Who was in the room before the Church began? In Week 1 of Build the House, Amy Perez looks at Acts 1 and the ordinary people gathered in the upper room. As they waited for God's promise, they were gathered and available, discipled and formed, empowered and sent. This message reminds us that God builds His Church through ordinary people who make room for Him.

Temptation is something every believer will face, but it does not have to define us. In this message, we explore Jesus' prayer, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," and discover how God uses trials, testing, and even our weaknesses to form deeper dependence on Him. Through the example of Jesus and the promise of redemption, we are reminded that our story does not end in temptation but in transformation. Listen to this encouraging message and be reminded that God's grace is greater than any struggle you face.

Why do we feel the need to hide our failures, earn God's approval, or punish ourselves when we fall short? In Seen and Still Clothed, Pastor Olu explores the difference between self-righteousness and the righteousness that comes through Christ. Through the story of Adam and Eve and the finished work of Jesus, we are reminded that God has already provided what we could never earn ourselves. This message is an invitation to step out of shame, stop performing, and confidently receive the grace that has been made available through faith.

What does righteousness actually look like in everyday life? In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks unpacks how righteousness is less about religious performance and more about right relationship with God and others. As we walk closely with Jesus, we begin to live satisfied, confident, and full of purpose in a world that desperately needs His love.

This week Pastor Kevin Myers teaches on "The Flow of Forgiveness" and the freedom that comes when we surrender offense, bitterness, and shame to Jesus. Through Scripture, we see that forgiveness is not weakness but the pathway to living fully alive in God's grace and unrestricted love.
