Romans pt. 1: Sold Out, Sent Out | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

The book of Romans is one of Pau's most rich and influential letters, revealing the power of the gospel to transform lives and unite God's people. To begin our summer journey through Romans, we explore the background of Paul's letter and dive deeper into how he was sold out to Jesus and sent out in his calling.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade kicks off this new series on Romans with an outline of the foundational truth which runs through the entire letter: we are made right with God by faith from start to finish.

What are You Drinking? | Becky Wicker | Chapel Hill

In Jeremiah 2, God contrasts the Fountain of Living Water with the broken cisterns we often build through self-effort, religion, and striving. As the pressures of the age increase, this message offers a refreshing call back to the source of life itself: Christ in you, the hope of glory. The answer is not doing more for God, but simply being with Him and allowing His life to flow through you.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Pastor Becky Wicker reminds us that God’s invitation is not to work harder but to cling to Christ, drink deeply from His grace, and find renewed strength, healing, and fresh purpose in His presence.

Transformation Through His Presence | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Truths about transformation: What you worship shapes you, what you behold transforms you, and what fills you flows from you. The Father loves you as you are, yet He is committed to transforming you into the image of Jesus. In His Kingdom, you never retire from purpose. You are re-fired for greater impact in the Father's hands. 
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker warns us against allowing the world—or our flesh—to dictate who we become.

Be My Witness | Cory Meade | Wilmington

There is a strong Biblical precedent for remembering the things the Lord has done for us. Our testimony—rooted in remembering what the Lord has done in our lives—gives us steady ground to stand on, and allows us to be effective witnesses to the nations on behalf of Christ, as we are called to do.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Cory Meade explores the relationship between remembrance, testimony, and evangelism from a Biblical context.

Corinthians pt. 6: One Body, Many Parts | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul reminds the church that spiritual gifts were never meant to create competition, comparison, or division—they were given to build up the Body of Christ. Pentecost is a time to remember how the Holy Spirit empowers every believer with unique gifts.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his series on Corinthians with a message calling us to unity, mutual honor, and a shared mission so that together we can reveal Jesus to the world.

Built for Presence | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

The Book of Ephesians emphasizes identity, spiritual growth, and the Church as God's living household. It highlights the Church's ultimate purpose, showing that it's not just a building for gathering but a community being shaped into His dwelling. God's heart is for us to grow into a community that values His presence more than any performance or agenda.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to lean into relationship with Christ, the author and finisher of our faith.

Becoming Childlike Again | Mary Meade | Wilmington

So many of us are weary from carrying burdens we were never meant to hold—pressure to perform, fear of failure, striving, anxiety, and self-reliance. But Jesus reveals that the kingdom belongs to the humble, teachable, trusting heart of a child. There is an invitation to lay down what's exhausting you, return to intimacy with the Father, and rediscover the rest that comes from living as sons and daughters.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Mary Meade dives back into Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11:25–30 to find rest through childlike dependence on the Father in this expansion on last week's message.

Corinthians pt. 5: The Way of Escape | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we uncover three primary areas of temptation—flesh, fear, and compromise—and discover how trusting God, anchoring ourselves in our identity in Christ, and walking in obedience leads to lasting victory. Paul's powerful promise is that temptation is common, but God is always faithful to provide a way out.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his series in Corinthians with a warning against spiritual compromise and a hopeful reminder in the strengthening in victory over temptation from 1 Corinthians 10.

Jeremiah's Sword | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

In an era filled with countless voices vying for attention, the Holy Spirit offers a golden sword. He desires to place His words in our mouths, as He did with Jeremiah the Prophet (Jeremiah 1:9). This sword symbolizes authority that comes from intimacy, brokenness, and surrender. It serves as both an invitation and a warning. Before we can be trusted with it, He must first carve id deeply in our hearts.
 
Join us at the park in Mooresville with a brief word from Head Pastor Byron Wicker, inviting us to find the work the Lord has given you.

Rest for the Weary | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

In the midst of our busy lives, weariness can quietly become normal. In Matthew 11:28–30, Jesus offers a different way—not freedom from responsibility, but the invitation to come to Him, work with Him, and find true rest for our souls. Jesus meets weary people with rest, and teaches us how to labor differently.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade invites us to live yoked to Jesus instead of carrying life alone.
