We begin a brand new series called “Christ in Me.” I want to personally invite you to be part of this journey. At the heart of our faith is this powerful truth: God is not distant—He lives in us. Through the Holy Spirit, Jesus is present, personal, and active in our everyday lives.

Over the next few weeks, we will discover what it truly means to have Christ living in us—how He guides us, strengthens us, speaks to us, and transforms us from the inside out. This series is not just about learning, but about experiencing God in a deeper and more real way.

Come expectant, and bring someone with you.

What does an airplane's ATTITUDE have to do with the ALTITUDE we attain as a follower of Christ? Any good pilot knows an airplane's ATTITUDE is extremely important to a successful flight. It can even be the difference between life and death! So what does aeronautical ATTITUDE have to do with living the way Jesus wants us to live? That's what we are going to find out today as we explore three important passages about living for Jesus. I'm looking forward to sharing a message with you that's been one year in the making. 

John 21

Life is full of hills and valleys, moments we are close to God and moments he seems far away. We just celebrated the resurrection of Jesus, but are we living in the light of it? Peter has a wonderful story recounted in John 21 of the grace offered to all of us. We just have to follow Him!

We come to the powerful conclusion of our God First journey—and what a moment this is for us as a church. Over the past weeks, God has been aligning our hearts, challenging our priorities, and calling us deeper. But today, it all comes together with one clear and life-changing truth: God Above All.

This is more than a message—it’s an invitation. An invitation to surrender fully, to trust completely, and to place God not just first in parts of our lives, but above everything.

We are continuing our GOD First journey, and this morning brings us to Session 6: People Above Resources. This message will challenge the way we see value, success, and priority in God’s Kingdom. In a world that often measures everything by numbers, results, and resources, God calls us to place people first—just as He does.

 Today’s sermon will help us see how deeply God cares for individuals and how He invites us to reflect that same heart in our daily lives. Expect to be stretched, encouraged, and reminded that ministry is never about what we have, but who we serve.

 Let’s come ready to listen, respond, and put God first—by putting people first.

Thank you to everyone who has continued faithfully on the GOD First journey. It has been encouraging to see so many of you leaning in—attending the sermons, engaging with the daily devotions, and showing up for your Action Groups. Keep going. Spiritual growth happens when we consistently place ourselves where God can shape our hearts.

 Today we continue with the fifth message in the series: “Service Above My Own Agenda.” We will discover how putting God first often means laying down our own plans so that His purposes can take priority in our lives.

 Also, don’t forget about Discovery Group tonight at 4:00 PM. We’ll be discussing the two most important experiences after salvation. I hope to see you there!

We are continuing our GOD First series today, and this morning’s message is titled “Bible Above Facts.” In a world overflowing with opinions, information, and constantly changing “truths,” it becomes easy to let culture shape what we believe. But God’s Word invites us to something stronger and more stable. Today, we will explore what it means to build our faith on the unchanging truth of Scripture rather than the shifting facts and voices around us. My prayer is that this message will strengthen your confidence in God’s Word and encourage you to trust it with every step of your life.

We are heading into the third week of our new series, God First. What an incredible blessing these past two weeks have been already. God is stirring hearts, realigning priorities, and reminding us what it truly means to put Him first.

 As a church family, we have made two intentional commitments during this season: We will pray before work and we will tithe before expenses.

 There is something powerful that happens when we put God first — not just in word, but in action. 

 I want to personally encourage you to join our Wednesday Action Group. This group is where faith becomes practical, where we grow together, pray together, and strengthen one another. We truly love doing this journey with you.

What an incredible start to our GOD First journey last week! Thank you to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and took the first step with us. It was inspiring to see our church choose to put God first—starting with prayer above work. I truly believe that when prayer takes first place, everything else begins to realign.

I want to encourage you to be diligent and intentional in this journey. The daily devotions are not just extra reading—they are moments to meet with God and allow Him to shape your heart. The Action Groups are where truth moves from inspiration to application. Don’t miss them.

Today we move to our next theme: Tithing Above Expenses. This is not simply about money—it’s about trust. It’s about declaring with our resources that God is first, not leftover. When we honor God first, He teaches us to live with faith, freedom, and obedience in every area of life.

Let’s keep walking this journey together.
