In the kickoff to our new series, The Invitation, Pastor Alvin dives into Isaiah 55 to explore the profound offer God extends to every believer. We often want the blessing of abundance without the discomfort of change, but true spiritual fullness always begins with a moment of radical honesty.

Before we can receive what God has prepared, He lovingly confronts us with a difficult truth: our current life isn't as good as it could be. This message challenges us to trade the familiar for the extraordinary—humbly letting go of a comfortable lifestyle to lay hold of the eternal, abundant life God has waiting for us.

Scripture References:

• Isaiah 55:2-13
• Matthew 9:12
• Luke 17:32

In Part 3 of The Merge, Pastor Alvin teaches that salvation is more than forgiveness—it’s a trade. We lay down our life and receive His. And with His life comes His mission, His obedience, and His heart for people. To live the life of Christ is to desire what the Father desires: that none should perish and all would come to repentance. And through seven simple steps, we learn how to share that life with others.

In Part 1 of our brand-new series, The Merge, Pastor Alvin challenges the common view of salvation as merely escaping punishment. Instead, he invites us to see it as something far more profound: a total, transformative merging of your life with Christ.

This is the radical choice to surrender everything and live fully as a "living sacrifice." Following Jesus isn't a casual commitment; it requires us to count the cost and confidently believe that His will is infinitely greater than any comfort or desire we might have to give up.

Discover why Jesus’ invitation to follow him is never without commitment—and why those "strings attached" are actually the foundation of the most abundant, good news you'll ever receive.

Scripture references:

• Hebrews 12:2
• Romans 12:1-2
• John 15:6
• Luke 14:25-33

Pastor Alvin III kicks off our new series with a powerful challenge: Is salvation just about being saved from something, or is it about being joined to Someone? True salvation is the merging of your life with Christ. This isn't passive—it's the choice to surrender all and live as a living sacrifice. Discover why following Jesus means intentionally counting the cost and believing His will is greater than anything you could give up. Plus, learn why Jesus' invitation to follow Him comes with "strings attached"—and why that's actually the best news ever.

Scripture references:

• Hebrews 12:2
• Romans 12:1-2
• John 15:6
• Luke 14:25-33

This week, we wrap up our series The Kingdom of God with a vital reminder: your identity as a son or daughter comes with authority and purpose. Through Jesus, humanity's dominion has been restored, and we're called to partner with God to see His will done on earth as it is in Heaven. Pastor Alvin dives into what true sonship looks like—walking in the authority you've been given, using prayer as an act of dominion, and inviting God's power to move through your life. Get ready to discover how to live as an empowered child of God, governing with wisdom and glorifying the Father by walking in His power.

Mark 1: 14-15

Matthew 28:18-20

Matthew 16:19

Matthew 6:9-19
