What do we do when evil feels exposed and overwhelming? The facts of modern political corruption are not new. This was a world state that the Biblical authors were well aware of, though it may be challenging to us today. In the midst of our personal struggles with all that we see, we can look to the Biblical authors for examples of how to process our grief and anger, while trusting the one who declares, "Behold, I am making all things new."

Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Sam Johnston teaches on Revelation 21:5, reflecting on present world events and grieving rightly through a Biblical lens.

God speaks in different ways and through different types of words. Sometimes His word illuminates the whole path ahead, other times He simply lights our next step (Psalm 119:105). Yet at the center of it all is this truth, the Word and the Light ultimately lead us to a Person. When we're desperate for direction, Jesus often invites us deeper into His presence. 

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to seek the Word of the Lord and discover that the light for our path is found in Him.

God is love. He can be defined by 1 word: Love. God is love. That's who He is and what He's like. Put your eyes on Him and Him alone—no other prophecy, preacher, politician, or political party. In the middle of a broken and shaking world of suspicion, look to Jesus. 

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger discusses the three essentials of love: love initiates, love demonstrates, and love activates.

In an era when algorithms greatly influence our thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and daily routines, it is crucial to revisit the core of our relationship with God. We need to rely on our own relationship with God. We need to rely on our own Holy Spirit-led discernment rather than letting others decide for us, or we risk anchoring our lives on the unstable sands of worldly culture, every wind of doctrine, and popular Christian trend.

Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker warns us of the dangers of the many voices of the world, and encourages us to tune ourselves to God's voice.

There is a tension in life that, as Christian, we need to pay attention to. There are times when we have been called and equipped to do certain things. There are other times when we really just need to get our of the Lord's way. In order to know when those times are, we need to be still before Him.

Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Cory Meade explores the relationship between silence and the Lord's call on our lives.

Join us in Chapel Hill for our next installment of the Voices of the Congregation series as our four speakers share how God gave them creative ideas for business and art. Hear how these ideas have transferred to Kingdom impact in their lives and communities.

God has intentions in His heart, with patterns for how spiritual life is designed and functions. What He does on earth comes from these heavenly patterns. Jesus is our heavenly pattern. Our lives are shaped by Him, not by the world. When knowledge, experiences, or ministry no longer draw us closer to Christ, we are only chasing shadows.

Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to live a life marked by the values of the Kingdom of Heaven.

One of the most freeing truths of the gospel is that Jesus doesn't bring light to expose us for judgement, but to rescue us with mercy. While darkness thrives on fear, concealment, and shame, the light of Christ reveals a better way where mercy triumphs over judgement and grace meets us right where we are. Though we may choose to walk in the darkness, Jesus reminds us that we don't belong there. His mercies are new every morning, like the dawn breaking through a long night.

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to step boldly into the light of Jesus, receive the mercy He freely gives, and lives under the law of liberty where the light we fear is actually the light that frees us.

Darkness is easy to see in our world, and can quietly lure into our hearts. Even though Jesus stepped into our darkness so we would never have to live there (John 3:16–21), people often choose their own way over the Light and find themselves walking in darkness. The good news is that in Christ, we have been called out of darkness and into His marvelous light.

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade calls us to choose the Light, walk in repentance and freedom, and live fully in the place we belong.

Your identity shapes your reality. The stories of Peter, Moses, Harriet Tubman, and Jesus all reveal the power of living from God's future, not from our past.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger explores how living from who God says we are—even before seeing it fulfilled—changes how you we act, think, and believe today.
