Our Goal / My Role Pt. 2: Identifying Your Unique Role — Natalie Gurnsey
In part two of this series, Natalie explores the profound truth that God has uniquely gifted each of us for a purpose within His grand design. Just as in nature's ecosystems where every creature plays a crucial role, we too are part of God's ecosystem - the body of Christ. Our spiritual gifts, whether they be encouragement, leadership, or discernment, are not for our glory but for the strengthening of the church. We're challenged to embrace our God-given gifts without comparison or shame, understanding that these are strategic decisions made by our Creator.

Our Goal / My Role Pt. 1: Understanding God's Purpose — P. Josiah
Are we living life in a small way, focused solely on ourselves? In part one of this series, pastor Josiah challenges us to shift our perspective from a self-centered 'Mona Lisa' view to seeing the grand masterpiece God is painting with our lives. We're reminded that our lives aren't small, but we might be living them in a small way. The apostle Paul's words to the Corinthians urge us to enter a 'wide open, spacious life' by recognizing our role in God's greater goal.

Dinner is Served Pt. 3: Aligned for Abundance — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah shows us that God has already prepared a feast, but we must align ourselves with His purpose to fully partake in it. Just as the little boy offered his small lunch to Jesus to feed the 5,000, we too are encouraged to bring what we have—no matter how insignificant it may seem—and trust God to multiply it. When our actions and attitudes are brought into harmony with His design, we open ourselves to experience the fullness of His provision.

I Need More ___ Pt 4: Patience —P. Josiah
In part four of this series, Pastor Josiah delves into the powerful combination of faith and patience. God's timing is perfect, and the 'in-between' periods are opportunities for growth and healing. As we learn to be patient with God, we naturally become more patient in other areas of our lives. This message challenges us to see waiting not as a burden, but as a gift from God - a time to seek Him, grow in faith, and prepare for the fulfillment of His promises in our lives.

I Need More___ Pt. 3: Joy — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah explores the concept of Joy. In doing so, we discover that true joy is fundamentally different from happiness. While happiness is fleeting and dependent on circumstances, joy is a fruit of the Spirit that grows within us as we remain connected to Jesus, the true vine. By remaining in Christ, immersing ourselves in His Word, and obeying His commands, believers can experience an overflowing joy that endures even in difficult circumstances.

I Need More ___ Pt. 2: Self-Control — P. Josiah
In part two of this message, Pastor Josiah explores the concept of self-control through the lens of two contrasting biblical accounts: Esau's impulsive decision to trade his birthright for a bowl of stew, and Jesus' resistance to temptation in the wilderness; and how these stories reveal how our choices in moments of weakness can profoundly impact our future.We're challenged to consider: Are we living like Esau, at the mercy of our cravings, or like Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit to resist temptation and pursue God's will?

I Need More ___Pt.1: Peace — P. Josiah
In part one of this series, Pastor Josiah points highlights that in our quest for peace, we often look to external circumstances, but true peace comes from within. The story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4 teaches us that lasting peace isn't contingent on our environment. Just as Jesus slept peacefully amidst the tempest, we too can cultivate an inner tranquility that withstands life's storms. This peace isn't about the absence of trouble, but about maintaining composure and trust in God's presence.

Faith Pt. 4: Church on Fire — Guest Speaker: P. Ryan Iverson
In part 4 of this series, Pastor Ryan reminds us of the essence of a 'Church on Fire' as described in Acts 2. The early church wasn't just a gathering; it was a transformative movement fueled by devotion to Jesus, fellowship, and God's presence. We're challenged to keep our focus on Christ, avoiding the pitfalls of empty philosophies or human thinking that can lead us astray. Our faith journey isn't about being comfortable or self-centered, but about serving others and expecting God to move in mighty ways.

Faith Pt. 3: Seeds, Not Rocket Ships — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah explores the concept of living by faith, contrasting "rocket ship faith" with "seed faith." Faith is not about waiting for perfect conditions but about taking bold steps in response to God's word. He encourages believers to trust God's promises and act on them, even when circumstances seem challenging or impossible.

Faith Pt. 2: Title Deeds — Guest Speaker: P. Willie Dueck
In part two of this series, Pastor Willie reminds us that faith is not just a concept, but a tangible force in our lives. We're encouraged to view faith as a 'title deed' to God's promises - something we can claim even before we see it manifest. This perspective transforms how we approach challenges, reminding us that we can 'live by faith' in every aspect of our lives, not just in times of crisis.

Faith Pt. 1: Building a Case for the Unseen — Guest Speaker: Chris McDonald
In part one of this series, guest speaker Chris McDonald challenges us to embrace a lids of faith that goes beyond what we can see with our natural eyes. The central theme revolves around Hebrews 11:1, which defines faith as 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' We are encouraged to view faith not as wishful thinking, but as a tangible reality backed by God Himself. Just as a title deed proves ownership, our faith is evidence of the spiritual realities God has promised us.
