His name shall be called Immanuel - God with us.

Coming from the prophetic verses of the birth of Jesus, Pastor Kenneth Mulkey shares with us God’s heartfelt desire to reconcile and restore a relationship with humanity. Through sending His Son Jesus, God ensures we are no longer separated from Him.

God’s original blueprint has always been to walk, have friendship, and fellowship with Him before the fall of man. We discover the importance of responding to God by listening to and humbly receiving His Word and pursuing Him in worship.

In today’s message, Pastor Bayless Conley shares with us the treasures in the Ark of the Covenant spoken of in the Bible, of the three things God wants every believer to know.
 
We discover the three items placed by Moses in the ark: a pot full of manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablet of stone inscribed with God’s commandments. They are symbols and lessons that point to truths that are relevant to us today to help us flourish. We learn that for us to flourish, His Word must enter our hearts. When God’s Word enters our hearts, we develop a sincere faith in our relationship with Him, a good conscience in ourselves, and a love from a pure heart for others.

How does God address our shame?

We can often validate the whispers of toxic shame that pushes us to isolate and hide. In today’s message, Pastor Robert Favela shares insightful ways on how Jesus can remove the shroud of shame. We discover that God affirms our relationship with Him as he reminds us of our true identity and provides a liberating path from our failure. Having endured the cross, we learn that through Christ Jesus, there is no condemnation, and we can experience His freedom. God will not only set us free but will also transform us into vessels of hope to guide others to victory over toxic shame.

In today’s message, Pastor Harrison Conley shares from the book of Ephesians what the apostle Paul communicates, the five spiritual blessings we can receive through Christ.

Through Jesus Christ alone, we are chosen and adopted as sons and daughters into His kingdom. We are also assured redemption and forgiveness that guarantees our inheritance of eternal life in God, which is sealed with the Holy Spirit. We discover the many spiritual benefits we obtain as believers of healing, peace, strength, wisdom, and wholeness that are graciously available to us in Him.

How does serving give you rest?

In today’s message, Joel Holm gives us a picture of how Jesus describes the significance and life-changing benefits of serving Him. Calling us into His rest, Jesus also invites us to serve others alongside Him. We discover that serving refocuses our priorities. It provides protection, elevates our lives, and replenishes us from those things that make us feel depleted and exhausted. Serving also creates a deep connection with Jesus and unveils our supernatural ability, leading to the best life God has for us.

Did you know that blessings are more than nice spoken words we say to one another?

In today’s message, Pastor Harrison Conley examines the ancient prayer found in the book of Numbers and sheds light on the true essence of Biblical blessing. He uses three points to illustrate that blessings are not just mere words but are real, powerful, and tangible gifts from God

Although God’s blessing encompasses both practical and spiritual aspects, it does not mean God is a cosmic genie existing solely to grant us wealth and a trouble-free life. Instead, we are created for Him and the greatest blessing we receive from God is the gift of His presence.
