Week 4 of our Gifted series took us into the topic of tongues. We looked at how language first became a source of confusion and division because of sin, but how through Jesus, what was broken is being brought back together. God’s desire has always been to unite people from every nation, tribe, and tongue through the gospel. In a world full of confusion, noise, and competing voices, we were challenged to be people who pursue truth and point others to the hope found in Christ.

In week three of our Gifted series, we took a closer look at sign gifts - what they are, why they matter, and how we see them woven throughout Scripture. We talked about their purpose in pointing people to God and how they played a foundational role in revealing His power and truth. We were reminded that while gifts are important, they are never the end goal. God calls us to faithfully use whatever He’s given us, not for our own recognition, but to build up the Church and reflect Him to others.
More than anything, we were challenged with this truth: love is greater than any gift. Gifts may serve a purpose for a season, but love never fades. So as we walk in what God has given us, we do it grounded in love because that’s what lasts.

In Week 2 of our series, Gifted, we discussed what it looks like to actually use the gifts we’ve been given. We talked about how our gifts and talents aren’t meant to stay hidden or be used for ourselves—they’re meant to strengthen and serve the Church as a whole. When each of us chooses to show up as contributors rather than consumers, something powerful happens: unity is formed. The Church begins to function the way it was designed—each part playing its role, supporting one another, and building something bigger than any one person.
You have a part to play. And when you step into it, it doesn’t just impact you—it impacts all of us.

Tonight we kicked off our brand new series, Gifted, by diving into what spiritual gifts are and what they aren’t. We talked about how these gifts aren’t meant to make much of us, but to make much of God. Spiritual gifts are given by Him, for His glory, and are meant to be used to build up the body of Christ.

In the final week of our Galatians series, we finished the book by talking about what it looks like to live in true biblical community and how the gospel not only changes us personally, but changes the way we love and show up for the people around us. Paul shows us that the freedom we have in Christ was never meant to lead us into doing life alone. Instead, we are called to walk with one another through the good, the bad, and the ugly — encouraging each other, carrying burdens, and pointing one another back to Jesus.

In week 4 of our Galatians series, we talked through how the world can impact the way we view things more than we realize. It becomes so easy to be shaped by what’s around us and drift into living by the flesh instead of walking by the Spirit. But in Galatians, we’re reminded that the life we live is formed by what we choose to feed. What we feed grows, and what we starve dies. Instead of letting the world shape our desires, we’re called to daily feed the Spirit and starve the flesh, trusting that God is changing us from the inside out.

In week three of our series through Galatians, we walked through Galatians 3:15–29 and talked about the purpose of the law and the promise God made long before it. Paul explains that the law was never meant to replace God’s promise—it pointed us to our need for Jesus. Because of Jesus, we are no longer striving for perfection under a set of rules. Instead, we are invited to trust in God’s promises rather than our performance. Our standing with God isn’t based on what we can achieve, but on what Christ has already done for us.

In week two of our series through Galatians, we walked through Galatians 2:15-21 and talked about the truth that we are justified through faith in Jesus, not by works.

In Session Two of MVMT WKND, we leaned into what happens when we truly believe God’s Word. We talked about how authentic faith produces authentic change and how Scripture isn’t meant to comfort our old life — it’s meant to disrupt it. We also unpacked how our enemy is deceptive, but God’s truth is transforming. When we know the Word and walk in it, it changes everything.
In week one of our new series, Galatians, we began walking verse by verse through this powerful letter. Looking at Galatians 1:1–10, Paul the Apostle makes it clear that while there are many false gospels competing for our attention, there is only one true gospel — the gospel of Jesus Christ. We talked about how easy it is to believe distorted versions of the gospel that add to it, subtract from it, or shift the focus onto us. But the true gospel is centered on Jesus alone. When we understand and hold onto the real gospel, it changes everything.

During our MVMT WKND breakout sessions, students had the opportunity to go deeper in understanding and engaging with the Bible. We helped students learn how to interpret the Bible correctly, teaching them how to understand context, genre, and the overall story of Scripture so they can read it with clarity and confidence. Each session equipped students with practical tools to not only read the Bible, but to understand it and build their lives on it.

In Session One of MVMT WKND, we zoomed out and looked at the big story of the Bible. We talked about how God brings deliverance out of our dysfunction and how He has always used imperfect people to accomplish His perfect plan. No matter your past or your struggles, God isn’t surprised by your story. Ultimately, we were reminded that true identity is found in Jesus — not in being the hero of our own story, but in recognizing that He already is.
In the final week of our series Tuff Questions, we answered the question, “Why does God give Satan power?”. We talked about how Satan is not equal to God, how his power is limited and temporary, and how nothing happens outside of God’s authority. We also looked at how God can use even what the enemy means for evil for His purposes and our growth.

We discussed how the world promises happiness and fulfillment but always falls short, and why, as followers of Jesus, our real home is heaven. If we belong to a different kingdom, it should change how we live, choose, and represent Jesus every day.

In the final week of our series Fight Club, we explored the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Their story reminds us that unresolved conflict with God doesn’t stay contained — it spills into every area of our lives, shaping our choices, our relationships, and even the way we see others. We were challenged to recognize how easily division grows when we don’t address the tension in our hearts.
In week 3 of our series Fight Club, we talked about how to evaluate the conflicts in our lives so we can pursue restoration in a godly way. We were reminded that when we face conflict, we are called to walk beside those we disagree with—not above them—and to respond in a way that reflects God’s character. In the end, it’s not about proving our point, but about pointing others back to Jesus.

We were reminded that God gives us a new identity, one not defined by our failures but by His grace. When we live based on that identity, we can see others, and ourselves, more clearly.

In this week’s message, we dive into what it truly means to walk in obedience to God. By looking at Saul's story, we learned that obedience isn’t about sometimes following rules—it’s about trusting His commands fully. When we surrender our own way, we open the door to God’s greater purpose and blessing in our lives.
In week 4 of our series Heart of Kings, we looked at the life of King Uzziah. His story showed us the dangers of pride, but it also reminded us of the freedom that comes when gratitude takes its place.

In week 3 of our series Heart of Kings, we studied Jeroboam and saw how relying on our own wisdom can quickly lead us astray. His example showed the danger of taking control into our own hands, and we learned what it looks like to release that control and trust God with the future.
In week two of our Heart of Kings series, we explored the life of King Solomon. His story reveals how leadership shifts when we chase worldly wisdom instead of God’s wisdom. Solomon reminds us that when we let the voices and opinions around us shape our decisions, we risk losing sight of God’s truth.

We love the ability to create and customize things to our liking. Unfortunately, this mindset has been brought into the church.
