What happens at the table was never meant to stay there. It's meant to overflow into every part of our lives. Join us as we explore how faith received becomes faith carried into our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.

What does it mean to come back to God? Throughout Scripture, God continually calls His people back to the table, back to His presence, back to relationship, and back to the simple truth at the heart of the Shema. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength.” The Shema is more than a command to believe in God. It is an invitation to reorient our entire lives around Him. In this message, we explore what it means to come home to God. We do not come to the table because we have earned our place. We come because God has welcomed us. No matter how far we have wandered, He continues to call us back to Himself. Sometimes coming home is not about finding a new place. It is about returning to the One who has been waiting for us all along.

What if the biggest moments of your life begin with the smallest acts of obedience? In this message from our Voices series, we explore how God often works through seemingly insignificant decisions to accomplish extraordinary purposes. Just as a butterfly's wings can create effects far beyond what anyone expects, our everyday choices to trust, follow, and obey God can have an eternal impact on our lives and the lives of others. Don't underestimate the power of a simple "yes" to God. Your faithfulness in the small things may be the very thing He uses to change someone's future.

This week, we are covering the Butterfly Effect and how God can use our small acts of obedience for greater impact than we can ever know.

What does it really mean to finish well? In the final message of our Acts series, we dive into the moving words of Acts 20–28 to discover that finishing strong isn't about reaching the end of life comfortably, but reaching it faithfully. Following the Apostle Paul’s final journeys, we’ll unpack the four marks of a faith that endures: a clear mission, courage through opposition, patience in the waiting, and unwavering trust through the storm.

What happens when people move from simply knowing about God to experiencing His power firsthand? In Acts 19:1–20, Paul arrives in Ephesus and encounters people who had heard the message but had not yet received the Holy Spirit. As the gospel spreads throughout the city, lives are transformed, hearts are changed, and the power of Jesus is put on display. This passage challenges us to examine whether our faith is merely intellectual or truly surrendered to Christ. We will explore the work of the Holy Spirit, the danger of empty religion, and the kind of repentance that follows a genuine encounter with Jesus. Join us as we discover how the gospel overcomes darkness, transforms lives, and reveals the unmatched authority of Christ.

In Acts 17, Paul arrives in Athens and finds a city full of idols, people searching for meaning, and an altar dedicated "To an Unknown God." Rather than condemning their search, Paul points them to the One they have been longing for all along. This message explores how humanity was created to seek God, why every substitute ultimately leaves us empty, and how Jesus reveals the God who is no longer unknown. Whether people are searching through religion, philosophy, success, or personal achievement, the answer remains the same: God has made Himself known through Christ. Join us as we discover what Paul's sermon on Mars Hill teaches us about the deepest longing of the human heart and the invitation God extends to every person to know Him.
