What is the key to spiritual growth? In teaching his disciples about growth, Jesus offers the metaphor of a vineyard and the vital, life-infusing connection between a vine and it’s branches. Join us as we seek to understand what it means to abide in Christ.

Have you wanted to experience God? In this section of John’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the undeniable promise of God’s personal presence and participation with us and in us. As he prepares his disciples for his own departure, he promises the Holy Spirit who will be our Helper, our advocate, our Comforter, our Guide, our Strength.

In these short verses, Jesus makes two of the most outlandish claims in the Bible, speaking about the incredible privilege we possess because of our relationship with him. This week, we unpack these often misunderstood blessings and their importance for our lives.

As 2026 begins, all of us are carrying hopes, plans, and uncertainties into the new year. As we return to John’s Gospel, we find the disciples in a similar place, and they're full of anxiety about what lies ahead. This Sunday, we’ll reflect on Jesus’ words to these anxious disciples and how what he says offers us a foundation for our lives that is steady, trustworthy, and full of hope.

Have you ever felt like you were together but not really present with people you care about? One of the hidden costs of our hyper-busy world is a diminishment of our being truly present to one another. This week we look at Jesus’ arrival as Immanuel, God with us, and its implications for our lives.

Have you ever been around someone that always seemed to give you joy? Chances are, you wanted to be around them more! Join us as we explore how God’s grace helps us give the gift of a joyful presence to the people in our life.

Philippians 4:4-9 I | Gifts I’d Give: Peace that Pursues

Our relationships are the most significant and influential factors in our lives. When broken, they’re among the most painful things, and when healthy, they are the most rewarding. Join us and consider the “Gift’s I’d Give” to the people in your life this Christmas.

Each December, we celebrate Christmas with lights, trees, and candy canes alongside hope, joy, and peace. In the mix of so many good things, it’s easy to miss the meaning of it all. Join us as we seek a most meaningful Christmas for ourselves, for our families, for our friends, and for our world.

Do you ever feel the ache for home—not just a place, but a deep sense that everything is made right? This week we’ll trace the story of Scripture through the meals God prepares for his people and see how, in Christ, God welcomes us home and sends us to extend that welcome to others.
