John Swadley | Acts 4:31-35

This week’s message flips our idea of “church” upside down. From Ephesians 2:19-20, we’re reminded that church isn’t a building, a program, or a religious chore. It’s the household of God — a family built on the foundation of the apostles with Jesus as the cornerstone. Christianity was never designed to be a solo project; it’s a team sport where we actually belong to one another. The New Testament gives us over 30 commands we can’t obey alone, which means walking away from church because of hurt is like swearing off all food because one restaurant served you something nasty. We’re not foreigners or outsiders anymore. We’re fellow citizens in God’s kingdom, welcomed into His home and His people.

Jesus takes what we do for His family personally, and Matthew 25:40 makes that unmistakable: whatever we do for the least of His brothers and sisters, we do for Him. This message calls us back to the heart of a healthy church family — one marked by gladness in gathering, growth both spiritually and numerically, and grace that never runs dry. None of us deserve to be here, yet every one of us is invited in.

John Swadley | Ephesians 2:19-20

What if we’ve been seeing church through the wrong lens? This message from Ephesians 2:19–20 flips the script—reminding us that the church isn’t an institution, it’s a family. We’re not just attendees or spectators; we’re brothers and sisters, citizens of God’s household, built on Christ as our cornerstone. When we treat faith like a solo mission, we miss the point—because Christianity was never meant to be done alone. Even when church gets messy or hard, we’re called to stay rooted in community, offering gladness, growth, and grace. Because in the end, what we do for the church, we do for Christ Himself.

Jason Taylor | Romans 12:1-2

What if worship isn’t something we do—but the way we live? This message from Romans 12:1-2 flips the script on our Sunday routines, calling us to worship God with every part of our lives. We were made to worship, yet sin keeps pushing us to idolize everything else—our comfort, our careers, even good things like family or ministry. True worship means surrendering it all, letting Jesus be not just first on our list but the entire list. When we die to self and live in awe of a holy God, our daily lives become altars—and our Sunday worship becomes an overflow of His power and presence.
