Sometimes it feels like Godis silent. Prayers go unanswered, problems pile up, and our hearts whisper, “Lord,have You forgotten me?”

But Isaiah 40:27–31 remindsus of the truth: God cares, God can, and God is close.

“But those who hope in theLord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they willrun and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.”

Retreat is God’s invitationto lift our eyes from the valley and rise with Him to higher ground.

This Sunday: “Higher Ground”| Isaiah 40:27–31
Let’s be reminded that when we feel forgotten, God is near, working, and readyto give us strength to soar.

The way forward is often a step back with God.

In a world that glorifies hustle, speed, and constant noise, Psalm 23:1–3 reminds us of a better rhythm:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul.”

This month, we’re entering a series called “Retreat”—a call to step back from the rush and step into the rest of Jesus. Because real strength is found not in running harder, but in abiding deeper.

Week 1: “It’s Time to Recharge”
Before we can pour out, we must be filled up. Before we can lead, we must be led. God restores the soul that pauses in His presence.

Join us as we learn how retreating in Jesus is not weakness—it’s the way to true renewal.

BIBLE-ISH | Finale
The First Lie Ever Told | Genesis 3:1–5

From the very beginning, the enemy’s strategy has been the same: twist God’s Word just enough to make it sound good—but not true.

“Did God really say…?” That question in Eden still echoes today in every half-truth, every distorted caption, every spiritual-sounding quote that isn’t rooted in Scripture.

But here’s the difference: the serpent said, “Did God really say…?”
Jesus declared, “It is written.”

Victory comes when we stand not on feelings or trendy wisdom, but on the unshakable Word of God.

This Sunday: “The First Lie Ever” | Genesis 3:1–5
Let’s close the Bible-ish series by learning how to recognize lies, resist deception, and declare truth with the authority of God’s Word.

“Every sin starts with believing a lie – but every victory begins with believing God’s truth.”

BIBLE-ISH | Week 3
Popular Quote: “Forgive and forget.”
It sounds nice, but is that really what Jesus taught?

In Luke 17:3–4, Jesus says: “If your brother or sistersins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.”

Notice what Jesus didn’t say: forget.

This Sunday’s message: “Forgiven”

“Forgiveness is not forgetting the wrong, it is remembering the grace. It’s choosing grace over offenses, again and again. Forgetting may not always be possible. But forgiving is always commanded.

BIBLE-ISH | Week 4
Popular Quote: “Everything happens for a reason.”
It sounds hopeful—but it’s only half true.

Romans 8:28–30 reminds us: not everything happens for a reason, but in Christ, everything works together for God’s purpose. The hard, the confusing, the painful—all of it is woven by God into a greater story of redemption.

Our confidence isn’t in random reasons, but in a faithful God who is shaping us step by step into the likeness of His Son.

This Sunday: “Step by Step” | Romans 8:28–30
Move from shallow sayings to Christ-centered confidence.

BIBLE-ISH | Week 2
Popular Quote: “God won’t give you more than you can bear.”
Sounds comforting… but it’s not what the Bible actually says.

In fact, Paul writes about a season so heavy that he couldn’t carry it at all. A “thorn in the flesh” — something that humbled him and reminded him of his weakness. And God’s answer wasn’t, “You’ve got this!” It was, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9)

God sometimes allows more than we can bear on our own — so that we’ll stop relying on ourselves and start depending fully on Him.
Message Title: “God’s Dark Room”
Like photos developed in a dark room, God uses the hidden, hard, and heavy seasons to shape us, mature us, and reveal His glory in us. The world says hard seasons mean God’s not there. The Bible says that’s often where He’s most at work.

NEW SERIES | “Bible-ish”
Not everything that sounds spiritual is actually Biblical. We’re calling this series: “Bible-ish” — because “almost truth” can still lead us way off track.

This month, we’re unpacking popular quotes, captions, and cultural sayings that sound deep, inspiring—evenChristian—but don’t always align with the truth of God’s Word.

Week 1: “Happiness Upside Down”
The world says: “Do what makes you happy.” But Psalm 84 flips that upside down.

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you... Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” — Psalm 84:5,10

Imagine opening a box of pizza delivered at your door step, and you open it and find it empty. How many of us have chase something that made us really “happy” for a while, only tofeel empty later on?

Real happiness isn’t found in chasing what feels good — it’s found in dwelling with God, drawing strength from Him, and living for something greater than ourselves. In God’s presence, we find joy that doesn’t depend on circumstances.

FINAL WEEK - Wet Paint Series
Our lives are God’s canvas—still wet, still in the workshop, still under construction.

This Sunday’s message, “Caution: Under Construction,” takes us to 1 Samuel 16:1–13, where God’s choice of David reminds us that being anointed doesn’t mean we’re already perfected.

“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)

You may feel hidden, you may feel unfinished—but God sees your heart and has begun a work in you that only He can complete.

As we end this series, let us celebrate God’s work and learn how to embrace the process. Welcoming each trial, each lesson, as a brushstroke in His masterpiece.

WET PAINT | Week 3You are God’s masterpiece — but you’re not meant to stay on the shelf. You weren’t just made; you were meant to walk.This Sunday’s message is titled “Walkmanship,” based on Ephesians 2:10, a verse that doesn’t just call you God’s workmanship — it reminds you that you were created to walk out the good works He’s prepared for you.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10 (NKJV)“Your identity is secure. Your renewal is ongoing. Your purpose is prepared. Now, walk it out!”Join us this Sunday!#WetPaint #WALKmanship#WorkinProgress #Ephesians2:10#aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers#itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

Ever feel stuck in a season where nothing seems to change? Like a caterpillar crawling slowly, unnoticed—wondering if transformation will ever come?

Here’s the truth: The most beautiful transformations happen in the hidden places.

A butterfly doesn’t start beautiful. It begins as a caterpillar—awkward, overlooked, bound to the ground. Then comes the cocoon: a dark, silent space where everything shifts. From the outside, it looks like nothing is happening. But inside? A miracle is unfolding.

God specializes in "BUTterfly Moments."Those times when your story could’ve ended in frustration, failure, or fear—but God said, "Not yet. I’m still working."Maybe you’re in your own "cocoon" right now— - But I’m still waiting… - But I’m not healed yet… - But I feel stuck…

Just like Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-14), who almost missed his miracle because of pride, God is calling you to surrender. Your "but" is not the end—it’s the setup for your breakthrough.This Sunday, we’re diving into how God turns our "buts" into BUTterfly Moments. Join us and discover the beauty of His process. The paint is still wet—your story isn’t finished yet.
