Revival is a transformative move of God, marked by a distinct spiritual awakening led by the Holy Spirit. It calls believers to rely on the Spirit rather than just natural abilities, reprioritize spiritual disciplines, and reignite their passion for God’s purposes. True revival fosters extravagant generosity, a renewed heart for the lost, and a refusal to grow complacent in faith. Just as the early Church experienced a powerful outpouring on Pentecost, revival today brings freedom, unity, and a fresh season of spiritual renewal for those who surrender fully to God’s presence.

Life is a journey of faith, a long obedience in the same direction. Hebrews 12 reminds us to run with perseverance, fixing our eyes on Jesus—the author and perfecter of our faith. Just like Abraham stepped out in trust, not knowing the full picture, we’re called to daily obedience, walking in faith one step at a time. It’s not about striving in our own strength but responding to the voice of God, knowing He is faithful to complete what He’s started. Our faith isn’t just for us—it’s generational, impacting those who come after us. So let’s keep moving forward, trusting that Jesus is leading us, strengthening us, and shaping us for His purpose.

This Mission Sunday, we are filled with faith and expectation for all that God has in store for us in 2025. We believe this is a season of breakthrough, where God is calling us—our incredible church family—to take another step in faith, trusting Him with greater courage and reliance. Throughout scripture, God’s people stepped forward in faith toward His promises, and now we believe it’s our time to do the same. As we gather across our global locations, we’ll hear inspiring stories of faith and see how God is moving powerfully through our church to bring hope and love to the world.

Sometimes in our prayer life, we find ourselves in the midst of unanswered prayers—moments when we pour our hearts out, expecting breakthroughs, yet the answer seems to be delayed or different from what we envisioned. But here's the beautiful truth: even when the timeline doesn’t match our expectations, God is still at work.   In these times of waiting, we are invited into a deeper dialogue with our Heavenly Father. Just like the prophet Habakkuk, who wrestled with his questions about God's timing, we too can bring our doubts and frustrations before God. He is not intimidated by our questions; in fact, He longs for us to be honest with Him because our struggles refine our faith and draw us closer to His heart.   Every unanswered prayer is part of a larger, divine narrative—a reminder that our God is bigger than our plans and greater than our questions. In the midst of our longing, He is weaving a story of redemption, hope, and transformation that we might not see today but will surely understand in His perfe

Three shifts that we are contending for: 1. Crowds to communities. 2. Consumers to contributors. 3. Collected to the commissioned

Jabez concludes his prayer with a plea for God’s protection. He understood that the blessings and purposes of God might bring challenges, opposition, and trials. By entrusting his safety to God, Jabez expressed his faith in God’s power to shield him.

Step into the fullness of God's purpose for your life! In this powerful message, we explore the story of Jabez and what it means to live with a heart after God, aligned with His plans and promises. Be inspired to pray boldly, expand your faith, and trust in His faithfulness through every season. Whether you're seeking clarity, breakthrough, or a fresh start, this message will ignite your spirit. Let’s journey together as we grow in love, purpose, and devotion to Jesus!

God is closer than we know. He is revealing His glory to us every day. We need to be bold and ask Him to show it to us. He has more for us than we can imagine. He doesn't want you to live through someone else's experience of Him. He wants you to experience Him first hand - it's time to position yourself to experience Him.

As we step into a new year, we’re fixing our hearts on Jesus and committing to PRAY FIRST. Just like Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, we’re crying out, “Oh, that You would bless me!” Jabez’s story reminds us that no matter what labels or pain have marked our past, God is able to rewrite the narrative with His blessing and grace. This is our prayer: That we would seek God first, align with His heart, and walk in the fullness of His favor. Let’s step into 2025 with faith, declaring that His plans are good and His blessings are abundant. Take a moment to call on Him—He’s ready to meet you right where you are. #PrayFirst #JesusFirst #BlessedAndRedeemed

Do you want to live with by faith, unashamedly knowing who you are, where you're going, and what he says over your life?

Discover the incredible story of Jesus' birth and how it changed everything. Unlike earthly kings, Jesus came to establish a kingdom in our hearts, bringing love, forgiveness, and redemption. His life, death, and resurrection reveal God's deep love and His plan to restore us. This Christmas, reflect on the true meaning of His gift and let His love transform your heart.

This Christmas, let's take a moment to reflect on the incredible hope we have in Jesus. From Mary’s song in Luke 1, we see a powerful reminder to glorify God, no matter the circumstances, to celebrate His grace, and to hold tightly to His promises. Christmas is a time to remember that Jesus didn’t just come to the world; He came for you, for me, and for all of us. His love brings hope, justice, and restoration to a broken world. So, let’s lean into the true meaning of Christmas and celebrate the life-changing gift of our Savior!

What do we do when we feel like we are in the valley? Is God really there with us? Does He have a purpose for our lives?

God wants to break up the soil of our hearts, so we can reap the harvest that He plants in us. He wants us to dig deep into Him. He wants to soften the ground of our heart so He can speak to us.

There is power in God's anointing, and we believe that it is a significant act we do every year—to take a moment and anoint everyone. We believe that God will have His hand over you in 2025 and that He still has good plans to prosper you and not to harm you. 

Do you know that we have a easy access back to God? Our salvation is a beautiful way God made so that we could have eternal life with Him. We are all sinners and not perfect but because Jesus died for our sins on the cross, we now have easy access to God's love and inheritance in Heaven.
