Friends, welcome. Take a breath. Let your shoulders drop a bit.

Church can feel like a crowded dinner table where everyone brings a ...read more
Scripture: Romans 14:13
Topics: Situations, Good, Detriment
Jesus offers his own unshakeable peace to calm our anxious hearts, inviting us to trust his presence instead of giving in to fear or panic.
Some days the headlines hit like hail on a tin roof. Bills stack up, calendars crowd in, and our hearts hum with hurry. We lie awake staring at the ceiling fan, counting worries like sheep that refuse to sleep. We wonder if peace is a myth, a mirage on the horizon of a hurried life. Is there a calm ...read more

God’s mercy offers second chances, inviting us to respond in obedience and repentance, turning ordinary steps of faith into opportunities for grace and transformation.
Some of us walked in today carrying second thoughts and stale regrets. Maybe the week wore you down and your prayers felt thin. Maybe a call from God sits on your heart like a note left on the kitchen table—short, simple, and somehow weighty: Go. Speak. Forgive. Begin again. If that’s you, Jonah 3 ...read more

Jesus enters our everyday struggles proclaiming God’s good news, inviting us to turn from old ways and embrace new life under His gracious rule.
Some of us walked in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Bills are due, news feeds are noisy, hearts are heavy, and sleep has been shallow. Others arrived bursting with good news, yet even your celebration carries questions about tomorrow. Life feels like that—full and fragile at the same time. ...read more
Scripture: Mark 1:14
Topics: Kingdom Life, God's Kingdom
Jesus seeks us where we are, calls us by name, and transforms our lives with grace that leads to joyful repentance and welcome.
I wonder how many of us walked in today feeling small. Small under the weight of worries, small beside someone else’s success, small in the shadow of our own failures. We learn early how to tuck ourselves away—behind busyness, behind bravado, behind careful smiles. We wear “I’m fine” like it’s ...read more
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Topics: God's Pursuit, Our Response
Trust God to fight your battles; respond with prayer and praise, knowing His presence and power are greater than any fear or opposition you face.
Some mornings the alarm clock sounds like a starter pistol. We leap from bed straight into a race we didn’t sign up for—emails, meetings, bills, a stack of must-do’s. And then there are the battles no calendar can predict: the doctor’s report that makes your heart pound, the prodigal child who has ...read more
Scripture: 2 Chronicles 20:15, 2 Timothy 4:7-8
Topics: Spiritual Warfare, Divine Battle
God’s unwavering love secures us in every circumstance; nothing can separate us from His acceptance and care through Jesus, no matter our struggles or failures.
If you came in today carrying a quiet ache, you’re in good company. Life has a way of piling up—bills and burdens, deadlines and diagnoses, misunderstandings and midnight worries. Sometimes the questions come quicker than answers: Who stands with me? Who speaks for me? Who will see me through? The ...read more

John the Baptizer had courage to confront the darkness in people's lives and to speak into their lives that he loved with tears in his eyes and compassion about their sin.
So now we’re gonna talk about John the Baptizer. It’s not John the Baptist. John wasn’t a Baptist. He’s a baptizer. Story starts. He had a dad. He had a mom. Most kids, that’s where the story starts. John’s dad, Zechariah, was a priest, served the temple, ...read more
