Message: “Love & Hate” from Adrian Schoonmaker

In this message, we explore what it truly costs to draw near to God. Through the words of Jesus in John 12, we’re challenged to surrender our comforts, identities, and logic in exchange for a deeper, eternal purpose. Following Jesus isn’t about half-measures; it’s about full devotion.

From Series: "Don't Be A Stranger"

"How can I get closer to God? How can I grow in my faith?” Many people answer this question by getting more involved in church. As important as church is, mere involvement often leaves people feeling empty and disappointed. In the book of James, chapter 4, the Scripture lays out for us what it takes to get closer to God. Do you desire a stronger spiritual fire? For the Bible and prayer to come alive for you? To feel more of God’s presence? This series is for you.
