Luke 22 leads us to the Upper Room, where Jesus reframes Passover into the Lord’s Supper—a call to remember His body broken and blood poured out. We walk through five anchors of Communion: reflection on Christ’s sacrifice, fellowship with Him and His church, self-examination and repentance, public proclamation of the gospel, and a longing for the day we feast with Him in the Kingdom. Come ready to slow down, confess, give thanks, and fix your hope on heaven.

From Romans 12:9–18, we’ll unpack the ties that bind a church in unity—genuine love, competitive honor, and fervent service—and get practical about resolving conflict: don’t blow it when someone blows it, fight fire with forgiveness, and build back up. Come ready to roll up your sleeves and pursue peace “as far as it depends on you.”

Jesus calls us to radical generosity — not as a financial formula but as true worship and whole-life surrender. Join us as we unpack Matthew 6 and learn to lay up heavenly treasure, let go of money as our master, and give with open hands so God can multiply our lives for eternal impact.

A house divided can’t stand. From Matthew 12, we’ll confront how church division damages our witness, stalls our mission, fractures community—and why guarding unity isn’t optional but essential to keep this house from collapse.

Talking about money? It’s really about the heart. From Leviticus 23’s “firstfruits,” we’ll see why God asks for our first and best—not our leftovers—and how prioritizing generosity declares He’s our Provider and reflects Christ Himself.

In a world addicted to division, John 17 calls the church to reflect the Trinity’s own oneness, to resist the enemy’s wedges, and to choose fellowship over offense. This week we’ll learn why unity is Jesus’ desire, how it mirrors our triune God, and how we guard it in real life. Come ready to lock arms.

When Paul wrote about the Macedonian churches, he described people who gave not out of surplus, but out of sacrifice—overflowing with joy even in poverty. Why? Because their first step was giving themselves fully to the Lord. That’s the heart of grace-filled, generous stewardship. This week, we’ll see how trusting God with our resources isn’t just about paying down debt—it’s about proving our love genuine and joining Him in the work of ministry.

We’ve all got excuses—but God’s call still stands. In Exodus 3–4, Moses says, “I’m not ready… I don’t know what to say… They won’t listen… I’m not a good speaker… Send someone else.” God answers every excuse with His presence, power, and promise: “I AM with you.” This week, trade hesitation for obedience and say yes to what God’s asking you to do—now.

This Sunday we’ll look at Jesus’ words in John 15: “I am the vine, you are the branches.” A fruitful life isn’t about trying harder—it’s about abiding in Christ, letting the Spirit cultivate our hearts, and walking in obedience that glorifies God. Come ready to learn how to move from empty claims to a life overflowing with real fruit.

When God gives vision, it’s never just for us to admire—it’s for us to act. Like Nehemiah, we’re called to seek His direction, pray for His provision, and then rise up together to build what only He can bless.
