"Overcoming Obstacles" | February 16, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on February 16th, 2025
In our journey of faith, we're called to connect deeply with God and His family. This message challenges us to examine our priorities and ensure we're putting God's kingdom first, as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33. Are we allowing good things to crowd out God things in our lives? The enemy often uses subtle distractions - sports, hobbies, or even parenting styles - to hinder our connection with God's people. We're encouraged to make fellowship a priority, even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient. This isn't just about personal growth; it's about fulfilling Jesus' commandment in John 13 to love one another deeply, showing the world we are His disciples. As we align our priorities with God's, we may find He provides exactly what we need, opening doors for meaningful connections and spiritual growth we never anticipated.  Read More

"Build & Block" | February 9, 2025 | Ps Christina Lowery
by Amber George on February 10th, 2025
In our journey of faith, we're called to build and block - to construct godly relationships while defending against the enemy's attempts to divide us. The story of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem's walls offers a powerful metaphor: we must work with one hand and wield a sword with the other. This teaches us to be intentional about fostering connections within our church family, encouraging one another, and staying committed even when challenges arise. Just as those who are planted in God's house will flourish, we too can thrive when we remain rooted in our faith community. Let's resist the temptation to isolate ourselves, recognizing that the enemy seeks to devour those who are alone. Instead, we're encouraged to think of ways to motivate one another, put courage into each other, and stay connected. This message challenges us to examine our own involvement in our faith community and consider how we can deepen our relationships with fellow believers.  Read More

"Unity" | February 2, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on February 3rd, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to consider the vital importance of meaningful connections within the body of Christ. Drawing inspiration from the game Connect Four, we're reminded that our faith journey isn't meant to be a solo adventure. The cornerstone of our connection is Jesus Christ himself, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:19-20. This foundation is crucial for building lasting relationships in the church. We're encouraged to resist the enemy's attempts to isolate us, likened to a lion seeking to devour its prey. Just as animals in the wild are stronger together, we too find strength and protection in our spiritual family. The message urges us to embrace our role in the body of Christ, recognizing that we not only need others, but others need us too. As we cultivate these connections, we become a powerful testimony to the world, fulfilling Christ's command to love one another and draw others to Him.  Read More
