What does it look like to live in the end times? The Bible gives us clear instructions on what the last days will look like and how we can prepare ourselves. As Christians, we know that this world is not our home but do we really understand the better life that awaits us with Jesus in Glory? Join us this weekend as Pastor Justin Miller continues in our “Doomsday Prep” series!

Have you ever wondered what it will look like to face the end times? The Bible tells us all we need to know, including how we should live and love when the time comes. In this series, we’ll demystify the end times and help you look at it from a practical perspective. How can we be alert and ready? How can we love and live in the end times? In the first message from “Doomsday Prep”, Pastor Jeff Wallace answers these questions and dives deeper into how we can stand firm against the enemy.

In Romans 12:4-5 it says, “For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.” What does this mean to us? We are called to serve as one church! Join us as Pastor Marc Milan sheds light on how being a Changemaker strengthens the body of Christ.

“David says – I will not offer God something that costs me nothing.” In our walk with the Lord, this is something we all have to remember. In order to follow Jesus, you have to be willing to commit and not just consume. Join us as Pastor Justin Miller closes out our “Chasing God: Lessons From the Life of David” series. Let’s follow David’s life to see how he was able to follow God and how we can as well.

When we sin we are given the chance, like David, to repent. Repentance brings us the ability to develop a stronger relationship with God. David experienced God’s provision because he repented. In this message from “Chasing God, Lessons From The Life Of David”, Pastor Justin Miller sheds light on David’s journey of repentance.

David and Bathsheba’s story is one of loss but also restoration. We learn in this story of how David acted outside the will of God and yet how God was able to use this for His glory. In this message from “Chasing God, Lessons From The Life Of David”, Pastor Chuck Babbino takes us through what it looks like for us to be compromised by our comfort.

David experienced many trials during his life but one of the main characteristics of his battles is his worship to God. The story of David bringing the Ark to Jerusalem is a key example of David learning how God wanted him to worship, through dancing. We can learn from David that worship is love and it’s not about us, it’s about giving glory to God. Pastor Marc Milan breaks down in this message what worship is and how we can worship the Lord as David did.

There is so much to learn from David. He is one of the most unique and iconic people in the Bible. Shepherd, King, poet, warrior, saint and sinner. From Goliath to Bathsheba, we have a lot to talk about when it comes to David. Possibly the most important thing ever said about David is reason we are studying him: "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do."—Acts 13:21 In this message, Pastor Justin Miller dives into David's relationship with King Saul and how through it, we can learn so much about honor.

David and Jonathon’s story is a testament to what true covenant friendship looks like. Although they came from different backgrounds and worked different jobs, they still were able to connect on a deeper level because their friendship was one of God. “The truth of the matter is, when we’re chasing God, there is no room for jealousy, envy, or egos, because our earthly relationships simply mirror our heavenly relationship with God.” In this message from “Chasing God, Lessons From The Life Of David”, Pastor Jeff Wallace, joined by Pastor Justin Miller depict what covenant friendship looks like.

Despite his mistakes, the Bible tells us David was a man after God’s own heart. In this series, we are taking a look at David's life to learn how we too can be people who chase after the heart of our Father. God looks at the heart. What does that mean? What does he see when he looks at ours? In this first message from "Chasing God, Lessons From The Life Of David”, Pastor Justin Miller explores these questions as we get to know David a little better.

God reveals himself to us many ways— He is exactly what we need when we need it! As we conclude our message series, A.K.A God, we are taking a look at a very cherished aspect of God's character. His character as a father. Join Pastor Justin Miller for a look at the meaning behind "Abba".

God reveals Himself through many names in the Bible. Each time we learn about a new name, a new aspect of His character is unveiled with it. Tune in as Pastor Reward Sibanda teaches us the revelation behind Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord our righteousness).

In life we go through many circumstances and our God is there with us through them all. While his presence may not change our circumstance, it most definitely changes how we SEE our situation . Join us as Pastor J continues our A.K.A. God series by examining the name Jehovah Shammah: The God Who Is There.
