Even in betrayal, envy, and chaos, God is at work. Joseph’s story shows how our false selves, struggles, and "pits" can become the place God shapes our true selves and fulfills His redemptive plan. Watch "Crouching Beast, Hidden God" to see how God works behind the scenes in our lives.

Prayer is one of the most powerful—and often neglected—gifts God gives His children. It’s where we find strength, mercy, and the power to change things. In Matthew 6:5–14, Pastor Aaron Gray walks through the Lord’s Prayer—showing us how to make prayer personal, persistent, and a daily practice.

Every one of us carries both Joseph and his brothers within us — the wounded and the wounder. God is redeeming both. When we surrender our false self — the one shaped by fear, shame, and control — He awakens the real self created in His image.

From the very first pages of Genesis, God designed humanity for community. He formed us in His image—male and female—to reflect His love together. From Adam and Eve, to Abraham and the nations, to Jews and Gentiles united in Yeshua, God’s plan has always been one → two → one again.

We were made to belong, to bless, and to bring others near. Discover how your place in God’s story starts “from the beginning.”

This Shabbat in the middle of Sukkot, we look at “The Last and Greatest Day” — when Yeshua stood in the Temple and cried, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.”

Discover how Sukkot points to the Living Water, the Light, and the King who still invites us to stay near Him today.

The shofar has sounded. The fast is broken. Now what?

Jonah’s story doesn’t end with his mission to Nineveh—it ends with God’s question about how we will live going forward. Jonah is a mirror for us: everyone else in the story submits to God…except the prophet himself.

The good life isn’t found in anger, self-pity, or self-provision. It’s found in God’s presence, God’s provision, and God’s compassion.

Don’t miss the final message in The High Holy Days & Jonah: The Good Life. Watch now and discover what it really means to live in God’s presence, provision, and compassion.

Traditionally, we read the Book of Jonah on Yom Kippur because it forces us to face a hard question: do we want God’s mercy only for ourselves—or also for our enemies?

Jonah wanted wrath for Nineveh. God wanted mercy. And if we’re honest, most of us live with the same tension: mercy for me, wrath for them.

But here’s the truth: if God’s mercy isn’t wide enough for our enemies, it isn’t really mercy at all. 

Join us for Part 3 of The High Holidays & Jonah: Mercy & Wrath on Yom Kippur!

Jonah’s time in the belly of the fish wasn’t about punishment. It was a sign. What looked like death was actually the doorway to new life.

If you’ve been in a season that feels like the end—through pain, loss, or brokenness—God’s goal isn’t your destruction. It’s transformation.

That’s the heart of Shabbat Shuvah: real teshuvah (return) means dying to self so resurrection can take root.

Don’t miss Part 2 of The High Holy Days & Jonah: The Sign.
