This Week's Message

The Jesus Way
Senior Pastor Dr. Phil Willingham
This message focuses on discipleship as a way of life, not just a set of beliefs. Drawing from Mark 1:16–18 and Matthew 11:28–29, Senior Pastor Dr. Phil Willingham teaches that following Jesus is personal, immediate, and transformational. Discipleship is not about information—it’s about imitation.
The sermon challenges us to examine what we’re holding onto that may be limiting where Jesus wants to lead us. When we release our “nets” in obedience, Jesus replaces them with purpose. Discipleship is about formation, not performance—true rest is found in alignment with Jesus, not pressure or religious striving. As we learn to be with Jesus, we are empowered by the Spirit to live on mission, allowing transformation to lead to multiplication. God isn’t looking for ability, but availability, as He calls us to follow, be formed, and be sent.
