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.

The Way Into Rest | Mary Meade | Wilmington

Our women are back from the annual Sojourn Women's Retreat! This year, the Lord was speaking about the lilies and the sparrows, and God's abundant provision for His children. While there, Pastor Mary shared about rest, and the necessity of the Sabbath cycles. True rest comes when we trust God enough to release control and let His love lead. When we live surrendered, we find freedom, peace, and strength for what's ahead.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Pastor Mary continues the invitation to rest  by exploring the connection between surrender and love.

About the Things of My Father's Love | Ryan Meade | Wilmington

As image-bearers and children of God, we have been tasked to do His work and steward His Kingdom on Earth. At times, it can be difficult to know how to do that. Jesus tackled this task in a way which was previously unknown to the nation of Israel. From his earliest works, Jesus acted based on what he saw the Father doing. We can learn from this revelation as we attempt to follow the example God set for us in how to accomplish His works.
 
Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade encourages us to seek the Father's heart, and to do what we see Him doing.

Cultivating a Move of God | Will Gelling | Chapel Hill

The Lord has given us each a revelation of His character and His kingdom. He has also given the Church a charge to steward that revelation for its members, and to tend to His sheep. The Lord has revelations He has placed within Gen Z to release to the broader church. How are we going to cultivate that revelation and steward its release?
 
Join us in Chapel Hill for Gen Z Sunday as guest speaker Will Gelling releases a word to the church about cultivating a move of God.
