In today’s kickoff message to our series “Shattered Dreams, Unshakable Faith” we look at the life of Joseph. Joseph’s life began with a dream but was marked by family dysfunction and unexpected detours. Yet, God used those very challenges to fulfill His greater purpose for Joseph. Dysfunction doesn’t stop God’s plan, and the detours we face are often the foundation for our faith. Like Joseph, we must speak our dreams aloud, embrace the detours, and trust that God is working through it all. Join the conversation and see if you don’t see your own life within the life of Joseph.

Today’s conversation brings us to the end of our “One Another” series as we look at living in harmony with one another with special guest speaker, Pastor Jerry Casey of Providence Church. This conversation is a culmination of the journey we have taken throughout this series. As we finish out this series it is our hope that we have both encouraged and equipped you to not only embody the love of Jesus, but also to share it with the world around you. For it is written, “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

Have you ever wondered why it’s so powerful when we confess our sins? St. Augustine of Hippo taught that confession is not just about acknowledging our wrongs but about breaking the chains of guilt and secrecy that keep us from God’s grace. By confessing, we open ourselves to healing and transformation, drawing closer to God and strengthening our relationships within the Christian community. This sermon will explore why confession is essential for spiritual renewal and how it can lead to a deeper experience of God’s mercy and love.

In this week’s message, we dive into the transformative power of encouragement with a focus on 1 Thessalonians 5:11. We explore how vital it is to “in-courage” one another, which means to literally put courage into someone. By building each other up, we unlock the hidden potential within ourselves and those around us, fostering a community of strength and resilience. Our discussion will highlight the story of the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz, illustrating how genuine support and affirmation can turn fear into bravery. Don’t miss this inspiring message on the importance of uplifting one another and the profound impact it can have on our lives.

Offenses are an inevitable part of life; it’s not a matter of if they will come, but when. As we navigate through relationships and daily interactions, we will inevitably face moments of hurt and disappointment. Colossians 3:13 reminds us to forgive one another, just as the Lord forgave us. In this sermon, we will explore the powerful example of Nelson Mandela, who forgave his oppressors despite immense suffering. When we choose to forgive, we experience the dual outcomes of sorrow and release: sorrow for the pain and injustice, and release from the emotional and mental prison that unforgiveness creates. Join us as we delve into the transformative power of forgiveness and learn how to set ourselves and others free.

In this week’s sermon, we’ll dive into Galatians 5:13-14 and 1 Peter 4:10 to uncover the profound call to serve. We’ll also examine the temptations that challenge us in our service: the temptation to serve only our friends and not our enemies, to serve without truly becoming a servant, and to serve without being open to receiving service ourselves. Using the powerful example of Jesus washing His disciples’ feet in John 13, we’ll learn how to overcome these temptations and embrace a life of true servanthood. Join us as we discover the heart of serving one another.
