Gathering House

The Rich Young Ruler

Sun, 14 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the thing keeping you from Jesus is not the thing everyone can see, but the thing your heart refuses to release? In this message, Pastor Cody walks through Jesus’ encounter with the rich young ruler and shows us that Jesus does not expose our idols to shame us, but because He loves us too much to let us stay trapped by them. This is a challenging and honest word about sin, surrender, false security, and the kind of salvation only God can make possible. Lean in with an open heart and ask the Holy Spirit, “What is the one thing I am still holding back from Jesus?”

The Weight of Our Thoughts

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the battle you are fighting is not first around you, but inside you? In this sermon, Pastor Aj challenges us to look at the thoughts we rehearse, the accusations we carry, and the agreements we make in the hidden places of our hearts. This is not a message about shame, it is an invitation into freedom, where even our inner life comes under the love and authority of Jesus. If you have been carrying heaviness toward yourself or someone else, this message will help you ask a holy question this week: does this agree with Jesus?

Watch the Drift

Sun, 31 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Summer can be a gift from God, but if we are not paying attention, rest can quietly turn into drift. In this message, Pastor Aj challenges us to step into a changing season with our souls awake, our hearts anchored, and our lives connected to Jesus. This is not about pressure, guilt, or spiritual performance. It is an invitation to remain close to the One who restores, roots, and renews us.

Hearing God

Sun, 17 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

In this message, Pastor Aj teaches from John 16:12–13 and reminds us that the Holy Spirit was never meant to be distant, confusing, or only available through someone else. Just like Israel at Mount Sinai, many of us can become so afraid of hearing God for ourselves that we ask someone else to stand between us and His voice. But Jesus promised that the Spirit of Truth would guide us, speak to us, and lead us into what we could not carry on our own. This message is an encouragement and a challenge to stop living afraid of the voice of God and begin trusting that the Holy Spirit wants to speak to you personally.

Mothers Day - I will Say

Sun, 10 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Words have more power than we realize. In this heartfelt Mother’s Day message, Judy Rice walks through the stories of Daniel, Moses, and generations of people shaped by the words spoken over them. This sermon is a reminder that what we speak can create identity, endure for decades, and declare the truth of God in the middle of impossible situations. If you have ever wrestled with insecurity, fear, disappointment, or wondered if your words really matter, this message will challenge and encourage you to speak life with purpose.

Presence

Sun, 03 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000

There are seasons when life shifts and the question rises quietly in the heart. Where is God now. In this deeply personal message, Pastor Aj walks through the story of Moses and reveals a truth that can change how we see every hard season. When you begin to name the goodness of God, you begin to recognize the presence of God. This message will encourage you, steady your heart, and help you see that God has been closer than you realized.

Renewal

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if renewal is not about starting over but about rediscovering what has been buried under the noise of life. This message walks through the story of King Josiah and shows how revival did not begin with perfection but with hearing truth again. If your faith has felt quiet or distant, this conversation will remind you that God has not moved and your story is not finished. Listen in and let this be the moment where something inside you wakes up again.

Rest

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if rest is not something you earn at the end of exhaustion, but something God has been offering you all along? In this message, we walk through the story of Ruth and discover a deeper kind of rest the ancient Jewish people called menuchah, a settled place that comes when we finally release control. If you have been tired, overwhelmed, or carrying more than you were meant to carry, this message will challenge how you see your life and invite you into a different rhythm. This is not about doing less. It is about trusting more.

Surrender

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the thing exhausting you is not the problem itself but the way you are trying to control it? In Week 1 of our new series Discovery, we walk through the powerful story of Jacob wrestling with God and uncover a truth many of us miss. Surrender is not losing. It is transformation. If you are tired of striving, carrying pressure, or trying to hold everything together on your own, this message will challenge you and encourage you to trust God in a deeper way.

Easter Sunday

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if faith was never about getting everything right, but about discovering God walking with you along the way? In this message, we step onto the road to Emmaus and see a Savior who meets people in their disappointment, listens to their story, and walks beside them step by step. If you have been carrying weight that feels too heavy, this message is an invitation to put it down and start walking with God again. Your story is not over.

And Peter

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like you blew it so badly that God might be done with you? In this message, we look at Peter’s failure, his regret, and the powerful moment when Jesus called his name anyway. This is not a sermon about perfection. It is a sermon about restoration, relationship, and the truth that your story is not over. If you have ever wondered whether there is still a place for you in God’s Kingdom, you need to hear this.

See It To Believe It

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if doubt is not the end of faith, but the doorway to something deeper? In this message, Pastor Aj walks us through the story of Thomas and reveals that honesty with God is not something to be ashamed of, it is often where real relationship begins. If you have ever wrestled with questions, disappointment, or uncertainty about God, this sermon will remind you that Jesus does not run from your doubt. He moves toward it. This is a message that will challenge your assumptions and invite your heart to come closer.

Right In The Middle

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

You ever build a room to protect yourself and then forget there was a door? The disciples did exactly that on the night of the resurrection, locked inside their fear, convinced the story was over. But Jesus did not knock. He walked straight through the wall and the first thing He said was Shalom, nothing broken, nothing missing, everything restored. If you have been hiding behind a locked door, this one is for you.

She Showed Up

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

She showed up when it made no sense, when everyone else had gone home, when there was no theology to hold onto and no reason left to hope. This week at Gathering House, Pastor AJ digs into the story of Mary Magdalene and uncovers something the religious world has gotten wrong for centuries. If you have ever felt like your mess disqualifies you from the story, this one is for you. Come find out why the first person the risen Jesus showed up for was the last person anyone expected.

Pack Up and Go

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if God asked you to pack up everything you had, leave everyone you loved, and go somewhere He refused to tell you about in advance? That is not a hypothetical, that is the story of Abraham and Sarah, and it is more relevant to your life right now than you think. Pastor Ron unpacks what it actually looks like to trust God when you do not know where you are going, how you are going to get there, or when you will arrive, and why that kind of faith is the only thing that moves the heart of God. If you have ever felt stuck, confused, or like God is asking something of you that makes absolutely no sense, this one is for you.

One More

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the mission of God is not unclear but simply unattended? This week, Cody brings a direct and honest message about discipleship and the call to go after one more. If you have ever felt unqualified, distracted, or unsure how to share your faith, this message will both challenge and steady you. The invitation is simple and weighty at the same time. One name. One step. One more.

Authentic Relationship with Him

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the problem isn’t that you don’t know enough about Jesus… but that you’ve never truly known Him? In this message, we explore the difference between religious familiarity and authentic relationship, walking through the woman at the well and the ache in Jesus’ voice when He says, “Do you know Me?” If you’ve been carrying the jar of performance, routine, or spiritual image, this is your invitation to put it down. This is not about trying harder. It’s about finally being known.

Purpose over Perfection

Sun, 08 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if the thing holding you back from purpose isn’t your weakness but your belief that you need to be finished first? In this message, Pastor Aj walks through the calling of Levi and exposes the quiet misbelief that perfection is the gatekeeper of obedience. This is an encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, delayed, or not ready yet. Purpose doesn’t begin when you’re perfect. It begins when you’re willing.

Encounters Over Entertainment

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 10:00:00 +0000

What if church was never meant to impress you but to interrupt you. In this message, Pastor Aj unpacks the difference between watching Jesus and truly encountering Him. Through the story of the paralyzed man lowered through the roof, we are invited to examine our hunger, our expectations, and what we actually want from God. This is an encouragement and a challenge to move beyond attendance and into transformation.

Relationship over Religion

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

This message is for anyone who feels open to God but knows there has to be more. Pastor Aj invites us to look at the difference between wanting God and being hungry for Him through the story of Zacchaeus. Religion teaches us how to sit and wait but relationship awakens a hunger that moves us to climb, pursue, and respond. This sermon will challenge you to let hunger return and discover that Jesus still stops for those who reach for Him.

Presence Over Performance

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

This message is a gentle but necessary interruption to the way many of us have learned to do faith. If you have ever felt tired, pressured, or quietly empty even while doing all the right things, this conversation is for you. Pastor Aj invites us to rediscover a faith rooted in presence, not performance, and reminds us that Jesus never asked to be attended, only followed. This is a call back to the posture that leads to real overflow, real formation, and a life that is truly more than Sunday.

Worship Sunday 2026

Sun, 11 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Communion and Prayer 2026

Sun, 04 Jan 2026 10:00:00 +0000

Why do we really come to the table? Communion is not a ritual for people who have it all together but an invitation for those still learning how to trust God. In this message, Pastor Aj reframes the table as a place of belonging, relationship, and grace where misbelief is met with faithfulness. If you have ever wondered whether you are worthy to sit with Jesus, this conversation is for you.

Not Done with You

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There is a quiet fear many of us carry but rarely name. The fear that we waited too long, went too far, or missed our moment with God. In this message, Pastor Aj unpacks the lie that it is too late and reveals the truth that God never abandons unfinished work. If you have ever wondered whether God is still working in your story, this message will stir hope, restore courage, and invite you to take your next step again.

Not Selective

Sun, 14 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Have you ever felt like God shows up for everyone else but somehow skips over you? In this message, Pastor Aj walks us through the Christmas story and reveals a truth many of us have missed. God has never been selective and Christmas proves it. If you have ever felt overlooked, unqualified, or unsure where you belong with God, this message is an invitation to see yourself in the story again.

God Is Not Angry

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week at Gathering House we confronted a lie many of us have carried for years, often in silence, that God is angry with us. But when you look at Jesus, you find a Father who moves toward the broken, sits at tables with the rejected, and restores what shame tried to bury. This message invites you to unlearn the misbelief that has kept you distant and to discover the God who has never turned His face away. If you have ever wondered what God is really like, this one will breathe again into your soul.

Not Distant

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week at Gathering House, Pastor Aj steps straight into the ache most of us try to hide: the distance we feel between us and God. But what if that distance isn’t truth… just a story pain told us? In this message, Aj walks us through the ancient meaning of presence, the gift of a God who pitches His tent among us, and the stunning reality that the “empty spaces” in our lives may actually be where God is waiting to be found.

If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the silence, this is the message you need to hear. Let it challenge you. Let it steady you. Let it draw you close.

Proximity

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week Pastor Aj takes us into the parable of the wise and foolish builders, showing us that storms don’t expose who we want to be but where we chose to build. It’s a message about proximity, not performance, and how walking closely with Jesus is the only way to build a life that can stand when pressure hits. If you’ve ever felt the crash of a “quick and easy” foundation, this teaching will challenge you, steady you, and pull you closer to the Rock who holds. Lean in… this one might shift the ground you’re standing on.

Gathering House Online Re-stream - Baptism & Communion

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Baptisms & Communion Sunday

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This weekend at Gathering House we step into a holy collision of baptism, communion, and encounter, remembering that Jesus did not invite us into dry religion but into a living covenant that overflows. Pastor Aj walks us through the story behind the water and the cup, calling out the misbelief that we have to fix ourselves before we come, and revealing a God who has already made the first move. If you have ever wondered what baptism really means, or struggled to believe you are truly wanted by God, this weekend will meet you in that tension. Listen in and let the Spirit nudge you from observing faith to entering it.

Special Guests - Bethel Ministry Team 2025

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week at Gathering House, we were honored to welcome special guest Tracy Rice and his ministry team from Bethel Church in Redding, California. In a service marked by deep worship, prophetic encouragement, and a fresh sense of God’s nearness, Tracy shared stories of God’s faithfulness and invited us into a greater expectation of His presence in our everyday lives.

In the Overflow

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This weekend we celebrated three years of God’s faithfulness, and caught a glimpse of what’s coming next. In this message, Pastor Aj invites us to move beyond “just enough” faith and step into the kind of presence that changes everything. It’s not about being filled; it’s about being flooded. If you’ve been dry, tired, or ready for renewal, this message will challenge you to let God pour again, to wash away the old, awaken what’s been buried, and live drenched in His Spirit.

Hold Fast

Sun, 26 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When the world feels heavy and faith feels fragile, what does it really mean to hold fast? In this powerful closing message to the Dear Church series, Pastor Aj reminds us that faith isn’t about holding it all together, it’s about holding on when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Hebrews calls us not to perfection, but too endurance, because the One who called us is faithful. This isn’t a message for the perfect, it’s for the weary, the doubting, the ones still standing in the storm.

Forgiveness

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week, Pastor Aj takes us deep into one of the shortest, yet most powerful letters in Scripture, Philemon. In a message that’s raw, honest, and deeply personal, we explore the space between offense and grace… between slave and brother. This is a call to release the chains we’ve been holding, to forgive when it costs us something, and to let the Gospel redefine what was broken. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive, or to be forgiven, this is the message your soul has been waiting for.

Guard the Gospel

Sun, 12 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

When faith starts to flicker, what do we do with the baton in our hands. In this message, Pastor Aj takes us into the letters to Timothy and Titus and shows how guarding the Gospel is not about clutching rules but carrying the love and truth of Jesus into real life. If you have inherited a faith that feels heavy or hollow, this is your moment to trade performance for surrender and let God reignite the fire. Listen in and let the Spirit move you from comfort to calling.

Until He Comes

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this week’s message from the Dear Church series, Pastor Aj unpacks Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians, a young church wrestling with confusion, grief, and waiting. Through their story, we’re reminded that waiting isn’t wasted; it’s stewardship. This message calls us to live with faith that stands firm in hardship, hope that anchors in uncertainty, holiness that marks our waiting, and strength that endures to the end. The King has come once, and He’s coming again. The question is, what will He find us doing when He does?

Truth That Transforms

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We’ve all believed lies that shaped the way we live—lies about who we are, about this world, or even about God. In this sermon, Pastor Aj reminds us that the Gospel isn’t about escaping earth but about embodying Christ in the here and now. Jesus is not distant, but present—in flesh, in love, in every ordinary moment of our lives. This is a message that will challenge you to see your faith not as an exit plan but as a way of living Kingdom now. Don’t miss this one—it just might shift how you see your life this week.

Philippians

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Joy is more than a fleeting emotion—it’s a spiritual reality rooted in Christ. In this message, Pastor Ron Rice unpacks what Scripture says about the supernatural source, sustaining strength, and servant-hearted purpose of true joy. Drawing from passages like John 15:11, Nehemiah 8:10, and Philippians 4:4, Pastor Ron reminds us that joy flows directly from Jesus, stands firm even in the face of trials, and overflows into how we serve and love others. While the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10; 1 Peter 5:8), Christ calls us into a life of fullness where joy is both our strength and our song.

This episode encourages believers to not just seek happiness in circumstances, but to embrace the joy that remains unshaken—a joy that fuels endurance, empowers service, and testifies to the goodness of God.

Family

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Belonging isn’t something you earn, it’s something you receive. In Ephesians, Paul tells the church that the Gospel is more than rules or rituals; it’s family papers stamped and sealed. Outsiders become insiders, walls fall, and a new humanity is born. In this week’s message, Pastor Aj shows us how the Spirit marks us with belonging, how the cross tears down our divisions, and how living as family means countering the culture of self with the love of Christ.

Strength in Weakness

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In a world obsessed with looking polished, Paul writes his most personal letter, 2 Corinthians. Scarred, battered, unimpressive by Corinth’s standards, Paul points to weakness as the very place God’s power shines brightest. In this message, Pastor Aj walks us through Paul’s raw honesty about suffering, scars, and surrender. From jars of clay to thorns in the flesh, we discover that grace isn’t God’s backup plan, it’s His whole strategy. What we see as disqualifying, God uses as the stage for His glory.

Broken Body

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Corinth was messy, magnetic, and divided. In a city famous for its pleasure and power, the church was tearing itself apart with factions, lawsuits, immorality, and pride. Paul writes not to shame them but to call them back — back to one table, one temple, one body. In this week’s message, Pastor Aj reminds us that the cure for a broken body isn’t more gifts or more noise — it’s love. Love that unites. Love that lays down rights. Love that rebuilds the body of Christ into a living temple for His Spirit.

No Condemnation

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Romans 6–8 isn’t abstract theology, it’s the heartbeat of the Gospel. In this week’s message, Pastor Aj takes us into Paul’s masterpiece and shows us the war we all feel within, the freedom we’ve been given in Christ, and the unshakable promise that there is now no condemnation. Through vivid imagery, personal stories, and the hope of adoption into God’s family, this message will stir you to lay down shame and walk in Spirit-led freedom.

Foundation

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Rome was the heartbeat of the empire politics, wealth, and power all colliding in one place. And yet, the church Paul wrote to wasn’t just diverse, it was divided. In this week’s message, Pastor Aj takes us deep into Romans, reminding us that the Gospel is the only foundation strong enough to hold us together. No one’s better. All fall short. But in Christ, all are justified. This is good news that levels the ground, pulls out more chairs, and frees us to live like our debt is paid in full.

Walking in the Spirit

Sun, 10 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Freedom in Christ isn’t just about being rescued from sin — it’s about learning how to live every day in step with the Spirit. In this week’s message, Pastor Aj reminds us that going back to the chains we’ve been freed from isn’t just a loss for us — it tells the world the cross wasn’t enough. Through powerful visuals, honest stories, and Paul’s words to the Galatians, we’ll see that freedom is not for selfish gain but for radical love, real fruit, and Spirit-filled living.

Freedom of the Gospel

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Gathering House kicks off our Dear Church series with a letter straight from Paul’s heart in Galatians. This message cuts through the noise of checklists, expectations, and cultural pressure to remind us: the Gospel isn’t about proving yourself — it’s about belonging. Pastor Aj unpacks what it means to live free, take your seat at the table, and show the world a faith that breaks chains instead of building fences. If you’ve ever wondered if you really belong, this is the sermon you can’t miss.

Selah Sunday Communion

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This is the Moment

Sun, 20 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This one will hit your heart and light a fire in your soul. In the final message of our Kingdom of Heaven series, Pastor Aj challenges us to stop admiring the Kingdom and start advancing it. From seeds in the soil to nets in the water, Jesus has been inviting us not just to understand—but to act. This is the moment we stop waiting and start moving. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure, or unqualified—this message will remind you that Heaven is waiting on you.

Nets

Sun, 13 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this powerful look at the final parable in the Kingdom parable series, Pastor Aj brings a raw and revealing look at the Parable of the Net in Matthew 13. With prophetic clarity, humor, and a handful of sticky notes, he challenges us to stop labeling and start casting. This message isn’t about judgment — it’s about humility, inclusion, and obedience. If you’ve ever wondered who belongs in the Kingdom... you might want to check what’s in your hand. Listen now and get ready to drop the net.

Pearls

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Sometimes the most valuable things in life don’t come wrapped in glitter—they’re buried in dirt. In this powerful message, Pastor Aj unpacks two short parables that hold massive weight: a hidden treasure and a pearl of great price. Whether you’ve stumbled upon the Kingdom or searched for it your whole life, this teaching will challenge you to ask: what is it worth to you? Don’t miss this call to surrender, rediscover value, and live like the Kingdom is everything.

Into the Pit

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Weeds

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This week at Gathering House, Pastor Aj brings a challenging and freeing word from one of Jesus’ most misunderstood parables—the field with both wheat and weeds. If you’ve ever felt discouraged because you’re doing everything “right” and still facing resistance, this message is for you. What if the weeds in your life aren’t there to ruin you—but to grow you? This one will reframe how you think about Kingdom living in a messy world. Take a breath… and let it grow.

Grappling With God

Sun, 29 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Small Things

Sun, 22 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if the Kingdom of Heaven isn’t something we’re waiting for… but something waiting to break out through us? In this message, Pastor Aj takes us deep into two of Jesus’ shortest—and most shocking—parables. With mustard seeds, yeast, and sixty pounds of flour, Jesus unveils a Kingdom that starts small, spreads quietly, and includes the people we’d never expect. This isn’t a story to admire. It’s a Kingdom to carry. So… will you plant it? Will you knead it? Will you bring it?

Soil

Mon, 16 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

There’s a difference between being surrounded by the Word and being transformed by it. In this message, Pastor AJ opens the parable of the sower in a way that’s raw, layered, and personal. It’s not just about what was sown—it’s about what’s growing inside of you. This isn't just a story about seed and soil; it’s about your heart, your hunger, and how the Kingdom of Heaven is ready to break in through your life. Don’t just listen—dig.

What If We Saw Them

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We pray like our kids are going to change the world—but what if we started looking at everyone that way? In this powerful message, Pastor Aj challenges us to raise up the next generation not just for survival, but for significance—and then flips the mirror back on us to see our neighbors, coworkers, and family members with that same holy wonder. This is a wake-up call to stop writing people off and start calling them up. If you’ve ever asked “What can God do with me?”—you need to hear this.

Gifts - Tongues and the Spirit

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

This one’s not about hype—it’s about hunger. In a world filled with confusion and controversy about the gift of tongues, Pastor Aj peels back the layers to reveal the truth behind the mystery. What if tongues was never meant to be about speaking at all—but about receiving from a God who wants to fill you, strengthen you, and speak for you when words fail? This message is a game-changer for anyone hungry for more of the Spirit.

Here I Am

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Gifts - Healing and Miracles

Sun, 25 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if healing and miracles weren’t just biblical stories—but today’s blueprint? In this week’s message, Pastor Aj dives into the distinct power of healing and miracles—not just what they are, but why they’re still meant to flow through you. This isn’t about hype or spiritual celebrity—it’s about Heaven’s power showing up in ordinary people who say “yes.” If you’ve ever felt like God has more for you, this episode is your invitation to step out, speak up, and activate what’s already inside you.

Letting Go

Sun, 18 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Stay Open

Sun, 11 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if God has more for you than you’ve ever seen? In this kickoff to our Gifts of the Spirit series, Pastor Aj takes us back to that wild, unpolished Upper Room moment—wind, fire, power—and challenges us to rethink what the Holy Spirit is really about. The gifts aren’t weird, optional, or outdated. They’re the way heaven equips ordinary people for supernatural impact. This isn’t just theology to believe—it’s a Spirit to encounter. Stay open.

Objects in Mirror

Sun, 04 May 2025 10:00:00 +0000

Restoring Church - Week 7

Sun, 02 Mar 2025 10:00:00 +0000

What if the church was never meant to be a place, but a movement? In this powerful and challenging message, Pastor Aj closes out our journey through Acts by asking a bold question—are we truly being the church God restored, or are we just gathering in comfort?

This isn’t just another sermon—it’s an invitation to step into the mission of Acts and live out the restoration God is bringing to His church.

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We love to celebrate Paul, the apostle, the world-changer. But have you ever stopped to think about how people saw him before his calling? A murderer. A persecutor. The least likely candidate for God’s work. And yet, God chose him. If Paul—Saul, the enemy of the church—could be transformed, then who are we to decide who’s worthy of God’s call today? What if the very people we doubt are the ones God is calling next? In this powerful message, Pastor Aj challenges us to rethink how we see those around us—and maybe even how we see ourselves. Don’t miss this one. It just might change everything.
