This Sunday's Message

This Sunday's Message

We are often told that "anything your heart desires will come to you," but spiritual transformation requires more than just a wish—it requires the act of stepping into your divine identity. Just as the Wise Men were guided by a celestial light, we are called to recognize that the same "Star Power" shone within Jesus is present within us today. 

Join us as we explore how to move beyond facts to find Truth, push past fear with audacity, and anchor ourselves in a spiritual strength that is both steadfast and magnificent. It is time to be who you are called to be.
