Connect With God Through Movement | Chris Cheema | MC Austin

In this message, Ps. Chris explores how movement—physical, spiritual, and intentional—can connect us to God. Drawing from biblical examples, from Adam walking with God in the garden to the Israelites circling Jericho, he shows that obedience, worship, and response often require action. Movement is more than exercise or ritual; it is a declaration of trust, a path to encounter God’s presence, and a way to carry His authority. Listeners will learn how their daily steps, gestures, and intentional actions can position them to experience breakthrough, spiritual alignment, and deeper intimacy with God. Ps. Chris challenges the church to move beyond passivity, embrace obedience, and respond to God’s voice with both body and spirit.

Unity Is Required | Seth Morrow | MC Austin

In this message, Pastor Seth unpacks the power and necessity of biblical unity. Through Acts 2 and Psalm 133, he reveals that unity is not compromise or uniformity, but a spiritual oneness produced by the Holy Spirit and stewarded by God’s people.

If we want revival, we can’t just pursue an experience. We must pursue unity.
