From the opening moments of the creation of the world in Genesis 1, before the sun or moon existed, God established light, revealing not just what light is, but who the Light has always been: Himself. In Revelation 21, the story comes full circle as God once again is the light, illuminating eternity without need of sun or moon. Though God separates Himself from darkness, He never separates Himself from us. He is the Light who steps into the darkness so we never have to live there again.

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores what it truly means that God is light and how He will always illuminate our lives.

There are countless voices in the world we live in trying to shape how we see ourselves and our lives. Through the parable of the good soil and the conversations that follow (Mark 4:3-25), Jesus helps us understand that what we choose to hear is so important to our ability to have productive and fruitful lives. When we listen to His Word, and take it to heart, it produces real, lasting fruit. The closer we listen to Jesus, the more we’ll understand, and the more we understand, the more we’ll receive.

The Lord asked Moses, "What is in your hand?" (Exodus 4:1–5). Like any shepherd, Moses carried a staff to guide and protect the sheep. It was simply a tool for his everyday life. Nothing spiritual, just ordinary. Who you are and what you have may seem ordinary, but when placed in God's hands and used in obedience, it becomes more than enough—it becomes supernatural. 

Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages you to take heart in your calling and giftings, and to let the Lord lead you in using them.

Join us in Chapel Hill for our next installment of the Voices of the Congregation as our three guest speakers share their revelation on God's Faithfulness, and how it impacts our lives.

Everything begins with a thought. A thought is like a seed that develops into understanding, and our understanding ultimately influences what we speak (1 Corinthians 13:11-12). Many things in life are either birthed or aborted by the words we speak.

Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages you to seek the Lord's perspective on your life, and to let that be your guide post.

God reveals Himself as light even in the darkest moments. At Hanukkah, God miraculously caused a single jar of oil to burn far beyond what seemed possible, signaling His presence has returned to His people. But that miracle pointed to something greater. When Jesus came, He didn't just bring light, He was the Light—a light which would never run out and could not be overcome by darkness. This Christmas, we celebrate the miracle of light fulfilled in Christ, the Light who tore open the curtain, made His home among us, and now shines through us. 

Join us for our Christmas service in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade invites us to celebrate the miracle of light fulfilled in Jesus.
