live in us, not just to comfort us, but to form us. As we wrestle with our own patterns, questions, and limitations, we're invited into a deeper trust and loyalty to Him. There is more in you not because of your own strength, but because God Himself is at work within you.
