Are you living a "watery" faith?In this Sunday's message, Pastor Allen Fernandez dives into what it means to build your life on a foundation that actually holds. Using everything from structural engineering to a late-night plumbing disaster, we explore why our connection to Jesus (The Vine) determines our strength in the "winter" seasons of life.In this video, you’ll learn:Why the "materials" of your faith matter more than you think.The difference between being a "lukewarm" believer and a "fully brewed" follower of Christ.Why you weren't meant to carry your burdens or fix your "leaks" alone.Scripture References:John 15:4-5 (Abiding in the Vine)Matthew 5:13 (Salt of the Earth)Romans 12 (Renewing of the Mind)Galatians 5 (Fruits of the Spirit)

Are you just watching church, or are you being the church?

In this powerful message kicking off our new series, "Being the Bridge," Pastor Mike Klump tackles a critical issue facing the body of Christ today: the struggle with true engagement. It’s easy to connect online, but are we truly engaging in the community God designed for us?

Pastor Mike dives into Hebrews 10, challenging us to move from being passive spectators to active participants in God’s Kingdom. We explore why gathering together isn't just a suggestion—it's a spiritual safeguard against drifting away. If you have been making excuses, feeling spiritually "disabled," or waiting for a title before you serve, this message is your wake-up call.

God has given you direct access to Him through Jesus, and He has called you to live out that faith in community. It’s time to discover your gifts, get to work, and become an agent of engagement.

In this sermon, you will learn:

• Why the shift from the Levitical system means we must engage in community.

• The spiritual dangers of isolating yourself from the church body.

• How to transition from a "disabled spectator" to an "enabled participator."

• Why your leadership and service matter, regardless of your title.

• Practical steps to devote yourself to doctrine, fellowship, and prayer (Acts 2:42).

Let's get to work!

Why are we called to be generous? It’s not just about following rules; it’s about responding to the ultimate example set by our Creator.In the finale of our "Pay It Forward" series, Pastor Mike Klump delivers a powerful message titled "The God Who Gives." Shifting focus from human generosity to divine grace, Pastor Mike explores the depth of John 3:16-17 to show how God gave radically and sacrificially to a world that didn't deserve it.This message breaks down the difference between transactional love and God's unconditional "agape" love. You will learn why God doesn't always give you what you want, but always provides exactly what you need to sustain you spiritually.If you have ever questioned God's provision or struggled to extend grace to difficult people, this sermon offers Biblical encouragement and four practical steps to model God's scandalous generosity in your own life.Scripture References:John 3:16-17Ephesians 2:8Matthew 7:9-112 Corinthians 9:8Start paying it forward today by receiving the fullness of what God has already given you!

What is true community? It’s more than just living in the same apartment complex or neighborhood. In Week 3 of our series, "Paying Forward," we move from talking about being a good neighbor to understanding what it means to be the Community of God.Looking at the early church in Acts 2:42-45, we see a picture of community that goes far beyond Sunday morning attendance. It was a community birthed by the Holy Spirit, multicultural, and facing challenges together. It was a community defined by radical devotion and sacrificial generosity.In this message, "Generosity That Builds Community," we explore how the early believers didn't just share words of love; they shared their lives, their possessions, and their burdens.Key takeaways from this message: Foundational scripture: Acts 2:42-45, 1 John 3:16-18, Galatians 6:2The Meaning of Devotion: True commitment isn't occasional; it is persistent commitment, habitual action, and a willing submission of priority to God.All for One and One for All: Just as Jesus gave His all for us, we are called to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. Generosity isn't just about money—it’s offering your skills, time, and energy when you see a need.You Don't Carry It Alone: We fulfill the law of Christ when we carry one another's burdens. Pride prevents us from asking for help, but community requires vulnerability.Moving from Consumer to Contributor: Are you just receiving from the community, or are you practicing hospitality and giving back?It’s time to stop trying to fit into the world's definition of community and start living out God's definition.

In this powerful message, Pastor Mike dives into the Parable of the Good Samaritan to challenge our definition of generosity. It’s not just about what is in your wallet—it’s about what is in your heart and how you spend your time. If you’ve ever felt the tug to do more but felt held back by your schedule or your comfort, this sermon is for you.Join us on Sundays at 10 AM EST at live.greaterimpactchurch.org

In this sermon, Pastor Mike reframes generosity as a holistic act of worship that encompasses our time, skills, and talents, rather than just our finances. He explains that true generosity flows from a heart of gratitude for God’s ultimate gift—Jesus—and should never be motivated by obligation, social status, or transactional gain. By confronting the "scarcity mindset"—the fear that we lack the resources to give—we can trust that God is the source of all things and that sowing generously leads to a spiritual harvest. This message invites you to examine your "heart temperature," identify the unique "seeds" God has entrusted to you, and take a faith-filled step toward becoming a cheerful giver.

New Year, New U?

Tired of the "New Year, Same Me" trap? You're not alone. We make lists—eat better, save money, work harder—but miss what actually matters: your faith.

Pastor Laura's message shows you why real change isn't about fixing yourself. It's about becoming brand new in Christ.

Four Game-Changing Shifts:

1. New Creation, Not Self-Help — Trying harder doesn't work.
2. Inside-Out Renewal — Change your mind, change your life (Romans 12:2).
3. Leave the Past Behind — Break free from old patterns.
4. Step Into Your Purpose — Walk into what God has for you in 2026.

Pastor Mike’s message focused on the fundamental question Jesus asked His disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" He explored the difference between seeing Jesus through a "worldly lens", focused on politics, earthly titles, and temporary comfort—and seeing Him as the eternal Messiah. The core of the message emphasized that true peace is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Jesus Christ. By shifting our focus from the "size of our storm" to the "size of our God," we can maintain a secure peace through justification by faith and daily repentance.

You’re exhausted—not because you don’t have faith,
but because you’re carrying weight God never asked you to carry.

Peace was never meant to crush you.
Jesus already carried the weight so you wouldn’t have to.

If you’ve been trying to hold everything together,
this message is for you.

It’s time to release what isn’t yours and trust the Prince of Peace.

If the holiday season feels more like a season of mourning or loss than a celebration, you aren't alone. In Week 2 of our Prince of Peace series, Pastor Mike Klump shares a powerful word for the brokenhearted.

Whether you are grieving a loved one, a job, a relationship, or the loss of hope, this message is a reminder that broken doesn’t mean forgotten.

• A Divine Appointment: You didn't find this by accident; God has a word of comfort for you today.

• Near to the Brokenhearted: Discover why God is often closest to us when we feel the most crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).

• Comforted for a Purpose: How God uses our healing to eventually help and comfort others.
