We believe in a church that is fixed on Jesus with unwavering attention and focus, that in a day in an age of distraction we fight back with devotion, that a life holistically following the ways of our Creator opens us up to be formed by Him and Him alone. A life of depth that produces fruit that remains, a life of discipline that builds everything we exist to do off of the Cornerstone, a life of sacrifice that shows the greatest love to a world so devoid of it, and a sustainable rhythm that keeps us walking with Him always. We see a church that loves the least, last, lost, broken, and forgotten. We see a church that turns careers into callings, and conversations into moments where you sense the Holy Spirit. We see a church that seeks to see Jesus and allows the Creator to create with His most prized possession; us. You're invited to the journey, where we seek first the Kingdom and righteousness, and trust that He can add all things in His time.

    Root of the Restless pt 2; Distracted by Doom

    2 Samuel 11:1-5; 14-17— HOW TO BREAK FREE OF RESTLESSNESS THAT DOOM HAS CREATED IN YOUR LIFE 1- PRACTICE THE SELF AWARENESS NECESSARY TO ENACT SACRED LIMITS. WHAT YOU DON’T LIMIT WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD AND REWIRE YOU…. MAYBE THE REASON YOUR PRAYING FOR PEACE FROM GOD IS BECAUSE YOUR CONSTANTLY FEEDING CHAOS WITH YOUR LIFESTYLE OF CONSUMPTION. GET OFF THE ROOFTOP BEFORE IT GET RECKLESS AND CARELESS. REPLACE WHAT HAS BECOME A TOXIC REFLEX WITH A LIFESTYLE RESET… BEFORE YOUR MENTAL ROOFTOPS BECOME SPIRITUAL MURDER SCENES. 2- FIND A BATTLE WORTH FIGHTING EVERYDAY AND YOU WONT BE TEMPTED TO SETTLE FOR A ROOFTOP OF COVETING AND COMFORT. A LIFE ROOTED AND RHYTHMIC IS ONE THAT UNDERSTANDS IM FIGHTING EVERYDAY, AND THOUGH COMFORT IS NICE.. TOO MUCH OF IT IS POISON. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ABOUT BUILDING YOUR ROOFTOP OF COMFORT, ITS ABOUT YOU ACTIVELY FIGHTING DARKNESS AND APPLYING THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO THE BATTLEFIELD OF A FALLEN WORLD. Before there is sinning, there is sitting out.. 3- RESTLESSNESS ON THE ROOFTOP IS AN ENDLESS CYCLE… FROM DAVID TO NOW… ‘I MUST HAVE THIS’... ‘IF I HAD WHAT THEY HAD’.. ‘I NEED THIS OR I'M INCOMPLETE’.. THIS CYCLE STARTS AND NEVER STOPS WHEN YOU ALLOW IT.. YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT ONE RELATIONSHIP WON’T STOP THE LUST.. ONE RAISE OR PROMOTION WONT STOP THE GREED OR MATERIALISM.. ONE MORE NIGHT OUT WONT FIX THE EMPTINESS… BECAUSE YOUR ON THE ROOFTOP WHEN YOU CAN’T REST… AND UNTIL YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED, AND SUBMITTED THE RESTLESSNESS TO THE TRUTH OF GOD, YOUR DISTRACTIVE TENDENCIES WILL DOOM YOUR LIFE IN THE SPIRIT.

  2. ROOT OF THE RESTLESS PT 1; ILLUSION OF ELSEWHERE

    26 DE ABR.

    ROOT OF THE RESTLESS PT 1; ILLUSION OF ELSEWHERE

    Scripture Refrences: Luke 15:11-24 3 things that will get you in a pigsty quickly if you're not careful 1- IMPATIENCE.. YOU MUST FIGHT THIS WITH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE. “Father, give me..” (Luke 15:12).. When our conversations with God become requests and demands for our freedom and fulfillment to be satisfied in our exact timing and exact specifications… be very, very careful. Impatience is the subtle belief that God is too slow to be trusted… and impatience will get you trading your inheritance for your impulses because you have been blinded by your own passions. Most don’t leave God because he’s bad… they leave him when he’s not fast enough. 2- ESCAPE… BECAUSE NO MATTER WHERE YOU RUN, YOU CANNOT OUTRUN YOURSELF. The prodigal son didn't leave in crisis.. He left the boredom of ordinary life.. The father's house was safe and functional… but it didn't feel like enough. The same restlessness you feel will show up in the next job, relationship, city or place you go because you can't fix inside problems with outside solutions. The son didn’t escape; his idea of escape had to lead him to the emptiness of life without the father… and when he “came to his senses” (verse 17), he returned to what had always made the most sense, the father's house and the father's order. 3- DRIFT… because leaving the father was a slow drift into the losing of everything the son had ever known his life to be; social standing, spiritual place, and the identity of being a son to hoping to just survive as a slave. Slow drift drowning is the number one cause of spiritual bankruptcy I see. The small compromises, the cherry picking of God’s word to suit my comforts, the consistency and committedness that is more feeling than function. The son's blessing was the father… when all was stripped away, the realization was that anywhere that wasn’t with the father wasn’t worth being

    Navigating Storms

    Scripture Refrences: Matthew 7:24-27 NLT Mark 4:35-41 NLT Navigatng Storms: 1. Satan's goal is to plant Fear and a Belief that “God doesn’t care” Psalms 23:6 NLT 2. What has Jesus said. 3. Storms on the outside are not unusual, But we must Guard against storms on the inside. 4. Don’t underestimate the influence that my choices will have on God’s best for my life. 5. Get up from bad responses to storms and learn from them.

  4. The Anointing on the Ordinary

    14 DE ABR.

    The Anointing on the Ordinary

    Scripture References: Acts 6:1–5, 8–15 Acts 11:19–22 How to Step Into the Anointing of the Ordinary Stop asking for a new assignment if God doesn’t have your full permission. Don’t dream of a different life—push yourself to allow God to take you to a different level of surrender in the life you already have. Stephen started by serving tables before he became a martyr, a mouthpiece, and an initiator of the first great missions movement in Scripture. God doesn’t just want availability in your schedule—He wants access to your whole heart. It starts with surrender.The anointing is not reserved for the platform—it rests upon the faithful. God will put power on the small to remind you that He can do mighty things with what man thinks is insignificant. Platform doesn’t equal power—surrender and obedience do. Ordinary faithfulness has done more in the pages of history than giftedness. Commit to the road of faithfulness.Jesus’ death and invitation into life are about ushering in a new era where anyone, anywhere, at any time can be used greatly. The test of it all comes down to the faithfulness of a life that says nothing is off-limits to the Spirit of God. You don’t have to wait for God to change your life—live a life that lets Him invade the one you’re already living, and you may find that your obedience outlives the days you spend on earth.

  5. Easter 2026; Jesus, Dilation Drops, and a God Who Sees, Knows, and Has Only Known, Love

    8 DE ABR.

    Easter 2026; Jesus, Dilation Drops, and a God Who Sees, Knows, and Has Only Known, Love

    Mark 16: 1-13 John 20:1-18— 3 Stones We Must Roll Away in Order to See Jesus Clearly 1 - The stone of finality (‘it’s over!’)… the lie that what you see is where it must all end.. Easter is the reminder where life lays you down in death, and defeat…. Jesus wants to bring you into resurrection… the statement “look where they have laid him” is not for one time, but for all time… a subtle promise for all those who would call upon his name.. Some of us don’t need more effort… we need our eyes dilated to see that what we thought was over… God calls it unfinished. 2 - The stone of unbelief (‘I don’t trust it!’)… two times the woman try to tell the disciples he is risen and two times they deny it. What do you need to see for you to trust Jesus fully? What do you need God to do for him to show you he is real? The Easter season is about promises fulfilled, even if you don’t believe they have been… and training your eyes to see what he has done, more than what you wished he had done more of. Unbelief isn’t lack of evidence… it’s ownership of undeveloped vision. 3 - The stone of misrecognition (‘I don’t/can’t see him’). Mary couldn't recognize Jesus because she thought he was a gardner, Cleopas couldn't recognize him because he was a traveler on the road (Luke 24), Thomas doubted him unless he could see the nail marks in the hands and pierced side (John 20). We do not have a compartmentalized Christ, but an ever-present, and ever-near Saviour. We miss him not because he isn’t there… but because our eyes haven’t been trained properly to see him. A Moment of Dilation- 1 - Repent of any sin… or things in your heart you know hinder God from drawing close.. be specific 2 - Invite the grace and mercy of God to wash over you where you sit. Repeat the phrase slowly “Jesus would you wash me today” 3 - Repeat the phrase “come Holy Spirit”.. and invite the Holy Spirit into your heart today.. 4 - Give God permission to lead your life today… that you would walk in truth and conviction and in the ways of his word and will.

  6. Palm Sunday - “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, and He Ain't Never Doing What the World Thinks He Should Do Dad Gummit”

    30 DE MAR.

    Palm Sunday - “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands, and He Ain't Never Doing What the World Thinks He Should Do Dad Gummit”

    Matthew 21:1-11 John 12:18-19 How to not get lost in the sauce of whatever you want God to be that he's not being. 1 - What do you need saved from today? In this story they thought it was Rome, until Jesus made it about greed in the temple. They thought it was an oppressive government until Jesus made it about sacrilegious conduct. They thought he was the second coming of a king on a warhorse with a hammer and an army, until he showed up on a donkey with a bunch of teenage boys.. Your expectations will oftentimes be very different from God’s reality, and it is done to expose the depths of lordship and faith in areas God wants us to go past the surface in. 2 - If you want to celebrate him in the streets but not let him cleanse your spirit you will be in for a rude awakening. Jesus allowed the palm branches to be waved and then walked directly into the temple and cleansed it of anything but the worship it was intended for. External behaviours and performance will never exempt you from internal development of the surrendered and sanctified soul. Celebration is not the same as surrender, and waving a palm branch is not the same as carrying a cross. You can celebrate him publicly while still resisting him privately. 3 - The tipping point of it all… the secret of Palm Sunday that turns from celebration to the slaying of our Savior. A God who has no favorites anymore. Jesus finishes off his final week before crucifixion making space and a place for those who historically had no space, or place in the kingdom of God. We love a Savior who includes us—we struggle with a Savior who includes ‘them’. Jesus will offend your expectations, by including people you wouldn’t… because Jesus will cross lines that religion tries to draw.

  7. 4 Horsemen of a Christians Apocalypse Pt. 4: Cynicism

    23 DE MAR.

    4 Horsemen of a Christians Apocalypse Pt. 4: Cynicism

    Luke 7:18-28 Isaiah 35:3-6. Revelation 6;7-8 Three Tips from a “Recovering” Cynic 1- Don’t Let What You See Define What You Believe.. If we allow the lens of how we see the world to become unhealthy, we start to point out the unhealthyness of everyone and everything. We often say “seeing is believing,” but the bible says we walk by faith, not by sight. Cynicism creeps in when what I see doesn’t match what I believe, or what I don’t see becomes me walking in unbelief. John saw heaven open, but prison closed his perspective. The question of it all… “will I let my circumstances rewrite my convictions?” 2- You Better Have Jesus’ Perspective Before You Build Yours.. John questions Jesus, but Jesus responds by affirming John—He speaks identity, not insecurity. Cynicism grows when God moves for others but not for me, and I’m left sitting in the tension of unmet expectations. At that moment, I have a choice: harden my heart or keep it tender. Cynicism isn’t just wrong thinking… it's a wounded perspective. If I let my flesh become my lens, don’t be surprised when my spirit starts dying. 3- Where Cynicism Lives, Resurrection Dies.. Cynicism doesn’t just make you negative—it makes you numb, draining the life out of everything. Promise turns into prison, hope into hopelessness, joy into heaviness. That’s why Revelation calls it ashen—grey, pale, stripped of color. Cynicism says nothing changes, no one’s real, and nothing new is coming. But the Gospel says dead things don’t stay dead, so I refuse to let my pain become my lens…I will not let a ‘prison’ season shape my sight.
