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.

Redefining Moments | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

Like Elijah, some of us have had powerful encounters with God, yet we might feel like nothing came from them. Maybe you've experienced outcomes that seem the opposite of what you expected and find yourself in a cave. If so, you are in a redefining moment. What the Holy Spirit does in our cave moments will define the rest of your life.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his look at the life of Elijah with a message of encouragement.

Insights into Baptism in the Holy Spirit | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

Be filled! Pastor Ryan starts recapping last week's message discussing the significance and relevance of water baptism as seen in Jesus' personal experience, commission to us, and in examples through the book of Acts. The transformative power of baptism in the Holy Spirit, is coupled with, yet distinct from water baptism. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a profound encounter that empowers believers for a dynamic spiritual life and can manifest in various ways, such as speaking in tongues and prophecy along with receiving other gifts of the Spirit. 
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to value, seek, and be open to the Holy Spirit's gifts and fillings and invites us to receive and respond to this empowering experience.

Following Jesus pt. 2 | Sarah Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Follow Jesus. Follow the path that he has designed for your life. Don't fall for the comparison trap. Follow Jesus in the way that he has designed you to have an intimate relationship with him. In Psalm 139:24, David asks God to "see if there is any path of pain I'm walking on...." Jesus wants to free you from pain in order that you might follow Him into freedom!
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Pastor Sarah Bollinger picks up from where Matthew left off last week in this series on following Jesus.

Overwhelmed | Randall Worley | Mooresville

We are in a time where there is a greater fear of what is happening in the world than the fear of the Lord. Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, we don't fear anything else. The fear of the Lord is awe, not terror of Him. It turns us away from chaos to His awesomeness. God's goodness is a threat to anything that threatens us. 
 
Join us in Mooresville as special guest speaker Randall Worley shares an empowering message of how we can view the times in which we live.

Following Jesus pt. 1 | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill

Jesus came to his Disciples and said, "Follow Me" They laid down their lives (plans, careers, etc.) in exchange for His. How can we do this today? What does this look like? It's often referred to as living in the "upside down, wrong-side out kingdom." In this message we will explore the depths of the Kingdom of Heaven and it's application to our lives, today.
 
Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger begins a series on the opportunity we have as believers to use Jesus as our guide.

The Gift of Vulnerability | Byron Wicker | Mooresville

We often picture Elijah in moments of power. But in 1 Kings 19:1-4, we see a different side of him: tired, afraid, disappointed, and vulnerable. Vulnerability often surfaces after moments of victory, after we've shared our hearts, or after significant failure. During these times, our emotions can be heightened, making us more susceptible to negative thoughts and influences. However, these moments do not define us; they offer deeper relationships and personal growth opportunities.
 
Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues his look at the life of Elijah with a message of encouragement.
