The Right Relationship

Pastor Jon Akin continues our series on Exodus, highlighting the significance of relationships. Throughout the Bible, we see numerous examples of God's desire for a deep connection with His people, rooted in His abundant love for them. It’s crucial not only to invest in our relationship with God but also to strengthen our relationships with others and become a positive influence for the gospel. Pastor Jon challenges us to reflect on the relationships we are nurturing and how they can help those around us draw closer to God!

Trusting God's Process

Pastor Jon Akin encourages us to remain faithful in our walks with Christ as we navigate the wilderness and the in-between moments of life. Like the Israelites, when we face hardships, we may question what God is doing and whether He is truly with us. However, by continuing to trust God, relying on His Word, and reminding ourselves of the gospel, we are transformed into people who can praise God both in the valleys and on the mountaintops!

Biblical Worship

Sometimes we forget that worship isn’t about style or preference, but about remembering who God is and what He has done. This Sunday, Pastor Jon Akin implores us to return our hearts to Biblical worship. In Exodus 15, we’re reminded that biblical worship helps us remember, celebrates God’s victories, and declares that there is no one like Him. More than just music, worship is a weapon for spiritual warfare that strengthens our faith, proclaims truth, and encourages others. Watch and be reminded not to take worship for granted!

Repentance Over Regret

In this message, Pastor Jon takes an honest look at the difference between regret and repentance. Regret keeps us focused on what we wish we could change. Repentance invites us to actually turn and move in a new direction. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same patterns, weighed down by past decisions, or unsure how to move forward, this message speaks directly to that tension. Through Scripture and practical insight, Pastor Jon walks through what it looks like to stop circling the same struggles and begin walking in a new way.

God Is With You

Pastor Jon Akin continued our series through Exodus with an empowering message of how God can use our lives to impact others. Despite Moses' insecurity and sense of unqualification, God still raised him up as a leader and led him every step of the way. Digging deeper into Exodus 3 and 4, Pastor Akin shares eight reasons why God can use broken people to make an eternal impact.
