In our "1010 Anniversary" message, marking one year in our new home at 1010 Atlantic Street, Pastor Dexter reminded us that comfort and obedience aren't the same thing. Using the relatable image of a table set with course after course, he explained how settling for less than God's best leaves us content with the crumbs instead of the full meal we were actually invited to.

In the final phase of our 'Mindset Makeover' series, Pastor Dexter challenged us to pursue divine alignment with God. Using the powerful analogy of a car's wheel alignment, he explained how spiritual misalignment causes us to live unnecessarily stressful, inefficient, and shaky lives. When we are out of alignment, we 'drift' from God's path, burn through our spiritual fuel, and are unprepared to handle life's emergencies.
