This four-week series calls our church to move from attending to belonging—from showing up on Sundays to building a spiritual home together. In Heart for the House, we look at how the early church in Acts lived with deep devotion: learning together, sharing life, praying with power, and meeting needs in their community. Each week, we’ll unpack what it means to be fully engaged in the life of the church—through small groups, serving, giving, and reaching others. It’s a vision for what happens when we give our hearts to God’s house—when the church becomes more than a building we go to, but a family we grow with and a mission we live for.
In this powerful kickoff to our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Mike Breaux challenges us to stop putting off the life God is calling us to live.
Drawing from Acts 4, this message is a direct invitation to move from spiritual boredom to a life marked by purpose, courage, and obedience to Jesus.
This message unpacks:
Sin is slavery — It promises freedom but ultimately controls and destroys
Baptism is a transfer of ownership — You were buried with Christ and raised into a new life
Your new life is not your own — You were bought at a price
You are alive to God now — No longer defined by your old life
Real change happens through surrender — Giving every part of your life to God
In Part 1 of this two-week series, Pastor Ryan walks through Romans 6 and what it really means to be buried with Christ in baptism. This isn’t just a symbol or a moment—it’s a turning point. A line in the sand where the old life is left behind.
