The call for Antioch Waco is to be a Jeremiah 29:7 people who seek the welfare of their city while maintaining proper kingdom priorities. Just as Jesus stayed rooted in His small-town neighborhood to work out principles that could be reproduced anywhere, believers in Waco are called to love their city, pray for its leaders, and engage every sphere of society.

R&R | The Sower and the Seed | Matthew 4:19
This sermon challenges the traditional divide between "sacred" church work and "secular" professions. In it, Dorothy Abshire shares a personal revelation from God about tearing down the wall between sacred and secular, and that all believers carry the Holy Spirit into their workplaces, transforming ordinary jobs into sacred ministry. Just as Jesus called fishermen to continue fishing but with a new purpose—catching men instead of fish—God calls us to our professions with Kingdom purposes. The workplace becomes our mission field where we represent Christ, demonstrate excellence, and sow seeds of the gospel.

R&R | Stewards of God’s Kingdom | Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, Pastor Mick Murray explores the foundational identity of all believers as stewards - people who faithfully manage the property and resources of another. Drawing from Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:15, he reveals that from the very beginning, God commissioned humanity not just for salvation, but for dominion - to take disordered spaces and create order so that life might flourish. This original Great Commission precedes even Jesus's command to make disciples, establishing that our calling to steward God's creation with benevolent care is woven into the fabric of our design as image-bearers.

Witness in the World: Living as Christ's Ambassadors
This message is a powerful reminder that God is actively working through His people as witnesses who share the Gospel in both word and deed. It emphasizes that our calling as ambassadors of Christ is dependent on the Holy Spirit’s power to be lived out effectively in our local communities, our nation and throughout the world.

to stir people toward love and good deeds
and ultimately to magnify the Lord Jesus Christ.
