In Part 3 of The Merge, Pastor Alvin teaches that salvation is more than forgiveness—it’s a trade. We lay down our life and receive His. And with His life comes His mission, His obedience, and His heart for people. To live the life of Christ is to desire what the Father desires: that none should perish and all would come to repentance. And through seven simple steps, we learn how to share that life with others.

In Part 1 of our brand-new series, The Merge, Pastor Alvin challenges the common view of salvation as merely escaping punishment. Instead, he invites us to see it as something far more profound: a total, transformative merging of your life with Christ.

This is the radical choice to surrender everything and live fully as a "living sacrifice." Following Jesus isn't a casual commitment; it requires us to count the cost and confidently believe that His will is infinitely greater than any comfort or desire we might have to give up.

Discover why Jesus’ invitation to follow him is never without commitment—and why those "strings attached" are actually the foundation of the most abundant, good news you'll ever receive.

Scripture references:

Pastor Alvin III kicks off our new series with a powerful challenge: Is salvation just about being saved from something, or is it about being joined to Someone? True salvation is the merging of your life with Christ. This isn't passive—it's the choice to surrender all and live as a living sacrifice. Discover why following Jesus means intentionally counting the cost and believing His will is greater than anything you could give up. Plus, learn why Jesus' invitation to follow Him comes with "strings attached"—and why that's actually the best news ever.

This week, we wrap up our series The Kingdom of God with a vital reminder: your identity as a son or daughter comes with authority and purpose. Through Jesus, humanity's dominion has been restored, and we're called to partner with God to see His will done on earth as it is in Heaven. Pastor Alvin dives into what true sonship looks like—walking in the authority you've been given, using prayer as an act of dominion, and inviting God's power to move through your life. Get ready to discover how to live as an empowered child of God, governing with wisdom and glorifying the Father by walking in His power.

In this impactful second installment of The Kingdom of God series, Pastor Alvin cuts straight to the heart of the matter: how humanity swapped its God-given dominion for rebellion—a "sin trade" that forfeited the authority we were created to possess. This exchange had a greater impact than we can imagine, but the good news is that Jesus came to restore our dominion and correct our trajectory on earth. Jesus taught that the Kingdom isn't a theory to discuss; it's a power to demonstrate. Tune in to learn practical steps for how you can reclaim your God-given authority, break free from what once held you back, and begin living today as an authentic representative of Heaven right here on Earth.

Pastor Alvin kicks off this new series, The kingdom of God, teaching us the BIG 3 (what, who, and why) of the kingdom and how it pertains to our lives. Part 1, subtitled, "Seek First the Kingdom", is the introduction to the series, asking the major question, "What is the kingdom and what does it have to do with my life?" and "What about the kingdom makes it the first thing we should seek as believers?". From the beginning, we were created to mirror God’s authority on earth—but sin traded that for darkness. Now through Jesus, the Kingdom has been brought back to us. Tune as Pastor Alvin explains WHY we must seek the kingdom of first and how prioritizing the Kingdom changes everything and restores us to God.

In Part 3 of the "You Must Be Born Again" series, Pastor Alvin delves into the profound purpose of the new life we receive in Jesus. It's so much more than the joy of acceptance and renewal—it's a vibrant call to action!

This episode unpacks four key pillars of this transformed existence: accountability, community, service, and surrender.

Whether you're taking your first steps in faith or simply need a fresh, powerful reminder, this message will inspire you to wholeheartedly say "yes" to the unique, different, transformative life only Jesus offers.
