New Way to be Human

Alcohol

Alcohol

Who or what is controlling you?

Continuing the "New Way to Be Human" series, Pastor Ken DeChant takes a deep dive into Ephesians 5:18. While the world often views alcohol as a harmless escape, scripture warns that drunkenness leads to "debauchery"—a literal loss of control. Pastor Ken reframes the conversation from "is it allowed?" to "is it wise?" by exploring how anything that regularly takes control away from us can derail our walk with Christ. This message isn't about shame; it's an invitation to a life of alertness, clear-mindedness, and true freedom found only in the Holy Spirit.

Redeeming the Time in a Broken World

In this installment of our "New Way To Be Human" series, Pastor Ken DeChant explores Ephesians 5:15-17. He challenges us to move from living "unwise" to living "wise" by being intentional and careful with how we walk. Pastor Ken breaks down the concept of Kairos—those unscheduled, God-given opportunities—and discusses three specific types of moments we must learn to "redeem": God moments, prayer moments, and serving moments. Discover how creating margin in our busy lives allows us to seize these opportunities and align ourselves with the Lord's will.

Walk in the Light

Living as a Conduit of God's Truth

In this message, Pastor Melissa Sawastuk continues our series "New Way To Be Human," diving into Ephesians 5:8-14. She explores what it practically means to "Walk in the Light," using the powerful imagery of a flashlight to illustrate how our direction, coverage, and filter affect how we reflect Christ to the world. Learn how walking in the light isn't about perfection, but about living differently so that others can see the truth and hope found in Jesus.
