Firm Foundation pt. 2 | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

We are all in the process as followers of Jesus of a metamorphosis of sorts. However, at some point we have to get out of the cocoon. If you ever want to fly and find the freedom to soar with Jesus in the Spirit, have courage to "let this mind be in you which was also in Christ" and fly!
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastor Matthew Bollinger continues his look at our Firm Foundation in Christ with an encouragement to take courage.

Light Always Overcomes Darkness | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Beginning with Genesis 1, God establishes light's ability to overcome darkness as He declares, "Let there be light." Jumping to John 1, we see that Jesus is the true light of the world, and we are called in Matthew 5 for be a light ourselves, shining in a world filled with darkness. Despite the presence of darkness, light will always prevail. As Romans 13:12 reminds us, let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and embrace the armor of light, knowing that light will always win.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Senior Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to bring our personal struggles into the light and be a beacon in out communities, for even the smallest light dispels darkness.

Firm Foundation pt. 1 | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

The Father is serious about a "sound mind" and we need to take it seriously in love & grace. This message is being emphasized across the Body of Christ in the U.S. right now to remind us and prepare us. Remember these lyrics from the old hymn: "On Christ in the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand..." How is your foundation? Is it built well? Remember, you cannot build your Christian life on anything else but Christ.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Senior Pastor Matthew Bollinger returns from sabbatical with an encouragement to root your life in Christ.

Refined by God | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Why is Elijah important for us today? Elijah lived in a time of significant spiritual and societal upheaval, much like our own, marked by widespread idolatry, moral decline, corrupt leadership, and a divided nation. Just as God had an answer in Elijah's time, He has one for today. Elijah's life is a pattern for how God prepares us for the "Elijah Anointing" that the Holy Spirit will bring in the last days.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his thought from last week with this timely message.

Encouraged Through Discipline | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Hebrews 12:1-11 establishes that divine discipline plays a vital role in our spiritual growth. We see God's corrections as signs of His live and commitment to our development as His loved children. Looking at the word "discipline" in the Greek, we also gain insight into practical steps for training for the race of life, drawing parallels to the training of athletes.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Senior Pastor Ryan Meade offers encouragement to persevere through discipline and training to set our eyes firmly on Jesus and gain fresh perspective on running your race with endurance that comes from faith.

Being the Church | Mark Andringa | Chapel Hill

Every follower of Jesus carries the Presence of God through the Holy Spirit, and each person plays a critical part in reflecting Christ to the world. By the Spirit, God is uniting us together in love, revealing Christ to the world, and building His church.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as special guest speaker Mark Andringa unpacks this with us.

Hidden by God | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Elijah changes the destiny of a nation (1 Kings 17), and God is calling people today to shift the destinies of individuals, families, neighborhoods, businesses, schools, states, and nations. The prophetic is "a light shining in a dark place" (2 Peter 1:19). The Holy Spirit seeks to raise people who don't just talk about the darkness but bring the light of Christ into it.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker delivers a message of the Lord's will for the church in this day and age through the lens of the prophet Elijah.

Be the Faithful Ones | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Hebrews 11 delves into the "Hall of Faith" and its inspiring examples of Biblical heroes. Before diving into these legendary figures, we must first revisit Hebrews 10:35-39, reflecting on the initial fire and boldness we felt when we first embraced Jesus, despite trials and persecution. We are encouraged to remember the promises of God and to live by faith, even when the fulfillment of these promises seems distant. Highlighting stories of faith from Abel to Rahab, Hebrews 11 emphasizes that while some promises are realized in our lifetime, our "present future," others extend into our "future future," where eternal rewards await.
 
Join us in Wilmington for Senior Pastor Ryan Meade's powerful reminder to stay faithful, persevere through challenges, and keep our eyes on the ultimate reward.

I am Able | Dr. Noah Manyika

In addition to the freedom Jesus released to us through the Cross, He also gave us abilities to equip us for our unique ministry assignments in the marketplace. To be fully effective, we must reject pretense and insecurity, and instead know and own the "facts that matter" of our life's testimony.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Dr. Noah Manyika unpacks this message.
