In this episode we finish our deep dive into the prophetic writings of King David from Psalm 22. We pray that this study is a blessing to you and reveals the love that God has for you.

The Psalms are more than just lyric and songs. They are moments of worship whereby the Heaven could impart prophecy and truths about the Messiah. We pray that this message encourages you and challenges you to take a deeper look at the book Psalms.

Join us as we continue our sermon series "Summer in the Psalms." This week, Pastor Leah Legions shares a heartfelt message from Psalm 16 about surrendering our idols and finding true rest in Jesus. She reminds us that confidence comes when we lay down our own plans, look toward Heaven, and lift up our worship—no matter the season.

Grace is a multifaceted gift from God that we receive at salvation. These unique characteristics are revealed in unique time and in unique ways. We pray that the gift of Grace is revealed in your life and that you walk in its fullness.

Hardships are God’s way of bringing protection and promotion. On this episode we discuss God’s way of using trouble’s to place us where we need to be, when we need to be there. We pray that this message is a blessing to you!

Join us as Elder Troy Peaden kicks off our summer series, “Summer in the Psalms.” This week, we take a technical deep dive into Psalm 37, unpacking its wisdom for living faithfully amid life’s trials. With thoughtful insight and practical truth, this message helps us reflect on God’s justice, transformation and our identity in Christ. 

In this week’s message, we explore Colossians 2:6–10 and the powerful “Domino Effect” of living a life rooted in Christ. Elder Troy Peaden unpacks three action steps—Follow, Root, and Build—and how they lead to a life marked by growing faith and overflowing thankfulness.

Sowing and Reaping is a principle that is so powerful that even God uses it! We pray that your understanding will be increased as we finish the study of Sowing and Reaping. 

Sowing and Reaping is a principle that God put in place to bless His people. Our understanding of this principle dictates the existence of blessings and in some cases problems. We pray that you are blessed by this episode and that you begin to function in greater Wisdom.

Decisions have only two outcomes, consequences or blessings. Wisdom is knowing that we can position ourselves for blessing with the right decisions. We pray that this episode brings you closer to fulfilling God’s plan for your life!

Salvation is a free gift but it challenges the saved to become part of the rescue mission. You are rescued to the go rescue others! We pray that this episode enlightens you to the purpose of your gifts and influence.

Easter 2025! In this episode we celebrate the resurrection by investigating its power and purpose. We pray that this teaching is a blessing to all who hear it.

The death of Jesus Christ was unlike any death before or after. The phenomena that surrounded the moment He “released His spirit” signified that a rescue mission was in its final stages. We pray that this episode reminds you that our hope is well founded in Christ! 

God knew that we would need to be rescued long before we ever needed it. Heaven dispatched a rescue mission in the form of a baby in the manger. Since then, the world has never been the same!

In this week’s message we dive deep into the Bible to see how we can obtain a pure heart. The Word of God tells us that those who have a pure heart will see God! We pray that this episode encourages you in your walk with God.

Mercy is one of the greatest gifts that God has promised us in His Word. In this episode we discuss the importance of mercy and the fact that we have so much of it through Christ Jesus! We pray that it blesses you!

Advancing the Kingdom of Heaven is not always easy. However, we must remember that our calling is specific, and our reward is eternal. Opposition arises only when there is an adversary. The persecution we endure is an unmistakable sign from the Enemy that we are making progress in this battle between good and evil.

Making peace isn’t always easy. There are complexities in us and others that delay that peace from being achieved. It’s not until we submit our lives fully to the truth and grace of Jesus that we can truly become peacemakers.
