In this week’s episode Paster Francis Chan shows us how abiding in His Word has the power to change how we see the world and our role within i...

In this week's episode, Pastor Francis Chan challenges the Church to not settle for an unsatisfying imitation of the real thing, but rather to pursue unity and Christ's visio...

He explains how we desperately need the Church body to come together f...

For the early church, communion was the main reason to gather. Pastor Francis Chan speaks on the importance and the power that takes place when we partake in the Lord’s supper.
