Jesus is Lord, but what does that mean in our daily lives? In both the Old and New Testaments, "Lord" is a title that signifies authority, ownership, and relationship. Yet, for many, the idea of Jesus as Lord can feel distant—like a ruler behind castle walls rather than a close and present Master. In Matthew 8, the first time Jesus is called Lord in the Gospels, His response is not to stand at a distance but to reach out and touch a man in need.

Join us this week in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade challenges us to assess our lives, and to ask ourselves if we've truly surrendered to our Lord?

Since the days of the Apostles, the Biblical authors have emphasized the soon coming return of Christ. Even the New Testament ends with Jesus' words, "Yes, I am coming soon!" (Revelation 22:20). This begs the question, "How can we prepare?" Jesus tells us in Matthew 25. God is preparing His church for whatever is about to happen next.

God is looing for people who have a heart to hear Him. However, genuinely hearing Him requires us to overcome some obstacles. The world and the devil have never been more relentless in their efforts to distract us and stir up our fleshly desires, making it harder to tune into His voice. While God has given us the ability to hear Him, it's up to us to press beyond our current experiences and pursue a deeper relationship with Him.

Join us in Mooresville as Lead Pastor Byron Wicker encourages us to humble ourselves before God, so that we might hear Him.

Known for its hard work, patient endurance, and bold stance against evil, the church in Ephesus had a lot to celebrate. Yet, in Revelation 2, Jesus calls them out—not for what they did, but for what they lost: their first love. Could they have been distracted by the pleasures, culture, and busyness around them? Could their focus on the "what" have caused them to lose the sight of "why" and "who?"

Join us in Wilmington as Head Pastor Ryan Meade explores Jesus' call to the church of Ephesus to return to their first love.

One of the biggest barriers into fulfilling the law of Jesus (Matthew 22:34-40) is our worldly mind. When operating in our worldly mind, we react as a human would when circumstances are challenging. However, Christ has given us a renewed mind, that we may be transformed and produce the fruit of the Spirit, even in the most challenging of situations.

Join us in Mooresville as guest speaker Jim Hill encourages us to seek the renewal of our mind that we may love as Christ loved us.

The Book of Hebrews is a prophetic Word for our church this year. It's goal, firstly, is to elevate Jesus as superior to everything else, worthy of all our trust and devotion. Secondly, the author of Hebrews seeks to prepare and challenge the readers to remain faithful to Jesus despite hardship and persecution. We have exciting times ahead and challenges we will face. The Holy Spirit gave us Hebrews to prepare us for both.

Join us in Chapel Hill as Head Pastor Matthew Bollinger dives into a new series on the book of Hebrews, and its use in our lives today.
