Aaron Ninaber continued on in our Closer series with the story of Joseph found in Genesis 37–50. Joseph’s story is one of betrayal, hardship, and ultimate redemption, revealing God’s faithfulness in every season. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and later imprisoned on false charges, Joseph remained steadfast, serving with excellence and trusting God’s wisdom over his own. Even when forgotten in prison, he continued to rely on God, ultimately being promoted to the Palace to lead Egypt through a time of famine. His journey reminds us that God is always at work, refining us in hidden seasons and lifting us up in His perfect timing. Will we choose to trust Him, even when we can’t yet see the full picture?

This week, Jess Ninaber continues our Closer series with a powerful reminder of God’s unchanging desire to dwell with us. From the very beginning, God’s heart has been to be near His people, despite our sin and failures, inviting us into deeper intimacy with Him. As we draw near to Him through faith and repentance, we experience His transforming presence. This message will encourage you to respond to His invitation and cultivate a deeper relationship with Him.

This Sunday, Aaron Ninaber kicked off our series "Closer: 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting." What kind of fasting truly pleases the Lord? In this message, we uncover the heart behind biblical fasting as revealed through examples like Moses, Daniel, Esther, and Isaiah 58. God’s desire is not for empty rituals or outward displays but for a fast that alligns with His will to bring freedom, healing, and justice. Fasting that pleases the Lord is rooted in love—love for Him and for others it’s focus is not simply the absence of food, but the presence of God—sustaining, guiding, and empowering us.

This week, we welcomed Jordan Verner, Pastor of Riverhouse Church in Boise, Idaho, who shared a powerful message on the Kingdom of God. In Matthew 13, we see the Kingdom is like a mustard seed—small, hidden, and costly—but destined to grow and transform. God’s authority is His power to redeem all things, vividly demonstrated in the resurrection of Jesus. No person, situation, or institution is beyond redemption. We are called to be active participants in carrying God's authority to a world longing for hope and restoration.

We had a powerful Sunday morning with Jordan Verner of Riverhouse Church in Boise, Idaho! God is looking for hearts fully devoted to Him—hearts molded by the Holy Spirit to resemble Jesus. There is no scarcity of God’s anointing or calling, only a need for yielded hearts ready to receive His blessing to bring hope to a broken world. We are encouraged in this to live with purity, justice, and humility, following Jesus' example of self-emptying love and surrender. As we seek to walk in His ways, let us offer God our wholehearted devotion and trust Him to use us to bless others.

This week, Duncan Smith invited us to step into greater power, greater grace, and greater goodness through reliance on God. Hebrews 1:14-2:4 reminds us of the vastness of our salvation and the importance of anchoring ourselves in Christ and His Word to avoid drifting into worldly currents. We’re called to press into deeper intimacy with the Spirit, walk boldly in the power of signs and wonders, and trust in God’s unwavering goodness. As we rely on Him, we discover a life of fullness, firmly rooted in His presence and grace.

This week, we concluded our Advent series with the candle of Love. As we prepared for Christmas, we reflected on the profound truth that Jesus is Immanuel—God with us. From Isaiah’s prophecy to its fulfillment in Jesus’ birth, we see the depth of God’s love, a love that moves Him to dwell among us, redeem us, and invite us into relationship with Him. This love is not just a feeling but a transformative force that compels us to love others with the same selfless devotion. As we celebrate His coming, may we be reminded that His love changes everything.

This week, Jess Ninaber continued our Advent series by lighting the candle of Joy. Joy is both in the waiting and in the fulfillment, as we see in Isaiah 35—a promise of restoration fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. Unlike fleeting happiness, biblical joy is deep and steady, anchored in God’s faithfulness and His presence with us in every season. As we wait expectantly for Jesus' return, we are invited to find joy in His promises, trust His timing, and cultivate joy through gratitude, worship, and hope.

This week, Aaron continues our Advent series by lighting the candle of Peace. In a season often marked by chaos and busyness, we pause to reflect on the deeper, biblical meaning of peace—Shalom—a wholeness and restoration that only Jesus can bring. As the Prince of Peace, Jesus offers us more than a state of relaxation He offers us a transformative completeness that stills our hearts and settles us in Him. Let us embrace the peace that surpasses all understanding, trusting in the One who is with us in every storm and anticipating the day when He will make all things new. Together, we prepare our hearts for the coming of our Savior and invite His peace to reign in our lives this Advent season.

This week, Jess Ninaber kicked off our Advent series! During this Advent season, we begin by lighting the candle of Hope, remembering that Jesus is the light that breaks through the darkness. In a world full of uncertainty, we are called to fix our eyes on the unchanging character of God, trusting that His promises will never expire. Though we may be in seasons of waiting, we hold onto the hope that one day, all things will be made new. Let us declare and share this hope with others, trusting in Jesus, our Redeemer, and Messiah, as we wait in anticipation for His return.
