February 9, 2025 | "Celebrating Healing From Addiction” | Pastor Vicki Harrison and Will New
9:30 AM Service
Summary:
In the second week of the God's Healing series, Pastor Vicki Harrison introduces the topic of addiction, sharing key statistics and a biblical perspective on its impact. Addiction is described as both a physical disease and a spiritual affliction, highlighting the importance of God's role in healing. Pastor Vicki emphasizes that while addiction changes the brain's reward systems, it also enslaves individuals spiritually, making it impossible to fully love God and others as commanded in Matthew 22:37-39.
The sermon transitions to a powerful personal testimony from Will New, who shares his journey from addiction to sobriety. Will recounts his struggles with alcohol, how it affected his family, and the pivotal moment when he realized the need for change. He emphasizes that true healing began when he allowed God's light into his life, supported by his family, friends, and church community. Will's story is a testament to God's grace, unconditional love, and the power of accountability in overcoming addiction.

February 2, 2025 | "Celebrating Healing of the Mind” | Pastor Vicki Harrison
God cares about our mental health. He is there to shine light in the darkness.
9:30 AM Service
Summary:
Mental health struggles impact 1 in 4 people, yet many suffer in silence. This week, Pastor Vicki Harrison reminds us that God sees, cares, and walks with us through our darkest valleys. In 1 Kings 19, we see Elijah, a powerful prophet, hit his lowest point—yet God didn’t abandon him. Instead, He met Elijah where he was, cared for him, and gave him what he needed to move forward.
Depression and anxiety are not signs of spiritual weakness. Scripture shows that even the strongest believers wrestled with mental health struggles—including Elijah, David, and Mother Teresa. Healing looks different for everyone, but whether through prayer, support, therapy, or medical help, God provides hope.
No matter what you’re facing, you are not alone. Jesus is present in the darkness, and His grace is enough. Let’s commit to being a church that loves, supports, and stands with those who are struggling.

January 26, 2025 | "Mission Ready: Go Multiply!” | Rev. Roberto Chaple
Are you ready to Go Multiply?
The final step of discipleship is taking what you’ve learned and sharing it boldly with the world. We’ll explore what it means to step into your mission and live out your faith to impact eternity.
9:30 AM Service
Summary:
As we conclude the Mission Ready series, Pastor Roberto challenges us with the final step: Go Multiply.
Knowing Jesus transforms us. Growing faith strengthens us. But neither is complete without multiplication—bringing others to know Him as well.
Isaiah 54:2–3 provides a blueprint for multiplication, calling us to:
Enlarge our mindset—making room for spiritual growth.
Stretch our internal limits—adapting to reach a changing world.
Lengthen our connections—strategically expanding the Kingdom.
Strengthen our faith—rooting everything in God’s Word.
Spread out—becoming a church that prioritizes outreach.
This isn’t just about growing a church—it’s about leaving a legacy of faith. Without multiplication, there is no next generation of believers.
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16–20) isn’t just a command—it’s a partnership with God. Jesus no longer sends us alone; He goes with us.
Key Challenge:
Where is God calling you to step out, make disciples, and multiply?
Next Steps:
Pray for God to enlarge your mindset and stretch your faith.
Look for opportunities to share Jesus with others.
Be intentional about investing in the next generation.
Let’s be a church that moves beyond knowing and growing—let’s go and multiply.

Summary:
