Gifts, risk, and the return of the King
God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.
Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early. Headlines are heavy, homes feel hurried, and hearts can feel hollowed out by the constant ache of a hard week. We carry questions to our pews: Will the light hold? Will hope last? Does God really ...read more
Scripture: John 1:5

Because Christ is enthroned above all, believers can live with confidence, purpose, and authority, trusting their secure position and God’s ongoing work in their lives.
Friends, can we take a breath together and remember who our God is? He is the Lifter of our heads, the Steady Hand in our storms, the Shepherd who knows every scar and every sigh. Some of us walked in with tired feet and tender hearts, and the week has felt louder than our faith. But the Lord is ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 1:24-25
Topics: New Life, Exaltation
True joy and belonging are found in knowing Jesus personally, sharing fellowship with God, and experiencing His life-giving presence in everyday moments.
Have you ever noticed how the best news often arrives in the simplest package—a note on the counter, a text from a friend, a voice that says, “I’m here”? First John opens like that. It’s an old apostle’s steady hand reaching for your shoulder, a pastor’s calm voice speaking to a crowded room and a ...read more
Scripture: 1 John 1:1-4
Topics: Joyful Living, Lord's Joy
Faithful, unseen acts of kindness matter deeply to God; persist in doing good, trusting that your efforts will bear fruit in His perfect timing.
Some days feel like a long string of unnoticed kindness. A parent packing lunches after a long shift. A nurse offering a smile under a mask. A teacher giving one more call to a student who’s fallen behind. A caregiver who holds a trembling hand at midnight. Seeds of goodness go into the soil, and ...read more
Scripture: Galatians 6:9-10
Topics: Perseverance
God meets us in our need by giving Himself—our Counselor, Strength, and Father—inviting us to bring every burden to Him in prayer.
Friends, welcome. If your heart feels hurried, your calendar crowded, your mind a little muddled, you’re in the right place. The Lord meets us here—where questions hum and worries tug. Long before our schedules became so loud and life so layered, God gave us a name to whisper in weary seasons: a ...read more
Scripture: Isaiah 9:6
Topics: Jesus' Names, Messiah Titles
The sermon encourages believers to find hope, comfort, and motivation for faithful living in the promised return of Jesus and the assurance of eternal reunion.
Some promises hush a room. “I’m on my way,” is one of them. The Lord Jesus has said it. And the homesick hearts of God’s people have been listening ever since. We ache for that trumpet, we long for that shout, we yearn for that reunion where grief will be gone and goodbyes will be history. Does ...read more

The sermon emphasizes embracing authentic community, valuing each person’s presence and story, and allowing God to unite our differences into a harmonious expression of grace.
Some of you walked in today with a full heart and a tired week. You’ve carried grocery bags, deadlines, diaper pails, and the weight of headlines. Others have carried a quiet ache no one can see. Welcome. You are seen, you are loved, and you are needed. In a world that often feels frayed at the ...read more

God invites us to find true safety, peace, and courage by dwelling in His presence and trusting His faithful protection amid life’s storms.
Some of us came in today with hands full and hearts heavy. Bills on the counter, headlines on the phone, questions in the dark. Life can feel like a storm that lingers—raindrops of worry, winds of weariness. And yet, over every squall, our Father holds out an umbrella that doesn’t falter: His ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 91:1-8
Topics: Refuge, Protection
Trusting Jesus brings peace amid life’s storms, as He prepares a true home for us and invites us to reflect His welcoming love to others.
If you’ve ever come home on a rainy night, you know the relief of a porch light and a door that opens. Shoes squeak, coat drips, and someone says, "You’re here. Sit down. You’re safe." Isn’t it something how a house can feel like a hug? Smells of supper in the air, a chair pulled out just for you, ...read more

Topics: Hospitality
God is our ever-present, unfailing Helper and Keeper, offering constant care and strength amid life’s uncertainties, inviting us to trust Him completely.
Some of us walked in today with quiet questions in our hearts. How long will this last? Where will the help come from? The world can feel like a wall of hills, looming larger than our strength. When the bills stack up, when the diagnosis surprises, when the nights stretch on, the soul starts ...read more
Topics: God's Care, Hard Times
Following Jesus means daily self-denial and cross-bearing, trusting His worth and grace, and surrendering our lives to His call in every circumstance.
Friends, welcome. Some of us arrived with hurried hearts and heavy hands. Some of us smiled at the door and sighed in the seat. Wherever you are, come close. Hear the whisper of Jesus that cuts through the noise and the nagging: I see you. I love you. Walk with Me. He doesn’t wave us onward like a ...read more
