Beyond Conscience by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we will be learning about the Holy Spirit. So many times, people think of the Holy Spirit as a mere force or simply our conscience. He is so much more than just a sense of right and wrong. The Holy Spirit is the promised helper from Scripture and we must have a good understanding of what He means for us as believers. The title of this week’s message is “BEYOND CONSCIENCE.”
The Exalted Word by Pastor Abidan Shah
We’re taking a look at Psalm 138 this weekend, where David writes about the Word of God and its importance for our lives. It is the final authority, revealing to us more about who God is and what He is like than anything else. The title of the message this weekend is “THE EXALTED WORD.”

A Mind To Work by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, in light of the Ministry Drive, we will be taking a look at Nehemiah and the account of God’s people rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem. Although people doubted they could accomplish the task before them, they succeeded because they had a unity of spirit and purpose. This weekend’s message is titled “A MIND TO WORK.”
Repent and Believe by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we turn our attention to the response to the gospel. It is not enough to merely hear the truth; we must respond to the gospel. Our response must be made up of both repentance and belief. They are two sides to the same coin. The call of the gospel is to turn from sin and to believe in Christ as your savior. This weekend’s message is titled “REPENT AND BELIEVE.”
Discipleship: Implanted by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we turn our attention to the importance of the Word of God being implanted in our hearts. When we memorize Scripture, we hide God’s Word in our hearts to keep us focused on Him when life tries to steal our attention. The implanted Word within us responds to the external Word when we sit under biblical teaching and preaching. Likewise, the external Word stirs the implanted Word within us and calls us to action. This weekend’s message is titled “DISCIPLESHIP: IMPLANTED.”
Discipleship 3: Together by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we come to the third letter of the acronym WATER, which stands for “Together.” In the book of Acts, the believers were united by a common purpose and desire to see the gospel spread to the nations. Their unity made them stand out from those around them and drew people to the truth of who Jesus is and what He accomplished. The title of this week’s message is “DISCIPLESHIP 3: TOGETHER.”
Discipleship 2: Accountable by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend, we come to the second letter of the acronym WATER, which stands for “Accountable.” Throughout Scripture, we find disciples of God being grouped into pairs and going out to spread the gospel, establish churches, or visit those in need. Jesus encouraged His followers to rely on a close inner circle to keep themselves focused on pursuing God and a pure life. The title of this week’s message is “DISCIPLESHIP 2: ACCOUNTABLE.”
Discipleship 1: Witnesses by Pastor Abidan Shah
Last weekend, I introduced the acronym WATER to help us understand what being a disciple should look like. This weekend, we’ll be examining the first of those elements of being a disciple; the message is titled “DISCIPLESHIP 1: WITNESSES.” We’ll be taking a look at Acts and seeing how the disciples were to be witnesses to those around them.
Senseless Obedience by Pastor Abidan Shah
Typically on Palm Sunday, we hear messages about Jesus entering Jerusalem. However, this year, I want to focus on what takes place immediately before His entrance into the city. Jesus commanded His disciples to untie a colt and bring it to Him to ride upon. On the surface, this command doesn’t make sense, but the disciples obeyed anyway. The title of this week’s message is “SENSELESS OBEDIENCE.”
Immortal by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend’s message is titled “IMMORTAL.” Paul’s words to the Philippians show that he was fearless in the faith of death. He knew what was waiting for him on the other side: an eternity in the presence of God. Paul was able to maintain an eternal perspective because he understood that this life is not all there is.
Perspective by Pastor Abidan Shah
This weekend’s message is titled “PERSPECTIVE.” Paul told the Philippians that everything that happened to him, both good and bad, served to spread the gospel. He even said that God used those who were preaching out of a spirit of competition with Paul to get the message of salvation to the nations.
The Grave-Robber by Pastor Abidan Shah
Death has always been our enemy. It rips a child from its’ mother, a friend from a friend and a lover from a lover. It can be expected or unexpected. In this message we will see that Jesus came to set us free from the power of death.
The Hope-Bringer by Pastor Abidan Shah
We will learn how Jesus brought hope to two different individuals: One, the daughter of Jairus and second, the woman with the issue of blood. In both cases Jesus brought hope where there was only hopelessness and despair.
The Life-Giver by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this episode of Jesus’ ministry we see Him stopping a funeral procession and bringing a dead man to life. As you can imagine, it made a radical impact on the onlookers. Even today Jesus is bringing the spiritually dead to life, which is the greater miracle!
Bad Start, Good Finish by Pastor Abidan Shah
The final message is titled “BAD START, GOOD FINISH.” It will remind us that even though there were many bad starts in Abraham and Sarah’s family, they all finished well. In other words, you don’t have to start well in order to finish well. There is hope for everyone who is willing to let Christ take over.
Raising Overcomers by Pastor Abidan Shah
In this message we will look at how Joseph was raised to overcome all odds and become an instrument of blessing to the whole world and his family.
Alive: What Jesus’ Resurrection Means for Us
Contrary to what many consider, the resurrection of Jesus is not some stale doctrine based on some event that took place 2000 years ago. In fact, it is one of the most applicable doctrine of Christianity.
Who Told You Life Would Be Fair? by Dr. John Check
This Sunday you will be hearing from my good friend Dr. John Check. John has pastored several churches and is currently the senior advisor to the President at North Carolina Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount. He his involved in training young people to reach our generation for Jesus Christ. He’ll be preaching from Job 1 a message titled “Who told you life would be fair?”.
Choices that Lead to Happy Endings by Pastor Abidan Shah
Jesus closes His sermon by reminding the multitudes that following him requires hard choices in life-narrow way, unpopular truth, the unglamorous life, and difficult tasks. But, the end is life, good fruits, commendation by God and a life that wins. This message will bring comfort to us when we doubt doing things God’s way.
