It's important we celebrate Christmas for the right reasons and not by the worlds standard.

The Acts 2 Church
June 09, 2023 01:13 - 49 minutes - 40.6 MBThis week, Pastor Leroy discusses his recent trip to Brazil to help build a church with one of our ministry partners.

House Of Cards | Righteousness Is Relational
May 22, 2023 21:21 - 44 minutes - 36.7 MBIn week 4 of our series House Of Cards, we hear from Pastor Trip about another characteristic of the Christian faith. We look at the idea of righteousness and that the world is looking at us as Christians and the way we carry ourselves. One of the things we always miss as Christians is that righteousness is always relational. Our righteousness comes from our relationship with Jesus and doesn't stem from our own right works or what we might think makes us righteous.
House Of Cards | The King's Authority
May 01, 2023 10:00 - 45 minutes - 38.5 MBAs Christians, we believe that the Bible is God's divine word and has all authority over our lives. We believe that it is inerrant and God-breathed. At least, we say we believe those things about the Bible. But, do we actually live our lives like those things are true? Do we live under the authority of scripture? In today's message, Pastor Leroy challenges you to think about such things. We pray this message reminds you of the authority and power of God's word.
House Of Cards | We Are Family
April 28, 2023 01:59 - 47 minutes - 43.7 MBThis week we continue our series House of Cards. This week Pastor Trip is discussing the topic of Unity as it concerns the church.

Essentially the title of the message gives away the main point. We are a work in progress to look more and more like Jesus, also know as sanctification. Each day we are being transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. It happens by surrending ourselves and our will to the Father and allowing him to transform us to be more like his son. We ho...
I Believe | What Grace Accomplishes
April 16, 2023 14:16 - 41 minutes - 35.1 MBThis week we continue our annual "I Believe" series. We are still in the book of Romans and Pastor Trip is helping us understand what Grace actually accomplishes. We are redeemed and sin no longer has control over us. We are still sinners in a fallen world and we will be until Christ returns. But, while on earth we can have victory over sin if we choose Christ daily and submit ourselves to Him. We hope and pray that this message strengthens your relationship with Christ.

August 16, 2022 01:42 - 39 minutes - 32.7 MBIn part two of our newest series, we look at the 4th gospel, the book of John.

And even more important, we should invite others to see Jesus in our lives. And we continually pray for others to see Jesus and to trust them in their own lives. For Jesus is the hope of the world. We hope and pray that God use...
That's What It's All About | You Put Your Whole Self In
August 08, 2022 10:00 - 48 minutes - 39.6 MBToday we are kicking off a brand new series about what the Church is all about. "The Church is the hope of the World." Many of us wholeheartedly believe in that statement, but for others, that statement doesn't ring so true. We won't dive too deep into that this first week, but rather we look back as to why was the Church gathering in the first place. And we turn to the book of Acts to answer that question. We hope and pray that God would use this message for His purpose in your life.
