When You Don't Know What to Do - Pastor Joseph Pringle

Life has a way of hitting us with unexpected challenges that leave us completely overwhelmed. When you don't know what to do, God doesn't leave you helpless—He invites you to ask Him for wisdom. In this powerful message, Pastor Joseph Pringle explores how trials expose our need for divine wisdom and reveals three key truths: Ask God for wisdom—He gives generously without reproach to anyone who seeks Him. Turn supposing into faith—stop wavering and approach God with confident expectation. Stop living divided—a double-minded heart leads to an unstable life driven by circumstances rather than anchored in truth. Drawing from David's example in the midst of overwhelming opposition, this message challenges us to seek first the kingdom of God and find our refuge in His presence. When enemies surround you and you feel completely overwhelmed, the house of God becomes your shelter where your head is lifted above every challenge. Ready to experience community and grow in faith?

Starting a New Legacy - Cecily Feldman

God seeks people who will intentionally pass down faith to the next generation. Even first-generation believers can start a new spiritual legacy through Jesus' resurrection power, but it requires leaving some things behind and fighting spiritual battles.

The Highest Title - Pastor Joseph Pringle

What's the highest title you could ever achieve? In a world obsessed with status and recognition, Pastor Joseph Pringle reveals a stunning truth from James 1:1 that will completely shift your perspective on success and identity. In this powerful message, discover how true encounter with Jesus settles your identity once and for all. James, the half-brother of Jesus, went from skeptic to surrendered servant after one life-changing encounter with the risen Christ. Learn how proximity doesn't guarantee faith, but genuine encounter transforms everything. Explore why humility is the evidence of revelation - when you truly see Jesus for who He is, you stop elevating yourself and start surrendering yourself. James had every reason to claim his connection to Jesus, yet he chose the title "servant" above all others. Understand what it means to belong to Christ as His bondservant - not casual part-time help, but complete surrender that leads to true freedom. The greatest in God's kingdom are those who serve, following Jesus' example of washing His disciples' feet. Ready to discover your true identity?
