We are a priestly family destined to reign with Christ (1 Peter 2:9 and Revelation 5:10). But to reign, we must first learn the way of sacrificing. Priesthood always comes before reigning. Without sacrificial love, we cannot function properly in kingly authority and power. Could this be one of the reasons for powerlessness?

In John 8, a woman caught in the act of adultery is thrown before Jesus by religious leaders demanding justice. But instead of condemnation, Jesus offers unexpected mercy, and a call to turn back to God. He demonstrates that mercy triumphs over judgement.

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores how God's kindness still leads to repentance, and how Jesus responds with mercy yet again.

In Ephesians 1:18, we read Paul's prayer for his brothers and sisters, that the would have minds ready to receive wisdom and revelation, and that the eyes of their hearts would be opened and flooded with light so that they will truly know Jesus. We are invited to intimately know Him and know the hope he is calling us to cherish.

John chapters 13–17 are a precious window into Jesus' heart. He knew what was coming, yet He focused on preparing His disciples—and us—for a deeper relationship with Him. Some have rightly called these chapters the "holy of holies" of scripture.

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker continues to explore what it means to know God and to be known by Him.

In John 6, a massive crowd is hungry, the disciples are exhausted, and no one seems to have anything to give—except one boy with five loaves and two small fish. In the hands of Jesus, this "child of little consequence" becomes part of a miracle that feeds thousands and leaves twelve baskets overflowing with leftovers.

At the heart of the Christian life is now knowing about God, but being known by Him. Galatians 4:9 highlights this shift: "but now, after you have known God, or rather are known by God..." Our relationship with Him is not built on our performance but on His personal, loving initiative towards us. Our identity, comfort in our struggles, and confidence in purpose are directly tied to our relationship with Him.

God has given us a wonderful message of reconciliation. The wounded and lost are living separated from a love they desperately need, and God is making His appeal for them to reconsider the course of their lives through us. 

Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Kristy Meade shares an encouraging word about responding to the call of the Lord and reaching out to the wounded and lost.

We are tasked with being the image-bearers of God on this world, and charged to follow Jesus. But the world is determined to foil and disrupt that mission. In a time where the spirit of the age is filled with defense and deception, how to we carry the heart of God?

Join us in Chapel Hill as Campus Pastor Michael Pham leads us in locking eyes with Christ and leaning into the realities of His Spirit to carry His heart in the age we...

The Psalms reflect the reality of life in a fallen world, capturing the full range of human emotions. John Calvin once said the Psalms are "an anatomy of all the parts of the soul," and it's true. They don't just echo how we feel; they also offer us comfort, wisdom, hope, and peace. One of the central truths the Psalms teach is the importance of being honest with God. They are deeply relational—and as with any close relationship, t...

In John 5, Jesus steps into the crowded chaos of the Pool of Bethesda and singles out one man: lame for 38 years, full of disappointment, and seemingly out of hope. This man didn't ask to be healed, nor did he display great faith. But Jesus, full of mercy, healed him anyway.

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores another encounter in the book of John to encourage us in the fact that healing is in God's heart.

Jesus' brother James wrote to the church: "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you," (James 4:8). Do you want to know the heart of your Father, reflected in the heart of Jesus? Do you want to know His nature, His character, His compassion for the people of the world He created? 

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger dives into how David expressed our Father's nature and love for us.

The tension between our human tendencies and the life Christ has called us to is one that generations of Christians have struggled against. In Paul's letters, he invites us to be crucified with Christ. It's not always easy to give up the things we enjoy, but in order for Christ to shine through us, we need to die to our old selves and become new creations.

Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Cory Meade encourages us to lean i...

The wind and waves still know the name of Jesus! In the midst of the chaos of the world, we can take hope in the sovereignty of our Lord and Savior, and we can trust in His goodness for us and the rest of the world.

Join us in Mooresville for an encouraging word from guest speaker Jim Hill about relying on the Lord in the midst of these frightening times.

God is raising an army; and His army is unlike any army on earth; it is His Bride—those who are deeply in love with Jesus and speak from that place of devotion (Revelation 22:17). The enemy's greatest fear is not one person with a voice, but a multitude of surrendered voices echoing heaven together. 

Join us in Mooresville as Senior Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to heed God's call for willing voices, and to let Him speak thro...

In John 4, a government official risks reputation and rank, traveling to Capernaum to Cana to beg Jesus for healing. His son was dying, hope was slipping—but Jesus spoke a word, and the man believed what he saw. That belief sparked a miracle, and a household came to faith.

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade unpacks this powerful encounter and invites us to trust Jesus at His word.
