Matthew 14:13-21

Jesus is still our Great Provider today like he was for that great crowd of 5,000.

Matthew 13:44-46, 51-52

Everyone is chasing something they believe will make life better - a bigger paycheck, greater security, the perfect family, the next adventure, or the dream they've always wanted. But what if we've been settling for far too little? In today's Gospel, Jesus points us to a treasure so valuable that it's worth giving up everything else to possess. Better yet, it's a treasure he has already won and freely placed into your hands. Discover where true wealth is really found.

Isaiah 44:6-11

The world can feel overrun with weeds. Evil seems to spread quickly, injustice often goes unanswered, and it's easy to wonder if wickedness is winning. At the same time, our own hearts are tempted to cling to false "rocks" that promise security but can never save. In Isaiah 44, God reminds his people that there is no rival to him. He alone is the King, the Redeemer, and the

Almighty. While we wait for the day he will finally uproot every evil and make all things new, we live with confidence, trusting the only Rock who never fails. Join us as we hear God's reassuring promise: "There is no other Rock; I know not one."

Anxiety, grief sin, and hardship can leave us feeling isolated, as though we're drowning with no one to pull us out. Yet God's promise has not changed: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). Our Savior never abandons his people, and he has also gathered us into a church family where we don't have to carry our burdens alone. this week we'll be reminded that Christ is always present to lift us up. And he also calls us to be a community that lifts one another up with his gospel of grace.

Matthew 10:34-42

The opposition may seem bigger, stronger, and louder than ever. Fear can make us wonder whether following Christ is worth the cost. But Jesus gives his disciples a different message: “Do not be afraid.” In Matthew 10, we discover why Christians can face opposition, uncertainty, and even death with confidence. Our heavenly Father knows us, values us, and preserves us through it all. Because Christ acknowledges us before the Father, we have nothing to fear.

1 Corinthians 4:1-7

We live in a world overflowing with opinions. Every day we are evaluated, rated, criticized, and compared. We worry about what others think of us, and sometimes we become our own harshest critics. But whose opinion truly matters? In this message from 1 Corinthians 4, Paul points us away from the ever-changing judgments of people, and even our own consciences, to the verdict of Christ. Discover the freedom that comes from knowing that the Judge of all has become your Savior, declaring you forgiven, faithful, and his own. When Christ's verdict is the one that defines you, you can stop living for approval and start living in the confidence of his grace.

1 Timothy 1:12-17

We all carry things from our past that we'd rather forget—regrets, failures, sins, and moments we wish we could undo. Sometimes those memories still have a way of accusing us years later. In 1 Timothy 1, the apostle Paul looked honestly at his own past as a blasphemer, persecutor, and violent man. Yet instead of despair, Paul marveled at the mercy of Christ. His story reminds us of a life-changing truth: no sinner is beyond God's grace, and no past is bigger than Christ's mercy. Today we'll hear again the trustworthy saying that stands at the heart of the Christian faith: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." That promise was true for Paul, and it is still true for us.

Matthew 28:16-20

As Jesus prepares to leave his disciples in Matthew 28, he gives ordinary, imperfect, sometimes doubting followers a purpose that is bigger than themselves: "Go and make disciples of all nations." And then he gives them something even better than purpose—his promise. The mission is great, but the Savior who sends us is greater. Today we'll see that Jesus still gives his people both a purpose and a promise.

Acts 2:1-21

Pentecost is one of the most dramatic moments in the entire Bible—rushing wind, tongues of fire, miraculous speech. But if we’re honest, it can also feel strangely distant from our everyday Christian experience. Where are those signs today? Why doesn’t the Holy Spirit seem to work like that anymore? In Acts 2, God shows us that the greatest miracle of Pentecost was never the spectacle itself, but the saving message of Jesus carried to the world. The same Spirit who filled that room in Jerusalem is still at work today—through the gospel, through baptism,

through ordinary believers witnessing to an extraordinary Savior. This Sunday we’ll discover that Pentecost is not just a miracle from long ago. It’s a miracle you’ve already seen.

Acts 1:1-11

Even after Jesus’ resurrection, his disciples still misunderstand the nature of his kingdom, looking for earthly glory and immediate victory. Then moments later, after Jesus ascends into heaven, they stand frozen with their eyes fixed on the sky. Their focus keeps drifting in the wrong direction. And honestly, so does ours. We can become consumed with earthly kingdoms we can build and control, or disconnected from the mission Christ has placed right in front of us. But in his ascension, Jesus sharpens the focus of his Church. The risen and reigning Savior

redirects our eyes away from earthly distractions and idle sky-gazing and fixes them firmly on his kingdom, his mission, and his promise to return.
