Stay on the wall: Nehemiah Series
Stay on the Wall: When Work Becomes Worship Every great work will face great resistance. That’s the unshakeable truth we find in Nehemiah 6. Nehemiah was in the thick of rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls—exhausted, covered in dust, half-finished, and right there, opposition intensified. Distraction, defamation, deception, and discouragement came at him in waves. And yet, his…

Open House: Walking Before You Work
There’s a stirring when God breathes vision into dry places. Like a gentle breeze igniting a wildfire, divine vision doesn’t simply inspire; it transforms. It unites. It carries a weight that draws scattered hearts into sacred alignment. In the story of Nehemiah, we see a man not just lamenting what was broken but moved by…

Open House: A Church That Changes Things
There’s a stirring in the hearts of God’s people—an aching question whispered between the lines of sermons, between boardroom meetings, between school pick-ups and late-night prayers: Can the local church really change the world?

Beyond These Walls: Nehemiah Series
There’s a stirring in the soul of the Church—a holy discontent rising from the ruins.

In Nehemiah’s time, as now, He is awakening revivalists who see beyond broken bricks…

Open House: The Stories That Shape Us
Often, the loudest truths from Heaven come wrapped in the gentle rhythms of everyday life. It’s not always in the fire or the storm, the conference, or the mountaintop moment—but in the car trip, the immigration queue, the broken trailer, or the quiet sweetness of marriage rediscovered that God whispers most profoundly: “I am here,…

Cold-Play Love
Love. We all crave it. We all want to be known, pursued, chosen. Yet in a world that shouts “follow your heart” but whispers “run when it gets hard,” we’ve found ourselves tangled in a web of cheap affection and shallow connection. Have you ever felt the slow fade? That moment when a strong relationship…

More than a Miracle
What if the miracle wasn’t the finish line—but the invitation? In John 5, we find a man lying by the pool of Bethesda—paralyzed not just in body, but in hope. Thirty-eight years of waiting, wishing, watching others receive what he had longed for. This wasn’t just a physical struggle—it became his identity, his routine, his…

Living Light
What if “living light” isn’t about dodging hardship but about surrendering how we carry what we’ve been given? In a world that tells us to remove the load, Jesus dares to offer instead a different yoke—his presence, his way, his perspective. This message from the Childlike series, “Living Light,” invites us to consider that wonder,…

Let’s Talk Legacy: Building Beyond Business
Legacy is not about what you leave behind—it’s about who you launch forward. It’s not merely brick and mortar or balance sheet or brand equity. Legacy is the echo of faith down generations, the sound of heaven reverberating through boardrooms and homes, spreadsheets and sanctuaries. At its core, legacy is about courageously leveraging today’s opportunity…
