In this week's message Pastor Grant is taking a sledgehammer to every lie that says your standing before God depends on your performance. Through Romans 4, we go back to the foundation — the same truth that changed Abraham, that shook the Reformation, and still has the power today to set you completely free.

This message is a powerful reminder for every believer who has ever felt the pressure to try harder, do more, to somehow earn a better standing with God. 

If condemnation has been loud lately… if striving has worn you out… if you've forgotten what it actually feels like to rest in the gospel, watch this message and be reminded of the good news that still changes everything.

You cannot add to what Jesus has already finished.

You are invited to stop striving and stand in the righteousness of Christ.

Are you feeling overlooked, overwhelmed, or like the future is looking bleak?

In this powerful message, Pastor Grant dives into Luke 7 to explore one of the most unexpected encounters in the Gospels: Jesus and the Widow of Nain.

What happens when the "God Who Sees" interrupts your darkest moment? Discover why Jesus had the "worst funeral etiquette" in history—not because He was indifferent, but because He was about to remove the very reason for the tears. Whether you have "great faith" or no faith at all, this message is a reminder that:

👁️ He Sees You: You are never insignificant in His eyes.

❤️ He Has Compassion: His heart is moved by your pain.

⚡ He Has Power: He doesn't just feel for you; He acts on your behalf.

Stop carrying your "future" to the grave. Watch as we marvel at the beauty, wonder, and authority of Jesus Christ. One encounter can change your direction forever!

Love.

Not pressure.

Not performance.

Not proving.

When Jesus was asked what matters most, He made it simple:

Love God. Love people. Period.

Everything else hangs on that.

If your faith has felt heavy… if you’re tired of holding it all together… maybe it’s not a motivation problem. Maybe it’s a foundation question.

Because when love isn’t the center, even good things start to crack.

But when love is the foundation?

Faith holds.

Truth heals.

Obedience flows.

So here’s the question:

What is your life hanging on right now?

🎥 If you need realignment, rest, or just solid ground again — this message is for you.

Ever feel like you’re carrying a quiet, constant pressure to be more… do more… fix more… prove more?

This week’s message from Pastor Kim May titled “Holy Should or Holy Spirit?” goes straight after that exhausting inner soundtrack of:

“I should… I should… I should…”

Sometimes we pile on expectations and burdens we were never meant to carry—and we feel the weight of all those “shoulds” pressing in.

In Acts 3, at the gate called Beautiful, a beggar asks Peter and John for money… and they do something shocking: they don’t do what’s expected — they do what’s directed.

Not obligation. Not guilt. Not performance. The Holy Spirit.

Because sometimes the “holy” thing isn’t the busy thing. 

Sometimes it’s the surrendered thing.

If you’ve been living under unrealistic expectations, feeling stretched thin, or constantly “should-ing” yourself… this message might be the release you’ve been needing.

 Watch and ask yourself: Am I being driven by the Holy Should… or led by the Holy Spirit?

This week Pastor Grant delivers a powerful message on how we experience strength through weakness.

In 2 Corinthians 12:7–10, Paul begs God to remove the thorn in his side — not once, but three times.

God’s response wasn’t what Paul wanted.

Instead of removing the thorn, He said:

“My grace is sufficient for you.”

God didn’t take it away.

He invited Paul to experience a strength that could only be found through dependence.

What if your weakness isn’t the problem to solve…

but the very place God’s power wants to show up?

When you’re used to being “the strong one,” admitting weakness can feel like failure.

But Paul shows us something different — weakness isn’t something to hide.

It’s an invitation to grace.

The thing you keep trying to power through might be the exact place God wants to meet you.

Because when we stop pretending we’ve got it all together…

we stop carrying burdens we were never meant to hold

and we begin to experience real freedom in Christ.

In this sermon titled "Where The Ark Is," Pastor Grant explores the profound impact of perspective and the presence of God in our lives. Drawing from the biblical accounts of the Ark of the Covenant, he illustrates how our "spiritual location"—where we focus our hearts and minds—determines the level of peace and power we experience.

Key Themes and Insights

The Power of Perspective: Pastor Grant emphasizes that while we cannot always control our circumstances, we can control our perspective. He teaches that a shift in how we view our challenges can transform our response to them, moving us from a place of fear to one of faith.

Prioritizing the Presence of God: The sermon highlights the Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of God's presence. Pastor Grant encourages the congregation to move away from "religious routine" and instead cultivate a genuine, daily hunger for the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Restoration and Worship: Worship is presented not just as music, but as a lifestyle of acknowledging God's sovereignty. The message suggests that when we position ourselves "where the Ark is"—centering our lives on God—we find restoration for our souls and clarity for our purpose.

Active Faith: Pastor Grant challenges us to take active steps in their faith journey, suggesting that spiritual growth requires intentionality and a willingness to leave behind old mindsets that no longer serve God's purpose for their lives.

This week in our Worship series, Pastor Grant looks at when breakthrough really happens—and it’s probably not what you think.

The battle plan in 2 Chronicles 20 makes zero sense on paper… and changes everything in practice.

Judah is outnumbered, overwhelmed, and honest enough to say the words we’ve all felt:

“We don’t know what to do… but our eyes are on You.”

And then God gives a surprising instruction—not to panic, not to perform, not to pretend… but to praise before the victory shows up.

What if the breakthrough you’re waiting for isn’t after the victory… but in the middle of the pressure?

The shift doesn’t come because the enemy disappears or the provision arrives. It comes when we take our eyes off the problem and magnify the Lord. Sometimes praise brings the breakthrough—other times praise is the breakthrough, and the provision is simply the result.

If you’ve been carrying anxiety, heaviness, uncertainty, or you feel pinned with no way out—this one is for you.

Watch this week’s message and be reminded: the battle isn’t yours… and praise is how you stand and see the salvation of the Lord.

This week in our worship series, Psalm 150 provides a wake-up call for the start of a new year.

Worship isn’t passive. It’s embodied.

Not a blank stare… not “waiting until you feel it”… but giving God your whole being—hands lifted, knees bent, voice released, heart fully engaged.

In this message, you’ll hear why your body matters to God, how worship recalibrates your priorities, and why so many believers have unknowingly carried shame or distance in the very place God designed to be an entrance to His presence.

Pastor Grant unpacks the Biblical language of praise—lifting hands, clapping, shouting, dancing, bowing and shows how Scripture calls us into worship that’s not just sung… but lived through posture.

And then it gets even deeper: worship doesn’t just change a room… it can change you.

This message will stir faith for freedom, breakthrough, and healing, especially for anyone who’s felt stuck, numb, overwhelmed, or “out of sync.”

Are ready for a reset? To do something you haven’t done before?

Because when you bring your whole self to God, He meets you there.

This week, Pastor Wes kicks off our new series on what it really means to worship. We’ll explore the biblical definition of worship and how it shapes the way we live, work, love, and follow Jesus beyond Sunday mornings.

Jesus tells us we are called to worship in spirit and in truth—with our whole hearts and our everyday lives.

Worship is more than a song.

More than a Sunday moment.

More than what happens when the music starts.

If you’ve ever limited worship to a song set, this message will challenge your perspective and call you into a deeper level of worship with God.

At Christmas, we celebrate more than a moment in history—we celebrate the moment Heaven came to earth. Since the fall in the garden, humanity had waited, longing for redemption, watching for the fulfillment of God’s perfectly appointed time.

The prophecy was spoken:

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” — Isaiah 9:6

The promise was announced:

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.” — Luke 2:10–11

And the promise was fulfilled:

“The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us… full of grace and truth.” — John 1:14

This Christmas, we fix our hearts on the peace that only Christ can bring. Not a temporary peace shaped by circumstances, but a deep and lasting peace rooted in His presence. No matter what is happening in our lives or in the world around us, the Prince of Peace is with us.

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.” — John 14:27

May you encounter the peace of Christ this Christmas—a peace that calms anxious hearts, restores weary souls, and reminds us that God is truly with us. 🎄✝️
