Pastor Erica concludes the Dangerous Prayer series with a message based on the Lord's Prayer
We falsely believe relationships, work, money, titles, or things will make us happy. They leave us empty and wanting more. Pastor Erica offers three ways to make God number 1 in our lives.
God, if I could just…then I’ll be satisfied.
Our chasing after relationships and things often reveal the lack of trust in our relationship with God.
Something inside of us wants to know am I good enough, pretty enough, smart enough...We have an insatiable desire to be told we are.....accepted and loved!
Take your next step toward facing your fears. Talking through these questions with a friend can help you put this message into action.
We all know and love the Christmas story. We have our favorite characters. But have you ever thought about the characters in the shadows of the story? This year we will let the lesser-known Christmas stars shine.
What feels empty in your life? Pastor Erica offers 3-steps to take this Christmas experience wholeness again.
Is it okay to not be okay? What about bad things I've done or the relationships in my past?
The story of Zechariah starts out on the road to nowhere. His life was missing what he longed for. The story of Christmas begins with his patient waiting that a new day is coming.
We carry around so many things in life that cause death. Our grief. Our pain. Our hurt. Our addictions. Our distractions.
Jesus calls forth new life for Lazarus by telling him to shake off the death clothes. God wants new life for you, too.
Pastor Erica shares a refreshing message about dry bones being brought to life again in your life - it challenges you to become who God has set you apart to be.

We make decisions every day. Some big. Some little. Often times the choices are both pretty good so it’s important to make good decisions. Yet, we find ourselves paralyzed, overthinking, or regretting our decisions.
Why is everyone so angry? Why is that everyone seems so divided around every issue? Erica and Chris discuss how to live a different way that learns to be slow to anger and quick to listen.
In a world that is bitter and divided, where is God at work? In our lives, where do we find the Spirit moving? All of us develop fruit from the choices we make in life. The question is what kind of fruit are you producing - sweet or bitter?
Pastor Erica is joined by Stacey Yates, a personal injury lawyer, to discuss how she overcame a case of the shoulds to make a change in her career
Pastor Erica Allen is joined by David Schutte, lead pastor of Fellowship Wesleyan Church in West Seneca, New York to discuss finding healing after a season of pain, broken relationships, and divorce.
Digging into how we can find value in being generous when we feel like our money and time are already maxed out
Do you ever feel that life is one challenge after another? The truth is, that hardship comes to everyone sooner or later, but we can have confidence in times of trouble, because of our confidence in God.
Do you ever feel that life is one challenge after another?
The truth is, that hardship comes to everyone sooner or later, but we can have confidence in times of trouble, because of our confidence in God. God is at work - no matter what chaos we find ourselves in, whether inflicted by ourselves, by others or something completely out of our control.
We still have Christ as our confidence.
Love is hard. (And so is dating, marriage, and everything in between.)
Whether you’re single, married, or somewhere in-between, we want to help you see yourself and your relationships in a new way for God's new day. Relationship Reset is about moving past the regret of yesterday and finding true meaning in your relationships today.
Our daily lives certainly look different than they did a year ago, and many of us may be wondering when life will finally get back to "normal."
But what if God wants to use this past year to lead each of us into a new normal for 2021?
You have 20 seconds before you make a decision. What will you do? Will you choose Jesus?
Christmas brings a lot of stress into our lives but Christmas brings so much more! God spoke to Joseph in a dream when he paused.
We all worship something. True worship is much more than a church service, a song, or even a mindset... it encompasses our very lives. The way we live out our lives paints a picture of what our hearts value the most. God expects us to worship him with our entire being, and what we do with our lives say to others what we think about worship.

It feels like our country grows more polarized each day. Complex issues are addressed in soundbites. Our social media feeds contain partial truths. Friends, family, and neighbors will find that their relationships are threatened by politics. We believe that it is possible that Jesus’ teaching may hold the key to a better way.
In this series, we will find that the words of Jesus can lead us to tear down walls and build bridges as we seek a better way together.

Every day we’re bombarded with messages that claim to know who we are. The media, magazines, and marketing gurus try to tell us how to look, how to act, and what we’re worth. But we all have one true identity...the one God gave us and the way He sees us. Seeing our identity in Christ allows us to stand strong in life’s battles.

We get a ton of messages from many places telling us who we are, how to act, and what we should do. Too often we let those outside voices shape our true identity and purpose.
In the Book of Romans, Paul writes to the church in Rome to remind them of their purpose - to love, to serve, and to offer forgiveness. He urges followers of Jesus to be "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer" even in the face of change and conflict. Those are words we need to hear, too.
In a world that at times seems confusing, angry, or unpredictable, how do we begin to live out our lives with hope and peace? Real hope rests in the promises of God rather than in our own agendas and abilities. God invites us to live as a community of hope-filled people who can bring about God’s purposes together. Join us as we explore the true meaning of hope and the power it holds to change the world.

Life is full of interruptions. What we think will happen gets turned on its head even when there isn't a global pandemic. When everything changes is also the time when God starts putting together even better plans than we could even imagine.

What is a curveball? It is an unexpected interruption in the normal routine of life.
We wait for the fastball, belt-high, down the middle of the plate, but we often find ourselves having to adjust and swing at curveballs. Over the next 3 weeks, we will talk about how we remain focused on God's dream for our lives in the midst of burnout, cynicism, and complacency.

We often take for granted the necessity of having a constant thirst for Jesus’ love. Being thirsty for God seems easy, but often because of sin, we don’t recognize the need for reconciliation. Often we turn to satisfy it in wrong ways, but Jesus still extends the invitation for you to satisfy your thirst through him.

Jesus offers more and promises a life that is full. But it’s not what you think. Instead of chasing happiness in pursuit of the American Dream…what if we emptied ourselves and made space for the important things in life. What if Less Is More?

Anxiety might look different for all of us, but the truth is, anxiety is the number one mental health concern of our generation, and it’s only getting worse. Spurred on by constant comparison in the form of social media, the 24/7 news cycle broadcasting yet another disaster, and a rising sense of uncertainty, we’re more anxious, and afraid, than ever before. In this series we’ll be pinpointing the fears that ignite our anxieties, putting together a survival kit for what to do when anxiety does attack, and talking about what it looks like to live at peace with ourselves and with God, despite what anxiety tries to tell us. We may be anxious and afraid, but God hasn’t called us to be slaves to that fear, instead He wants us to find freedom, together.
While our lives are full of activity, we can also find ourselves feeling lonely and isolated. In this series, we will talk about the practical side of making meaningful friendships in the real world.

Labor Day is here. Goodbye Summer. Hello Fall.
School is back in full swing. We all crave forward motion; we work hard to achieve, compete, and get promoted. Once we arrive at our intended destination, however, we’re all haunted by the same questions: So What? Now what? And what makes a life good? Winning at life is great, but deep down, we all know we’re made for more than mere success. We were created for some greater purpose: to lead, to love, to serve.
