Seen, Known, and Loved | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

It is believed that Psalm 139 was written around the time of David's sin with Bathsheba, perhaps after he had repented and experienced God's presence more deeply. In that moment, David realized something remarkable: even with his sins and failures, he was still precious to God. This reveals something valuable about the heart of God; before we get it right or wrong, His attention and loyal love are already resting on us.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker explores the depths of God's love for us through his intimate knowledge of us.

Do You Know Their Story? | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

True love initiates, demonstrates, and activates—and it moves us beyond judging behavior to listening to people's stories. Through the Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus calls us to radical compassion, challenging us to ask whether we avoid messy people, merely observe them, or truly enter into their pain. When we cry, "Give me Jesus," we are asking for His worldview—one that sees past altered behavior to wounded hearts and responds with mercy.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger examines Jesus' words in John 5:41–42, and reminds us that without God's love within us, out approval and even our ministry mean nothing.

Unexpected Journeys | Cory Meade | Mooresville

It would be really convenient if we could plan out all the steps of our life. But in reality, that rarely happens. As a side effect of our lives here on Earth, there will always be elements we cannot control. The question to be asked is: How will we react when life throws unexpected turns at us?
 
Join us in Mooresville as Pastor Cory Meade explores the story of Jacob and Rachel to see what lessons we can learn about the unexpected journey of life.

The Throne is Occupied | Sam Johnston | Mooresville

What do we do when evil feels exposed and overwhelming? The facts of modern political corruption are not new. This was a world state that the Biblical authors were well aware of, though it may be challenging to us today. In the midst of our personal struggles with all that we see, we can look to the Biblical authors for examples of how to process our grief and anger, while trusting the one who declares, "Behold, I am making all things new."
 
Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Sam Johnston teaches on Revelation 21:5, reflecting on present world events and grieving rightly through a Biblical lens.

The Light for Your Path | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

God speaks in different ways and through different types of words. Sometimes His word illuminates the whole path ahead, other times He simply lights our next step (Psalm 119:105). Yet at the center of it all is this truth, the Word and the Light ultimately lead us to a Person. When we're desperate for direction, Jesus often invites us deeper into His presence. 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to seek the Word of the Lord and discover that the light for our path is found in Him.

Give Me Jesus Pt. 1 | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

God is love. He can be defined by 1 word: Love. God is love. That's who He is and what He's like. Put your eyes on Him and Him alone—no other prophecy, preacher, politician, or political party. In the middle of a broken and shaking world of suspicion, look to Jesus. 
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger discusses the three essentials of love: love initiates, love demonstrates, and love activates.

Building Lives that Carry Heaven | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

In an era when algorithms greatly influence our thoughts, behaviors, beliefs, and daily routines, it is crucial to revisit the core of our relationship with God. We need to rely on our own relationship with God. We need to rely on our own Holy Spirit-led discernment rather than letting others decide for us, or we risk anchoring our lives on the unstable sands of worldly culture, every wind of doctrine, and popular Christian trend.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Head Pastor Byron Wicker warns us of the dangers of the many voices of the world, and encourages us to tune ourselves to God's voice.

Be Still and Know | Cory Meade | Wilmington

There is a tension in life that, as Christian, we need to pay attention to. There are times when we have been called and equipped to do certain things. There are other times when we really just need to get our of the Lord's way. In order to know when those times are, we need to be still before Him.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Cory Meade explores the relationship between silence and the Lord's call on our lives.
