    Join us in our new series, "Committed," where Trevor, Amanda and their guest Grady Barber explore the vital role of the church in today's uncertain world.

  • Bring Heaven to Earth

    In this episode, we dive deep into the profound message from Sunday’s sermon on the transformative power of bringing heaven to earth. Life often feels like a relentless struggle, a personal hell filled with diagnoses, job issues, and wayward children. But what if we could change that? What if, through our actions and faith, we could experience and share a piece of heaven right here, right now?

    Join us as we explore how to navigate life’s toughest challenges by embracing the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6:9-15, the Lord’s Prayer. We’ll discuss the importance of community, the intimacy of calling God "Father," and the revolutionary idea that we can experience heaven on earth through forgiveness.

    Hear a powerful personal story of betrayal and the long journey to forgiveness, illustrating how forgiveness brings freedom and restores peace. We’ll also look at practical steps we can take to bring heaven to earth for those around us by healing, helping, and giving generously.

    Tune in to discover how we, as a church, can be people of peace, hope dealers, and heaven givers. Learn how simple acts of kindness, like supporting single parents or praying over those in crisis, can make a profound impact.

    In this episode, we challenge you to reflect on who you need to forgive, including yourself, and how you can start sharing the peace and hope you’ve received with others. Let’s work together to rescue others from their personal hells by stepping into their struggles and showing them the love and light of heaven.
