This week we finish out the year together by studying 1 Corinthians 9:23-27 to see how giving is gaining. We've been in a giving initiative called Whatever It Takes since August, and our primary goal has been 100% participation. Let's finish the 2024 year well by giving to the initiative, and trust that it is not only gain for us, but that God will use it to save many in the coming years! We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening!

We're finishing our series this week by studying Genesis 32:22-31. If we want to have a personal encounter with God, it requires at least three things we learn from Jacob's story: we must go to God alone, we must go in weakness, but then he must come to us in weakness. If you're ready to encounter God in a personal way, we hope this message challenges and encourages you. Thanks for watching or listening!

This week we hear from guest speaker, Travis Suits, from Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC. Travis is the High Point Campus Pastor at Mercy Hill and his support and guidance have has had a significant impact on our church since we planted. Travis shares from Genesis 30-31 to show us how God works for your good by working for His glory. We hope this message challenges and encourages you. Thanks for listening!

This week we get back into our series, Made For More, by studying Genesis 28:10-22. We see Jacob at rock bottom, broken and alone. But we also see God's grace heal the broken. God comes to Jacob in a dream, very personally, and promises him blessing, though he doesn't deserve it. God's grace is unconditional for Jacob, and it can be unconditional for those of us who place our faith in Jesus, THE stairway to heaven. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening!

This week we hear from guest speaker, Jonathan Yarboro, from Mercy Hill Church in Greensboro, NC. Jonathan is the executive pastor of sending at Mercy Hill and his leadership has had a profound impact on our church since we planted it four years ago. Jonathan shares from Mark 5:1-20 to show us how the gospel saves and sends. We hope this message challenges and encourages you. Thanks for listening!

This week we continued our series in Genesis 27, studying Jacob's stolen blessing. You can't make or take the blessed life, it can only be received by God. When we try to make or take the blessed life, it always leads to cursing not blessing. It hurts us and others, because we're looking for a different kind of blessing. We long for an eternal blessing from God, not an earthly blessing we make or take for ourselves. We hope this message encourages and challenges you to keep your eyes on eternity. Thanks for listening!

This week we begin a new series in Genesis 25 called Made For More: Jacob's Story. We have a tendency to grasp for things that we want out of selfishness, jealousy, and ultimately a lack of trust in God. But God has declared who we are in Christ. We don't have to grasp for an eternal inheritance, he's given it to us freely! We can trust God for who we are. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening!

This week, we study Matthew 22:15-22 to learn how to view politics as a Christian. Jesus said: "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's." It's important to submit to earthly authority as a good citizen. However, our identity is ultimately in submitting to God, our heavenly authority, as citizens of another world. We need to filter our politics through our faith, not the other way around. We hope this message challenges and encourages you. Thanks for listening!

This week we finish our series What Is Joy? by studying Philippians 4:14-20. Paul makes the claim that giving now is gain forever. We usually believe that giving our money away is a loss. But God tells us that giving to his mission is actually gain. We hope this message challenges and encourages you. Thanks for listening!
