Active Faith | DCIO | Summer Kickoff 2026

Who's Worth It?

We all do it. We size up a room, drift toward certain people, and quietly decide who’s worth our time. It feels normal. It might even feel harmless. But what if favoritism isn’t just a social habit — what if it’s actually a statement about someone’s worth?This week we’re in James 2:1-13, and James has some pointed words for anyone who’s ever played favorites — which is all of us. Mercy sees the value in others that favoritism steals. I serve as the High School Pastor at Decatur City Church in Decatur, GA — part of the North Point Ministries family.

Active Faith | DCIO | Summer Kickoff 2026

Showing up is a start. But it's not enough. James 1:22-25 makes it clear — a faith that just listens and never acts is a faith that's fooling itself.

How Do You Hear God’s Voice? | Tuned In | Week 1

There are a lot of voices competing for our attention every day — friends, social media, school, culture, and expectations about the future. But what about God? Does God still speak today? And if He does, how do we recognize His voice? In Week 1 of our Tuned In series, we explore the clearest place God speaks to us: Scripture. The Bible isn’t just an ancient book — it’s living and active, helping us understand God’s character, align our lives with His will, and grow in relationship with Him. If you’ve ever wondered whether God is silent, distant, or hard to hear, this message is for you.
