This week we begin our advent series "Wonder." In this first week, we turn to the book of Isaiah to learn about a child that would bring hope to the world. To call this child special would be an understatement. Isaiah gives us four names for the child: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. This wasn't just any child, this was God. This week pastor Ivey shows us how this child born more than 2000 years ago makes a difference in our lives today.

In this final week of Devastation and Reform Pastor Ivey looks at being wrong. Is it ok for a Christian to be wrong? The argument can be made from the Scriptures that it's not only ok, but that recognizing we're wrong is essential to being a Christian. We'll look at two important people from Acts 9 who realized they are wrong and Jesus was right.

This week we see how knowledge is our friend when we are going through deconstruction. Pastor Ivey brings us to a passage where a well-known worship leader in Israel is doubting his faith. Though he doubted, he didn't lose his trust in God. Listen this week as we see four types of knowledge that can help us deconstruct our faith without losing it.

It's important to be able to discern truth from lies. This week pastor Ivey walks us through discerning what is true through the Scriptures. We turn to the least discerning couple of all time: Adam and Eve.

All of us put our trust in something even when we're not sure about everything. This week Pastor Ivey brings us to Mark 9 to see a blind man with incredible faith, but a man that was unsure about a a lot. We see that it's ok, not to know be unsure about many things in your faith as long as you trust in Jesus.

In our new series we are exploring faith deconstruction. In this first week we take a step back to look at what is meant by deconstruction. Then Pastor Ivey brings us to the book of Matthew to see how deconstructing our faith doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Faith deconstruction, if done the right way, can lead to a deeper faith on the other side.

It's amazing to think that the Lord of the universe listens to our prayers. But even more amazing than that, God prays for us! In today's passage from John, we get to listen in on a personal prayer of Jesus. The most fascinating part of this prayer is that Jesus prays, not just for his disciples 2000 years ago, but for Christians living in 2021. Listen as pastor Ivey brings us through five prayers Jesus prayed for us.

This week we look at a fight that has been raging since page three of the Bible. It's a battle that the Apostle Paul faced and a battle that every Christian faces. It's a fight between the old and new You. The flesh and the Spirit, and it's the fight of your life. This week pastor Ivey takes us to the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit to see how God is producing the fruit of Christ-like character in you.

This week we begin our new series by looking why we have been chosen. In John 15 Jesus tells us that he chose us to bear fruit. Over the next few week we will explore the type of fruit we're supposed to bear, but this week we focus on the how. Pastor Ivey explains both the simple, but difficult way in which Christ produces fruit in us.

In the church, we can often think that the people that are most visible, like pastors and worship leaders, are the most important jobs. We can assume that everyone else's jobs are less important. This is a lie we've told ourselves and cannot be found in the Scriptures. Watch this week as pastor Ivey explains from Romans 12 how every member of God's church is essential to God's plan. There are no insignificant jobs in the church.
