The resurrection has reconciled us to God and to one another. In Christ, the dividing walls are torn down, and all believers—Jews and Gentiles alike—are united as one body. This week, we’ll celebrate the unity we have in Christ and explore how the resurrection shapes our relationships within the church.

The resurrection breaks the chains of legalism and frees us to live by the Spirit. In Christ, we are no longer bound by the law but liberated to live in grace. This week, we’ll focus on the freedom we have through Christ’s resurrection and the danger of returning to a life of rules and rituals.

The resurrection of Jesus is the cornerstone of our faith. Without it, there is no hope for our own resurrection. But because Christ was raised, we have the assurance of eternal life. This week, we’ll reflect on the power of His resurrection and what it guarantees for us as believers.

In Christ, we are made new. The resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead also frees us from the power of sin. This week, we’ll explore what it means to be justified by faith, to be “alive in Christ,” and to live in the freedom He offers from the dominion of sin.

Over the past few weeks, we've uncovered some of the challenges that hold us back as individuals and as a church: hypocrisy, religion without relationship, division, judgment, and the desire for power. But the good news is that none of this defines us. Grace and transformation are what define us. The gospel invites us into a new way of living—living as a community that embraces vulnerability, authenticity, unity, and service. This ...

Judgment often comes from a sense of superiority or insecurity. We judge others to feel better about ourselves or to distance ourselves from their faults. But when we judge others harshly, we forget how much we need grace. This week, we explore the transformative power of grace to dissolve judgment and help us view others with compassion, acknowledging our shared humanity.

Division is one of the most significant challenges in the church and the world. It's easy to split into factions over theology, politics, or personal preferences; the church is not immune to this. However, true transformation can only happen when we work to overcome these divisions and come together. This week, we will focus on how unity is a choice, grounded not in our sameness but in a shared commitment to the well-being of the w...

We explore the idea of unmasking religion, asking ourselves not only whether religion is a mask but also whether it is possible to find true faith beyond the outer forms of religion that so often mask deeper spiritual truths. Is religion a lie?

Hypocrisy is a human issue, not just a church problem. It's about how we often wear masks—pretending to be something we’re not, covering up our flaws, and projecting an image of righteousness when, inside, we feel disconnected or unworthy. In this message, we’ll reflect on how hypocrisy impacts us, as individuals and as a community. Instead of focusing on how “others” are being hypocritical, we’ll look at how we, too, need to exami...
