In this message from A Christmas Carol, we explore what it means to be “Awake to the Now”—recovering childlike wonder, simplicity, and honesty in a spiritually distracted world. Through Scripture, Dickens, and the call of Advent, we’re reminded that real transformation doesn’t happen just by being informed, but by being confronted—emotionally, morally, and spiritually. This is a spiritual alarm clock: Wake up, child… Christ wants to shine on you.

This Advent message draws from A Christmas Carol to help us remember Love, remember Life, and remember Lament as we prepare our hearts for Christ. Just as Scrooge confronts his past with opened eyes, Scripture calls us to return to our first love, awaken to God’s truth, and let His refining work shape us.

This powerful Christmas message, A Christmas Carol: The Chains We Carry, reveals how Jesus breaks the chains of sin, selfishness, and silence that weigh down our lives. Using Scripture and iconic moments from Dickens’ classic story, it shows how the light of Christ confronts darkness and transforms the human heart. If you’re longing for hope, breakthrough, or a fresh encounter with God this Christmas, this sermon will speak deeply to you. Watch, share, and let the message of Jesus bring freedom.

From the depths to destiny—this is a story of rescue, resurrection, and real transformation. In this powerful baptism message, we trace the journey from Jonah in the deep, to Jesus in the grave, to believers rising in new life today. If you’ve ever felt stuck, broken, or far from God, this message is for you. Discover how God still turns dark places into divine purpose and how new life is possible for anyone in Christ. Watch, be encouraged, and celebrate lives being made new before your eyes.

Jonah wasn’t just running—he was resisting God’s grace. This message uncovers the raw, all-too-human battle between stubbornness, calling, and compassion. If you’ve ever wrestled with God’s plan, this will hit home. Faith. Grace. Purpose. Transformation. Watch now and discover why Jesus is the “Better Jonah”… and what that means for you today.

Sometimes, the most honest response to the things God desires for us to do is the fact that we don't care. Even if we don't care, if we open our hearts to God, like Jonah, He will forge a way to bring us into His plan and purposes. It may take being "swallowed by a big fish" but He will ultimately get us to the place He wants us to be.

We’re starting a three part series on developing a lifestyle DNA of gratitude…. our thing verse for these three weeks will be first Thessalonians 5:18… If thanks in all circumstances, this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you… I hope you’ll join us for all three weeks as we discover that gratefulness is confidence in God‘s goodness and trusting him in and through the process.

Whether we are ready or not for God’s mission is not the question. We must be ready to obey God’s will - it’s truly not worth it to just be stubborn. God is relentless in His plans because He has the best interest of the mission and the missionary in mind.

We know Jonah did not want to go to Ninevah but we never were told in Sunday school the root as to why. The pride and might that was swelling in Nivevah that was swelling in Jonah too. Before we can go into the world of missions we must first be willing to know God's heart and know His compassions.

Fasting is a necessary discipline in the life of a follower of Jesus. Fasting helps bring out spiritual breakthroughs on personal, church, regional and national levels.

We live in a culture that celebrates hustle and shames rest. But what if rest isn’t laziness? What if it’s obedience?In this message, Pastor Zach Green unpacks the biblical meaning of the Sabbath and why it’s not about simply stopping, but about trusting, worshipping, and delighting in God. From creation in Genesis to Jesus’ words, “Come to Me and I will give you rest,” this message invites us to experience the kind of peace that only comes when we stop striving and start trusting.If you’ve been feeling tired, restless, or defined by your performance then this message is for you.Let go of striving, and find your rest in the finished work of Jesus.

Sometimes so much pressure is put on the noise we make to get God’s attention but when it comes to really seeing Him move it requires silence.

Gratitude is practical expression of a close, lifelong relationship with God. If giving thanks, as part of your daily life and attitude, is known to bring closeness and blessing, then it's a great thing to learn to do in every circumstance.

What is the Doxology of your life? The Doxology of your life is built by knowing you are part of the Church of Christ, by knowing His Word, by understanding the season you are in, and by praising Him in every season of life.

Corruption is all around us, but that doesn't mean it has to define us. In this message, Pastor Zach dives into the book of Jude and shows us how to deal with corruption.
