In this sobering message, DON'T CLAP. CARRY., from our powerful series FRUIT THAT REMAINS, Lonnell Williams walks us through 2 Samuel 6, reminding us that God is not impressed by our enthusiasm if it is divorced from obedience.David desired to bring the Ark of the Covenant back to Jerusalem, but Israel attempted to carry something holy in a way God never authorized. The cart worked but success was never God's standard. What seemed effective was still disobedient.Through the life of Uzzah, we are confronted with the danger of familiarity without reverence. We can be near the presence of God, serve in His house, and know the motions, yet never carry the weight of what is holy. Culture is not revealed in our celebration but in our submission. When everything begins to shake, our patterns expose what we truly value.Will we allow applause to drown out correction, or will we humble ourselves enough to carry what God has entrusted to us His way?

In week 3 of our powerful series, FRUIT THAT REMAINS, Elder Milton James challenged us with a sobering truth about generosity.
Throughout Scripture, God reveals Himself as our sustainer, provider, and source. Yet we are often tempted to trust in possessions, cling to comfort, and hold tightly to what God has entrusted to us.
We are confronted with a question every disciple must answer: does God have our heart, or does something else?
Generosity is the fruit of a heart fully surrendered to the Lord. Will our hearts remain postured toward Him?

In this dynamic message, RUN AND TELL THAT, of our powerful series FRUIT THAT REMAINS, Lonnell Williams walks us through John 4, reminding us that evangelism is not optional for disciples.
Jesus sat at a well everyone else avoided and met a woman hiding in shame who needed living water. The town knew enough to whisper about her, but Jesus knew enough to deliver her. He exposed her, not to embarrass her, but to set her free.

She came to the well alone, avoiding people but left as a witness, running back to the very town she once hid from with a simple invitation: “Come see a man.”

We cannot watch people stay thirsty when we know where the water is.

Has our burden for the lost returned, or have we grown comfortable?

In this opening message of our NEW series FRUIT THAT REMAINS, Elder Arik Hayes confronts a culture that bows at the altar of feelings while neglecting the honor due to God.Drawing from Psalm 100:3, Matthew 15:7-9, Malachi 1:6-8, and Jude 1:24, we are reminded that honor is not emotional, it is predetermined. We cannot separate honoring God from honoring His Word. In a generation driven by individualism, disciples must bury honor deep in our souls.
The question remains:Will you honor God, or will you honor your feelings?

n this piercing conclusion to our powerful series, ACTS I & II, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell brought a bold word from Acts 2:42-47. The Church was never about size but about faithfulness. A mixed multitude of disciples, rooted in the Word, fighting for true community (koinonia) with glad and generous hearts. Meeting in temples and homes, they cared enough about the lost that the Lord added to their number daily.

This is THE TRUE CHURCH that Christ died to leave with us. As time runs out: Devote yourself. The King is coming.
