  • Good Friday Service | Pastor Alex Pappas

    There’s a reason we call Good Friday “good.” The blood of Jesus wasn’t shed just to cover our sins, but to completely take them away. Not hidden or managed. Totally removed! Paid in full! Never let the weight of the cross become something common to you, because it cost God everything. And thank You God, that’s not the end of the story. What looked like death is about to reveal life. Resurrection Sunday is coming!

  • The Conditions of Powerful Prayer | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Prayer is not meant to be powerless, it’s meant to be effective. When we truly walk with God, pray in faith, and align with His Word and His will, our prayers carry authority. We’re called to live like Jesus did, walking in power, making an impact, and advancing His Kingdom.


    It starts with knowing Him as Father, approaching Him with reverence, and surrendering our will for His. When our hearts, faith, and prayers line up with Him, we will begin to see mountains move.

  • Judgement Done Right | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex taught us how to judge God’s way. As the rise of accusations occur, how and when do we judge?


    We don’t judge the world. We are called to walk rightly within the body of Christ, carefully, humbly, and in order.

    God has established authority in the home and the church, and we are only called to judge where we are accountable.

    Judgement in the Church is meant to lead to repentance and life. Step outside of that, and it leads to confusion. Stay within it, and it brings life.

    James 4:11-12
    Matthew 7:1-5

  • Dealing With Distractions | Pastor Davidson

    Pastor Davidson encouraged us to keep our eyes on Jesus. Every day, there are things that pull and fight for our attention. When Martha had Jesus in her own house, the Word tells us she was distracted and worried about many things.


    How many times has Jesus tried to encounter us, yet we are caught up in the hustle and bustle of every day life? We can’t let distractions steal our focus. God often uses small trials to prepare us for bigger moments.

    Like Peter stepping out of the boat, faith requires us to keep our eyes on Jesus even when the winds and waves rise. When we stay focused, prayerful, and filled with the Spirit, God equips us to stand in every storm and walk in the purpose He’s prepared for us.

    Keep your faith, don’t be distracted, and know that He desires to spend time with you.

    Scriptures:
    1 Samuel 17:34–35
    Matthew 14:22–33
    Ephesians 6:10–11
    Matthew 25:3–4

  • When God Calls the Guilty Righteous (Part 3) | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex asked us a question to wrap up our series - how can an unrighteous person stand before a righteous God?


    The Gospel reveals that righteousness is not something we earn, it’s something we receive through faith in Jesus Christ. Because of the cross, a divine exchange took place: our sin for His righteousness. We are justified, declared not guilty, not because of our works, but because of what Christ’s finished work on the cross.

    Through saving grace, receiving this grace also transforms us. We are saved by grace through faith, and that same faith begins to produce fruit in our lives.

    Be set free from the yoke of working for your salvation, the burden of comparison, and enter into His grace and mercy. From there, our works begin to be acts of worship.

    Scriptures:
    Romans 3:21–28
    Romans 5:1
    2 Corinthians 5:21
    Galatians 2:16
    Ephesians 2:8–10
    James 2:17
    Titus 2:11–12

  • The Sin of Self Righteousness (Part 2) | Pastor Alex Pappas

    This Sunday, Pastor Alex reminded us as we continued on our series of righteousness that it’s easy to compare ourselves to others, to justify ourselves, and think that we're good enough.


    Self-righteousness says, “I’m not that bad.” The Gospel says, “I’m spiritually bankrupt without Him.”

    Humility opens the door to righteousness. Grace meets us when we stop comparing and start confessing. The cross still matters and it must move us to a place of humility and repentance.

    The truth is, none of our works are close to God's holiness and righteousness. He is the only One who is good.

    Scriptures:
     Romans 3:10, 23
     Psalm 51:5
     Jeremiah 17:9
     Isaiah 64:6
     Luke 18:9–14
     Proverbs 12:1
     1 John 1:8
     James 4:6

  • He Alone is Holy (Righteousness Part 1) | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex showed us when we define righteousness ourselves, we drift into pride or despair. What we really need to do is allow God to define righteousness, and look to Him for the standard. In a culture that constantly redefines truth, even in the church, righteousness is not measured by people, but by God’s unchanging character.


    Righteousness doesn’t change because God doesn’t change. He doesn’t pursue righteousness, He is righteous. His holiness is the standard, and His ways are always just.

    When we compare ourselves to others, we miss it. When we look to God as the standard for righteousness, we realize our need for God. Our righteousness will never be enough, but Jesus offers an exchange: His for ours. Let’s not compare ourselves to others. Let’s look to Him.

    Scriptures:
    Deuteronomy 32:4
    Psalm 11:7
    Isaiah 6:1–3
    Numbers 23:19
    Titus 1:2
    Matthew 5:6

  • The Pain of Loneliness | Pastor Alex Pappas

    Pastor Alex reminded us that at some point in our walk with the Lord, we will face loneliness. It can feel like being unseen, unheard, rejected, or forgotten. It can come through loss, betrayal, transition, sin, or even the weight of your calling. If ignored, loneliness can turn into isolation, depression, wrong relationships, and even a drifting faith.


    But God never intended for us to remain alone. He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those whose spirits are crushed. And we can turn to Him in our times of need.

    When loneliness comes, don’t isolate, lean into God. Worship. Confess. Gather with believers. His presence changes everything.

    Scriptures:
    Psalm 25:16
    1 Kings 19:9–10
    2 Timothy 4:16
    Matthew 27:46
    1 Samuel 16:11
    Psalm 142:4
    Psalm 55:12–13

  • Designed for His Presence | Holy Spirit Fire Conference Session 1 | Pastor Alex Pappas

    For our first Holy Spirit Fire Conference sessions, Pastor Alex reminded us that we are designed for the presence of God. We were created to be in God's presence. Once man fell and were removed from God's presence, we began to die.


    Knowledge alone doesn't transform us, encountering Him does. The people in the Bible knew the laws, heard about Jesus' teachings, but once they sat with Him, they were changed. Many people come to church to hear something, when God is inviting us to experience Him. We thrive in HIs presence. That's where everything comes alive.

    God will meet with those who pursue His presence. The question is, do you desire it?

    Scriptures:
    John 4:27-41
    Matthew 4:4
    Luke 10:38-42
    John 14:21
    Mark 16:14
    1 Corinthians 2:4-5
    2 Corinthians 3:15-18
    Exodus 33:13-14

  • The Books of God | Pastor Alex Pappas

    This morning, Pastor Alex shared with us that God isn’t careless or forgetful, He keeps records of our lives in books. Scripture shows us that heaven records lives, choices, victories, faith, and even tears.


    God has a book written about your life, revealing that you were intentionally created with purpose and a divine plan. You were never a mistake.
    This is why how we live matters. Not just on Sundays, but every day. God is loving, merciful, and compassionate, but He is also holy. No matter the accusations of the enemy, what matters most is this: is your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life?
