Forgiveness & Overcoming Sin
Unfiltered Compassion
What separates genuine compassion from mere sympathy? Pastor Willie Russell draws a sharp distinction: sympathy is a passive emotion, while compassion is an active response that compels us to meet needs, regardless of convenience, judgment, or distance.

You Were Born to Overcome
Overcoming isn't automatic, it requires intentional steps. In this message, Pastor Mirek Hufton launches a series on the church's theme, Overcoming All, beginning with Step One: Live for God.

Drawing from Matthew 5, he unpacks what it means to be "poor in spirit", not weakness, but humble dependency on God, and challenges believers that hunger for God is a choice, not a feeling. Using the life of Stephen from Acts…
