Relationship Over Release

January 19, 2025 • Denz Calhoun

Diving into the book of Exodus, we're reminded that God desires more than just momentary relief in our lives – He seeks a lasting relationship. The story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt isn't just ancient history; it's a blueprint for our own spiritual journey. We see how God uses the burning bush, the ten plagues, and the parting of the Red Sea not just as displays of power, but as invitations to deeper faith. The Ten Commandments emerge not as restrictive rules but as loving boundaries for a blessed life. As we reflect on these events, we're challenged to ask: Are we seeking God only for quick fixes, or are we committed to building a lifelong connection with Him? This message urges us to move beyond surface-level faith and dive into the depths of God's love, reminding us that true freedom comes not just from being released from our 'Egypt,' but from walking daily with our Creator. Good morning! Join us to be inspired and engaged to live for Jesus wherever you are through today’s worship, week #3 of 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting, and tackling the second book of the Bible in our year-long adventure in the "Cover to Cover" series!!!

How To Begin Well

January 12, 2025 • Denz Calhoun • Genesis

Want to begin, or begin again? This message is for you! Let's dive into the Book of Genesis, where we're reminded of the 10 profound foundations God laid for our world and our faith. This exploration of 'beginnings' challenges us to view our lives through the lens of God's original design. We see how God established the universe, mankind, sexual identity, marriage, and family - all with perfect intention. The fall into sin and brokenness wasn't the end of the story; instead, it set the stage for God's redemptive plan through Jesus Christ. This message encourages us to align our worldview with God's foundational truths, recognizing that our perspective shapes everything in our lives. As we face modern challenges, we're called to return to these divine foundations, allowing them to guide our choices, relationships, and understanding of our purpose in God's grand narrative.

The Greatest Book Ever Written

January 5, 2025 • Denz Calhoun

God has called every believer to devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the word. We're challenged to move beyond mere zeal, and cultivate a deep knowledge of God's Word. By committing to daily Bible reading and inviting the Holy Spirit into our study, we can experience profound change in our lives. The imagery of a well-worn Bible belonging to someone whose life isn't falling apart serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of God's Word. As we journey through this year, let's embrace the opportunity to grow in our faith, allowing the seeds of God's Word to take root and flourish in our hearts.
