Step beyond the familiar nativity scene and into the often-overlooked moment when the wise men arrive. An event that reveals far more about Jesus than we usually realize. The news of a newborn King sparked very different responses: Herod clinging to control, religious leaders who knew the right answers but stayed distant, and wise men who approached with joy, worship, and meaningful gifts. Their gift of gold points us to Jesus’ true identity as the King who came to reign. This message invites us to reflect on our own response and ask the personal question at the heart of Christmas: Is Jesus my King?

In this week’s message, we walk through Psalm 13, one of Scripture’s clearest pictures of biblical lament. David shows us that lament isn’t just complaining; it’s grief with God. We look honestly at what it means to bring our real feelings to a real God, how lament keeps us from the traps of despair and denial, and how it anchors us in God’s unchanging character. Psalm 13 teaches us the rhythm of lament: an honest complaint, a good cry, and a deliberate decision to trust. This sermon invites us to slow down, linger with God in our sorrow, and discover the surprising gift and privilege of lament for those who depend on Him.

In Week 2 of Dependence, Josh brings a deeply personal and powerful word from Psalm 63, preaching from the heart of the wilderness; both David’s and our own. In this raw and honest message, we discover how the wilderness seasons of life, though painful and disorienting, are not punishment; they are a severe mercy. Like David, we find that spiritual hunger is born in dry places, and that beholding God in the midst of suffering brings true satisfaction. Josh reminds us that the wilderness is not the end of the story, it’s where God forms us, feeds us, and calls us to deeper intimacy with Him. If you’re walking through a hard season, this message is for you. The wilderness is where dependence begins.

We live in a culture that prizes independence, but what if I told you there was a better way? What if I told you we have been invited onto a different path. Scripture teaches us that true freedom doesn’t come from doing it all ourselves, but in depending on the One who always delivers on His promises. In week one of our series, Dependent, we dive into Psalm 23 and explore the posture of dependence on the Good Shepherd. From finding rest in green pastures to walking confidently through life’s valleys, we’ll discover how leaning on God brings real peace, restoration, and joy in every season. This isn’t about escaping life’s struggles, it’s about living fully through them. Knowing you’re held and cared for every step of the way.

In this final message of our Joseph series, Jeremiah unpacks how Joseph’s story reveals a God who is faithful from beginning to end. Even when his brothers tried to control the outcome, Joseph trusted the Lord’s sovereign hand and responded with grace instead of revenge. Through Joseph’s forgiveness, we see the heart of God on display—culminating in the ultimate act of love at the cross. The ending reminds us that when we can’t see the whole picture, God’s story is still unfolding perfectly.

This week, Troy walks us through one of the most powerful moments in Joseph’s story — forgiveness. In a broken world, people will hurt us, but God calls us to a better way. We’re reminded to realize the need for forgiveness, remember that nothing is wasted in God’s plan, relent by releasing vengeance to the Lord, and relive the example of Jesus — the ultimate picture of forgiveness that Joseph’s life points to.

Sometimes, God feels quiet. Our waiting stretches on, and we wonder if He’s forgotten us. That’s where Joseph was. Waiting and carrying dreams that felt long gone. In part 5 of our series, we will see that God was never absent. He was shaping Joseph’s heart, refining his character, and preparing him for a purpose far greater than he could imagine. This might be where you are right now. In between what God promised and what you can see. This message is an invitation to trust that even in the silence, God is faithful. He lifts us up in His time, equips us with His Spirit, and positions us for His story.

Joseph’s story in prison shows us what it looks like to live with faith while waiting on God. Even in confinement, he served faithfully, spoke boldly about God’s truth, and trusted God’s timing when his own deliverance didn’t come right away. This message invites us to hold on in our own seasons of waiting, confident that God is at work even when we can’t see it.

In this message, Jeremiah continues our Joseph series, unpacking how Genesis 38–39 contrasts Judah’s failure with Joseph’s faithfulness. Judah, driven by fear and compromise, spirals into sin before beginning a journey of transformation. Joseph, betrayed and enslaved, chooses integrity and clings to God’s presence; even when it costs him dearly. This week reminds us that while people fail, God remains steadfast, and His presence is enough to sustain and redeem us.
