Go in Peace | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Jesus sends us out into the world with His peace, as seen in Matthew 10. That peace is not only a part of God's character but also a vital aspect of the Gospel, and we are invited to embody and share this peace in our communities. In a world filled with turmoil, we are called to bless others with the peace we've received, as illustrated in Ephesians 6:15. We are also encouraged to take peace with us into the world as a result of the encounters we have with Jesus.
 
Join us this week in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade reflects on how we can actively go into peace, making a difference in our lives and the lives of those around us.

The Heart of Our Vision | Byron Wicker | Chapel Hill

The Book of Psalms contains a beautiful prophetic picture of what God desires His house, the church, to be. It is meant to be a place of rest, peace, joy, satisfaction, protection, and abundance. But above all, the defining characteristic of God's house is His tangible presence. It is in His presence that the church finds its fullness.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker shares his revelations on the truth and purpose of God's house, and how to steward it well.

The God of All Comfort | Andy Squyres | Mooresville

In this life, there will be pain and strife, trials and tribulations. But, praise be to the God of all comforts (2 Corinthians 1:3). As we walk through the valleys of life and face circumstances which try our patience and faith, we have an opportunity to lean on the Holy Spirit, and look to God as our source of comfort. We will suffer as a fact of this world, but the truth is that we have God at our back.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Pastor Andy Squyres shares a message of encouragement for all those who are experiencing the discomfort of life.

Living from a Place of Peace | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Philippians 4:6-9 provides a blueprint for living from a place of peace, and emphasizes that peace itself is from God and surpasses all our understanding. Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble and sorrow, but we can be hopeful and continue living in peace because he has overcome the world through his life, death, and resurrection (John 16:33).
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade continues his exploration of peace with reflections on God's peace in the midst of life's challenges.

Making Good Decisions | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Have you ever had a big decision to make? How did Jesus make decisions, big or small? Do you think he ever questioned his decisions, like choosing Judas? If we are truly "following Jesus," we want to make decisions about our life in the same way that he did. Here's what we know: He only did what he saw the Father doing, and he never made any decisions based out of fear.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his series on Following Jesus with a message about decisions. Let perfect Love fill you as you listen.

Put on the Shoes of Peace | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

In the midst of the external and internal conflict that is prevalent in the world around us, we need to understand the significance of standing firm in God's peace. Ephesians 6:10-18 focuses of the vital role of the "shoes of peace" in our spiritual armor and reminds us of our need for the Good News of Peace. Scripture shows us that the nature of God's peace is a fundamental aspect of His character (Phil. 4:9, Rom. 16:20) and is a vital part of the Kingdom of God (Rom. 14:17). 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade discusses the importance of grounding our peace in Christ, rather than fleeting self-help strategies and to thank Him for the lasting peace that only He can provide.

God in the Ordinary | Niko Peele | Chapel Hill

I once heard the Lord say to me, "I am real and I am always speaking." This is the starting point with learning to hear the voice of God: If God is Truth and Reality, then everything else is a lie and counterfeit. He is real, and He is always speaking, the issue is not a speaking issue, but a listening and a hearing issue. 
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as guest speaker Niko Peele shares a message on four of the most common ways to hear the voice of God.

Where is the God of Elijah? | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Elijah, nearing his end on earth, tested Elisha's commitment, yet Elisha refused to give up. (2 Kings 2:1-14). Elisha focused on inheriting Elijah's prophetic spirit and remained steadfast despite distractions. Today, this story warns us about all the voices and who and what we should focus on. Staying focused on what the Holy Spirit is doing, persevering through challenges, and trusting His promises will be fulfilled are our paths to victory.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his look at the life of Elijah with a message about focus in the midst of life's distractions.

Knowing the Father | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

David wrote, "The same way a loving father feels towards his children—that's but a sample of [God's] tender feelings towards us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you." (Psalms 103:13). If you are going to know Jesus, you need to know His Father. If you are going to follow Jesus, you need to follow the leading & guidance of the Father, also, because Jesus said, "I can only do what I see my Father doing." We are the same.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger shares a message and a prayer for fresh revelation of the Father.
