Are you growing with God or just asking Him to grow you? In Part 1 of this powerful new series, Pastor Daniel Stevens challenges us to rethink what friendship with God really looks like. Using Philippians 3:10-11 and key passages from Malachi, he shows that growing with God means becoming more Christlike, prioritizing God’s interests over our own, and treating others with the same love and respect we’d show Him.

True friendship with God requires action—offering our best, not our leftovers, and walking in humility. When we align our hearts with God’s, we begin to thrive in every area of life. Get ready for spiritual growth that’s real, personal, and transformative.

In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message, Pastor Mike Stevens opens our eyes to the unseen war being fought over our identity, security, and emotions. Drawing from 2 Corinthians, Luke, Matthew, and 2 Chronicles, he reminds us that spiritual warfare is real, but God has equipped us with divine weapons — prayer, Scripture, and community.

Through stories like the Apostle Paul’s struggles and the temptations Jesus faced in the wilderness, we learn that even heroes of the faith wrestled with insecurity and emotional weight. But we also discover how to respond: by listening to God's voice over the enemy’s lies, standing on God’s Word, and leaning on our brothers and sisters in Christ. Now is the time to rise, pray bold prayers, and fight the good fight — not in fear, but in faith.
