Freedom sounds simple, but living it out can feel complicated. We all wrestle with thoughts, habits, and choices that pull us in different directions. In this message, Pastor Kevin looks at what real freedom actually means for followers of Jesus—and why it’s more than just being forgiven.

Join us for First Wednesday we we kick off 2026 and 28 Days of Prayer and Fasting.

So many people think following Jesus is mostly about getting forgiven — like God wipes the slate clean and then we just try harder not to mess it up again. But what if the Gospel is actually so much bigger than that? What if Jesus didn’t just come to erase our past… but to change the way we live right now? Today we’re talking about something hidden in the Gospel that many people miss — and it might completely change the way you see your faith.

The Christmas story is filled with familiar moments and unexpected settings. In this message, we’re invited to look again at the places we often overlook and consider how God works powerfully through what seems ordinary. Sometimes the most meaningful transformation begins right where we already are.

Christmas is filled with angels, miracles, and supernatural moments—but tucked inside the story are ordinary people living ordinary lives. This week, Pastor Kevin is going to show us something surprising and encouraging about how God works through the everyday, not just the extraordinary.

Most of our lives, we live in ordinary moments. As we kick of our Christmas series, The God Of The Ordinary, we see that God is the God of the ordinary. During this message, Pastor Kevin Simmons highlights Mary, the mother of Jesus, and how God met her in the ordinary space.

We all have the same 24 hours — but how we use them can shape everything about our relationships, our purpose, and our connection with God. Join us as we explore a surprising angle on generosity that hits closer to home than you might expect.

This week we’re talking about a kind of generosity that goes deeper than money—one that reaches into our attitudes, our choices, and our everyday relationships. God promises real fruit when we trust Him with every part of our lives, and this message explores how obedience opens the door to the peace and joy we’re all searching for. Get ready for a challenging and hope-filled word!
