If you’ve ever said “God, lead me” while quietly hoping He won’t change your plans, this message is for you. We sit with two anchoring Scriptures Acts 20:22–24 and John 10:27 and ask a single, uncomfortable question: can my life actually be led...

Alignment Part 4 - NL
This sermon talks about being equipped as a part of our alignment. One person said it’s been the best in the series so far.
Alignment Part 3 - P
Such a strong sermon talking about aligning with the community. The way I preach this series shows a side I haven’t presented, but it is a good one. This sermon marks the day we started to embrace change.
Alignment Part 3 - NL
This sermon series has not only been challenging, but it has changed the way I preach. This one talks about being aligned with the community.
Positioning- Alignment #2
Moving message with comments like, “ I was filled with joyful tears after this!” Such a dynamic and different feel and style of preaching for me. This also isn’t as clear audio as I stood away from the pulpit to speak. Don’t miss this series!!
