The beginning of the promises to the Israelites came when God promised a great nation to their forefather, Abraham (Genesis 15). Joshua found himself facing the fulfillment of those promised when he led the Israelites into the land they were to inhabit. But, that promise lives on today, now that the Spirit has been poured out on all who will accept the call.

In Philippians 4:8–9, Paul reminds us that our thoughts set the tone for the atmosphere of our lives. But he doesn't leave it at that—he ties our thinking to our living. When we not only fill our minds with God's truth but also put it into practice, something beautiful happens: we experience His nearness. The promise is clear—"The God of peace will be with you."

Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead in John 11, but before the miracle, He reminds His disciples that it would all be "for the glory of God." Again and again in John's gospel, we see Jesus reveal His glory, but never for Himself—it was always to point back to the Father.

"So here's what I've learned through it all: Leave all your cares and anxieties at the feet of the Lord, and measureless grace will strengthen you." (Psalms 55:22 TPT). Leave all your plans and "need to's," all your stressful thoughts at 4am, all your ideas about how you are going succeed—instead, learn the rhythms of grace. An identity in Grace is the good news for the Christian.

We have been designed and invited into something glorious. In all His love, mercy, and kindness, God has invited us to partner with Him, and to be His hands and feet in this life. Will you accept the calling, and join God's plan for your life?

Join us in Mooresville as Pastor Andy Squyres picks up where he left of last week with another encouragement for us to join God's priesthood of believers.

Jesus offers us personal relationship with himself. That relationship goes beyond the transaction to friendship and even brotherhood. This personal relationship is much needed in the world and we get the privilege of sharing what Christ is shared with us.

Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Cory Meade encourages us to lean into our friendship with Jesus and draw close to him.

We all need purpose. Do you know why we're here? For what purpose has God put you on the Earth during this generation? Purpose drives us. It gets us up in the morning. Purpose creates a "get to" mentality instead of a "have to." Jesus had a purpose—and He lives in you.

Two grieving sisters face the unthinkable in John 11: their brother Lazarus has been in the grave for four days. Martha meets Jesus with unshakable faith, Mary comes to Him with overwhelming grief, and Jesus responds with both deep compassion and a powerful reminder: "I am the resurrection and the life." Moments later, he calls Lazarus out of the tomb, displaying God's glory for all to see.

When someone joins the military, they aren't sent straight into combat—they're trained first. They're equipped to survive, endure, and overcome the enemy. That preparation is essential. In the same way, God prepares us for spiritual battles (Psalm 144:1). He doesn't throw us in unready. Instead, He strengthens us and teaches us through situations that build endurance, wisdom, and faith.

In John 9, a man born blind is just trying to survive another day of begging when Jesus sees him, stops, and makes him part of a divine demonstration: “I am the light of the world.” With spit and mud, Jesus breaks religious norms, redeems years of shame, and opens eyes—not just physically, but spiritually. As the man’s sight is restored, his understanding of Jesus deepens: from man, to prophet, to Lord.

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.
