What is the significance of Ash Wednesday? Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent and calls us to remember a truth we often avoid: we are dust, and our days are numbered. Pastor Kale reflects on the meaning of ashes, the frailty of life, our need for repentance, the tension between the flesh and the Spirit, and the connection between prayer and fasting, reminding us that fasting is not merely a modified diet but a declaration of war. We are always feeding something, either the flesh or the Spirit, and Ash Wednesday confronts the question of what we have been feeding. As the 40 day journey of Lent begins, the call is to starve the flesh, feed the Spirit, and pray with intentionality for a specific sin, a specific person, and a specific miracle from God. This is an invitation into repentance, renewal, and restoration.

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by confronting a deeply rooted belief in both culture and the church: that the goal of marriage is personal happiness. This message is for couples, future spouses, and anyone longing for a clearer, more biblical understanding of marriage.

In this message, we challenge the “happily ever after” narrative and explore how God uses marriage to form holiness in us. Rather than centering our lives on changing our spouse or chasing constant happiness, we are invited to pursue Christ and reflect His love within our marriage.

See you next week as we step into a brand new series on prayer!

Today we continue our series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most pervasive lies in both culture and Christian culture: that singleness is a problem to be solved. This message is for singles and marrieds alike as we seek a better, more biblical understanding of singleness.

In this message, we uncover how Scripture presents singleness not as a deficiency, but as a beautiful and meaningful gift. Through 1 Corinthians 7, we are invited to see both the difficulty and the deep advantage of singleness, and to reorient our hearts away from relationship status and toward undivided devotion to Jesus.

Today we begin a new series, The Lies of Love, by addressing one of the most confusing and misunderstood topics in our culture: love. This message explores how both culture and the church often reduce love to slogans or relationship status and why those definitions fall short of what Scripture reveals.

In this message, we confront the lie that love is most clearly defined when nothing is wrong and discover that biblical love is revealed most clearly when things are broken. Through the words of Jesus, we are invited into a deeper, costly love that does good, blesses, and prays even for our enemies.

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do?, by wrestling with a tension many of us live in every day: control versus trust. This message speaks to the internal conflict of wanting to follow Jesus while still trying to manage outcomes, protect ourselves from disappointment, and stay in control of the future.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted from trying to hold everything together, this message is an invitation to release control and place your trust fully in Jesus.

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do?, by addressing a struggle many of us face but rarely name: people pleasing versus fearing God. This message speaks to the internal conflict of wanting to follow Jesus while feeling driven by the opinions, expectations, and approval of others.

In this message, we uncover how people pleasing is rooted in misplaced fear and how it leads to compromise, exhaustion, and partial obedience. Through Scripture, we are invited to exchange the fear of people for a healthy fear of the Lord, learning what it means to take God seriously and live for an audience of One.

Today we continue our series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do? A practical and honest guide to doing what God wants you to do.

Why is it so easy to fall into patterns we know aren’t good for us? In this message, we explore Romans 7:15–20 and uncover one of the most hidden battles in our hearts: entitlement vs gratitude. Through Scripture and the story of the prodigal sons, we see how entitlement quietly steals joy, while gratitude opens our eyes to God’s grace and changes the way we live.

Join us next Sunday as we continue this series and learn how the gospel empowers us to do what God wants us to do.

Today we begin a brand new series, Why Do I Do What I Don’t Want To Do? A Practical and Honest Guide to Doing What God Wants You To Do.

Why do we keep repeating the same patterns we swear we’re done with? In this January series at The Grove Church, we’ll walk through Romans 7:15–20 to uncover the real battle beneath our habits, and discover how the gospel gives hope into our everyday struggles. Join us every Sunday in January 2026 for a practical guide to doing what God wants us to do.

Join us next Sunday as we continue to dive into this message!

As we observe a Sabbath Sunday together and step into the new year, this message is needed more than ever. Sabbath is not just a suggestion, but a life-giving rhythm God designed for your good.

This message unpacks Sabbath rest as both a rhythm from God and a reminder that you are not God. It addresses the danger of restlessness, the lie that rest means falling behind, and the freedom that comes when you trust God enough to stop striving and truly rest in Him.

This Christmas Eve, we reflect on a simple but revealing question: What do you want for Christmas? This message looks beyond surface-level desires to the deeper longings of the human heart.

Christmas is really good news that brings great joy for all people. While we often settle for lesser things, Jesus offers true satisfaction and lasting joy. What does Jesus want for Christmas? You, just as you are.

This Christmas is an invitation to receive the greatest gift of all.

Merry Christmas!
