The Holy Spirit changes everything! In Part 2 of Called to Gather, Pastor Ben Miller explores Acts 2 and the day of Pentecost, revealing how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into bold witnesses for Jesus.

Called to Gather - Part 1
God has called us to an extraordinary mission, but He never intended us to accomplish it in our own strength.
In Week 1 of Called to Gather: A Study Through the Book of Acts, Lead Pastor Ben Miller takes us into Acts 1 to discover how Jesus is building His Church and empowering ordinary people through the Holy Spirit to fulfill His purposes.
Through this message, we are reminded that following Jesus isn't about trying harder or doing more on our own. It's about surrendering to the Holy Spirit, receiving His power, and stepping into the mission God has given us. We aren't empowered to build our own thing. We are empowered to be part of what Jesus is building!

Offered: To God | Part 1
In Offered Part 1, Pastor Nichole Crowley launches Joy Church’s new sermon series through Romans 12 with a message on what it means to give God your whole life. Romans 12:1–2 shows us that because of God’s mercy, worship is more than a Sunday moment, it becomes our lifestyle. This message explores three movements of an offered life: presenting ourselves to God, becoming a living sacrifice, and letting God transform the way we think and live. Because Jesus gave His whole life for us, we can offer our whole lives back to Him in surrender, worship, and trust.
Finding the New Self
In Finding the New Self, Gina Detweiler teaches from the story of Gideon in Judges 6–8 to show how God meets us in the false labels and old patterns that have shaped our identity. Gideon saw God wrongly, saw himself as weak and insignificant, and responded by hiding in fear, but God called him a mighty warrior and invited him into a new story. This message reminds us that we do not have to keep wearing labels God never gave us. As we remain with Jesus, allow Him to renew our minds, and replace lies with the truth of God’s Word, we can begin to see ourselves the way God sees us: loved, accepted, free, and created with purpose.
