Sacred Spaces | Byron Wicker | Chapel Hill

In Mark 9, Jesus took three of His disciples up a mountain. There, there were no crowds, no miracles, no sermons. In that place, created by stillness and separation, something extraordinary occurred. Greater than all the healings and miracles before it, the true nature of Christ was revealed. Sometimes we need to pause long enough to create space for God. When we do, heaven often breaks through.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Pastor Byron Wicker dives into Mark 9 and its significance for our church in the modern age.

Walking in the Blessing | Ashley Pell | Mooresville

In the introduction to his famous teaching on the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus begins by teaching who is blessed (Matt. 5:3–10). When we walk through life and experience all of its trials and tribulations, it's easy to believe that God's blessing has left us. But the reality of the Kingdom is different, and God's blessing does not leave us when the world turns against us.
 
Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Ashley Pell encourages us in the knowledge that God's face shines upon us even when hardship surrounds us.

Sent One | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

In John 20, we find Jesus stepping back onto the scene after His resurrection. In this "encore," Jesus speaks peace over fearful disciples, breathes the Holy Spirit upon them, and declares, "As the Father sent Me, so I am sending you." We are sent ones—called with authority, filled with the Spirit, grounded in peace, and released to carry forgiveness into a world that desperately needs it.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade unpacks what it means to be sent by Jesus in our everyday lives as vessels for His peace, Spirit, and forgiveness.

What is the Gospel of the Kingdom | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

When Jesus showed up, there was a shift in mindsets (i.e. repentance) which needed to happen in order for the Kingdom to be released in power. It's the same with us, we need a shift in how we view the Gospel in order that we might effectively share it with others in power.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger unpacks the transformative and equipping power of our perspective of the Gospel.

From Revelation to Relationship | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

In Revelation 19:10, John fell at the feet of an angel to worship, but the angel quickly corrected him. That moment reminded John that even the most amazing revelations and heavenly visions point to one Person—Jesus Christ. Our aim isn't just to have experiences but to follow Him. Encounters are part of the journey, but Jesus is the ultimate destination.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker reflects on the journey we take on the path towards becoming one with Christ.

Turning Your House into a Home | Cory Meade | Wilmington

We look forward to our eternal home in heaven. But as a Christian, we have a partnership with the Lord that we get to undertake while we're still here on earth. Jesus intends to make us into a home during that time. But sometimes turning our house into a home involves some needed renovations. 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Cory Meade joins us with an exploration of the tension between Heaven and Earth and our places in it.

The Benediction | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

When Paul closed his final letter to the Church at Corinth (2 Corinthians 13:14), he wasn't just signing off politely. His last words carried the heartbeat of everything he had written. This beautiful, heartfelt blessing wasn't a formula—it was a holy invitation into the fullness of the Triune God. 
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker explores the meaning for us in Paul's words to the Corinthians, and how it can be applied to our lives.

Grace in the Rising Tide | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Throughout Scripture, God calls His people to pay attention to the seasons because knowing the season helps us know what the Father is doing. During a season of the rising tide His presence and grace increase, drawing us closer, carrying us forward, and reshaping what's around us. 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade teaches us to recognize the rising tide of God's Spirit and how to move with Him in seasons of increase.

Forgiveness is the Power of the Gospel | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

The Gospel is powerful! It's good news. Paul writes emphatically: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes." Do you know what makes the Gospel so powerful? Forgiveness. The Gospel begins with forgiveness. Without being reminded how much you have been forgiven, there is no way to powerfully share the Gospel.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger encourages us to forgive others and release the spiritual strength of forgiveness in our lives.

Love and Holiness | Wieslaw Ziemba | Mooresville

God is love (1 John 4:8), and He also says, "Be holy, for I am holy" (1 Peter 1:16). Love reveals God's heart; holiness reveals His purity. Love without holiness can dilute God's standards, while holiness without love can make Him seem strict. But together, love and holiness show the beauty of His nature—pure love that transforms us. True holiness is not rule-keeping; it comes from following Christ.
 
Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Wieslaw Ziemba explores the benefits of obedience and a life lived following Jesus.
