Even when we are walking according to God’s will, the road isn’t always easy. If we want to move forward into a new season, we must first face the obstacles in our path. Sometimes it’s other people. But more often than not, it’s usually our own weaknesses and insecurities that get in our way and hinder what God is trying to do in our lives.  On Sunday, February 27, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan shows us 6 obstacles to a new season.

Before tackling your next challenge, stop and reset. A reset focuses your mind, settles your emotions, and prepares your heart for God’s will in your life.

Sometimes we get so comfortable in our lives that we don’t even realize what a mess it’s become.

On Sunday, January 16, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan continues his sermon series, RESET, with the story of the Woman at the Well.

Too often, we take our spiritual health for granted—just content to go through life as status quo. But God has so much more for you than the status quo!

On Sunday, January 9, 2022, Pastor Chad Gilligan begins his new sermon series, RESET.
