We also look at Esther’s story and discover that, just like her, we have been placed here for a bigger purpose.

This week, Pastor Alex brought a powerful message as we wrapped up our Summer Playlist series with “Shallow” by Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. A surprising yet meaningful reminder that we were made for more than surface-level living.

Through Revelation 3, we’re reminded of Jesus’ call to move beyond comfort and into full surrender. The world may say success is found in status, wealth, and influence, but Jesus flips the script:

“You weren’t made for the shallow. You were made for surrender.”

If you’ve ever felt stuck in the shallow, spiritually dry, or just goi...

“When you know the purpose of God on your life, it doesn’t matter what your circumstances look like.”

Happy Easter from The Ark Church!
Today we celebrate the truth that because Jesus is alive, hope is alive.

Pastor John walks us through the Easter story in Luke 24, reminding us that even when dreams feel dead and faith feels distant, the resurrection changes everything.
Jesus didn’t just defeat death—He offers new life, healing, forgiveness, and a future to everyone who believes.
As Pastor John said, “If the tomb is empty, anything is possible.”

No matter where you’ve been or what you’re walking through:
✨ God hasn’t forgotten you.

“There are things in life you can’t measure—but they matter more than you think.”

In Week 3 of our Locker Room Lessons series, Pastor John reminds us that the things that truly set us apart—hunger, humility, and hustle—can’t be measured on a stat sheet.

Looking at 1 Samuel 16 and the story of David, we’re reminded that while people focus on the outward, “God looks at the heart.” Even when no one else sees it, God does.

📖 “Something always has to change in the spiritual realm before it changes in the natural realm.”
