Truth Has An Enemy
by John Scally - Lead Pastor on September 2nd, 2024
Jesus is a polarizing figure in the greatest of ways. You cannot be neutral when it comes to Jesus. The story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is the perfect example. The Bible tells us that after that amazing miracle, some people believed in him as Messiah, and some people went straight to the religious leaders to tell them because they were filled with evil motives. Some followed Jesus; so... Read More
Animosity vs. Adoration (Exclusive Attitude)
by John Scally - Lead Pastor on September 1st, 2024
Everybody has an opinion! We live in a very “opinionated” society which is growing by the minute as social media allows for everyone to “speak their minds.” Sometimes, this is a bad thing; other times, it’s become a vehicle in which to speak the truth to a vast audience. Jesus had a vast audience in his day, and he always took advantage of speaking the truth. As a result, he became a polarizing fi... Read More
The Work Of A Chisel
by Christina Cain - Women's Ministry Director on August 31st, 2024
Let’s begin with a poll. How many of you have experienced trials? Check. Hardships? Check. Sufferings? Check. And after those experiences, how many of you have rejoiced? OUCH. That’s a hard one.

Something Better Is Coming
by Kyle Wendel - Connection Pastor on August 29th, 2024
How bad has it been being a Detroit Lions fan? I have been a huge fan my entire life. I know many of you have been fans much longer than that. In the past 30 years, the Lions never won a Super Bowl, nor had they won a single playoff game. The misery of a Detroit Lions fan has been known throughout the league for some time now. There had been a handful of years that I thought the Lions might actual... Read More
Look At What God Did
by Ross Martello - Youth Pastor on August 28th, 2024
The hardest thing about faith is doing something that doesn’t make sense, knowing it is what God has asked you to do. Moving to Flint was one of those things for me. 12 years ago, Flint was most famously known for being the murder capital of the USA. So, I was getting ready to move my young family from a nice safe life to one that sounded like it had the potential to be extremely dangerous. As a f... Read More
