Connecting With God (Amen, Hallelujah! Part 3) Do you have a comfortable faith or a desperate faith? In Part 3 of our series from Psalm 63, we explore how God intimately connects with us through His supernatural love, a purpose-filled life, and the living presence of the Holy Spirit. Discover the practical rhythm of "Stop, Look, and Listen"—how to spend time in His Word and prayer, watch Him actively work, and truly listen to His voice. Listen now to learn how cultivating a desperate faith leads you to seek God with all your heart and experience His unchanging presence.

What is true worship, and why does it matter so much to God? In Part 2 of our series from Psalm 100, we strip away religious traditions, emotional highs, and external performances to uncover the biblical reality of praise. Discover why worship is not mere entertainment, but the absolute surrender to the holiness of God and the demands He places on our lives. Watch now to explore how a genuine encounter with God's holiness—like Isaiah's—transforms your heart and changes the world. Join us in person every Sunday at 10:30 AM. We are located at 500 W. Truman Rd, Independence, MO - 1 Block East of the Historical Harry S. Truman Home.

Why do we gather every week to sing, pray, and open the Word? In this message from Revelation 19, we explore the true meaning of worship and why it is the most important thing the church—and every believer—can do. Discover how stepping through the open door into God's throne room shifts our perspective from the temporary, chaotic visible world to the eternal, unshakable invisible reality where God reigns supreme. Watch now to deepen your understanding of praise and learn how true worship changes everything. The best way to support our Ministry is by sharing these podcasts with your friends and family.

Here are the Podbean, Facebook, and YouTube-friendly descriptions tailored from Dan's sermon notes on Spiritual Gifts and Ministries (Part 1): Podbean / Podcast Description Title: Spiritual Gifts: Ministries (Part 1) | Discover Your Ministry Episode Summary: Over the past few weeks, we've explored what the Bible teaches about the 7 basic Spiritual Gifts. But just knowing your spiritual gift isn't enough—you have to use it for God's glory and intent through ministry! In this message, we begin a 3-part study on discovering your ministry by looking closely at Colossians 4:7-10. Join us as we examine the unique, behind-the-scenes ministries of Tychicus, Onesimus, Aristarchus, and Mark, and learn how God wants to use your unique gifts in His church today. Key Takeaways: Your spiritual gift never changes, but your ministries and locations may change. Tychicus models the ministry of encouragement. Onesimus demonstrates a true servant's heart. Aristarchus shows us the power of a mercy giver. Mark reminds us that God offers restoration even when we stumble or get discouraged. Don't forget to take our Spiritual Gifts Survey at the back of the auditorium to help discover how God has wired you to serve!
