The sermon urges us to embrace God’s Word even when it challenges us, reminding us true faith means letting God, not ourselves, define truth.

God meets us in our questions and ordinary moments, inviting us to respond in faith, obedience, and public confession through Jesus Christ.
Some of the most beautiful moments in Scripture happen on ordinary roads. Dust on the sandals. Sun on the horizon. A heart with honest questions.

The sun coming up over a field that’s waiting for seed, a foundation ready for bricks, and God inviting ordinary people—people ...read more

Worship is offering our whole, everyday lives to God, allowing His mercy to transform us so we bear fruit and reflect Christ in all we do.
Friends, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of you showed up with a smile, others with a sigh, and the Lord receives you just the same. He gathers us like a good Father gathers children at the table—hungry, hurried, hopeful. Grace has a way of finding us in the in-between: between loads of ...read more

There are moments in Scripture when God doesn’t whisper purpose—He shakes it into the bones of His people. And one of those moments erupts in 1 Samuel 17 when a young shepherd boy, overlooked by his family and underestimated by everyone else, stands on a battlefield and shouts a question that ...read more
