This weekend, Pastor Ken walked us through Matthew 6:9-13 and reminded us that prayer isn’t a performance or a last resort—it’s a conversation with God. Using the Lord’s Prayer, he showed how prayer flows from real connection, inviting us to come as we are, honest and unfiltered, to a good Father who loves us. We were encouraged to approach God as sinners saved by grace and as sons and daughters who trust him for daily provision, forgiveness, and strength.

As we conclude our Advent series on Joy, Pastor Mike walks us through Revelation 21, pointing us to the joy of our future in Christ. He reminds us that our hope is not uncertain or temporary, but firmly rooted in God’s promises. Through the vision of a new heaven and a new earth, we’re invited to lift our eyes beyond present struggles and rediscover the deep joy that comes from knowing the end of the story—where God dwells with His people, every tear is wiped away, and joy lasts forever.

As we continue our Advent series on Joy, Pastor Joe walks us through the story of the shepherds in Luke 2, highlighting the joy of sharing Jesus. He reminds us that the gospel is news—not advice—good news meant for everyone. Through the shepherds’ unlikely role in the Christmas story, we’re invited to rediscover the joy that comes from knowing Jesus, being known by him, and sharing that hope freely with others.

As we continue our Advent series on Joy, Pastor Zach walks us through the story of the wise men in Matthew 2, showing how even the most familiar Christmas passages still hold surprising depth. He explores the source, the reach, and the path of true joy as revealed in their journey to Jesus. This message reminds us that joy begins when we see Jesus clearly, respond in worship, and let his story reshape our own.

As we kick off our Advent series on Joy, Pastor Joe reminds us that Advent is about far more than holiday noise–it’s about the healing Jesus brings into a broken world. Looking at Mary’s song in Luke 1, he explains how something clicked for her between fear and overwhelming joy as she realized who God really is. Mary saw that God is mighty, holy, and merciful–and that truth changed everything for her.

This weekend, Pastor Mike walked us through Psalm 136 and reminded us that real gratitude begins when we shift our focus–looking up to who God is, not just what we have. He showed how the Psalm leads us to look up, look back, and look ahead, anchoring our thankfulness in God’s unchanging character and enduring love.

This weekend, Pastor Jimmy reminded us that Romans 10 gives incredible clarity about who Jesus is and how we can know God. That clarity creates real urgency—because while everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, many around us still haven’t heard. And that urgency is what drives us to action through church planting, so more people have the opportunity to hear, believe, and call on Jesus.
