The Church doesn't need celebrities; it needs surgeons.

In this message from the "IN CHRIST" series, we dive into Ephesians 4:7-16

to discover that unity is not a passive state of peace, but an active

"wartime strategy" for the church. Paul shifts from the theological

foundation of "One Body" to the practical application of how that body

functions. We learn that grace hasn't just been given to the

"professionals" or the leadership; it has been measured out to each one of

us by Christ Himself.

In this message, we move into the second half of our series, IN CHRIST.

We’ve spent weeks looking at our identity and doctrine in chapters 1-3, but

now the Apostle Paul shifts our focus from our calling to our conduct.

Romans 8:28, Psalm 100:1-4, Luke 17:11-19, 1 Thessalonians 5:11-13, 1 Thessalonians 5:18, John 6:11, John 6:22-24, 1 Corinthians 11:23-24

This message explores the crucial connection between hope and fear as we

light the first candle of Advent. Learn why true, biblical hope is not

flimsy wishful thinking, but a secure assurance grounded in the

resurrection of Jesus Christ. Discover how anchoring your hope in Jesus—our

Living Hope—is the key to strengthening your faith for today and overcoming

fear.

We are strengthened not by our own might, but by the Holy Spirit.

It's easy to feel like a prisoner of your circumstances. But Paul, writing from a Roman jail, declared he was a prisoner of Christ Jesus!
