As a new school year begins, families often feel like they’re jumping onto a treadmill at full speed—juggling school schedules, sports, rehearsals, and responsibilities. But in the middle of the rush, Jesus offers a different way: a rhythm shaped by grace, rest, and purpose. In week one of our two-part series, Reset: Starting Fresh with Jesus at the Center, we’ll explore Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to find rest in Him and Romans 12’s call to live with renewed minds and transformed priorities. Join us for “Reset Your Rhythm” as we learn how to begin this fall not in frantic motion, but in step with Jesus—together as individuals, families, and a church.

In this devotion, Pastor Tim shares a powerful story from Walter Wangerin, Jr. titled, "Ragman."

One of Satan's most deceitful lies is the thought that "You Are Too Dirty, Broken, Flawed, and Sinful to be Forgiven." In our guilt, he whispers that God could never forgive someone like us. But God's Word speaks truth to the contrary. God removes our sin and clothes us in righteousness. Join us as we confront the lie of unworthiness and embrace the boundless grace of God’s forgiveness.

Pastor Tim Runtsch offers a devotion titled, "Abide With Me" that is based on the old hymn of the same name, as well as Psalm 46:1.

Loneliness is one of Satan’s most painful lies. He whispers in our struggles: "You Are Alone." But God’s Word speaks a different truth. God assured us that he would never leave us nor forsake us, and he proved the promise by sending us his Holy Spirit. Join us as we confront the lie of loneliness and find comfort in the unfailing presence of God.
