What if leadership in God’s Kingdom isn’t about being seen, but about being underneath? As we celebrate 14 years as a church and reflect on our anniversary theme, Still Building, Pastor Alvin walks through the story of the prodigal son and challenges us to rethink what it truly means to follow Jesus. Building leaders is really about building servants. And servants are the ones who prepare the table, welcome the lost home, and help carry the weight for others. At the center of this message is the power of being underneath. Following Jesus is a gradual process where your sense of self-importance decreases while your love for others increases. It can feel like you’re going into the ground, but in reality, God is positioning you to lift others up. Just as Jesus went underneath us and raised us with Him, we’re called to take that same posture in our homes, our church, and our city. Don’t mistake someone else being celebrated for your rejection. “Other people are important too” does not mean they are more important than you. The Father is able to handle your needs too. Because when you stay in the house, everything He has is already yours.

ABOUT US

The vision for 2026 is more than just a strategic plan; it is a direct challenge to every member of our community. This week during Vision Sunday, Pastor Alvin explains why the "who" must always precede the "what" if we hope to see a lasting impact in our city and beyond. As we continue to pursue the vision, we learn growth requires much more than just additional space—it requires a community anchored in unity, connection, and a ready discipleship. Drawing from the wisdom of Exodus, Ephesians, and the Parable of the Sower, this episode explores why revival is only as sustainable as the people willing to build it, challenging us to move beyond a fleeting moment and step fully into our collective mission.

 Last week, we laid the foundation: Knowing God and Finding Freedom. But as many of us know, the real challenge isn’t just finding freedom—it’s keeping it.

In this week’s episode, Pastor Alvin walks us through the second half of our vision: Discovering Purpose and Making a Difference. Why do so many of us find it difficult to remain free? The answer often lies in our surroundings. Through the lens of Matthew 12, Pastor Alvin teaches that freedom cannot exist in a vacuum. To sustain your breakthrough, you must be intentional about your environment, ensuring you are consistently tethered to individuals and communities that are conducive to healing.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between your past healing and your future calling, this message is your roadmap to building a life that doesn’t just "get free," but stays free to make a lasting impact.

Pastor Alvin unpacks the first two steps of our church’s vision and why they are foundational for every believer. Knowing God is not about getting your life together first. It begins with coming to Jesus and trusting the mercy that brings us from death to life. But knowing God is only the beginning. Jesus also invites us to find freedom by laying aside the weights that slow us down. Shame, fear, regret, pride, and isolation all keep us from running the race God has set before us.

Through Scripture and practical teaching, this message shows how freedom is sustained through community and why walking with others creates the kind of environment where healing lasts. This is the starting point. Knowing God and finding freedom prepare us for what’s next as we discover our purpose and learn how to make a difference.

This week, we are honored to welcome back Pearson Pretorius from 3C Church in South Africa for a powerful, paradigm-shifting message. While many seek a year of "glory" or "blessing," Pastor Pearson challenges us to pursue something deeper: The Greatest Year.

Drawing from Colossians 2, this episode is a call to move away from "outside-in" Christianity—where we strive for religious approval—and into an "inside-out" life fueled by the Spirit. If you’ve felt exhausted by the pressure to "do more" for God, this message is your invitation to trade religious effort for true communion.

In this episode, we discuss:

Stop striving for a breakthrough and start living from the rest that Christ has already provided. Because God doesn’t want you to do more; He wants you to seek more.

Scripture references:

Colossians 2:6–10

Zechariah 4:6

In Part 2 of our Pray First series, Pastor Alvin walks through the Prayer of Jabez and shows how bold, faith-filled prayer positions us to live beyond our past, our shame, and our self-sufficiency. Jabez’s life began with pain, but his prayer pointed toward blessing, influence, and purpose. This message challenges us to trust God’s heart, ask for His blessing without fear, depend on His presence, and walk in His protection. Because when we pray first, we stop leaning on ourselves and start living as people called to make an eternal difference. Prayer isn’t passive. It’s how we align our lives with a God who is more than enough. Scripture References:

Most of us approach prayer as a way to earn God’s favor, but what if it’s actually about positioning ourselves to receive what He has already promised? In this episode, Pastor Alvin breaks down the Lord’s Prayer to reveal Jesus’ true blueprint for a life rooted in relationship, not performance. We explore how "praying first" shifts our perspective from self-sufficiency to total trust, bringing the atmosphere of Heaven into our daily reality. It’s time to stop striving and start getting back in position.

How you start determines how you finish. Pastor Alvin kicks off the new year with a transformative new series, "The Principle of the First." In this opening episode, we dive into the divine architecture of time—a gift created by God to make room for new mercies, fresh beginnings, and sustained grace. Discover why "the first" carries the power to bless everything that follows and how establishing God as your top priority creates a life where you can expect His favor. It’s time to move past busy-ness and toward a disciplined posture of honor.

In Part 4 of The Invitation series, Pastor Alvin Love III reveals that God is inviting us into a legacy of faith. From the beginning of Scripture, God has always worked through family and lineage. His people are connected by one defining trait: faith. A faith that pursues God’s promises even when they cannot yet be seen. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that when we say yes to Jesus, we are welcomed into God’s family and entrusted with carrying that legacy forward. Though the journey of faith includes hardship and endurance, Jesus remains the author and finisher of our faith. Discover why faith is God’s family legacy, why perseverance matters, and why your life is part of a much bigger story.
