Is God’s Word shaping your life or just informing it? Scripture is not simply an accessory to our lives; it’s the foundation we build on and the tool God uses to shape us. As Pastor Daniel continues our “Built Different” series, he invites us to place ourselves under the authority of God’s Word, allowing its wisdom to form our hearts and steer our daily choices.

Is God’s Word shaping your life or just informing it? Scripture is not simply an accessory to our lives; it’s the foundation we build on and the tool God uses to shape us.

Imagine how our lives could change if we prayed bold prayers! In our new “Built Different” series, Pastor Daniel kicks off the new year by teaching us that prayer isn’t passive. When we draw near to God, our faith grows as we pray promises from His Word, prioritize fasting, and trust God to move powerfully in our everyday lives.

In his message “Back to the Future” Pastor Joakim Lundqvist reflects on God’s faithfulness and looks ahead to all God wants to do in a new year and new season. He reminds us that even in seasons of weeping, God leads His people from strength to strength. God’s presence, a rising new generation, and a renewed passion for the lost carry us into the new year, encouraging us to keep moving forward with courage, purpose, and hearts set on pilgrimage.

God doesn’t wait for us to get it right—He runs to meet us where we are. While the world expects us to earn our way back, God welcomes the broken, pursues the lost, and waits patiently for His children to come home. In our series, “His Name Shall Be Called,” Pastor Daniel shares the parable of the prodigal son to reveal our Everlasting Father who restores and celebrates, inviting us to experience that same redeeming love found only in Jesus Christ!

What if the mighty God who rules the universe is also the One running toward our cries for help?

No matter what we’re facing, He hears us and is ready to respond with compassion and power.

Could it be that the Christmas story started far earlier than we think? In our new series, “His Name Shall Be Called,” Pastor Joakim Lundqvist reminds us that Jesus didn’t just show up in Bethlehem—He’s been present since the very beginning. From Old Testament encounters to ancient prophecies, Scripture has been pointing to who Jesus really is all along: our Wonderful Counselor and the One who still brings wonder into our lives today.

What if the roadblocks in your life are actually invitations to grow? To conclude our “How Not to Ruin Your Life” series, Pastor Daniel unpacks the everyday attitudes that hold us back and the simple wisdom that helps us grow. With practical insight and plenty of grace, he invites us to trade pride and stubbornness for the humility and wisdom that move our lives forward.

In a world where friendships can feel surface-level or easily disposable, Proverbs reminds us what true, life-giving relationships can look like. Continuing our “How Not to Ruin Your Life” series, Lisa Harper shares how the right relationships can shape our character, strengthen our faith, and steady us through every season.

What if the secret to a better life is giving more away? Scripture tells us generosity doesn’t hinder us—God can use it to grow us and bless others.

What’s the difference between intelligence and wisdom? One fills our minds but the other guides our life. In the first message of our “How Not to Ruin Your Life” series, Pastor Daniel Floyd shares a breakdown of what a life of true wisdom looks like and the pitfalls we can avoid when we put God first.

We weren’t born to sit on the sidelines—we were made to serve! Concluding our “Made for More” series, Pastor Daniel unpacks how God has uniquely gifted each believer through the Holy Spirit to make a difference. When we discover our spiritual gifts and lovingly use them to glorify Jesus, we can find the joy and purpose we were made for.

“Made for Worship” by Pastor Daniel Floyd October 19, 2025 Did you know you were made for more than just getting through the day? Pastor Daniel continues our “Made for More” series by reminding us that true worship transforms us so we can enjoy the abundant life Jesus promised. As we praise God with our mouths, our actions, and our hearts, we step into our purpose and the life God designed for us all along.

What does it mean to live on mission for Jesus? Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Made for More” series with an empowering reminder that sharing the truth of the gospel is not merely accomplished through our words but in the way we live, the seeds we plant, and the refining we can grow through. When our minds are set on Jesus, our lives can have a greater impact on the world for the kingdom.

God desires a life of fulfillment for us, but what does that mean? Kicking off our “Made for More” series, Pastor Daniel teaches we were never meant to journey through this life alone. As believers, it’s part of our calling to forge healthy, godly relationships with those around us. Find out how God can equip you to have “more” with Him and the people He’s placed in your life!

In a world constantly searching for “more,” how can we be truly content? Pastor Daniel concludes our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching us that genuine contentment comes from both natural and supernatural work. We must learn contentment by living within limits and fuel it through gratitude, but Jesus completes the work. When our confidence is rooted in Him, we can be content whatever the circumstance.

What if joy wasn’t something you stumbled into, but something you could actually choose every day? Pastor Joakim Lundqvist continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by showing us daily choices we can make to experience God’s endless supply of joy. These choices bring lasting peace and the fullness of joy, no matter our circumstances.

When the world around looks darkest, how do we find our way to joy? Pastor Daniel continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series by teaching from Paul’s example in Philippians. He reminds us that joy doesn’t come from our earthly credentials or circumstances but in remembering we are chosen by God, redeemed, and called for a purpose.

What if joy isn’t something you find, but something you live out? Pastor Daniel continues our “Happy, but Hollow” series and encourages us to rediscover true joy by following Christ’s example of humility—shifting the focus off ourselves and fully trusting God’s work in us. When we choose gratitude over grumbling and allow God to renew us, we reflect His light and display His love in a dark world.
