God never intended for us to follow Jesus alone. We were built to belong. In Acts 2, the early believers didn’t simply attend church together, they shared life together. They learned, prayed, ate, celebrated, gave, and cared for one another. This kind of community takes more than being in the same room; it requires us to be known and committed to one another. God uses community to help us grow,…

In this message, Pastor David McQueen explores the transition in the book of Ephesians from understanding the grace of the gospel to the practical call for believers to "grow up" and mature in their faith. While the commands found in scripture are rooted in God’s love and designed for our ultimate good, many people struggle with "big butts"—the various excuses involving time, fear, or personal…
True spiritual strength is contrasted with "ego lifting," which is the hollow pursuit of appearing strong to others without putting in the necessary inner work,.

He highlights three areas…

Having been redeemed and adopted into His…
