What kind of story is your life telling? When we encounter the powerful reality of Jesus, it changes our narrative completely. In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Acts 4:1-22, exploring the boldness of Peter and John as they stood before the religious council.

Even when faced with opposition, their lives and words clearly pointed back to one ultimate truth: “There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Tune in as we challenge ourselves to live a story completely anchored in the power and name of Jesus Christ.

📌 Key Scripture Reference:

Acts 4:1-22 (NLT) – The boldness of Peter and John before the Temple guard and the council.

In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into a crucial question for our everyday lives: "What’s Right In Front Of You?" Life moves in cycles, and as Ecclesiastes 3:1 reminds us, "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." But how we handle the current season and the exact responsibilities God has placed right in front of us matters more than we think.

Pastor Tim unpacks a fundamental truth of spiritual maturity: How you handle something is how you’ll handle everything. Looking closely at Luke 16:10-12, we learn that faithfulness isn't qualified by the size of the assignment, but by the integrity of our stewardship. If we are trustworthy with the little things, God can trust us with the true riches of heaven.

Are you fully present and faithful with what God has given you today? Tune in to discover how stepping into your current assignment prepares you for your next season.

Unity On Purpose | Why a Divided World Needs a United Church

A divided world doesn’t need more conflict—it needs to see a united Church. In this message, we dive into Jesus’ high priestly prayer in John 17, where He prays a definitive prayer for His followers: “May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me.”

Unity isn't something that happens by accident; it requires an intentional shift in perspective. When we realize that our faith is no longer just about us, we stop letting foolish discussions, envy, and pride divide us. Instead, we align ourselves under one common banner:

🎯 ONE Agenda

📖 ONE Standard

⛪ ONE Church

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the division in the culture around you, this message is a timely reminder of what a healthy, Christ-centered community is supposed to look like. Satan fights our unity because he knows it reflects the very heart and intention of God. Let’s discover how we can lock arms and live United on Purpose.

What do you truly value, and how is it shaping the trajectory of your life?

In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Matthew 6 to unpack how our underlying values drive our daily decisions, dictate our direction, and ultimately determine our destiny. By examining the true definition of spiritual value, we find that when what we value finally aligns with what God values, He faithfully takes care of the rest.

📖 Key Scriptures Covered:

*Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV): "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

*James 2:15-20 (NLT): Faith without good deeds is dead and useless.

*Matthew 6:25, 31-33 (NLT): "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else..."

Moving Past Your Pain & Breaking Toxic Patterns

Have you ever gone through a painful season and found yourself stuck there, unable to move forward?

In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley dives into Exodus 14 to show us how the Israelites panicked when trapped between Pharaoh’s approaching army and the Red Sea. In their fear, they wanted to turn back to the very slavery God was rescuing them from.

When we experience trauma, heartbreak, or failure, it’s easy to pull up a chair, unpack our bags, and "build a house" in our pain. But God never intended for your painful season to become your permanent address. A memorial is meant to be a reminder of what you’ve been through—not where you stay.

Join us as we learn how to break free from false beliefs and problematic patterns so we can step into the destiny and freedom God has waiting on the other side.

Scripture References:

*Exodus 14:10-31 (NLT)

*Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)

In this timely message, guest speaker Spencer Palmer dives into Ephesians 3 to show us that God wants to do immeasurably more in our lives than we could ever ask, think, or imagine.

If you've been feeling stuck, fearful, or disconnected, this sermon is a reminder that the most important thing about you is what comes into your mind when you think about God. Watch as we explore three practical steps to breaking through into the fullness of God's love and power.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." — Ephesians 3:20

📖 SERMON NOTES & KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Receive It

• Scripture: Ephesians 3:17
• Key Thought: Intimacy grows where hurry dies. To experience the depth of God's love, we have to slow down and Be Still.

2. Know It

• Scriptures: Ephesians 3:18-19, 1 John 4:18
• Key Thought: Fascination takes you where determination never will. When we become truly fascinated by the multi-dimensional love of Christ (the width, length, height, and depth), His perfect love expels all our fear.

3. Remain In It

• Scripture: John 15:9
• Key Thought: God's love isn't just a place to visit; it’s a place to dwell. When we remain in His love, we position ourselves for the "immeasurably more".

Join us for the powerful conclusion of our Firm Foundation series. In this final installment, Pastor Tim Ashley explores the essential role of listening in building a life that stands firm against the storms of life.

Taking place on Mother’s Day, we look to the example of Mary and her incredible heart of obedience. Just as Mary responded to God’s call with a listening and willing heart, we are called to be "quick to listen and slow to speak".

Key Scriptures:

• Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT): "Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock...".

• James 1:19-20 (NLT): "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry".

• Luke 1:26-38 (NLT): The story of Mary and the angel Gabriel.

In this message, you’ll discover:

• Why healthy communication always begins with listening.
• How your listening power determines your learning power.
• The danger of having an answer ready before you’ve even heard what’s been said.
• How to develop a heart that is ready to hear before it is ready to speak.

"If you have predetermined what you are going to hear, you’ve actually heard nothing at all."

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing women in our community!

Thank you for the firm foundations you build every day.

The Word Changes Everything

In this message, guest speaker Spencer Palmer explores how building our lives on a firm foundation requires a deep connection to the Word of God. Using the transformation of the Apostle Paul as a powerful example, he shares three reasons why the Word is the catalyst for a changed life:

1. The Word Changes Everything Because of Who It Came From

The Gospel is not based on mere human reasoning or taught by human sources; it is received by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

2. The Word of God Changes Everything Because It Rebuilds You From the Inside Out

God’s grace can reach anyone, regardless of their past. Just as Saul (the persecutor) became Paul (the humble servant), the Word of God chooses and calls us by His marvelous grace to reveal His Son through us.

3. The Word of God Changes Everything Because Your Life Points to Jesus

A life built on the Word becomes a living testimony. When those around you see the radical change in your life—preaching the very faith you once ignored or opposed—it causes them to praise God because of the work He has done in you.

How do we know that the Bible is more than just a book of good advice? In this message, Pastor Tim Ashley continues our Firm Foundation series by diving into "Revelation"—exploring how God has breathed His truth into Scripture to guide, correct, and equip us for every good work.

When we understand that the Bible is God-breathed, it changes how we listen and how we live. Join us as we look at why God’s Word is the only reliable bedrock for a life that stands firm through the storms.

Key Scriptures:

• 2 Timothy 3:16-17: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness..."

• 2 Peter 1:21: "...men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit."

• Job 32:8: "But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent."

• Acts 27:15: A powerful illustration of being "driven along" by the Spirit, just as a ship is caught by the wind.

Main Takeaways:

• The "Theopneustos" Factor: Understanding that Scripture is literally "God-breathed."

• Profitable for Life: How the Word functions as our ultimate tool for instruction and maturity.

• Carried by the Spirit: Just as a sail catches the wind, the biblical authors were moved by the Holy Spirit to record God's perfect revelation.
