In Matthew 22:1–14, Jesus tells the parable of a king who prepares a wedding banquet to honor his son. Through those who made excuses to ignore the call and the guest who showed up without wedding clothes, Jesus exposes the difference between simply hanging around the party and being genuinely transformed by the King’s grace. But the invitation reaches beyond the original audience in this story. How are you responding to the King’s call—and what are you wearing?

Scripture: Matthew 22:1–14

In Matthew 21:33–46, Jesus confronts the religious leaders with the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, who rejected the landowner's servants and tried to claim the vineyard's harvest for themselves Through this parable, Jesus exposes the stark difference between selfishly acting as the owner of what God has entrusted to us and living as faithful stewards who produce the fruit of justice and righteousness. Are you running your life as its sole owner, or living as a faithful steward in God’s vineyard?

Scripture: Matthew 21:33–46

In Matthew 21:23–32, Jesus is confronted by religious leaders who question His authority. Through His response and the parable of the two sons, Jesus exposes the difference between simply saying “yes” to God and actually living in obedience to Him. But the question reaches beyond the religious leaders in this story. By whose authority are you running your life? Scripture: Matthew 21:23–32

Forgiveness isn't about pretending the past didn't happen or simply forgetting what someone did, but about choosing a different way forward. In this message, we walk through the path, people, possibility, pain, and power of forgiveness, discovering how God’s grace gives us the courage to release what we’ve been carrying and make room for hope. Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35

Description: Forgiving someone who has hurt you can feel impossible, especially when the pain is deep and the offense is real. Join us as we explore Jesus' parable of the unmerciful servant and how the audacious mercy we've received from God frees us from our own debt and transforms our hearts, giving us the courage to extend that same forgiveness to others. Scripture: Matthew 18:21-35. 

When someone hurts us, our instinct is often to walk away, hold a grudge, or cut them off, but Jesus calls us to something different. In this message, we explore how Jesus teaches us to remember our relationship, embrace our responsibility, seek to restore what is broken, and, if necessary, release them into the Father’s hands.

We all have a place in life we've quietly given up on, whether it's a relationship, a dream, or a prayer we no longer bother praying. Join us as we look at the story of Moses and the burning bush to see that God shows up in the place you've given up on, he knows your name, and he has a calling for you. Scripture: Exodus 3:1-5

We all have a "home base" that our hearts default to when life gets hard, whether it's our phone or other things we use for distraction or comfort, often without even realizing it. In this message, we learn that every heart is seeking something to anchor to and is prone to drift off course without us noticing, so we must find our true, fixed point in Jesus alone. Scripture Psalm 105

When Christians confuse unity with uniformity, our differences can become reasons to divide instead of opportunities to display the beauty of Christ. Psalm 133 reminds us that unity is beautiful, holy, and fruitful, and this message explores how we can pursue it by refusing to give up hope, taming our tongues, and committing ourselves to prayer. 

When life hurts and God’s promises seem far away, it can be easy to wonder if He is still working or feel like you've been forgotten. In this message, we learn to remember that pain never negates God’s promises, God never wastes our story, and God never tires of keeping His promises. Scripture: Psalm 105
