This week, we take another step toward our 2024 Thanksgiving Offering: Unstoppable Compassion. Through 2 Corinthians 4:7-16, we see the agony and ecstasy of Kingdom compassion. Despite the challenges, God’s grace is reaching further, touching more and more, and overflowing in thanksgiving to the glory of God.

James highlights some key stories from this past year, revealing how God’s grace and resurrection power have gone before us, touching both neighborhoods and nations.

Even when we feel hard-pressed or tempted to lose heart, we are called to give our hearts once again—to dig deeper and reach further as we join in God’s unstoppable work of compassion.

This week, we take a step toward our Thanksgiving Offering for 2024: Unstoppable Compassion.

We recognize that choosing compassion is not always easy—it can be demanding, stretching, and costly. Yet, compassion is a courageous choice.

In Genesis 26, despite facing opposition, Isaac redigs the well, going the extra mile to provide a vital resource for the community.

In the same way, our persistent and unwavering commitment to compassion—both as individuals and as a church—will enable us to bring lasting transformation to communities and nations. Compassion is unstoppable.

This morning, Alan leads us in an extended time of communion as we journey through 1 Corinthians 11:23-34.

We are reminded that Communion is more than just a moment in a service or a church tradition. It is a covenant meal, and we are invited to embrace the fullness of this experience—not only in relationship and intimacy but also in identity with Jesus Christ. We are in Him, and He is in us.

This week, Alan continues to explore the life of Josiah through 2 Chronicles 34. In this passage, we see a prophetic prototype for our time—a generation called to rise with conviction, clarity, and covenant. A generation rising with holy fervor to “burn the bones.”

God is raising up reformers in the midst of darkness, those who are willing to tear down idols, purify worship, and prioritize God’s presence over platforms. This is the day of purifying, holiness, and deep devotion—not founded in anger, but in holy anguish and a longing for God’s presence.

This week, Alan shares a message on the Rising Generation. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 34 and the story of King Josiah, we explore renewal, reverence, and radical devotion.

Discover how God is raising up a new generation, driven by conviction and intimate authority, to bring about reformation and transformation in our world today.

Through Numbers 23:19-24, Alan invites us to experience a fresh anointing. We are reminded again that what God’s promise is unfailing.

For too long Church has far too tame in the things of the Spirit. Constantly playing it safe, constantly led by the thoughts of Man, by the ways of Man, by the deeds of Man, by the politics of Man, by the fear of man.

God is releasing a generation of people who walk in the fear of the Lord and live in the power of the Holy Spirit where the shout of the King is among them and the anointing of the wild ox is upon them.

Joel shares with us today on how Cornelius’s encounter with God in Acts 10 resulted in the lives of millions being given access to the gospel.

 What if we had the same kingdom expectation as we approach the living God in our everyday?

We're so excited to welcome Andy Byrd this week. Andy and his wife Holly are committed to community, Christ-centered living, revival, and cultural reformation.
