Are you truly surrendered—or just going through the motions?

In this message, Pastor Leonce unpacks the difference between genuine faith and transactional belief, using the tragic story of a gifted evangelist and the account of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8. While many profess faith, serve in church, and even exhibit spiritual passion, true transformation only happens when belief leads to full surrender.

If you’ve ever struggled with control, performance-based faith, or wondered what it really means to surrender your life to Christ, this message is for you.

Have you ever felt like the world is falling apart and God is silent? In this powerful message, Pastor Matt walks through the story of Stephen in Acts to remind us that even when life feels hopeless, God is still moving — and His plan is unstoppable.

Through rejection, suffering, and even death, God’s glory breaks through. What looked like an ending for Stephen was actually the spark of something greater. This message will help you see that God is not limited by circumstances, and He can use your lowest moments to lead you into unstoppable purpose.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, discouraged, or unsure of where God is, this is your invitation to surrender, step into community, and join what God is doing — right here, right now.

Are you living up to your God-given potential—or settling for comfort? In this Sunday's message, Pastor Doug unpacks James 1:2-4 and challenges us to rethink how we approach trials. True growth doesn’t come from ease, but through perseverance.
