What Are You Reaching For?

For this service, Pastor Albert delivers a passionate and important message on reaching for God in all situations. He died on the cross so he could be God and God alone, but often times we see Him as a genie, waiting to fulfill our needs. What do you do with a "disobedient" God, a God who follows his own way?

The Book of John

Fullness

In part 5 of the Book of John series, Past Albert delivers a passionate preaching on the fullness of God and it's impact on our lives. Have you experienced the fullness of His word in you? It’s found exclusively in God and God alone. Purpose is here, meaning is here, rationale is here, and it is here in God.

The Book of John

Children of God

In part 4 of the Book of John series, Pastor Albert preaches a powerful message on the role we as children of God play in displaying Jesus Christ's glory to the world. What if you had been spared from your horrible situation so that you could deliver the message of God’s hope and love? God will definitely work through you, but only if you allow Him to.

The Book of John

Without Him…

The Book of John

In the Beginning

In the part 2 of the Book of John series, Pastor Albert gives a powerful message about loving God for who He is and not for what He can do for us. If we miss who He is, then we will miss the best part of him: A father who wants us to be fulfilled by his overwhelming, healing presence.

The Story of Iran's Church

The Story of Iran’s Church

For this service, Guest speaker David Yeghnazar speaks on the growing Christian community in Iran as a testament to the unfiltered grace and love of Jesus Christ. Often times we set conditions on who we are willing to share the message of Christ to, when God is set on making sure everyone experiences his life changing love. Loving kind people is easy, but loving difficult people is how you truly grow stronger in Christ.

Our Father

Our Father

For this service, Pastor Mark Chase delivers a moving preaching about seeing God not as a detached being, but as a caring father. We can't have a parent-child relationship with God if we keep hiding our true selves from Him; God desperately wants to meet the real you.

Begin Again

Begin Again – Part 4

In part 4 of the Begin Again Series, Pastor Katie delivers an enlightening and powerful preaching about letting pride go to begin again with God. Practical atheism is the kind of pride that says, “God I believe in you, but I’m going to live like you don’t exist", and that is what many of us unintentionally practice. What are you most afraid of, and have you ever surrendered that to God?

Begin Again

Begin Again- Part 3

In part 3 of the Begin Again series, Pastor Michael shares a moving preaching on the blessing behind great struggle. At times, life can prove to be difficult and heartbreaking, which is why we sometimes choose to ignore the problems that are bubbling inside of us. However, Jesus shows us that we are not not meant to live in a state of numbness, and he does this by speaking through our most painful wounds.

Begin Again

Begin Again – Part 2

In part 2 of the Begin Again series, Pastor Albert preaches a passionate and uplifting message on starting over with God at the wheel. One of the greatest gifts that we receive from God is messing up and having the privilege to begin again. However, There is no point in beginning again if we don't begin with God.

The Gift of Presence

Table

The Gift of Presence

Bread

For this week's installment of the gift of presence series, Pastor Brandan Spencer delivers a powerful preaching on Jesus Christ being the ultimate form of nourishment. When we accept Christ's nourishing presence into our lives, it leads us to think about the path we are currently on, and whether or not we should be on that path. The mission that Jesus has might not be the mission that we want, but it’s always the mission that we need.

The Gift of Presence

Bread

The Gift of Presence

Salt

In this week's installment of the Gift of Presence series, Pastor Chase brings us a fiery and passionate take on what it means to be the salt of the earth. Do you want to know what salt is? It’s regular people being given a radically new identity by a radically gracious God. You are the salt of the earth.

The Gift of Presence

Light

For the first installment of The Gift of Presence series, Pastor Albert gives a moving preaching on the importance of letting God show up through our presence. We might not feel like He could use us to be a blessing in others' lives, but God wants us to know that broken lights still shine bright. What would it mean for us to show up and be a blessing for people we would normally pass by?

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: A Brave Life

For the last installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert preaches a powerful message on being unafraid to give our all to the cause of Jesus Christ. If we want to live the blessed life that God has for us, then we need to stop asking, "How little can I give?" Being aware of a problem that faces our communities is the first step, but stepping into community and taking action is what's really going to bring about kingdom change.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: A Disciplined Life

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: The Blessed Life: Generosity

In this week's installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Tate gives a moving preaching on what it means to truly be generous in the eyes of God. If we're ever going to be generous, we need to understand this crucial principle: we're not the owners, we're the managers. We only receive the joy of generosity when we see ourselves as what we really are, and that's the manager.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: The Blessed Life

In this week's installment of the Intentionally series, pastor Albert delivers a crucial message on what it means to live a blessed life in the eyes of God. We as Christians often confuse the good life with the blessed life, when the first option is really about living for our own wants and desires. The blessed life is a persecuted life, which in reality brings us into closer fellowship with our Father in heaven.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: Gospel Hospitality

For this week's installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert gives a heartwarming message on how the gospel completely changes how we treat one another. Gospel hospitality is the idea that the gospel has so transformed our hearts and minds that it changes how we see how other people. If you want to see the best of who we are, then live life with people in the church; discipleship comes in alive in circles.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: 7 Days

In this week's installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert gives an exciting message on the Sabbath and it's role in our relationship with God. We are so often fixated on filling up our schedule with things to do that we don't realize the necessity of devoting one day to stopping everything and standing still. If our phones need to be charged every 24 hours, then how much more do our souls need to be charged by the spirit of the living God?

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: Take Another Step

In this week's installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert preaches an unforgettable sermon on completely stepping into God's plan for our lives. This Christian life is a journey, and in order for us to move forward in it we have to first take a step back towards our Father in heaven.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: Rehearsing The Gospel

In this week's installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert preaches a beautiful sermon on  actively reminding ourselves of the beauty of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Tough times are to be expected in life, but God uses those moments to forge us into the lovely pearls he intended us to be. We can only grow from these struggles, however, when we are rooted in the truth of the gospel daily.

Intentionally Fellowship

Intentionally Fellowship: In His Purpose. On Purpose.

For the first installment of the Intentionally series, Pastor Albert gives a moving message about getting deeper into understanding what the gospel of Jesus Christ means for our lives. When we truly rest in God and throw ourselves into his presence, that is when everything changes; we are transformed in his glory.

Vision Sunday

Vision Sunday: Give

For this service, Pastor Michael delivers a powerful preaching on the importance of giving & serving the community with a God given heart. God has a vision and a dream for our city, and He needs every single one of us to see it blossom into reality. We believe we're telling the greatest story ever told every week, but this story wasn't meant to be just said at church.

Vision Sunday

Vision Sunday

For this Special Sunday service, Pastor Albert Tate speaks with great passion on how discipleship and a heavy focus on the gospel is the key to growth. It hasn’t proven hard for Fellowship to attract a crowd, but the question is can we attract a congregation, a community of believers committed to discipleship? At fellowship, the vision is clear: we do discipleship, that’s what we do; that’s what God is going to ask us about.

Now

Now

For this service, Pastor Becky gives a heartfelt preaching on the importance on flowing naturally with God to where He is taking us. When something changes in our lives, we don’t tend to go with it very naturally, and often end up stalling our growth. There are things we need to stop and things we need to start, and as we look back on those moments we see God has been faithful in every situation.

Becoming the Christian Jesus Prayed For

Becoming the Christian Jesus Prayed For

For this service, guest speaker Efrem Smith gives a passionate and powerful preaching on growing & maturing in Christ daily. If we want to become the Christians Jesus prayed for, then we need to start discovering, more and more, the real Christ. The real Jesus is above our ideologies and politics, and He transcends the racial matrix of this world. And yet, he offers the eternal gift of salvation to all of humanity.

Summer Speaker Series

Jesus Saves

For the final installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Albert gives a powerful and moving preaching on living a life of eternal significance. When our lives are interrupted by death, it changes our perspective, and we start to see things for what they are. When it's all said and done, God isn't impressed with our earthly accomplishments or our resume; what He wants to know is: have we lived selflessly for Christ?

Summer Speaker Series

Even If

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Chuck   preaches a passionate message on following Christ through all of life's hardships. What comes to your mind when you think about God? Is He a 24/7 God, a father who is always watching after you, or is He passive? When life's challenges are coming at us head on, we must wrap our heads around this sacred truth: God is, and will always be, with us.

Summer Speaker Series

One Beat

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, pastor Mark Chase delivers his first preaching on what it means to be completely immersed and in sync with God. What would it look like for you to take your hands off of the places where you’re hurting, so that the healing hands of the great physician might touch it, and you might be made whole? It’s important that God is our comforter, because what we give the power to comfort us we simultaneously give the power to control us.

Summer Speaker Series

Out of Hiding

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, pastor Jesse preaches a passionate and moving message about coming out of hiding and into God's presence. For those of us who say, “but you don’t even know what I’ve done”, Jesus does and he’s not even fazed by it. Whatever titles and names have been put on you, Jesus comes in and wipes it all away and he says, “You are my daughter, you are my son."

Summer Speaker Series

Your Story Matters

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Brittany Barron preaches her first service on the beauty of embracing our God given life stories. When we don’t embrace our stories, we miss what God is trying to do, and we miss that part of God for our lives. When our stories go untold, we lose the opportunity to step into someone’s narrative and change the course by sharing what God has done through our lives.

Summer Speaker Series

I’ve Seen A Glimpse

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Katie preaches a heartfelt message on the true nature of the kingdom of God. His kingdom is rarely found in auditoriums, but is often found in living rooms, allowing for true intimacy to arise. The kingdom of heaven is lot smaller and bigger than you thought... don't try to figure it out, just follow him.

Summer Speaker Series

Broken Pieces

In this week's installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Becky speaks passionately about trusting God with the broken pieces of our lives. We have often have our own vision for how we want our lives to look, when suddenly something happens that makes it all come apart. If God gets those pieces he can build a picture that for all eternity will be beautiful, but he needs to be the builder.

Summer Speaker Series

Hello, My Name Is…

For the first installment of the Summer Speaker series, Pastor Michael delivers an inspiring message on knowing who Jesus truly is in our lives. Our identities are often shaped by false labels, but God will pursue us over and over again until what he says about us is actually true. When we understand who God is, in that moment he re-identifies us and puts on a label that all other labels bow down to.

Doctrine that Dances

Doctrine of Community

For the final installment of the Doctrine that Dances series, Pastor Albert delivers a heartfelt preaching about the beauty of being in Christ centered community. If the biggest lie Satan is telling us is that we are better off alone, then the greatest truth God wants us to know is that we need each other. When love is the center, community will come alive in your life.

Doctrine that Dances

Doctrine of Mission

In this week's installment of the Doctrine that Dances series, Pastor Michael speaks passionately about the true purpose of mission. In order for this doctrine to be something that dances in our lives, we must focus not only on who we’re called to and what we’re doing, but why we’re doing it. The nature of mission is something that is initiated in heaven & carried out on earth, but often we are too inwardly focused to see how God is moving. There are so many things that keep us turned inward, when our God is saying, “Heaven is meeting earth all around you, and I want you to participate in that.”

Doctrine that Dances

Doctrine of Freedom

In this week's installment of the Doctrine that Dances series, Pastor Albert delivers a heartfelt and inspiring preaching on what it means to be truly set free through Christ. Before we can talk about freedom we have to talk about bondage, and before we talk about bondage we have to talk about what binds us. What is the lie Satan is using against you, what is he accusing you of that you're believing? Whatever it may be, know that the Holy Spirit has come to set you free by the blood of the lamb and the words of your testimony.

Doctrine that Dances

Doctrine that Dances

For the first installment of the Doctrine that Dances series, Pastor Albert gives a passionate and powerful preaching on the reach of God's grace. The grace we receive from our Father in heaven is comforting but not comfortable, calling us to think about how we treat God as well as others. If you ever want to dance to the grace of God, you need to know that you're not the producer, He is.

Father's Day

The Heart of a Father

For this service, Pastor Ed delivers a passionate preaching about what it means to be a father in the eyes of God. Through the morning's passage, we see that our Father in heaven is always paying attention to us so that He may provide whatever our hearts need. In the same way, Fathers are called not only to provide physically for their children, but to make sure their child knows they have a father who is there for them.

Ephesians

I’m Sending You Someone

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a moving preaching on how God reveals Himself to us. Through His son Jesus, the Holy Spirit has come to tell us that the God of all creation is making all things new. In moments of crisis, the Holy Spirit will come and remind us of what He is doing, but we have to turn our ears to His voice so that we might always hear the Lord speak.

Ephesians

Standing in Him

For this service, Pastor Albert speaks on the powerful topic of the armor of God. The Lord has already given us what we need to live a Christ-centered life, but just because we have the blessings doesn't mean we're putting them on. When we put the armor on daily, that is when we will stand firm against all life can throw at us because we will be immersed in God's truth.

Book of Ephesians

Brothers & Sisters

For this service, Pastor Michael delivers a powerful message on what it means to trust and serve God in the midst of a horrible situation. As we set our will on Christ, the Lord will make sure we don’t become whatever atmosphere we’ve been placed in. Everyone is a masterpiece in the eyes of God, and He is calling us to see each other this way, not judge one another by race or social standing.

Ephesians

We’re Listening

For this service, Pastor Katie speaks on the importance of seeking God through inter-generational relationships. God shows up when we take the time to form lasting bonds with those that are younger and older than us, blessing us in ways that we could never possibly imagine.

Ephesians

Selfless Love

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a powerful message on what it means to love selflessly in relationships. God reminds us that it's not about power, it's about posture; men and women should serve one another as they pursue Jesus.

Mother's Day

Courage

For this Mother's Day service, Pastor Becky delivers a heartfelt message on getting courage from God. Fear can paralyze us, but it cannot touch us. We are absolutely surrounded by not only God’s love, but by God’s presence Himself.

Ephesians

Be Filled

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a passionate preaching on what it means to be filled by God. Being filled is not about our brain thinking less about our problems, it’s about us being focused more on our God given resources. There is something about being filled with the spirit of God that reminds you He is bigger than your problems.

Ephesians

Breaking Up

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a passionate preaching on how to break up with sin and lean into God's love. Death is the end result when we embrace sin, but God takes us out of that abusive relationship with the blood of Jesus.

Ephesians

Say What?

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a powerful message on aligning our speech with God’s plan. If we’re in a good mood others will get the best of the righteousness of God, but if we’re not they will get whatever we want to give them. When we get rid of anger and bitterness from our heart, what replaces it will be the never ending love and grace of our Father in heaven.

Men's Conference

The Mission of a Man

For the 3rd and final part of the Men's Conference, Pastor Ed delivers an important message on the mission of a man. When we're not invested in communities we get into traps, but we weren't designed to live avoiding traps, we were designed to live our lives on mission. When we think about mission and purpose, we start with the fact that we have one. We may not be fully aware of it, but God has something extraordinary in mind for all of us.

Men's Conference

The Soul of a Man

For the second part of the Men's conference, Pastor Chuck gives an insightful preaching on the soul of a man. You soul is to your life what your steering wheel is to your car, but it's a truth that many are not aware of. Depending on the health of our souls, our lives will either be drained by despair or filled with purpose.

Men's Conference

The Heart of a Man

For the 1st part of the Men's Conference, Pastor Albert speaks on the heart of a man. Something important we need to understand is that our heart is always longing, but we have to learn that the only thing that will satisfy the longing of our heart is God and God alone.

Ephesians

Living in the New

For this service, Pastor Albert delivers an important message on living in the new life God has provided. We often allow our surroundings and problems to harden our hearts, when what God wants for us is to be rooted in the reality and beauty of the gospel.

Easter

All Things New

For this service, Pastor Albert gives a passionate message on how God makes all things new. Whenever we doubt God, we turn away from him when he is saying, "bring your doubts.. I've provided a way for you." When we remove the hard things that are covering our hearts, we will experience the beauty that is our heavenly father.

Good Friday

Good Friday

For this service, Pastor Albert delivers a heartfelt message on the sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Through Jesus's loving sacrifice on the cross, God shows us there is nothing we will go through that our heavenly father has not been through.

Palm Sunday

It Begins…

For this service, Pastor Katie delivers a powerful message on how we often miss why Jesus has come. He is so ready to break your expectations of what he can do, and that's where we begin holy week; we begin with the reality that he came to do so much more.

Ephesians

Unity

For this service, Pastor Albert speaks on how the community of Christ is unified through surrendering completely. Unity doesn't looks like people who have it all together, it looks like people who have tuned their life to the key of God so that the world can experience the beautiful melody of Christ.

Ephesians

Oneness

For this service, Pastor Albert speaks on the "usness" that is found through the oneness of God. The Gospel has a way of changing us and helping us realize that humbling ourselves before God brings us closer to him. When we completely rest in the hope that is found in Jesus, that is when we truly begin to cherish the beauty and importance of the community of Christ.

Ephesians

Yielded for Greater

For this service, Pastor Albert delivers an important message on giving God full control over our lives. Jesus Christ gave his life so that we could know love, but we have to yield so that it can work through us.

Ephesians

The Gift of Chains

For this service, Pastor Michael delivers an important message about thriving in a miserable situation. We often move through life so quickly that we don't focus on the deeper question, "What are we here on this earth for?" When we realize that our purpose and mission are found through resting completely in Christ, we will come to see that even our struggles are blessings in disguise.

Ephesians

Cornerstone

For this service, Pastor Albert speaks on the richness of “usness” that comes from Christ. We often try to earn God’s favor, but what he wants for us is to put Christ as the cornerstone in every facet of our lives. When we do this, God begins to bring the community of Christ together so that true change can take shape.

Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday

For Ash Wednesday, Pastor Albert speaks on the redeeming grace of God. We often say that we want Christ to be a part of our lives, but we don’t allow him to fully take control. When we truly surrender everything to him, that is when true restoration can begin.

Ephesians

Therefore…

For this service, Pastor Albert delivers an important message on the full reach of the grace of God. We should always remember that Christ is the reason why we have grace, but we should also remember that his grace extends to everyone. When we accept this reality, the walls of hostility between us will break down and God's vision for the church will come to fruition.

Ephesians

But, God

For this service, Albert speaks on the truth about us and the truth about God's grace. We often value our own freedom more than God's purpose for our lives, which always leads to us feeling lost and alone. God made a way though Jesus to show us that true living begins when we let him transform us from the inside out.

Anniversary Celebration

The Most Complicated Math Problem In the World

For this service, Guest speaker Bryan Loritts of Fellowship Memphis delivers an important message about forgiveness. Sometimes In life we are wronged by others, and those experiences can leave scars. When you are aware of the redeeming grace that Jesus bestows upon you, your heart feels compelled to let go of the pain and forgive.

Ephesians

In Us – 11am

For the 11am service, Pastor Albert delivers a heartfelt message about entrusting everything to God. While preaching, He felt the the Lord urging him to speak to those in the room who were in a dark place. Calling people to the front, Albert imparted with them these words: "God says, 'I love you too much to leave you like this. I can take you anywhere, you don't have to stay here like this.'"

Ephesians

In Us – 9am

For the 9am service, Pastor Albert speaks on the hope and inheritance found in Christ. When we feel lost and in darkness, God calls to us, saying, "I can take you anywhere, you don't have to live like this." When we surrender it all to God, that is when we can truly come together and experience our inheritance: the church, a community united in Christ.

Ephesians

In Him – Part 2

For the second part of the In Him series, Pastor Becky White gives a profound message about the wonders of being in a relationship with God. Often times we feel like we don't have value, but God comes to us and tells us otherwise. Not only does God have a home in our hearts, we have a home in him.

Ephesians

In Him

In the first part of the In Him series, Pastor Albert speaks on what it means to completely rest in God. We are often so consumed with ourselves and our plans that we don't understand that God's grace covers every facet of our lives. When we surrender our will and desires and take up his, that is when the church truly becomes what it is meant to be.

One More Brave Step

One More Brave Step

For this week's service, Pastor Katie speaks on what it means to make a Godly lasting change in your life. We often try to treat the symptoms we deal with, when God is saying we need focus on the deeper issues. Starting is never easy, but the God we have is saying he will be with us every step of the way.

Live Adventurously

Live Adventurously

In the final installment of the Advent Conspiracy series, Pastor Jesse speaks on what it means to to live a life that reflects Jesus Christ. Jesus has brought salvation to all, yet there are still many waiting for love and hope to show up in their life. It can be scary to step out into the world and do God's work, but that fear leaves once we understand we are beloved in the eyes of our father; he will not forsake us.

Advent Conspiracy

Emmanuel

In this week's installment of the Advent Conspiracy series, Pastor Albert speaks on the identity of God and how he moves in our lives. When the weight of the world comes down on us, we often forget the kind of God we have. We must remember he is Emmanuel, "God with us", and that he makes broken things brand new.

Advent Conspiracy

Christmas Interrupted

In this week's installment of the Advent Conspiracy series, Pastor Albert speaks on what it takes to walk with Jesus and experience the true essence of Christmas. We need to accept that our God is someone who interrupts our plans for the sake of saving us from a path that would otherwise destroy us.

Advent Conspiracy

Hope… Delayed

In this week's installment of the Advent Conspiracy series, Pastor Michael speaks on how hope is often delayed in certain places in our lives. Hopelessness will no longer reign if we remember that Jesus came to let us know we are not alone, that with him broken things are made new again.

Advent Conspiracy

Worship Fully

In the first Installment of the Advent Conspiracy series, Pastor Albert speaks on the true meaning of Christmas and how it's been distorted. The current interpretation is centered on us, on what we want to receive and what we feel will satisfy us. Instead, it should be about coming to Jesus and worshipping him, not because of what he can do for us, but who he is: the only one who can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.

Rooted

Walk in Joy

In the final installment of the Rooted series, Pastor Albert speaks on what it means to live a thankful life. There are times when life is so rough we don’t even feel like praying, let alone know what to be grateful for. It in these moments that we should remember who our God is, and that his peace, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Rooted

The Church

In this week's installment of the Rooted series, Pastor Albert talks about the the identity of the church and what it means in regards to our lives. A vital aspect of the church's identity is the gospel, knowing that Jesus Christ has come to make a new way and give us access to the palace of God. No longer are we outside of his presence, but rather immersed in his love alongside our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Rooted
