Let the Dust Settle Pt.3: Don't Drive in the Dust — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah encourages believers to pause in God's presence when emotions rise, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide decisions and responses rather than acting impulsively from anger, fear, or other strong feelings; allowing our flesh (the "dust") to settle rather than being driven by emotions and feelings. By practicing "Selah" - pausing in God's presence - believers can gain spiritual clarity and produce the fruit of the Spirit rather than the destructive outcomes of flesh-driven living.

Let the Dust Settle Pt. 2: There's No Room Here — P. Josiah
In part two of this series, Pastor Josiah challenges us as believers to move beyond merely trying to resist the flesh and instead intentionally train to walk in the Spirit. He emphasizes making "no provision for the flesh" while actively filling ourselves with God's presence. When we are empty and weary, life's pressures crush us, but when filled with the Spirit through God's Word, prayer, worship, and community, we can withstand these same pressures and run the race God has set before us.

Let The Dust Settle Pt. 1: Seed, Soul & Spirit — Natalie Gurnsey
In part one of this series, Natalie explains how believers can overcome their fleshly nature and walk in the Spirit. She emphasizes that our flesh, made from the dust of the earth, constantly battles against God's Spirit within us. Rather than relying on willpower or self-effort, transformation comes through planting the Word of God in our hearts like a seed, nurturing it through relationship with Jesus, and allowing time for the fruit of the Spirit to grow.

Easter Sunday: This Changed Everything — P. Josiah
In this Easter Message, Pastor Josiah explains the resurrection wasn't a frantic escape but a completed work—Jesus didn't need the burial cloth anymore because death was finished, not final. This small detail reveals that the same God who carefully folded a cloth in the midst of conquering death also cares intimately about the smallest details of our lives. Jesus' resurrection changes everything.

Palm Sunday: Triumphant Entry — P. Josiah
For Palm Sunday, Pastor Josiah explores the profound significance of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on a donkey colt. Rather than simply commemorating a historical event, the message reveals how Jesus intentionally chose the donkey to signal that He came to bring peace between God and humanity—not through military conquest, but through His sacrificial death on the cross.

Loonies, Toonies & Misconstrunies Pt. 4: The Source of the Seed — P. Josiah
In part four of this series, Pastor Josiah addresses the misconception that financial stewardship is either entirely our responsibility or entirely God's. He establishes that believers are called to be "co-laborers" with God in their finances—neither carrying the full weight alone nor being passive observers. When we partner with God in our finances, we gain access to His supernatural provision, favor, and miracle-working power.

Loonies, Toonies & Misconstrunies Pt 3: Response, Not Result: Why We Give — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah addresses common misconceptions about tithing and presents a biblical understanding of giving.He emphasizes that tithing is not a legalistic requirement for God's love or a transactional means to obtain blessings, but rather a worship response to God's overwhelming goodness and mercy. Giving should flow from a cheerful heart in response to God's grace, not from guilt, manipulation, or obligation.

Loonies, Toonies & Misconstrunies Pt. 2: The "My Money" Trap — P. Josiah
In part two of the series, Pastor Josiah challenges the common misconception that our money belongs to us, revealing instead that everything we have is God's and we are merely stewards of His resources. He confronts the cultural lie of "self-made" success, and reminds us that the ultimate goal is to hear "Well done, good and faithful servant" when we stand before God, having faithfully stewarded everything He placed in our hands.

Loonies, Toonies & Misconstrunies Pt. 1: Money: Root, Fruit or Tool? — P. Josiah
In part one of this series, Pastor Josiah addresses common misconceptions about money from a biblical perspective. He challenges two prevalent "ditches" people fall into: believing money is the root of all evil (leading to poverty mentality) and viewing money as the ultimate source of happiness and security. The core message emphasizes that money is neither inherently evil nor our source of provision—rather, it is a tool God provides for His purposes.

Relationship Reset Pt. 3: Finding Freedom Within Boundaries — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah addresses the importance of establishing biblical boundaries in relationships to help them flourish rather than struggle. God has established clear guidelines for relationships that define what is "in play" and "out of bounds." The message emphasizes that boundaries don't restrict life but actually enable us to live more fully, just as children with clear boundaries explore more freely than those without them

BUILD Pt. 4: The God Gap — P. Josiah
In part 4 of this sermon series, Pastor Josiah poses the question, are we building our lives as genuine offerings to God, or are we constructing cheap imitations that merely look spiritual from a distance? We're challenged to examine the markers of our own spiritual construction, and reminded that unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain (Psalm 127:1).

BUILD Pt 3: Get Up! — P. Josiah
In part three of this series, Pastor Josiah focuses on the account of blind Bartimaeus to illustrate how we must throw off false identities rooted in past hurts, failures, and limitations in order to build what God has called us to create. The core truth is that our identity is not found in our past, our failures, or our wounds, but in being the righteousness of God and children of God through Christ.

Build Pt. 1: The Blueprint for 2026: Palace or Temple? — P. Josiah
In part one of this series, Pastor Josiah challenges believers to examine what they are building with their lives in 2026. Using King Solomon's life as a cautionary tale, the message contrasts building a "palace" (focused on self-rule, personal ambitions, and individual desires) with building a "temple" (living as a living sacrifice wholly devoted to God). The core message emphasizes that as we delight in the Lord and seek Him first, He adds all other blessings to our lives, bringing true fulfillment, provision, and purpose.
