In this week’s message from our Foundations series, we explored the unseen battle between truth and lies, a spiritual reality that shapes how we see God, ourselves, and the world.
Jesus said, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (John 8:32) The enemy’s strategy is deception. Subtle lies that distort reality and keep us bound by fear, shame, or confusion. But through the cross, Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness and gave us authority to stand firm in His victory.
When we bring every thought captive to Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5), we break agreement with lies and align our minds with truth. Freedom begins when we stop believing what the enemy says about us and start standing on what God says is true.
You don’t fight for victory, you fight from it.
The battle belongs to Jesus, and He’s already won.
In this week’s message from our Foundations series, we explored what it means to love God with our whole being — heart, soul, mind, and strength — and how spiritual maturity cannot happen apart from emotional health.
When we’re born again, our spirit is made new, but our history, habits, and emotional patterns often remain unhealed. Many of us live with spiritual dissonance, believing God is good but still feeling anxious, numb, or disconnected. Jesus doesn’t shame those places; He meets us in them.
This teaching invites us to stop living divided lives and allow God’s love to bring healing and alignment to every part of who we are. As we face our pain and patterns with honesty, we’re being loved into wholeness.
This is the whole gospel for the whole self for the whole world where transformed hearts become instruments of transformation in homes, communities, and beyond.
This week in our Foundations series, we explore what it means to love God with our whole being — heart, soul, mind, and strength.
We aren’t meant to live divided lives. Spiritual in one part and disconnected in another. God’s love is meant to fill every room of the house, bringing healing and wholeness to our entire being.
Discover how loving God with all that we are shapes how we love others and live in the world. When His love fills us, it changes everything.
🎧 Listen as we unpack what it means to live whole, not compartmentalized, but fully alive in Jesus.
In this teaching, we explore how the entire story of Scripture is a covenant journey between God and humanity, culminating in the new and better covenant Jesus established through His death, resurrection, and ascension.From Noah to Abraham, Moses to David, each covenant revealed more of God’s heart, but it’s in Jesus that we see the full picture. He didn’t come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, transforming our relationship with God from law-based religion to love-based communion.Discover how this better covenant frees us from the weight of performance and invites us into partnership with God where we get to live as His sons and daughters, filled with His Spirit, and shaped by His love.
In this message, we begin the next movement of our Foundations series—shifting from spiritual practices to the core beliefs that shape how we live.
Jesus announced a Kingdom unlike any other. In His Kingdom, the sick are healed, the forgotten are seen, the oppressed are valued, and the table is open to all.
This Kingdom is not built by power or politics but by love flowing from hearts that have been made new by His Spirit.We are invited to kneel before the King, to let His rule begin within us so that His Kingdom can flow through us.
In this conclusion to our Foundations practices, we explore how prayer slows us down, places us before the Father, and shapes us into people of love in a culture of distraction and division. Romans 12 calls us not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds—and prayer is where that transformation happens.
From Acts 12, when the church prayed earnestly and chains literally fell off Peter, we’re reminded that prayer is not empty ritual. It is communion with God that changes us and the world around us.
Service
In a week marked by violence and hostility across our nation, we turned to Jesus’ call to be a community of hospitality in a culture of hostility.This message from our Foundations series reminds us that true witness doesn’t start with pointing at the problems “out there,” but with letting Jesus search our own hearts. Before we can carry His love into a hurting world, we must repent of judgment, anger, or indifference and exchange them for His compassion.Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’re reminded that our neighbors aren’t defined by categories or similarities rather they’re the people God puts in our path. To follow Jesus is to “Go and do likewise, ”to see, to stop, to have compassion, and to step toward those who are hurting.Watch now as we explore how to practice authentic witness, and how ordinary moments can become powerful expressions of Jesus’ Kingdom.
Generosity
n this message from our Foundations series, we dive into the biblical practice of fasting: what it is, why Jesus assumed His followers would do it, and how it awakens a deeper hunger for His presence.
Throughout Scripture, God’s people fasted. Jesus Himself began His ministry with fasting, and He taught, “When you fast…” not if.
Fasting exposes our disordered desires, retrains our appetites, and reminds us that true satisfaction is only found in Him. It puts us face-to-face with our weakness to open us to God’s transforming power.
Practicing the Way
Practice of Community
The Practice of Sabbath is to be formed in rest. To Sabbath is to trust that God is working when we’re not, to embrace our limits, and to let go of our addiction to hurry, hustle, and proving our worth. This ancient practice is spiritual warfare in disguise because it fights back against the cultural lie that we are what we produce.
Prayer
In this message from our House of Prayer series, we look at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9–14 and learn what it means to pray with intention.
From house arrest, he prays for a group of believers he’s never met, asking for things that matter eternally: spiritual wisdom, endurance, fruitfulness, strength, and joy.
Kim invites us to step beyond surface-level prayers and into deeper alignment with God’s heart. It’s about partnering with the Spirit to pray crafted, consistent prayers that shape people, not just circumstances.
In Ephesians 3:14–21, we hear the heartbeat of Paul grounded in the presence of God, not the pressure of circumstance. From a prison cell, Paul crafts a prayer, not for rescue, but for revelation. This week, we continued digging the well of prayer in our lives, homes, and church. Join us as we walk through Paul’s prayer and rediscover that God’s power in us is more than enough.
In the final section of John 17, Jesus prays for all future believers—that we would be one, just as He and the Father are one. This kind of unity isn’t just relational—it’s missional. It reveals God’s love to the world.
In this message, we explore what it means to be formed by His glory, anchored in His love, and united in purpose. Jesus’ prayer wasn’t that we would be taken out of the world—but that we would be shaped in it, together.
If you’ve been longing for deeper connection, clarity of mission, and a sense of belonging, this message is for you.

Jesus didn’t pray to take us out of the world, He prayed that we’d be formed for it.In this message, we explore the heart of John 17, where Jesus prays for His disciples to be anchored, sanctified, and sent. Not out of the world, but into it with His truth, His name, and His joy.Watch now and be encouraged to live out your faith in the middle of the mission.
Andy invites us into the first movement of John 17, revealing the depth of His heart, mission, and fidelity to the Father’s will. Drawing from the imagery of a cluttered garage as a window into our lives, Andy walks us through how prayer opens us to God’s timing, character, and purpose. Jesus' prayer is not one of escape, but alignment.
What does it mean to pray with bold faith? In this teaching, we look at the early church in Acts and the example of Elijah in James 5. Bold prayers don’t begin with noise—they begin with listening. Join us as we explore what it means to be a Spirit-filled community marked by surrender, trust, and bold, effective prayer.ers
