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).

In John 4, a government official risks reputation and rank, traveling to Capernaum to Cana to beg Jesus for healing.

Join us this week as Head Pastor Ryan Meade unpacks this powerful encounter …

What Looked Like a Tomb Was a Womb | Byron Wicker | Mooresville 42:44

27d ago42:44

42:44

It's common to focus on the future—what comes next, what's not working, and what we hope God will do. Yet sometimes, our souls need a moment to reflect. Recall how God supported us during the times when we didn't think we could get through. It reminds you that you're not where you are today because you for everything right, but because He never let…

Embracing God's Mysterious Power | Byron Wicker | Mooresville 43:39

1M ago43:39

43:39

We naturally long for God's "right hand" to move in our lives—reflecting His visible strength and action (Exodus 15:6). We love the stories of His glory. The church and the world need to see more of His right-hand power. Yet, there is another power, subtler and less visible: God's "left hand." This power operates like leaven in dough—quiet, hidden,…

The Dove | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill 32:42

32:42

The images and stories of the Old Testament are types and shadows for what God would do when Jesus came. Noah released a dove in Genesis 8, and that occurrence is an image of what would come. At Jesus' baptism, the Holy Spirit came as a dove on Jesus. Today, that dove is in our midst to release our identity as sons and daughters. Join us in Chapel …

We serve a mighty God and cherish big, electric moments—those powerful encounters that shift our lives. But He's not just the God of mountaintops and miracles. He's the God of the everyday, the ordinary, and even the hard times. The New Testament isn't just about the supernatural and the spectacular; it speaks to the rhythms of ordinary life. For e…

An Encounter with Those Willing to Serve | Ryan Meade | Wilmington 35:21

35:21

Jesus meets ordinary people in extraordinary ways—and their lives are never the same. In John 2, a wedding crisis becomes the setting for Jesus' first miracle. The wine ran out, the hosts faced dishonor, and the servants were overwhelmed—but Jesus stepped in, and through their simple obedience, water became wine. These servants didn't just witness …

Through scriptures like Psalm 95 and 145, we are called to give thanks and worship with joyful hearts. The stories of Jacob's ladder (Gen. 28), the stones of remembrance (Josh. 4), and the power of testimony in overcoming the enemy (Rev. 12) remind us that what God has done in our lives is worth remembering and declaring.

Without vision, we lose direction—but God hasn’t forgotten what He placed in your heart. Vision gives purpose and helps us endure. The Holy Spirit desires to renew it when it feels buried by fear or disappointment. Like Peter, our calling starts with knowing Jesus personally.

Getting Into Position | Jeff Miller | Chapel Hill 21:49

2M ago21:49

21:49

As believers, we are saved by faith through grace. However, much of the New Testament seems to be concerned with the walk of living out that truth, and the work that we get to do. In a world with so much else to occupy our time and thoughts, it can be hard to live out the practice of stewarding the kingdom in action. Join us in Chapel Hill as guest…

A Word at the End of the Rope | Byron Wicker | Mooresville 41:20

2M ago41:20

41:20

Jesus came to give us abundant life, not just help us survive (John 10:10). Still, we sometimes walk through valleys that feel like the end. It's not because God has left us, but because there's something deeply valuable to be found there. In those moments when it feels like everything is slipping away, you may be gaining that matters most: the pre…

Jesus' final week was filled with powerful moments—clearing the temple, teaching, the Last Supper, betrayal, trial, and crucifixion. Yet, the story doesn't end at the grave. Through the lens of Mary Magdalene's encounter at the tomb and the promises of scripture, we see that through the resurrection of Jesus, we are called by name to a life marked …

The Resurrection of Hopes and Dreams | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill 34:25

3M ago34:25

34:25

It's hard when your dreams die. "Silent Saturday" was a long, dark day. The Jews in 30 AD had big dreams for the deliverance and restoration of their nation, and those among Jesus' disciples were disappointed when Jesus died, believing their hopes to be forgotten. Sometimes, our hopes die alongside our dreams. Oftentimes, hopes die because we misun…

Christ Crucified! | Andy Squyres | Mooresville 45:52

The world only has one hope: Jesus Christ and him crucified. This refrain is the boast that the church has been singing for two thousand years. It's easy to turn our focus elsewhere in our walks with the Lord, whether that be Spiritual Gifts, Church doctrine, or deep theology, we must stay focused on this simple truth.

Jesus is Our Messiah | Ryan Meade | Wilmington 38:03

3M ago38:03

38:03

Jesus is our long-awaited Messiah—the One who comes to save, restore, and set us free. On Palm Sunday, we remember how He entered Jerusalem not on a war horse, but on a donkey, as the crowds pleaded for him to save them (Matt. 21). Jesus came to bring a deeper kind of freedom—freedom from sin, fear, and the pressures of this world—not just from the…

Palm Sunday and the Heavenly Jerusalem | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill 32:18

3M ago32:18

32:18

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem with the crowds expecting a physical King and Kingdom to be restored. However, Jesus knew He was riding in to establish a heavenly city—a new Jerusalem, a better Jerusalem for His people. According to Hebrews 12:22–24, this heavenly city has key benefits for us as believers, now. Join us in Chapel Hill as H…

An Emmaus Moment | Byron Wicker | Mooresville 42:00

3M ago42:00

42:00

Emmaus comes from a Hebrew root word meaning "warm spring" or "hot springs." It's a fitting name for what happened to the two disciples as they journeyed on the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32)—their hearts burned within them. Emmaus became a spiritual hot spring for them. Hot springs warm you from the outside in, but Jesus does the opposite. He warm…

What do You Have Faith For? | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill 46:30

We all need faith right now. Faith is the gift to see what could be, not just what is. In life as Christians, it is a gift that allows us to take hold of the promises God has given to us. The more faith we can take hold of, the greater assurance we have in God wanting to fulfill those promises in our lives. Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Mat…

The resurrection isn't just a one-off event—it's a spiritual journey. Like the disciples experiencing Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Silent Saturday, Resurrection, and Pentecost, we navigate these moments too. They're historical, sure, but also key steps in our faith. Not everyone dives in—some get stuck on confusion, grief, waiting, or shaking beliefs.…

The Benefits of the New Covenant | Matthew Bollinger | Chapel Hill 41:06

41:06

With Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, the old system of sacrifice and priesthood has been abolished. Now, Jesus is our Great High Priest. The barriers to entry of the old system no longer apply to us, and we are instead given direct access to the one who intercedes on our behalf. As we approach Passion week, this truth is more poignant than ever. Joi…

Memory | Cory Meade | Wilmington 30:53

3M ago30:53

30:53

Memory is a very important concept in the Old Testament, appearing over 230 times, even being cited as the reason the Bible was first written (Exodus 17:14). Memory also plays a large part in our own lives, as a foundation for who we are. What do we do with memories that we have that we'd prefer not to, and what do we do with the memories that we d…
