Trouble. We’ve all experienced it, and perhaps, endured it. But as Charles Tapp explains, you don’t truly know how strong your faith is until it’s been tested in those tough moments.

This week, Charles Tapp offers a solution when these issues arise as he shares the second part in this series "When In Rome," with his message "Rise, Kill, Eat."
You've heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." But how does the Church find unity when there are others who come from other backgrounds, or might do things differently than we do? Charles Tapp tackles this question, and explains how the early church dealt with these very same issues, as he shares the first part in a new series of messages titled "When In Rome" with part 1, Rooted and Grounded."
There has never been a time in history when we haven't been in search of freedom. And this week, Charles Tapp helps make it clear that the search for the ultimate freedom begins and ends--not with people or the powers of this world--but with Jesus, as he shares his message "Free At Last."

God is calling his followers into the world to serve in the dark places where light and hope are needed most. This week, Charles Tapp examines just how powerful the gospel really can be when the church becomes determined, not just to tell people about it, but to show it to them as well. As he continues with the fourth part in this series, "Going Beyond the Walls," with his message "Show and Tell."

In the book of James in the Bible, he points out that words don't mean much if we have the ability to do more.

With part 2: The Work of Faith.
It's not easy to be thankful when you're in the midst of trials. But as Charles Tapp explains today, living by faith is more about having hope for the future than fixing your current situation. And he begins a series of messages "We've Come This Far by Faith" that will go deep into what living a life of faith should look like, with part one: A Walk of Faith.
