Sometimes we find ourselves holding onto things that cause us to lack trust in what God has next for our lives. I don’t know what we’re holding onto, but I do know something that’s better.

Join us Sunday to prepare ourselves for the holiday season. I don’t know what you’re holding on to but I know something that is better and His name is JESUS!

There is something powerful when out of a place of weakness, incredible strength and power is displayed. Think of an injured player on a team staying in the game for the sake of the team. Determination and grit in the midst of hardship, all for something larger than themself.

 Learn how God gives us “joyful eyes” to see God’s grace so that we can endure towards a greater glory.
