"Grace has a Name" | April 13, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on April 14th, 2025
In this powerful message, we're reminded of the heart of God's grace through the lens of Luke 15. We explore three parables: the lost sheep, the lost coin, and the prodigal son. These stories beautifully illustrate God's relentless pursuit of the lost, emphasizing that His love isn't based on our merit, but on His character. The message challenges us to see ourselves not just as the found '99', but as part of God's search party for the 'one'. It's a call to embrace our identity as those whom Jesus loves, and to extend that same radical, illogical grace to others. This perspective shift can transform how we approach our faith, our relationships, and our purpose in God's kingdom. As we prepare for Easter, let's remember that we're all prodigals welcomed home by a loving Father, and let's join in the celebration of every lost soul found.  Read More

"The Truth about Parenting" | March 23, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on March 24th, 2025
Today, we delve into the profound responsibility and joy of parenting through a biblical lens. The message emphasizes three key requirements for godly parenting: hard work, leadership, and God's grace. We're reminded that children are a gift from the Lord, but raising them requires intentional effort and spiritual guidance. The scripture from Ephesians 6:4 calls us to 'bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord,' highlighting our role in shaping our children's faith. This journey isn't just about discipline, but about building lasting disciplines that will serve our children throughout their lives. As we reflect on our own upbringing and the legacy we're creating, we're challenged to lead our children into healthy routines, genuine faith, and enjoyable family time. The message draws a powerful parallel between spiritual training and athletic practice, reminding us that repetition and consistency are key to instilling lasting values. Ultimately, we're encouraged to rely on God's grace, acknowledging that while parenting is weighty, we're not alone in this sacred task.  Read More

"Intentional Love" | March 16, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on March 19th, 2025
In our journey of love and marriage, we're challenged to move beyond mere hope and into intentional action. The message draws from Genesis 2:24, emphasizing the Hebrew word 'debach' - to cling or adhere. This powerful concept reminds us that love in marriage isn't just about feelings, but about purposeful pursuit and unity. We're encouraged to focus on our own gaps rather than our spouse's, to prioritize their needs above our own, and to create a plan for intentional connection. By practicing daily encouragement, weekly dates, and yearly escapes, we can build marriages that don't just survive, but thrive. The lesson from Revelation 2:4-5 serves as a poignant reminder to return to our first love, both with God and our spouse. This message isn't just about improving our marriages; it's about reflecting God's love and commitment in our most intimate relationships.  Read More

"True Love" | March 2, 2025 | Eric Ward
by Amber George on March 2nd, 2025
In our exploration of love today, we're challenged to move beyond the world's shallow definition and embrace a deeper, biblical understanding. The scripture from 1 Corinthians 13 paints a vivid picture of what true love looks like - patient, kind, and selfless. But how do we live this out when it's difficult? The key lies in developing a 'kingdom mindset' - viewing the world through God's perspective and making His priorities our own. This shift in thinking empowers us to love others well, even in challenging circumstances. We're reminded of Jesus in Gethsemane, choosing God's will over His own comfort, and Paul's unwavering commitment to spread the gospel despite persecution. These examples inspire us to trust that our acts of love, no matter how small, can be multiplied by God to advance His kingdom. As we reflect on this message, let's consider how adopting a kingdom mindset might transform our relationships and deepen our capacity to love like Christ.  Read More
