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.

Corinthians pt. 4: What Have You Learned from the Past? | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

If we refuse to learn from the past, we are destined to repeat the same cycles of compromise, immaturity, and unbelief. Through the stories of Israel's wilderness journey, the faith legacy of Timothy's mother and grandmother, and honest reflections from life. God preserved Scripture and the testimonies of the faithful so that we could grow into spiritual maturity, walk in live, and trust in the faithfulness of God.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill for Mother's Day as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger explores Paul's warning to the church in the fourth part of his series on Corinthians.

Beware the Leaven | Cory Meade | Mooresville

There is a seemingly random episode in the Gospels where Jesus suddenly turns to the disciples and tells them to beware the "leaven of the Pharisees." It's anything but random, though. Jesus is warning them to watch out for hardening their hearts against the Kingdom. We see the disciples do this frequently when they rely on their own ability to provide. We can easily be like the disciples in this way. The good news is that there is heavenly leaven that we can go after!
 
Join us in Mooresville as Pastor Cory Meade encourages us to allow the leaven of Heaven to infect every area of our lives, rather than the leaven of the world.

What's Robbing You | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Beneath the surface "thieves" are often robbing us of the full life Jesus promises. The good news is that through His resurrection, Jesus offers us abundant life now (Romans 6:4; Ephesians 2:4–5; John 10:10), empowering us to recognize and resist the subtle things that steal our joy and peace. 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores how to identify the "little foxes" in our lives and step into the fullness Jesus has already made available.
