"Undeserved Favor" | August 17, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on August 18th, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of righteousness and God's grace. The Sermon on the Mount, particularly Matthew 5:17-48, serves as the cornerstone of this teaching. Jesus' words here aren't just about following rules; they're about recognizing our deep need for a Savior. We're reminded that trying to earn God's favor through our own efforts is futile. Instead, Jesus invites us into a new way of living - one where we join His 'yoke' and allow Him to carry our burdens. This beautiful metaphor illustrates how walking with Christ lightens our load, not because life becomes easier, but because we're no longer carrying it alone. The message encourages us to embrace God's unearned favor and live in the freedom it provides, breaking the power of condemnation over our lives. As we surrender to God's grace, we become living examples of His transformative power, pointing others to the incredible love and kindness of Christ.  Read More

"Finding True Freedom" | July 20, 2025 | Ps Amber George
by Amber George on July 21st, 2025
In this powerful message, we're invited to explore the journey from a life centered on ourselves to one rooted in our true identity as God's beloved children. Using the story of Barbie as a metaphor, we're shown how our perfectly constructed 'us-lands' are often shaken by crisis, revealing the illusion of control and perfection we cling to. The core truth highlighted is that our authentic identity isn't found in the world we build, but in the One who built us. As we wrestle with life's big questions - 'Who am I?' and 'What's my purpose?' - we're reminded that only our Creator can provide those answers. The message emphasizes that true freedom comes through surrender to God, not through maintaining control or comfort. It challenges us to give our 'yes' to God, even when it means saying 'no' to our old ways of living. This journey of identity and purpose is beautifully illustrated through Psalm 139, reminding us that we are intimately known, purposefully created, and deeply loved by God.  Read More

"Living Water" | June 22, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on June 29th, 2025
Are we truly thirsty for God's presence in our lives? This powerful message invites us to drink from the river of living water - the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Jesus' words in John 7:37-39, we're reminded that anyone who is thirsty can come to Him and drink. This living water brings life, freedom, and abundance. Just as the Nile River sustains life in Egypt, the Holy Spirit sustains our spiritual lives. When we're filled with the Spirit, we naturally overflow with God's love and power. It's not about duty or rules, but about experiencing the life-giving presence of God. Are we positioning ourselves to receive from God? Let's come to the river with humility and expectation, ready for God to move in our lives in powerful ways.  Read More

"The Power of Sin" | March 30, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on March 31st, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to confront the reality of sin and its devastating effects on our lives. We explore the concept of SENS - Separation from God, Enslavement to death, Never hitting the mark, and Shame that binds us. The message takes us back to the original sin in Genesis, reminding us that we all fall short of God's glorious standard. But here's the beautiful truth: God's hatred for sin stems from His deep love for us. He hates what sin does to His beloved creation. This realization sets the stage for understanding the true power of God's amazing grace. We're invited to see ourselves not through the lens of our failures, but through God's eyes - as His cherished children whom He longs to set free. This message encourages us to embrace the 'privilege of repentance' and to continually surrender to God's transformative love.  Read More
