In Part 4 of The Invitation series, Pastor Alvin Love III reveals that God is inviting us into a legacy of faith. From the beginning of Scripture, God has always worked through family and lineage. His people are connected by one defining trait: faith. A faith that pursues God’s promises even when they cannot yet be seen. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and Hebrews 12, this message reminds us that when we say yes to Jesus, we are welcomed into God’s family and entrusted with carrying that legacy forward. Though the journey of faith includes hardship and endurance, Jesus remains the author and finisher of our faith. Discover why faith is God’s family legacy, why perseverance matters, and why your life is part of a much bigger story.

In Part 3 of The Invitation series, Pastor Alvin Love III shares a Christmas message centered on God’s heart for family. While Jesus is the Messiah, King of Kings, and Savior, Scripture also calls Him the Son. And that distinction reveals the purpose of His coming. Through Jesus, God is inviting humanity back into His family. Drawing from Isaiah 9, Matthew 7, John 8, and Romans 8, this message shows that God’s desire has always been togetherness. Not distance. Not religion. Family. Natural families are a gift, but they last only a lifetime. God’s family, formed through adoption in Christ, lasts forever. Discover why Jesus is the invitation, why belonging is the goal, and why accepting the Son is the only way home.  Scripture references: Isaiah 9:6 Matthew 7:11 John 8:44 Romans 8:14-17 Isaiah 55 Romans 8:38-39 ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

In the second installment of our series, The Invitation, Pastor Alvin explores the vital distinction between being "free from" something and being "free for" someone. Drawing from the story of Moses and the Israelites, this message reveals a powerful truth: God didn’t liberate His people just so they could live however they pleased; He set them free so they could finally belong to Him. In this episode, we confront the reality that every person is choosing between two masters—one that offers fleeting pleasure ending in destruction, and another that offers a narrow road leading to life, rest, and eternal joy.    Scripture References: Isaiah 43:19 Galatians 5:1 John 8:36 2 Corinthians 3:17 Exodus 1:8 1 Corinthians 7:21-23 John 10:10 Matthew 11:28-30   ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

In the kickoff to our new series, The Invitation, Pastor Alvin dives into Isaiah 55 to explore the profound offer God extends to every believer. We often want the blessing of abundance without the discomfort of change, but true spiritual fullness always begins with a moment of radical honesty. Before we can receive what God has prepared, He lovingly confronts us with a difficult truth: our current life isn't as good as it could be. This message challenges us to trade the familiar for the extraordinary—humbly letting go of a comfortable lifestyle to lay hold of the eternal, abundant life God has waiting for us.   Scripture References: Isaiah 55:2-13 Matthew 9:12 Luke 17:32    ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

Are you holding back a piece of your heart from God? Pastor CeCe Love returns with a powerful message that challenges the comfort of partial commitment. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Revelation 3, and Jesus’ own words, she argues that "all in" isn't extreme—it’s the only response worthy of a God who gave everything for us. In this awakening episode, you’ll discover why: Partial love can be a form of betrayal. Lukewarm faith is inherently dangerous. True discipleship means doing the Father's will. Prepare to examine your allegiance and be encouraged to live a life of total surrender that blesses generations to come. If you're ready to follow Jesus with your whole heart, this message is for you.   Scripture references: Deuteronomy 6:5-15 Revelation 3:15-16 Matthew 12:30 James 4:17 Jeremiah 29:11 Deuteronomy 30:6   ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

In Part 3 of The Merge, Pastor Alvin teaches that salvation is more than forgiveness—it’s a trade. We lay down our life and receive His. And with His life comes His mission, His obedience, and His heart for people. To live the life of Christ is to desire what the Father desires: that none should perish and all would come to repentance. And through seven simple steps, we learn how to share that life with others.

In Part 1 of our brand-new series, The Merge, Pastor Alvin challenges the common view of salvation as merely escaping punishment. Instead, he invites us to see it as something far more profound: a total, transformative merging of your life with Christ. This is the radical choice to surrender everything and live fully as a "living sacrifice." Following Jesus isn't a casual commitment; it requires us to count the cost and confidently believe that His will is infinitely greater than any comfort or desire we might have to give up. Discover why Jesus’ invitation to follow him is never without commitment—and why those "strings attached" are actually the foundation of the most abundant, good news you'll ever receive. Scripture references: Hebrews 12:2 Romans 12:1-2 John 15:6 Luke 14:25-33

Pastor Alvin III kicks off our new series with a powerful challenge: Is salvation just about being saved from something, or is it about being joined to Someone? True salvation is the merging of your life with Christ. This isn't passive—it's the choice to surrender all and live as a living sacrifice. Discover why following Jesus means intentionally counting the cost and believing His will is greater than anything you could give up. Plus, learn why Jesus' invitation to follow Him comes with "strings attached"—and why that's actually the best news ever.    Scripture references: Hebrews 12:2 Romans 12:1-2 John 15:6 Luke 14:25-33   We’d love to hear from you!

This week, we wrap up our series The Kingdom of God with a vital reminder: your identity as a son or daughter comes with authority and purpose. Through Jesus, humanity's dominion has been restored, and we're called to partner with God to see His will done on earth as it is in Heaven.

In this impactful second installment of The Kingdom of God series, Pastor Alvin cuts straight to the heart of the matter: how humanity swapped its God-given dominion for rebellion—a "sin trade" that forfeited the authority we were created to possess. This exchange had a greater impact than we can imagine, but the good news is that Jesus came to restore our dominion and correct our trajectory on earth. Jesus taught that the Kingdom isn't a theory to discuss; it's a power to demonstrate. Tune in to learn practical steps for how you can reclaim your God-given authority, break free from what once held you back, and begin living today as an authentic representative of Heaven right here on Earth.   Scripture References: Mark 1: 14-15 Genesis 1: 26-28 Matthew 4:23 Matthew 16:19 Romans 13:1 James 5:14-16     ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

Pastor Alvin kicks off this new series, The kingdom of God, teaching us the BIG 3 (what, who, and why) of the kingdom and how it pertains to our lives. Part 1, subtitled, "Seek First the Kingdom", is the introduction to the series, asking the major question, "What is the kingdom and what does it have to do with my life?" and "What about the kingdom makes it the first thing we should seek as believers?". From the beginning, we were created to mirror God’s authority on earth—but sin traded that for darkness. Now through Jesus, the Kingdom has been brought back to us. Tune as Pastor Alvin explains WHY we must seek the kingdom of first and how prioritizing the Kingdom changes everything and restores us to God.     Scripture References: Mark 1: 14-15 Genesis 1: 26-28   ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

God made us perfectly and with love—but sin left us unable to please Him. Just like a cake ruined by poison can’t simply be fixed, our lives can’t just be edited or improved. Through Jesus, we are given a brand-new start—a spiritual rebirth where His Spirit rules over every part of us. In this kickoff message of our new series, "You Must Be Born Again", Pastor Alvin III teaches us why Jesus said we must be born again and what that truly means for our lives.  This message lays the foundation for the life God intended: not just knowing Jesus as Savior, but surrendering to Him as Lord.
