Do you see the potential in the waiting on God in your life? We learn the most in the waiting. God wants us to wait in our place of greatest fear as that will be where His glory is revealed most. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on the power of waiting on God from Acts 1 when the disciples waited for the Holy Spirit. As we wait on God we become witnesses to His glory.
Whenever we are in unbelief we are missing out on a blessing God has for us. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on Jesus' encounter with Thomas in John 21 and the power of believing in Christ. Jesus met Thomas in His unbelief because He remains faithful even if we become faithless. No matter what we demand of God, He invites us to touch the place where His grace met us, to reach out and encounter true freedom in Him. Blessed are those who believe!
You've been made worthy as you receive Jesus Christ. At our Spring Daughters Gathering, Pastor Georgie Kelsey preached on the dignity and strength Christ clothes us with. Each of us can wear the worthiness of Christ which is filled with hope because God has a plan to reveal His glory in us.
The scandal of Grace is that Jesus extends it even when we deny Him. God’s love for us is never in question, but when Jesus asks Peter, “Do you love me?” in John 21, we see that God values our love. This Sunday, Pastor Josh gave a powerful message on how love leads to obedience — and how loving Jesus always looks like loving others.
Jesus draws near to us even in disappointment because He wants to journey with us and build a foundation in our lives. This past Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on our hope in Christ. We are built to hope and designed to believe through Jesus for our future. When we place our hope in Him alone, there is a fire that burns inside our lives that produces a life full of love, full of faith — and overflowing to a world in need.
On the cross, Christ defeated everything that stands between you and God—not one thing has been left in debt, everything redeemed! But there's a reason He covered us with His grace: that we might have a New Beginning, receiving and living by His Spirit. This Sunday, Pastor Josh explored Jesus' encounter with the disciples as He appeared in the midst of their fear and breathed the Spirit of life into them (see John 20). Jesus restores us to our original design — image-bearers of God and carriers of His Spirit — by setting us free from fear and bringing us into an encounter with His life-giving Spirit!
