Life with Jesus is life with His family, and biblical community is something we’re called to intentionally pursue. In Acts 2, we see the early church gathering in both the temple and homes, building community through five simple patterns: eat, pray, play, share resources, and share a mission. Community doesn’t just happen, it takes persevering commitment, but it’s also one of the ways Jesus forms…
Work can often feel like something we just have to get through, but what if God designed work to be so much more? In this message, we’ll explore how our identity, calling, and vocation come together, and how every kind of work can be an opportunity to serve others and worship God. From parenting to teaching, creating, building, caring, and leading, God invites us to work alongside Him for the good…
We had the privilege of learning from Pastor Austin from Beloved Church this Sunday! He led us through the book of Malachi, reminding us of God’s faithful love and His invitation to return to Him with our whole hearts. We were challenged to consider what we’re giving to God and whether we’re offering Him our best or simply what’s left over. Ultimately, Malachi points us to Jesus, who meets us in…
Have you ever walked through a season that felt dry, hopeless, or beyond repair? This week's message reminds us that even in the middle of devastation, God is calling His people back to Himself. Through the book of Joel, we're reminded that God doesn't simply restore what was lost—He restores hearts that turn to Him. No matter where you've been or what you're carrying, His invitation remains the…
When life doesn't make sense, it's okay to bring your honest questions and frustrations to God. Looking at the book of Habakkuk, we see that while God welcomes our complaints, He also invites us to trust His heart even when we can't understand His plans. Our circumstances may not change immediately, but worship shifts our perspective, reminding us that God is faithful, sovereign, and worthy of our…
What does God really desire from His people? The book of Amos reminds us that worship isn't just about the songs we sing on Sunday—it's about how we love, serve, and seek justice throughout the week. God calls His people to hate evil, love good, and care for those who are overlooked. As followers of Jesus, our faith should move beyond words into action, reflecting God's heart for righteousness and…
God doesn't just hate sin, He loves you. This Sunday, Brian kicked off our new series, Love in the Minor Keys, by looking at the book of Hosea. Through Hosea's story, we're reminded that our sin isn't just about breaking rules, it breaks the heart of a God who deeply desires a relationship with us. Yet even when we choose other things over Him, God never stops pursuing us. Just as Hosea bought…
Prayer is easy when answers come quickly. It's much harder when heaven seems silent. In Luke 18, Jesus tells the parable of the persistent widow to remind us to keep praying and not lose heart. This message explores why God invites us to persevere in prayer, what it means when His timing doesn't match ours, and how biblical hope gives us the strength to keep trusting even when we don't yet see the…
What do you do when you have a need, a prayer, or a situation you desperately want God to change? This Sunday, Sara explored the story of Bartimaeus and Jesus' prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, challenging us to consider two questions: What do you want God to do? and Can you trust Him with the outcome? As we learn to bring our requests honestly and specifically before God, we're also invited to…
In John 17, we get a unique glimpse into Jesus’ prayer to the Father just hours before the cross, and remarkably, He’s praying for us. Toran's message explores the deep love of Christ, the unity He desires for His followers, and the invitation to know God personally through Him. As we experience God’s love, we’re transformed and called to reflect that same love to others. Jesus’ prayer reminds us…
What if your confidence in prayer isn't supposed to come from how well you pray, but from who is listening? This message explores Jesus' teaching on prayer in Luke 11, revealing that prayer is not about performance, perfect words, or spiritual eloquence—it's about trusting the character of a loving and honorable Father. Through powerful stories, cultural insights, and Jesus' own words, we're…
