In this message, our good friend Joel Power, Lead Pastor of Bethel New York, explores the story of the feeding of the 5,000 from John 6:1-15. He explains the power of offering; understanding that God uses what you present to Him, no matter how small, the purpose of testing; discovering how God uses seasons of testing to develop character and prepare believers for future prayers, and servant leadership; emphasizing that the heart of leadership is serving people and remaining grounded in God's presence.

What if the purpose of missions isn't obligation, but overflow? Founding Pastor Charles Stock draws from Psalm 67 and God's promise to Abraham, this message explores how we are blessed to be a blessing, and how the joy of encountering God's presence becomes the very fuel for reaching the nations. We look at what happens when personal transformation meets global mission: hearts filled with the Spirit's love become the delivery system for God's blessing to the world. And we trace how the gospel has shaped cultures through music, science, literacy, compassion, and liberty. Come thirsty. Leave ready to pray, obey, and give, and to abound in hope.

We chase mountaintop moments — those bursts of clarity, joy, and undeniable closeness with God — and dread the valleys that follow. But what if we've been measuring them wrong? Drawing from the Mount of Transfiguration, the Crucifixtion, and a hospital waiting room, Family Life Pastor, Travis Johnston, challenges the idea that mountaintops are marked by how good we feel and valleys by how much we suffer. Instead, he makes the case that God gives us mountaintop moments not to keep us there, but to change how we live when we come back down to the valley. A message about worship in the wreckage, faith without answers, and what it means to carry what we've received into ordinary life.
