In this message, we explore the power of being seen through the story of Hagar in Genesis 16—a woman cast aside, mistreated, and running from pain. Just like Maya Angelou, whose healing began when someone truly saw her, Hagar encountered God in the wilderness as El Roi, the God who sees. Her story reminds us that while where we come from matters, where we are going matters more, and when we choose God’s direction, He brings purpose out of our pain. No matter how invisible or broken we feel, God sees us, hears us, and we are never alone.

A message about hearing God personally speak to you through the story of Paul in Acts 16.

Your life, like wet cement, takes the shape of whatever you pour it into. First, we’re called to pour ourselves into God’s purpose by answering His call and getting to work. Second, we must let Him shape us, avoiding temporary pursuits that misshape our lives. Finally, we need to cure by trusting His promise to bless us as we remain faithful, even when progress feels slow. When you pour yourself into God’s design, you become who He created you to be.

Talking about sowing seeds and when you so in tears you reap with joy - you always reap what you sow you always reap more then you sow and and you always reap later then you sow

In the second message of our BUILD series, we explored how even the strongest material (like concrete) needs reinforcement to endure pressure and shifting. Spiritually, we are the same—no matter how much potential we carry, our faith becomes vulnerable when disconnected from the reinforcing strength of the Church. God designed the Church to hold us together, strengthen us, and help us stand firm when life pulls us apart.

In the first message of our BUILD series, we learned that God desires to build something strong, lasting, and life-giving in us and through us—but it starts with the right foundation. Before we can build anything upward, we must dig downward. That means removing what doesn’t belong, going deeper in our connection to God, and obeying what He’s already said.

Look at the setting of Jesus Feeding the 5000 in Matthew 14, and how it helps to give insight into experiences we face while following Jesus. This includes simultaneous realities of grief and glory, the practical and miraculous, and faithfulness and faith."

When something wildly improbable happens once, we call it luck. Twice, maybe coincidence. But again and again, with perfect precision? That demands a deeper explanation. In Jesus, we don’t just see a good man or a wise teacher—we see over 300 specific prophecies written centuries before His birth foreshadowed and fulfilled. This isn’t chance. It’s divine design. It’s not just about proving a point—it’s about revealing a person.

This message highlights how Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, fulfilled ancient prophecies through His sacrificial death. From Exodus to Isaiah, every shadow pointed to the cross. His blood didn’t just cover sin—it conquered it. We’re invited to not just remember the cross, but to respond to it with our lives.

In this message, we looked at Zechariah’s prophecy about a humble King riding into Jerusalem and how Jesus fulfilled it exactly, down to the donkey. Just like Kirk Gibson’s unexpected home run in 1988, Jesus came through in the clutch. But the story isn't finished—He’s coming back. If you're keeping score, that's two for two and He's still batting a thousand!
