Midweek Move

Have you ever felt like your background, your past, or your social status might limit your access to God’s presence or favor? In this episode, we dive into Acts 10 to explore how Peter’s encounter with Cornelius reveals God’s radical lack of partiality and what that means for your identity in Christ today.

Many believers are questioning why modern church structures often mirror corporate business models instead of the spiritual qualifications found in the early church. In this episode, Pastors Scott and Dallas may have an answer as they explain why the goal of the church is to raise up "men and women of God" whose leadership is simply an overflow of their life as a disciple.
