There is a lot of misunderstanding about the church is. It is not a building, but a body consisting of all believers worldwide and those who departed this life. Those who remain meet locally in smaller groups in cathedrals, churches, buildings, shops, homes, huts and out in the open all over the world. And the Bible, the Holy Spirit and the God-influenced motivational gifts within us help to shape us into a Christ-reflective image of authority, power and love on the earth to heal all who are oppressed by the devil.

The Unity of the Church
April 21, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs, Lindsay Smith, Sydney Farney • Ecclesiastes 4:9–12
As soon as a body of believers starts making a profound influence in a community, the enemy will come and sow seeds of discord. He knows that he cannot defeat God’s people unless they are unblessed and unempowered by Jesus Christ. This can only happen when they willfully reject wisdom from above and embrace worldly rhetoric and its devises. As the body of Christ, we are always in a winning position of power and influence when we operate in the unity of the Spirit compelled by the love of the Father. This message begins with Lindsay Smith and Sydney Farney giving a report and sharing testimonies about the local Radical Life ministry that strives to build healthy families in the community.
Understanding Christian Character
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs • 2 Peter 1:3–11
The most important quality of a disciple of Jesus Christ is godly character. That is how real believers are identified and how fake or immature believers are exposed. We are identified by our “fruit” which is the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Even if a person is gifted, the real test is a person’s character, habits, and lifestyle. Godly believers leave a trail of wholeness in the church not collateral damage.
The Power of the Resurrection
March 31, 2024 • Pastor Mike Stubbs
We were not created to experience corruption, sorrow, and death. We were created for everlasting peace, joy, and life. But mankind sold out to darkness and had to be purchased back by the replacement death of Jesus Christ – Him instead of us. Jesus died for us, defeated death, rose from the grave and offers new life to everyone who chooses to believe.
