This week, our own Dr. Stephen Peters unpacks Philippians 1:14- 20. He shows us that part of keeping the right perspective is recognizing that God uses our travel restrictions to His advantage. God maximizes limiting geographies and circumstances to position us to be accessible agents of change in the lives of the people closest to us.

This week, Rev. Jean Cadet shares from Exodus 14:5-14. He highlights that despite what we often hope for, there's no such thing as normal. In fact, change leads to change. Sometimes it's positive, sometimes it's negative, but it never goes back to what we remember it to be as "normal". It is in these times of change, God challenges us to not be overcome by fear but to stand firm and trust him as he moves us forward into the future.

This week our own Luke Raughley, minister of the gospel and local missionary with World Impact, in our beloved city of Newark, New Jersey continues with Part 2 of The Road to Adventure. He digs into Acts 2:38 -47 and shares the four key components those new followers of Jesus put to practice that fostered more than ordinary community but communitas - a bonding that allows them to have a life-altering adventure they were able to engage in together.

This week, our lead pastor, Pastor Andrew McCleese shares from Ephesians 4:30 - Ephesians 5:2. He emphasizes that as Christ-followers we are called to live a life counter to the culture. Part of living counter to popular culture is being committed to loving and abiding with each other as members of the family of God even when we experience disagreement or feel offended by one another.

In this message, we are guided further into the book of Ephesians 4:11- 14 by Pastor Andrew McCleese. He unpacks for us the reality that God has given each of us a calling to serve in ministry regardless of our vocations. Reminding us that we all have a role in the body of Christ, and are called to join God in His renewing work in the world as part of the local church.

This week, Rev. Larry Raughley focuses our attention on Ephesians 6:10-19. He reminds us that the battles and struggles we face have spiritual roots and are an attempt to keep us from following Jesus wholeheartedly. As Christians, we have access to power from heaven that will equip us to be strong in the Lord's power when we experience struggle if we are willing to intersect with God and use the resources he has given us rather than choosing to fight for our own way and in our own power.

In this message, Pastor Andrew McCleese leads us through Ephesians 3:20-21 and points out that God is able to do far more for us, in us, and through us, than we could ask or think. That can often mean bypassing what we ask for so he can do something for us far better.
