  • Life That is Really Life

    It's easy to get caught in the pursuit of "the good life" as defined by society, advertising, and algorithms, but this easily turns into endlessly chasing after more. If we want to really experience what the Scriptures call "the life that is really life," we need to shift our focus wanting what we don't have to gratitude for all God has blessed us with.

    Life with Jesus is not about arriving at perfection, but a journey of going ever deeper and experiencing greater and greater freedom, one day at a time.

  • The Power of Forgiveness
    Steps 8 and 9 of the Twelve Steps call us to restore relationships through forgiveness and making amends. The story of Zacchaeus shows that true spiritual growth comes when we take responsibility for our actions, seek reconciliation, and release resentment so peace and joy can take root.

  • No Pretending, No Presuming, No Pushing
    This message explores Step Seven of the Twelve Steps—humbly asking God to remove our shortcomings—as a path toward genuine humility and transformation. We’re reminded that growth takes time and that God works best through hearts that are open and willing. When we stop pretending, presuming, and pushing, we make room for God to use our struggles to shape our character and draw us closer to the person we’re created to be.

  • God Change Me, But Not Yet
    Real transformation begins when we stop trying to manage our own lives and become entirely ready for God to remove what holds us back. The journey of faith isn’t about perfection but willingness—offering our character defects, fears, and defenses to God and trusting Him to bring change in His time. True freedom comes when we replace old habits with new ones rooted in love, humility, and joy.

  • The Gift of Acceptance Is Waiting for You
    Confession is the sacred act of telling the truth about ourselves — to God, to ourselves, and to another person — so that we can be set free. Step Five invites us to move from hiding to healing, discovering that our stories, no matter how broken, are still sacred and redeemable.

  • Grudges & Fears
    Life brings pain, but God can transform it into redemptive growth when we face it honestly. By naming our grudges and fears, we open ourselves to God’s healing power, discovering that nothing can separate us from His love.

  • Willfulness vs Willingness
    We heard a testimony about what it means to turn one’s life over to God’s care, alongside a reflection on Step 3: deciding to entrust our will and lives to Christ. The message reminds us that surrender is not weakness but a bold act of faith—choosing to believe God is able to carry what we cannot. It encourages us to release our fears, lean on God’s strength, and take the next step of trust in our own journeys.

  • God Can!
    We are powerless to fix our deepest struggles on our own, but God can. Step Two of the Twelve Steps invites us to believe in a Power greater than ourselves who restores us to sanity—bringing perspective, healing, and hope. Faith doesn’t require certainty, only openness to God’s presence and purpose in our lives.

  • No Perfect People Allowed
    We launched our new 12-week series, Stepping into Life Together, with a message from Luke 15 that highlights the problem of the older brother—someone unable to accept the Father’s love. The invitation is to take Step One of the 12 Steps: to admit our lives are unmanageable and we need help. God meets us even in desperation, turning our honesty into the first step toward grace, healing, and life together.
