In Jesus' time, marriages were arranged by the fathers. After the agreement, the groom returned to his father's house to prepare for his bride, while they had little direct contact. Instead, the bridegroom's friend helped prepare the bride. This tradition beautifully illustrates our role in helping to prepare the Bride of Christ and ultimately becoming that Bride. 
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker invites us to partner with the Holy Spirit in preparing the world for Christ's return.

We all know what it's like to get caught in the cycle of wanting to do what's right, only to find ourselves falling back into the same struggles. In Romans 8, Paul reveals that true freedom comes through the power of the life-giving Spirit. With the power of the Spirit we can walk confidently as adopted sons and daughters, free from condemnation.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade continues his series in Romans by unpacking what it means to live by the Spirit.

When discussing a new revelation on fasting which was right for the time in Mark 2, Jesus used the metaphor of the wineskin. New wine cannot fit into an old wineskin. In saying this, Jesus modeled a way of moving into new revelation. We all go through personal and community transition, but change can be challenging. How do we adapt when God is moving us into a new season or a new wineskin?
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Michael Pham encourages us in moving through new seasons with wisdom in the form of a new wineskin.

The Christian life doesn't revolve around moving from dependence to independence. Rather, it motes from spiritual immaturity to walking in partnership with God. Jesus' grace invites us into the Kingdom, while the Father's love shapes our identity. The Holy Spirit's fellowship leads us to live as sons and daughters who faithfully steward and partner is what is God's.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker invites us to consider what God has given us, what He plans for us, and how we may better steward our piece in His plan.

As we celebrate independence, it's easy to believe that freedom comes from relying on ourselves. But in Romans 7, Paul reveals a surprising truth: the Christian life isn't about trying harder or becoming better through our own efforts. The law exposes our need for Jesus, but only a life of dependence on Him brings true freedom from sin, shame, and striving.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade continues this series in Romans by exploring what it means to live in freedom that comes from complete dependence in Jesus.

The resurrection of Jesus isn't just the foundation of our faith, it's the power that makes the entire Christian life possible. Everything Paul has taught about maturity, unity, spiritual gifts, and love depends on one historical event. Christ is risen—and because he lives, everything He promised is possible. 
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger concludes his series on 1 Corinthians with an exultant proclamation that Christ is risen!

Every one of us will face rivers we have never crossed before. Some are joyful, some are painful, and some are unexpected. But every river has one thing in common. God already owns both sides. He is not surprised by what is happening in your life. He is not pacing on the opposite shore, wondering whether you'll make it. He is already there, preparing the way for you.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to trust the path God has laid before us and to leap into the River in faith.

As followers of Jesus, it's easy to slip into thinking we have to earn God's approval through our own efforts. Yet, Romans reminds us that the purpose of the Law was never to save us, it was to reveal our need for a Savior. God's grace has always pointed us toward faith in Jesus, and why freedom is found not in self-reliance, but trusting Him completely.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade shares a brief message which helps us discover the freedom that comes through faith alone.

Scripture reveals that praying in tongues strengthens the believer, deepens our intimacy with God, helping us pray according to His will, and lifting our hearts towards the realities of heaven. This heavenly gift can renew out spiritual lives and draw us closer to the presence of God.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill for the next installment of the series through 1 Corinthians as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger explores why this gift of the Holy Spirit is far more than a misunderstood spiritual practice.

Many believers struggle when seasons change. We often cling to a role, a title, a ministry, or to how God previously used us. When those things change, it can feel like we've lost something vital. It's important not to get stuck in a past season, because our identity isn't based on what was. The Holy Spirit encourages us to stay open and ready for new assignments that come our way.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to make ourselves available to the Lord and to see where He leads us.
