Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Culture has plenty to say about who Jesus is, but who actually gets to define Him? In Week 4 of Built by God, Pastor Simon Franklin looks at Hebrews 13, Matthew 16, John 14, and other biblical passages to challenge us to build our understanding of Jesus on Scripture rather than culture. This message is a call to know Jesus for who He truly is, surrender every area of our lives to His lordship, and give Him first place.

If you're in Albany, Leesburg, or the surrounding area, we'd love for you to join us on a Sunday at 10am. The Church at The Groves exists to see lives transformed, families restored, and a community awakened to walk boldly in God's calling. Our vision is to lead people into a growing relationship with God, helping them know Him deeply, experience His freedom, discover their purpose, and live it out with real impact.
