BayLife 5th Anniversary

During our Global Missions Conference, we’ve talked about Gateway Cities — unique and strategic places advancing the gospel. But Scripture makes it clear: cities aren’t the only gateways… we are.

God has entrusted us with the message of reconciliation. We are His ambassadors. That means our lives are the strategy. Being a gateway requires sacrifice, courage, and living for eternal reward — but it’s how the world meets Jesus.

Global Missions Conference- Week 1

BayLife’s first Global Conference marks an exciting new chapter as we step into an intentional global mission after five years of church planting on the Eastern Shore. Rooted in Scripture and modeled after the missionary strategy of the Apostle Paul, this message lays out God’s clear plan for global evangelism: we’ve been given a message, a mandate, and a strategy. This vision calls us beyond comfort and invites us to invest our lives, generosity, and prayers so the gospel can transform cities and generations around the world.

Big Faith: Week 4

Big Faith grows when we cooperate with God.
In Week 3 of our Big Faith series, we focused on the third faith catalyst: private disciplines. While none of us love the word discipline, the truth is that disciplines are simply habits we can control to help us experience outcomes we can’t control. Spiritually, they don’t create faith—but they position us to cooperate with what God is already doing in us.

You can’t create big faith—but you can cooperate with God as He develops it.

Big Faith: Week 2

God uses providential relationships to steady our faith, fuel our growth, and keep us accountable. Relationships are never neutral—they shape the direction and quality of our faith. When we surround ourselves with the right people (and become that person for others), God grows our faith bigger than we ever could alone

Big Faith: Week 1

We all live by faith in something—but big faith comes from trusting God and doing what He says. Faith starts small, but when God’s truth is heard and applied, it grows into an unshakable foundation. Big faith trusts God with the impossible, endures the storms of life, and lives with confidence knowing God is with us. Big faith isn’t built in the storm—it’s built daily through obedience.

God’s Council

Using the story of Joshua, this message reminds us that God’s counsel is available, protective, and consequential. When we seek the Lord’s wisdom, it guards us from costly mistakes—but when we ignore it, our choices still carry weight. The challenge is simple: don’t move forward on your own understanding—ask God first and trust His counsel.
