Albie kicked off Advent by showing how the Christmas story fits into the bigger story of Scripture, beginning with Creation. We were made by God, made for God, and made with purpose—and the incarnation is God stepping into His own story to redeem what He created. Christmas invites us to live into God’s true story and find our place in it.

In Philippians 4:4–9, Paul reminds us that thankfulness isn’t the result of an stress-free life—it’s a practice that reorients our hearts and minds toward God’s peace. Joe McGarvey shared how, even in anxious or chaotic seasons, intentionally remembering and expressing gratitude—through journaling, prayer, or sharing with others—shifts our perspective, reduces stress, and strengthens our resilience. This week, as we head into Thanksgiving, the challenge isn’t just “What are you thankful for?” but “How will you practice thankfulness?” Making space for gratitude lets us experience God’s presence, trust His provision, and live with peace, no matter our circumstances.

This Sunday, we explored Baptism as Public Testimony of God’s Grace—why we do it, what it means, and how it declares the transforming grace of Jesus. Baptism is more than a symbol; it’s a public proclamation that through Christ our old life is gone and a new one has begun. Join us as we unpack why Jesus commands baptism, how it connects to the early church, and why every testimony—even the ordinary ones—are a powerful story of God’s saving work.

This week, we explored Psalm 32—a powerful invitation to freedom through confession. In a culture that hides weakness, David shows us that the blessed life is found not in perfection, but in forgiveness. “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven.” Join us as we unpack how confession restores our joy, unburdens our hearts, and leads us back to the God who covers, carries, and forgives.

“Everyone who is made new in Christ is sent out with the message of reconciliation—because the love of Jesus reshapes our identity, purpose, and mission.”

This Sunday, Albie shared from John 14, where Jesus declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” In a world filled with competing ideas about God, Jesus alone provides the way to the Father and the promise of eternal life. Join us as we explore what it means to know Him personally, trust Him completely, and experience the life only He can give. “When the good news becomes your good news, Jesus changes you.”

This Sunday, Pastor Albie Powers returned from sabbatical to share from John 10, where Jesus says, “I am the Good Shepherd.” In a world full of competing voices, Jesus alone offers true life. As Albie put it, “A rich and satisfying life is given to those who stay close to the Good Shepherd.” Join us as we explore what it means to trust His care and follow Him into the kind of full, abundant life only He can give.

This Sunday, we explored John 11, where Jesus makes one of His most powerful declarations: “I am the resurrection and the life.” In the story of Lazarus, we see that God’s glory isn’t revealed by avoiding pain—but by entering it. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to believe that Jesus is not just the giver of life but life itself, even when hope feels lost.

This week, we explored what it means that Jesus isn’t just a giver of bread, but the Bread itself, the One who satisfies the deepest hunger of our souls. As we looked at the hungry crowd, the true bread from heaven, the offense of His words, and the responses of those who heard Him, we wrestled with a vital question: Are we seeking Jesus for what He gives, or for who He is?

This Sunday, we dived into John 10:1-10, where Jesus declares, “I am the door of the sheep.” In a world full of competing voices, Jesus stands apart as the True Shepherd—the one who calls us by name, protects us, and leads us into abundant life. Together we’ll explore what it means to recognize His voice, trust His care, and follow Him into the kind of life only He can give.
