Are you living up to your God-given potential—or settling for comfort? In this Sunday's message, Pastor Doug unpacks James 1:2-4 and challenges us to rethink how we approach trials. True growth doesn’t come from ease, but through perseverance.

He also shares the critical role of community in this journey. You weren’t meant to do life alone. Drawing from Hebrews and the concept of “scenius,” this message explains how greatness often emerges from collaboration and how small groups can be your key to spiritual growth.

Has the word "Evangelical" lost its meaning? In this powerful message, Pastor Leonce calls out the growing confusion between political allegiance and spiritual identity. With raw honesty and biblical insight, he challenges the Church to wake up to a crisis: when 71% of believers prioritize party over pastors, what does that say about our faith?

Drawing from Acts 6:8-15 and the bold stand of Stephen, this sermon is a call to return to a faith rooted in Jesus—not politics. It’s time to reclaim the word Evangelical and live out a Gospel that reflects love, truth, and courage.

Listen now and ask yourself: Am I following Jesus… or something else?
