Pentecost Sunday | Poured Out Series | Week 1

This past Sunday’s message, “Poured Out: Living by the Holy Spirit,” focused on what it truly means to live a Spirit-filled life. Through Acts 2 and Ephesians 1, the message reminded us that the Holy Spirit is not just a force or feeling, but the very presence of God living within believers. We were encouraged to see that being Spirit-led isn’t about perfection or performance, but about belonging to God, walking in love, and allowing the Holy Spirit to transform us daily. From bold faith and healing to patience, kindness, and everyday obedience, the message challenged us to ask: What does a Spirit-filled life look like in this season of my life?

The Story Isn't Over | Stephen Stinton | May 17, 2026

Pastor Stephen Stinton’s message reminded us that the story of Jesus didn’t end at Easter — Jesus is alive, reigning, and still moving through His people today. Teaching from Acts 1, Pastor Mark encouraged us to live as bold witnesses of God’s Kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit, pointing others to Jesus not only with our words, but through lives marked by love, service, humility, and faithfulness. No matter what season you’re in, the story isn’t over — Jesus is still working, and His Kingdom is still advancing.

Living in Christ's Victory Over Sickness | Already Won Series | Week 4

This Sunday’s message continued our “Already Won” series, focusing on living in Christ’s victory over sickness. We explored the tension of the “already but not yet”—how Jesus has already conquered sin, death, and brokenness, yet we still experience illness and weakness in this life. Through 2 Corinthians 4, we were reminded that we are like “jars of clay,” fragile yet carrying the powerful treasure of Christ within us. Even in our brokenness, God’s strength is revealed. The message encouraged us to lean into our own struggles and the struggles of others, holding onto hope in Jesus now while looking forward to the day when He will fully restore all things.

Christ's Victory Over Death | Already Won Series | Week 3

This week’s message explored how we face the reality of death through the victory of Jesus. While death is unavoidable, we’re reminded that it’s not the end—because Christ has already overcome it. We were encouraged to put our faith in Jesus, grieve with hope, and choose hope over fear in every season. Through personal stories and Scripture, the message challenged us to live boldly, trust God deeply, and hold onto the promise of eternal life, even in the midst of loss. We closed the service by celebrating 4 baptisms—powerful moments of people choosing faith, hope, and new life in Christ.
