The metanarrative of Scripture is simply this: God is a Father who created sons and daughters with whom He not only desired to live, but also in whom he desired to live. Beginning with Adam and continuing with Abraham, the Father visited His creation in order that He might dwell among them. Therefore, His visitation became His habitation. Today, we…

What does it mean, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated" (Romans 9:13). This speaks of God's plan to work through Jacob, who valued the spiritual inheritance that came through his grandfather, Abraham, while Esau seemed to have little value for his inheritance. It's not about personal hatred but about God's purpose in choosing Jacob to carry …

Join Alex, Chris, and Jo as they dive into the deep (and sometimes nerdy!) waters of atonement theology. From heated debates on who exactly Jesus died for, to a fun detour into quantum theory and open theism, this episode blends big ideas with a light-hearted twist. In this episode, we explore the different views on the extent of the atonement, inc…

Grace is a very common topic in the Church. So often when developing a belief system about Grace, we ignore the second half of the Grace message, choosing only to focus on the celebration of the forgiveness of our sins. But, there is empowerment in the power of grace for how we are to live our lives. Join us in Wilmington as guest speaker Cory Mead…

The Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, is a holy day in the Bible that symbolizes the Lord's purification of His people. Under the Law in the Old Covenant, it included rituals and the sacrifice of two goats: one for the sins of the priests and another for the sins of the people. However, we no longer need sacrifices or rituals because Jesu…

Jesus Christ was and is fully God and fully Man. As His followers, we don't have to choose between spirituality and humanity—our experience is meant to be both. Our humanity is part of who we are. In the resurrection, we won't stop being human; instead, we will be transformed into the fullness of what God always intended: redeemed, glorified, and p…

Jesus sends us out into the world with His peace, as seen in Matthew 10. That peace is not only a part of God's character but also a vital aspect of the Gospel, and we are invited to embody and share this peace in our communities. In a world filled with turmoil, we are called to bless others with the peace we've received, as illustrated in Ephesian…

The Book of Psalms contains a beautiful prophetic picture of what God desires His house, the church, to be. It is meant to be a place of rest, peace, joy, satisfaction, protection, and abundance. But above all, the defining characteristic of God's house is His tangible presence. It is in His presence that the church finds its fullness. Join us in C…

In this life, there will be pain and strife, trials and tribulations. But, praise be to the God of all comforts (2 Corinthians 1:3). As we walk through the valleys of life and face circumstances which try our patience and faith, we have an opportunity to lean on the Holy Spirit, and look to God as our source of comfort. We will suffer as a fact of …

Philippians 4:6-9 provides a blueprint for living from a place of peace, and emphasizes that peace itself is from God and surpasses all our understanding. Jesus said that in this world we will have trouble and sorrow, but we can be hopeful and continue living in peace because he has overcome the world through his life, death, and resurrection (John…

Have you ever had a big decision to make? How did Jesus make decisions, big or small? Do you think he ever questioned his decisions, like choosing Judas? If we are truly "following Jesus," we want to make decisions about our life in the same way that he did. Here's what we know: He only did what he saw the Father doing, and he never made any decisi…

There is much wisdom to be gleaned from the life of Elijah, and we as a community have different perspectives the Lord has given us to offer fresh revelation when we come together and learn as a body.

In the midst of the external and internal conflict that is prevalent in the world around us, we need to understand the significance of standing firm in God's peace. Ephesians 6:10-18 focuses of the vital role of the "shoes of peace" in our spiritual armor and reminds us of our need for the Good News of Peace. Scripture shows us that the nature of G…

I once heard the Lord say to me, "I am real and I am always speaking." This is the starting point with learning to hear the voice of God: If God is Truth and Reality, then everything else is a lie and counterfeit. He is real, and He is always speaking, the issue is not a speaking issue, but a listening and a hearing issue. Join us in Chapel Hill as…

Elijah, nearing his end on earth, tested Elisha's commitment, yet Elisha refused to give up. (2 Kings 2:1-14). Elisha focused on inheriting Elijah's prophetic spirit and remained steadfast despite distractions. Today, this story warns us about all the voices and who and what we should focus on. Staying focused on what the Holy Spirit is doing, pers…

David wrote, "The same way a loving father feels towards his children—that's but a sample of [God's] tender feelings towards us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you." (Psalms 103:13). If you are going to know Jesus, you need to know His Father. If you are going to follow Jesus, you need to follow the leading & guidance of the Father, also…

Like Elijah, some of us have had powerful encounters with God, yet we might feel like nothing came from them.

Follow Jesus. Follow the path that he has designed for your life. Don't fall for the comparison trap. Follow Jesus in the way that he has designed you to have an intimate relationship with him. In Psalm 139:24, David asks God to "see if there is any path of pain I'm walking on...." Jesus wants to free you from pain in order that you might follow Hi…

We are in a time where there is a greater fear of what is happening in the world than the fear of the Lord. Jesus delighted in the fear of the Lord, we don't fear anything else. The fear of the Lord is awe, not terror of Him. It turns us away from chaos to His awesomeness. God's goodness is a threat to anything that threatens us. Join us in Mooresv…

Jesus came to his Disciples and said, "Follow Me" They laid down their lives (plans, careers, etc.) in exchange for His. How can we do this today? What does this look like? It's often referred to as living in the "upside down, wrong-side out kingdom." In this message we will explore the depths of the Kingdom of Heaven and it's application to our li…

We often picture Elijah in moments of power. But in 1 Kings 19:1-4, we see a different side of him: tired, afraid, disappointed, and vulnerable. Vulnerability often surfaces after moments of victory, after we've shared our hearts, or after significant failure. During these times, our emotions can be heightened, making us more susceptible to negativ…

When you read the Bible, there is potential for this living book to transform your heart, mind, and perspective. One of the surest ways He does this is through His revealed, written Words in the Scripture.

At Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal and challenged the people, setting the stage for a national revival. It is one of the most epic stories in the Bible. Before the fire fell, Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord. Today, we have an altar. Our altar represents our devotion—our love for God and His love for us. It means our life …

Romans 13:11-14 and Matthew 5:14-16 emphasize the call to live honorably and let our good deeds shine as a testament to our faith. We also see through Jesus' example, how Christ brought light to those in darkness through healing, prophecy, and loving the outcast. We can use those examples to be proactive in our approach to living out our faith, and…

We are all in the process as followers of Jesus of a metamorphosis of sorts. However, at some point we have to get out of the cocoon.

Beginning with Genesis 1, God establishes light's ability to overcome darkness as He declares, "Let there be light." Jumping to John 1, we see that Jesus is the true light of the world, and we are called in Matthew 5 for be a light ourselves, shining in a world filled with darkness. Despite the presence of darkness, light will always prevail. As Ro…

The Father is serious about a "sound mind" and we need to take it seriously in love & grace. This message is being emphasized across the Body of Christ in the U.S. right now to remind us and prepare us. Remember these lyrics from the old hymn: "On Christ in the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand..." How is your foundation? Is it b…

Why is Elijah important for us today? Elijah lived in a time of significant spiritual and societal upheaval, much like our own, marked by widespread idolatry, moral decline, corrupt leadership, and a divided nation. Just as God had an answer in Elijah's time, He has one for today. Elijah's life is a pattern for how God prepares us for the "Elijah A…
