Courage is something available to every believer because we have the presence of God with us. Often we look at courage as something connected to our history or track record, but Jesus teaches us that we can be fearless because we know who we are with. In this week’s leadership lessons, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores what it looks like to be courages, to take courage, and stand firm in the faith today.

In this week's message, Pastor Josh Kelsey explored the story of Mary and Martha and the progression Martha takes to become filled with worry. Through her story, we see there are three phases of worry and it's single solution: to sit and listen to Jesus. You could be doing the most important work for Jesus and still not be worshipping if your attention is misplaced. God isn't saying the things around you don't matter, but instead says "I can carry the care."

Anxiety and worry are embedded in our everyday life, yet Jesus commands us not to be anxious. In this Sunday’s message, Pastor Josh Kelsey explored the enemy’s only weapon: distraction. In order for us to mature as believers, we must fix our attention on God. Our mind is a battlefield, so this week as a church, we’re practicing casting all our cares on him as we seek first the Kingdom and remember there’s only room for one true King in our hearts.

The Sermon on the Mount shows us there is a better way to live in community, that the Kingdom may be seen through the way we act towards each other. This Sunday’s message from Pastor Josh Kelsey taught us that if you want to continue on the narrow path and have full relationship with someone, don’t assume entrance: ask, seek and knock. Even after Jesus came to earth as a baby and went to the cross for us, he is not forceful, but knocks. 

The overarching theme of all humanity is this: we are here that God in Christ would be magnified as supremely glorious. At our first ALLIN of the year, Pastor Josh Kelsey explores three points regarding what it means to be transformed from glory to glory.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus ends by speaking the Golden Rule: treat others the way you would want to be treated. If we are going to reach our city, our families and our workplaces with God’s love in 2024, we have to receive and act upon the love that has first been given to us. This Sunday, pastor Jon Laurenzo explores the importance of the golden rule in the life of a believer today.
