Memory is a very important concept in the Old Testament, appearing over 230 times, even being cited as the reason the Bible was first written (Exodus 17:14). Memory also plays a large part in our own lives, as a foundation for who we are. What do we do with memories that we have that we'd prefer not to, and what do we do with the memories that we don't have that we wish we did?

Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Cory Meade dives into the Biblical significance of memory and what it means for our Christian lives.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his exploration of Hebrews with a message on humility and God's grace.

Leaven is all about influence. Once mixed into the dough, it spreads throughout the whole lump, working quietly and unseen, transforming everything and causing it to rise. Both Jesus and Paul warn that even a tiny amount of the wrong influence is how the enemy subtly works to bring destruction. But the good news is that Jesus offers us the life-giving leaven of His Kingdom, shaping us from the inside out.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker dives into the dangers of worldly influences and the power of heavenly influences.

From Moses at Mount Sinai, God's desire has always been to have a nation of priests. Today, as parents, employees or employers, and community members, we have an opportunity to "stand in the gap" for the people in our lives through the ministry of reconciliation.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his teaching of Hebrews with an exploration of our roles in the modern priesthood.

In every season, God is working His divine plan in our lives. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that there is an appointed time for everything. In this year of "double grace," God is breathing fresh life into His people, calling us to rise above past disappointments and embrace His Spirit's power. Just as Ezekiel prophesied over dry bones (Ezekiel 37), we are called to speak life into what seems lost, knowing that his breath brings transformation.

Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Deborah Davis explores how to walk in God's grace and embrace the new things God is doing in this season.

Portions of Scripture or Bible verses are often referred to as "passages." The word "passage" comes from the idea of something you move through or travel across—like a pathway or a journey. Jesus' Parables are passages. They not only reveal how the Kingdom works, but they also help us move from a worldly mindset to a Kingdom mindset.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his exploration of the parable of the sower as the keystone to Jesus' other parables about the Kingdom.

Acts 9 recollects this about the early church: "Then the churches were... walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied." (Acts 9:31 NKJV). Today, there is more of the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the fear of the Lord.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Pastor Sarah Bollinger encourages us to allow Jesus to multiply His grace towards us as we grow in our love for people.

The Parable of the Sower is the key to unlocking the meaning of all parables (Mark 4:13). The Parable of Seed Growing complements it, shedding light on the Parable of the Sower. Together, they are vital because the principles of God’s kingdom are intricately tied to the process of seeds—planting, growth, and harvest. These parables reveal spiritual dynamics of faith and God’s work.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker explores the parables Jesus uses to explain the Kingdom of Heaven.

Sheep are not known for their strength, independence, or survival skills—they need a shepherd. In John 10, Jesus declared Himself as the Good Shepherd, the one who leads, protects, and provides for His flock. But, do we recognize our need for Him? Do we trust Him to guide us, or are we trying to navigate life on our own?

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores what it means for Jesus to be our shepherd, and how embracing this relationship changes everything.
