    The Bigger Story
    Jul 6 2025

    John Swadley | Genesis 50:20


    In this kickoff message of Divine Disruptions, we explore how God often interrupts our plans not to harm us—but to work something greater. Pastor John dives into the life of Joseph, who went from favored son to slave to prisoner, only to be elevated to second-in-command in Egypt. The twist? What others meant for evil, God meant for good.


    Like Joseph, we face real struggles, but God is working behind the scenes—often long before we know we need help. Whether you’re in a pit or just waiting for purpose, trust the bigger story. God’s not done yet.

    The Core Idea
    Jun 29 2025

    John Swadley | 1 John 2:1-2


    What’s the core idea of the Bible? In this powerful message, Pastor John takes us to the heart of the gospel: substitutionary atonement.


    We all understand justice—when something is broken, it must be paid for. But the beauty of the Christian faith is that Jesus paid the debt we owed. He didn’t wait for us to climb our way up to God. He came down to us. He took our place.


    The gospel isn’t about “do,” it’s about “done.” Because of Jesus, you don’t have to run from God. You can run to Him. That’s the core idea.
