Missions Emphasis Weekend!

You don't drift into transformation. You think your way there, one thought at a time. Today's message looks at what it takes to rebuild your mind from the inside out.

Augustine once wrote that our hearts are restless until they rest in God. Beneath the familiar words "come to me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden" lies a surprising claim: rest isn't something you achieve, it's something only a gentle, accessible Savior can give.

Jesus knows His disciples' hearts are troubled, and rather than lecture, He comforts, offering a home to look forward to, a Helper to walk with them, and a peace untouched by chaos.

Using Timothy's grandmother, Lois, alongside two very different kings, today's sermon asks a question every grandparent needs to consider... Which direction is your influence actually pulling the next generation?

Walking through Psalm 78, we see that grandparenting was never meant to be just a well-earned retirement lap, but one of the most strategic discipleship assignments in all of Scripture.

Habakkuk does something almost no other prophet dares by arguing with God instead of preaching at the people. His journey from demanding answers to declaring "I Will rejoice in the Lord" no matter what is taken away is one of Scripture's most honest wrestling matches.

David never got to build the temple God placed in his heart, but he spent his final years handing Solomon the blueprints anyway. What are you sitting on that God has already planted in your heart, but you haven’t yet said yes to?

Using two unforgettable stories, this sermon asks the question underneath both of them: what part of your story isn't working anymore, and are you brave enough to let God search it, know it, and rewrite it?

We were made for relationship with God, but it's easy to settle for a version of faith that's more transaction than connection. Abiding in Jesus is an invitation to stop performing for God and start actually knowing Him.
