Ekklesia // Greek – an assembly, a gathering Kirche // German – a sacred place where you gather for religious purposes “In the beginning the church was a fellowship of men and women centered on the living Christ.

At some point in your life, you’ve likely heard the phrase, “Time is a gift.” But have you ever felt like you just didn’t have enough of it? How we manage time can either delay our destiny or propel us into our purpose—and God, in His kindness, has given us the beautiful gift of seasons to help us steward it well. He has written every chapter of our stories and already knows the end from the beginning and all the in-between. Time doesn’t stop and seasons are inevitable, but one thing is for sure: nothing is a surprise to God. Some seasons are expected and predictable, while others are abrupt and unprecedented. No matter what you may face in the tension of each transition, moment by moment, you can trust that God is always leading the way and extends His hand to meet you right where you are. Listen in as we celebrate the God of more than enough, who does miracles in the margin and makes everything beautiful in its time!

Luke 2 NIVWhile they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping...

Psalms 150:1-6 NIV Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Have you ever felt lost in a winter storm of life? It can be challenging to navigate difficult times when God’s promises seem frozen over. If you’re wondering how not to lose sight of your faith even when the storms rage, then you’re in the right place! God’s word tells us that there is safety in an abundance of counselors, and wisdom and understanding belong to the aged. It’s beneficial for us to hear from those who have persevered through the bleak wintry days—who are still testifying of God’s goodness even when all hope seemed lost. Listen in as we gain wisdom from Ron Bowie, the father of senior pastor Johnson Bowie, and find rest in the certainty that, just as spring blooms after winter, God’s promises will always come to pass.

Living for God is not just about having the right information…but did that INFORMATION produce TRANSFORMATION in us? Matthew 7:24-27 ESV“Everyone then who HEARS these words of mine and DOES them will be like a WISE man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds...

MATTHEW 7:24-27 NIV“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone...

As believers, each of us is a part of the body of Christ—one body with many members. We were created on purpose with a purpose, and every breath that we’ve been gifted by God is an opportunity to allow His Kingdom to fully reign in our lives. The reality is that, sometimes, we get comfortable and stop taking steps forward in our faith. But we have a responsibility to do something with the new life we’ve been given. Tune in to find out how we can all make room for other image bearers to experience the beauty of the Church and the amazing King we serve!

Matthew 7:21-23 NIV“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons...

How do we identify false prophets? Jesus clearly warned us to watch out for false prophets, who He described as wolves in sheep’s clothing. We are called to build our lives on Christ and His truth, and the reality is that we can’t define truth based on how something makes us feel. But how do we choose between those people and things that are good influences on our lives spiritually and emotionally and those that are bad influences and can potentially draw us away from Christ? Join us as we look to God’s word to find the answers!

What does it mean to fear God, to work out our salvation with fear and trembling? It’s not what it sounds like. To fear the Lord is to live in absolute awe of His power, His presence, and His promises. Imagine how excited and awestruck you will be one day—to look upon His face and finally see Him! That is the posture from which we want to look to Him and worship Him today. Our God is not wrathful or scary. We don’t tremble because we are afraid. We tremble because of the wonder and astonishment we have for His greatness. Our God is an awesome God!
