Who’s in Your Car? – " 1 + 1 = 1 " Series Week 2 Feb. 2026

In Week 2 of Who’s in Your Car?, Kelsey Melton challenges us to examine the relationships influencing our direction and devotion. Marriage was never designed to be a transaction—it’s a covenant built on shared surrender, not control. Looking at Samson and Delilah, we see the danger of choosing chemistry over covenant. Passion without purpose leads to collapse, and ignoring red flags isn’t love—it’s self-deception. The world pressures us to compromise our values, but we were never called to live according to others’ expectations. Love doesn’t ignore warning signs; it protects calling rather than exploiting it. Kelsey reminds us that true oneness begins with vertical alignment with God, because vertical alignment precedes horizontal unity. When Adam saw Eve, he saw himself—no shame, no separation—because they were one. But drifting from God weakens every relationship we hold. Even in failure, God redeems. He restores what’s broken and calls us back to covenant love. This week’s challenge: Evaluate your relationships. If you’re withdrawing but never depositing, something must change—fruitfulness requires mutual investment. Start with personal accountability.

"1+1=1" - Week One – Biblical Marriage with Lindsey & Kelsey Melton

1+1=1 | Week One – Biblical Marriage (Panel with Lindsey & Kelsey Melton) We’re kicking off our brand new February series, 1+1=1, where we’re diving into relationships, marriage, dating, singleness—and everything in between. In Week One, Pastor Lindsey and Kelsey sit down for a live panel conversation on biblical marriage—what it is, what it isn’t, and why God’s design still matters in 2026. This isn’t surface-level advice or cultural commentary. It’s an honest, Scripture-centered look at: • What “two becoming one” really means • Covenant vs. contract • Unity without losing individuality • Spiritual leadership and mutual submission • How marriage reflects Christ and the Church • What healthy foundations look like before you ever say “I do” Whether you’re married, dating, single, engaged, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to see relationships through the lens of God’s design instead of culture’s expectations. Because 1 + 1 was never meant to equal 2. In God’s Kingdom, it equals 1. Listen in and lean in. This series is going to shape the way we love. 💍✨

“As It Is in Heaven” (Week 3): Participation — 2026 Vision Series

Snowmegedon had us all tempted to see heaven as an escape plan. But Jesus never taught us to pray for evacuation — He taught us to pray for manifestation. In Week Three of our 2026 Vision Series, we unpack what it really means to pray, “On earth as it is in Heaven.” Heaven was never meant to replace earth — earth was created to mirror heaven. Jesus invites us into three realities: Alignment, Embodiment, and Participation. This week we lean into Participation — cooperating with God’s reign, sharing in the divine life, and living as His coworkers right here in Lexington. We explore: • What it means to work with God instead of against His rule • Practical and mystical ways we participate in His kingdom • The powerful truth that we are now God’s dwelling place • How sharing in His divine nature changes everything You don’t just believe in heaven. You carry it. This message will challenge you to see your everyday obedience, your quiet prayers, your forgiveness, and your courage as participation in the life of God Himself. Because heaven isn’t waiting at the end of your life — it’s unfolding through you now. Listen in and be reminded: We are His field. We are His coworkers. And we are invited into a shared life — koinonia — with the Father, Son, and Spirit. As it is in Heaven… let it be here.

“As It Is in Heaven” (Week Two): Embodiment — 2026 Vision Series

Heaven isn’t our escape plan—it’s our reference point. In Week Two, we unpack Romans 12:1–2 and Jesus’ teaching in Mark 4 to see how God’s Kingdom grows—not through striving or control, but through transformation. The Spirit renews our minds (metamorpho), changing the lens through which we see reality so our lives begin to reflect God’s will. Embodiment means God’s will becomes visible in how we live. In a world shaped by power, performance, and self-promotion, we’re called to something different: humility over image, service over control, grace over performance, mercy over retaliation. The Kingdom doesn’t grow through escape—it grows one heart at a time through embodied obedience.

Sunday Morning Spontaneous Jan 18th

Join us for a spirit-led time with Jesus!

As it is in Heaven WEEK ONE

2026 Vision Series — “As It Is in Heaven” (Week One) What if heaven—not culture, habit, or survival mode—set the standard for how we live? In week one of our 2026 Vision Series, we explore Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6:10 and discover that “on earth as it is in heaven” is an invitation to alignment, not escape. Jesus shows us the Father’s standard, and we’re called to mirror what we see in Him—in our parenting, our love, and our work. This message centers on abiding in Christ (John 15:4), returning to True North when life slowly pulls us out of alignment. Religion says try harder—Jesus says stay connected. If you’re tired of striving and ready to live from who you already are in Christ, this message is for you. 🎧 Listen and realign your life to live on earth as it is in heaven.

Epiphany Sunday 2026

Feast of Epiphany 2026 | Worthy of Everything In this Epiphany message, we reflect on the visit of the Magi and the revelation of Jesus not just to Israel—but to the world. Known in the East as Theophany, Epiphany reveals Christ as fully human and fully divine, the manifested Son of God. From Matthew 2:1–12, we see that the Magi did something once that we are invited into daily: they turned their attention toward Jesus and gave Him their worship. Long before they bowed physically, they had already bowed in their hearts. They were convinced that this King was worthy of their time, travel, treasures, and hearts. This sermon challenges us to examine what we truly believe Jesus is worth. Is He worthy of our first moments in the morning? Worth the gathering with God’s people on random nights during the week? Worth trusting Him with our finances, comforts, and control? As we begin a corporate 21-Day Fast, we’re reminded that fasting isn’t about impressing God or getting things from Him—it’s about re-aligning our lives around Him. Rooted in Proverbs 4:23 and Psalms 37:5, this message leads us to an altar-call moment of surrender—yielding our world to God rather than trying to bring God into ours. Prayer is not us inviting God into our plans. Prayer is yielding our plans to God. The question Epiphany leaves us with is simple—but searching: Are you convinced that Jesus is worthy of your everything? 🎧 Listen, reflect, and allow the Spirit to redirect your heart.

"Real Love" Week 4 - Advent 2025 Series

The angels didn’t announce a feeling — they announced a Person. In Week 4 of Advent, we light the Angel’s Candle and lean into a truth that reshapes how we understand love: God doesn’t send love… He becomes it. Drawing from Luke 2:8–14 and Jesus’ words in John 15:13, this message reveals that biblical love isn’t sentimental or shallow — it’s incarnational, self-giving, and costly. From the manger to the cross, Scripture shows us that love is proven not by words, but by wounds. This is agape love — love that bleeds, love that lays itself down, love that moves toward people instead of away from pain. Written to a church under pressure, John’s reminder still speaks powerfully to our moment today: the answer to fear, false gods, and fading loyalty has always been love shaped like a cross. Christmas isn’t soft — it’s strategic. The wood of the manger points forward to the wood of the cross. And the God who put on flesh and laid Himself in a feeding trough is still stepping into ordinary, messy places today. Is there a “manger” in your life where you need God to dwell? This message invites you to see love clearly, receive it deeply, and live it boldly.

"Fullness of Joy" - Advent WK3 2025

What if joy isn’t something you manage… but something you abide in? In Week 3 of our Advent series, we turn to Luke 2:8–20 and the story of the shepherds—men who were no strangers to sacrifice, loss, and longing. These were not ordinary shepherds. By the work of their hands, they had spent their lives tending lambs meant to temporarily cover sin. But on that night outside Bethlehem, they beheld the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world forever. This message confronts a common misconception: that joy is found in comfort, ease, or fleeting moments of happiness. The joy the world offers leaks away—but God-given joy is eternal. True joy flows from the revelation of how broken we once were and the overwhelming grace that made us whole again. Through Jesus’ parables in Luke 15, we see the heart of God—a Shepherd who refuses to leave one sheep behind, a Woman who searches relentlessly for one lost coin, a Father who runs toward his lost son. Their celebration wasn’t performance; it was the physical expression of hearts made whole again. For the joy of restored fellowship with humanity, Jesus endured the cross—canceling every accusation, erasing every record of sin, and securing everlasting wholeness for us. Joy is not: • Constant happiness • Emotional excitement • The absence of pain Joy is: • Abiding union with God • Wholeness of the inner life • Rested delight in God Himself As Psalm 16:11 declares, “In Your presence is fullness of joy.” This sermon reminds us: true joy reaches fullness not when life feels right, but when our lives are rightly aligned in the presence of God.

"Peace" - Advent 2025 WEEK 2

In Week Two of our Advent journey, we turn our hearts toward Peace—symbolized by the Bethlehem Candle. Advent calls us to wait, expect, celebrate, and prepare spiritually for the arrival of Someone of infinite importance: Emmanuel, God with us. Pastor Lindsey walks us through Luke 2:1–7, showing how God used a Roman census law to move Joseph and Mary 90 rugged miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem—fulfilling a 700-year-old prophecy from Micah 5:2 with divine precision. While Michael Jackson once described a “smooth criminal” as someone who moves silently and skillfully, today we see how our God is the true Master of Smooth, weaving His redemption plan through empires, geography, and generations. We explore the difficulty of the journey—backroads, hills, danger, and a 9-month-pregnant Mary climbing 2,500 feet of Judean terrain—and then lift the veil through Revelation 12 to glimpse the spiritual warfare surrounding Christ’s birth. Even in the unseen realm, God was guiding with one hand and protecting with the other. Bethlehem may have seemed insignificant to people, yet it stood central in God’s redemptive plan. Nearly 1,000 years had passed since the promises made to David, and hope had faded. No one was expecting the arrival of the Savior of the world—the One Scripture calls the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6–7). In this episode we proclaim that Jesus alone brings restored wholeness between God and humanity. Peace is not passive—it’s the spiritual harmony established through Christ’s life, death, burial, and resurrection. This restored wholeness becomes the foundation upon which we build every part of our lives—not on our strength, intelligence, income, status, or networks. Jesus alone makes us whole, and wholeness is where peace begins.
