Who are we really? In a world that is obsessed with self expression and inventing we are offered something deeper in the gospel. 

This Sunday, Pastor Filmore launches us into our new series on what God says about us. We are not performers, producers, or spectators we are a royal priesthood. The world chases success to settle insecurities and to silence shame but in Christ our identity is never based on what we achieve or how we feel. We have been called out of darkness and invited into our true roles as priests. 

As priests we are not passive observers but active participants. We bring our everyday praises, presence, and prayers as a sacrifice to God and lay it all down as His altar. We stop clinging on to the success and feelings and start trusting that if we bring the offering and God brings the outcome. 

Jesus calls us to a life that is marked by surrender and not spotlight. A reminder that he doesnt just want our two hours on Sunday but our everyday. You are not tasked to prove yourself but you must bring yourself and fully trust that the Lord is enough.

Chasing perfection? Striving to feel close to God? Fruit doesn’t come from effort—it comes from connection.

This week, Pastor Roy concludes the "I Am" series with Jesus’ final declaration in John 15: “I am the true vine.” In a world that celebrates independence and self-sufficiency, Jesus invites us into something deeper—a shift from an “I” mentality to a connected, relational way of life rooted in us.

Jesus calls us to abide in Him—not to prove ourselves, but to stay close to the source of life. In a culture obsessed with personal gain and comparison, we often lose sight of our purpose. Fruit isn’t meant for the branch that bears it—it’s meant to nourish others. When we’re connected to Jesus, the fruit of our lives becomes a blessing to the people around us.

When we abide in Christ, our lives naturally begin to produce the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more. This fruit is not about striving, but about staying connected. And at the heart of that connection is a Father who delights not just in you, but in everyone around you.

This week, remember: you are not too broken, too thorny, or too distant. You are the center of God’s delight. And when you remain in His love, your life will bear the kind of fruit that continues to bless and refresh those around you.

Do you feel that, despite the world’s advice and answers, your life and its circumstances are still out of your depth? Leave your way and your previous solutions — and turn to Jesus.

This week, Pastor Filmore continues the “I Am” series by exploring one of Jesus’ most powerful declarations in John 14: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” In a world that tells us peace comes through control, success, or hard work, Jesus tells us that true peace is found only in Him. He is the cure for troubled hearts. He urges us not to let our hearts be troubled because He has gone to prepare a place for us. This is not just a promise for the future but a call to shift your focus now.

We’re not called to have it all figured out. Jesus reminds us that the point of life isn’t about the where, it’s about the Who. This week, when you find yourself fixated on where to go, what decision to make, or when it will all work out you are invited to pause. Shift your focus and rest in the One who is the Way.

Just because it feels like the end doesn't mean it is.

This week, Pastor Filmore walks us through the powerful moment in John 11 where Jesus’ delay leads to resurrection. As we wrestle with grief, unanswered prayers, and lingering disappointments, we’re reminded that Jesus doesn’t just offer resurrection — He is resurrection. He enters our pain, weeps with us, and speaks life into places that feel beyond hope.

Maybe what feels like the end is actually just the middle. And maybe Jesus is setting you up not just for a miracle, but for a deeper faith.

If you’re in a season of waiting, doubting, or grieving, this message is for you. Let it remind you that death doesn’t have the final word — Jesus does.

Do you feel unready, inadequate, or incompetent? Then rejoice! Our lack and weakness is where God’s ability picks up.

On this Day of Pentecost, Pastor Filmore reminds us of that powerful moment in Acts 2 where we see the beginning of the New Testament church — the wedding of Christ and the Church. Jesus tells us that He is leaving for our benefit, to leave with us a Helper who will empower our lives.

The world urges us to move only when we are sure, but God calls us to move because He is sure. We must not confuse certainty with the faith we truly need.

The power and presence of God do not require perfect conditions. You do not need all your feelings of fear or insecurity to go away; you need the Spirit of God to overshadow them.

As you reflect on this message, shift the posture of your heart from control and the need for certainty to faith and expectation.

Are you mistaking tolerance for Grace?

This Sunday, Pastor Filmore invites us into a deeper understanding of what real grace looks like. 

Drawing from Luke 7, where Jesus dines in the house of a Pharisee, we see that grace isnt encountered through pretense or performacne. We cannot try to manage Jesus and think that we are inviting Him in on our terms and in our atmosphere. True grace is met in honesty and surrender. 

This story reminds us that the depth of our experience with grace is linked to the depth of our devotion. When we stop seeing Jesus as an observer in our live but as a loving savior that loves fully and completely we encounter a grace that begins a transformative work in us. 

The grace of Jesus is not selective or polite. It is scandalus, transformative and personal. This week truly receive it and see how it changes everything.

• Luke 7:36-50

Have you ever felt that our culture overpromises and underdelivers? 

This Sunday, Pastor Filmore continues with Jesus' "I am" statements. In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd. He reminds us that there is no one more invested in our well-being than Him. 

In a world full of noise, manipulation, and people always clawing for our attention, we have a radical offer from Christ: sacrificial love, faithful presence, and transforming grace. He leads us with a heart oriented toward our growth and His glory.

Following Jesus reframes everything. We can shift our focus from earning His love to surrendering to a covenant of grace.

This week, rest in His sacrifice, marvel within it, and ask it to change you.

Have you ever felt like you’re on the outside looking in—longing for peace, purpose, or belonging, but unsure how to access it?

This Sunday, Pastor Filmore unpacked Jesus’ powerful statement in John 10: “I am the door.” In a world full of closed doors and false promises, Jesus offers Himself as the only true way into life, freedom, and relationship with God.

We were reminded that the ache we carry—the spiritual homesickness we feel—isn’t a flaw, but a sign. It points us back to Eden, where access to God was once open. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus became the Door that reopens what sin once closed.

He doesn't just show us the way — He is the way. Through Him, we find safety, salvation, and deep soul satisfaction. But we can’t walk through the Door if we still believe we can climb the wall ourselves.

This week, are you trusting in your own strength — or stepping through the Door that leads to abundant life?

Are you leaning more into the truth of Jesus or the truth of the world?

This Sunday, Pastor Filmore reminded us that if we’re not walking in the light of Christ, we risk being deceived. John’s words encourage us to follow God and walk away from darkness, knowing that as Christians, there is no morally neutral ground. We’re either being drawn closer to Jesus or pulled away from Him.

Scripture tells us that Jesus is the light—not one of many, but the ultimate source of good, truth, and life. In a world that often exalts self and confuses darkness for light, we’re reminded that our hearts are not meant to be worshiped but led. The same God who spoke light into existence in Genesis now speaks through His Word to illuminate our lives.

This week, will you let God's truth guide your heart instead of worshiping your own desires?

When everything feels shaky, the joy of the Lord stands firm and becomes your strength.

This Sunday, Pastor Roy reminded us that our true strength comes not from ourselves but from God. In moments of doubt, anxiety, and trial, we are called to lift our eyes from our circumstances and fix them on the source of our strength. 

Drawing from Nehemiah, we’re reminded that the joy of the Lord is not temporary; it is everlasting. It is our anchor and compass in the hardest moments. We are emboldened with the courage to keep going and the strength to stand firm. As we learn to trust Him more deeply, we gain more than peace of mind. 

This week, how will you respond to the strength and joy God freely offers?
