Is God speaking to you right now?

We often wish God would speak to us clearly, but the truth is, the problem usually isn’t that He has stopped speaking—it’s that we have become too accustomed to the noise of the world. We want God to speak on our terms, but He often calls us in the quiet, the unexpected, and the mundane. In this message, "Wake Up," we kick off our new series, LISTEN: When God Speaks, Everything Changes. By looking at the story of young Samuel in 1 Samuel 3, we explore how to move from not recognizing God’s voice to walking in His plan. If you are ready to stop drifting and start hearing, it's time to wake up.

In this sermon, you will learn: Why God often speaks when you least expect it. How to position yourself to hear God’s voice on His terms. The connection between spiritual maturity and the ability to listen. Why the people you surround yourself with can either amplify or dampen God's voice in your life.

Key Scripture:

"Then the Lord called Samuel, and he answered, 'Here I am.'" — 1 Samuel 3:4

Scripture Reference List

1 Samuel 3:1-10 – The call of Samuel: Learning to recognize and respond to the voice of God.

John 10:27 – "My sheep hear My voice, I know them, and they follow Me." Psalm 1:1 – The importance of who we surround ourselves with in our spiritual walk.

Are you holding on too tight?

We all want a full life—full of purpose, joy, and meaning—but so many of us spend our time trying to fill it ourselves, leaving us running on empty. What if the secret to a life that truly overflows isn't about how much you can hold onto, but how much you are willing to pour out? In this message, "When God Becomes Your Source" we continue our Overflow series by diving into 2 Corinthians 9.

While many treat generosity as just a financial issue, the truth is that it is a fundamental heart issue. When we learn to live with open hands, we stop viewing giving as a "loss" and start seeing it as the spiritual planting that leads to a harvest of grace. In this sermon, you will learn: Why generosity is a matter of the heart rather than an obligation. The difference between "sowing sparingly" and "sowing bountifully." How to overcome the fear that often prevents us from being generous. The four powerful fruits that result from a life lived open-handed: supplied needs, increased thanksgiving, demonstrated faith, and strengthened community.

Key Scripture:

"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver." — 2 Corinthians 9:7

Scripture Reference List

2 Corinthians 9:6 – The principle of sowing and reaping.

2 Corinthians 9:7-8 – Generosity as a heart-led, cheerful response to God’s grace.

2 Corinthians 9:10-14 – The fourfold results of generosity in the life of the believer.

2 Corinthians 9:15 – The ultimate act of generosity: God’s indescribable gift.

Are you ready for a harvest?

We all want a life full of purpose, joy, and meaning, but we often find ourselves frustrated by our current circumstances while neglecting the seeds we are planting today. If you want to live a life that overflows, you have to stop trying to fill it yourself and start planting in the right soil. In this message, "It Starts with a Seed," we continue our Overflow series by looking at the powerful truth in Galatians 6. Every harvest begins with a seed, and every seed matters. We explore why we cannot reap what we wish for—only what we sow—and why God often uses our smallest, most intentional acts to bring about a massive impact.

In this sermon, you will learn: Why life moves in the direction of what you plant. The difference between sowing to the "flesh" versus sowing to the "Spirit." How to push past the temptation to quit when the harvest feels delayed. Practical ways to plant intentionally and trust God with the increase. Key Scripture: "Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap."

— Galatians 6:7 Scripture Reference List Galatians 6:7-8

– The principle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:9-10

– The call to perseverance in doing good. John 15:5

– The necessity of remaining connected to the Vine for fruitfulness. Ephesians 3:20-21

In the book of Acts, everything changed when the Holy Spirit came. Ordinary people were filled with extraordinary power—fear turned into boldness, and waiting turned into a movement. The Church became unstoppable, and that same Spirit is still moving today. In this message, "From a Moment to a Movement," we explore how we are not just saved to sit; we are empowered to live, serve, and go. You weren't created for a one-time experience; you were created to be part of a mission.

Key points covered in this sermon:

The Holy Spirit creates moments (Acts 2:1-13)

The Holy Spirit forms community (Acts 2:42)

The Holy Spirit brings transformation (Acts 2:43-47)

Scripture: Acts 2:1-13, 42-47 Series:

In the book of Acts, everything changed when the Holy Spirit arrived. Ordinary people were filled with extraordinary power—fear turned to boldness, and waiting turned into an unstoppable movement. But there’s a crucial truth we can't miss: the Holy Spirit didn’t just show up randomly. He moved when God's people were aligned, together, in the right place. If you've been feeling stuck, isolated, or like your faith is stagnant, this message from our "Empowered" series is for you. You weren’t just saved to sit; you were empowered to live, serve, and go. Let’s stop looking for just a temporary spiritual moment, and start building the right environment for God to move.

On this Mother’s Day, we dive into a powerful question: Is there more?

Many of us are living lives that feel "formless and empty," much like the chaos described in Genesis. We’ve been saved, but we’re sitting. We have the promise, but we lack the power. In this message, we explore Jesus' radical invitation in John 7 to those who are spiritually thirsty.

In this video, you will discover:

• The Invitation to Come: Why Jesus invites you into His presence before you have it all figured out.

• The Invitation to be Filled: How "Christ in you" is not just a better version of your old life, but an entirely different way of living.

• The Invitation to Overflow: Using the examples of the Woman at the Well and Mary Magdalene to see how a life filled by the Spirit becomes a source of life for everyone else.

Scripture References:

• John 7:37-38

• John 4:28-30

• Genesis 1:2

• Colossians 1:27

Key Takeaway:

The powerfully healed become powerful healers. God doesn't just want to pour into you; He wants to flow through you. If you feel like you’re running on fumes, it’s time to trade your "water jar" for the "living water" that never runs dry.
