God made us perfectly and with love—but sin left us unable to please Him. Just like a cake ruined by poison can’t simply be fixed, our lives can’t just be edited or improved. Through Jesus, we are given a brand-new start—a spiritual rebirth where His Spirit rules over every part of us.

In this kickoff message of our new series, "You Must Be Born Again", Pastor Alvin III teaches us why Jesus said we must be born again and what that truly means for our lives. This message lays the foundation for the life God intended: not just knowing Jesus as Savior, but surrendering to Him as Lord. Scripture references:

• John 3:1–8
• Hebrews 11:6

We were created to make a difference. It’s how the Church is strengthened, how lives are transformed, and how the Gospel advances in the world. In this message, Pastor Alvin unpacks what it means to do the work of the ministry—not just hearing the Word, but living it out. Serving alongside others creates what he calls healthy friction—the sharpening, transforming, and energizing that happens when we follow Jesus together. Through Next Steps and the power of the Holy Spirit, we discover that making a difference starts in God’s house and overflows into every part of our lives. Step into the work God has called you to and see how He can use you to impact others.

Scripture references:

• Ephesians 4:11–13
• 1 Corinthians 14:39–40

In this message, Pastor Alvin shares how discovering your God-given gifts leads to a vision bigger than yourself. The Church isn’t a restaurant where we only come to be fed—it’s a culinary school where God raises up chefs. You’re not just called to hear the Word, but to do the Word and make a difference. Through Next Steps and the power of the Holy Spirit, we discover our purpose and step into God’s plan to serve, lead, and impact others. Would you consider stepping into your purpose today?
