Move - The Gospel in Motion: Week 5 (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

Text: Acts 4:32–5:11; Exodus 36; Leviticus 25; Isaiah 55; John 17 Title: “What Can Stop a Move of God?” When revival moves, it’s not just the world that notices—hell notices too. In this message, we explore how Spirit-filled community can be corrupted from within through pride, hypocrisy, and false appearances. We look at the radical generosity of the early church and contrast it with the deception of Ananias and Sapphira. Along the way, we trace God’s vision for generosity from Eden to the cros...

The Big Reach: Serve Day 2025 (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

This week, Pastor Kevin brings a powerful message from Luke 15:1–10 that places Serve Day in the larger rhythm of our year of Gospel Hospitality. We’re reminded that hospitality isn’t a personality trait—it’s a Gospel command. As we prepare to step outside our red doors, this sermon calls us to join the search party with Jesus, who welcomes the lost and rejoices when they are found. Through stories, scripture, and challenge, we’re invited to serve with strategy, love with intention, and remember...

Move - The Gospel in Motion: Week 4 (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

Texts: Acts 4:18–31; Psalm 2; Isaiah 55; This week, we find Peter and John under pressure—commanded by powerful authorities to stop speaking the name of Jesus. But instead of shrinking back, they say: “We cannot help but speak.” What gives ordinary people that kind of courage? In this message, we explore how Spirit-filled boldness isn’t about hype or personality—it’s about a life aligned with heaven. As the early church prays, the room shakes, and the Spirit fills them again. If you’ve ever face...

Move - The Gospel in Motion: Week 3 (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

Texts: Acts 3:1–10, Acts 4:13, Isaiah 36:6 In Week 3 of our MOVE series, Pastor Kevin preaches from Acts 3:1–10, where Peter and John encounter a man stuck at the temple gate—paralyzed, overlooked, and surviving but not truly living. This message reminds us that the Gospel doesn’t begin with a sermon or a platform. It begins with a look. A reach. A movement toward brokenness. God still moves through ordinary people who choose Spirit-led obedience—who refuse to walk past pain and instead bring th...

Texts: Acts 2:14–41; Joel 2:28–32; Psalm 16; Romans 10:13 This week, we follow Peter—the same man who once denied Jesus—now standing with boldness and clarity, proclaiming the Gospel to thousands. What changed? The Holy Spirit moved in, and Peter moved forward. In this message, we explore how Spirit-filled speech isn’t about eloquence—it’s about obedience. We see how God gives us words that cut through confusion, call people to repentance, and carry the hope of salvation. If you've ever felt unq...

Good Enough? (Pastor Jacinta Mullins)

Are you settling for patched-up peace when Jesus is offering you something brand new? In this powerful and honest message, “Good Enough?” Pastor Jacinta Mullins unpacks Jesus’ parable of the wineskins in Luke 5:36–39 and challenges us to let go of what’s merely “sufficient” so we can step into what is truly transformative . Sometimes we cling to old comforts, worn routines, and duct-taped solutions, calling them “good enough.” But Jesus didn’t come to repair our brokenness—He came to make us new...

Worship As Rebellion (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

What if worship isn’t just praise—it’s protest? In this message titled “Worship as Rebellion,” Pastor Kevin explores how true worship challenges the status quo of the world, confronts spiritual complacency, and declares allegiance to a greater Kingdom.

Drawing from scriptures like Luke 19:10 , Luke 15 , Psalm 122:1 , Proverbs 27:17 ,...

Whose Money Is It, Anyway? (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

This week, Pastor Kevin unpacks one of the most uncomfortable but necessary questions: What would happen if Jesus sat down with you for a budget meeting?

This message is real, honest, a little funny (hello, budget meetings with Jacinta 😬), and packed with perspective-shifting truth. Whether you’re living paycheck to paycheck or feel pretty solid ...

Two Trees, Two Trusts: Where Are Your Roots? (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

When life shakes us, where do our roots dig in? In this message, Pastor Kevin invites us to explore Jeremiah 17:5–8 and the story of the twelve spies from Numbers 13–14. Are we building our lives on self-reliance—or are we anchored in the faithful promises of God? Discover how trusting in sight leads to fear, but trusting in the Lord leads to flourishing.

Palm Sunday: A King Worth Following (Pastor Kevin Mullins)

On Palm Sunday 2025, Pastor Kevin shares a powerful message from Mark 11 titled A King Worth Following . As the crowd welcomes Jesus with palm branches and shouts of “Hosanna,” their expectations clash with the kind of King He truly is. Through the lens of Joseph’s story and the emotional tension of Holy Week, this sermon invites us to examine what kind of King we really want—and challenges us to follow Jesus, not just when the crowd cheers, but when the path leads through surrender....

Make Room For Newness (Deborah Taylor)
