This Easter season, we’re talking about the promises of Jesus that bring peace in the midst of life’s biggest worries. His resurrection wasn’t just a historical event—it’s proof that He has power over every fear we face today. He came to bring hope to real people with real struggles.

So if you’ve ever found yourself lying awake at night, wrestling with anxiety, or just wondering if there’s more to life, we’d love for you to join us as we look to Jesus who offers real and lasting peace.

Promises: I AM the Good Shepherd

Life can be overwhelming, can’t it? Maybe it’s uncertainty about the future, the difficulty of loss, or the stress of not knowing how you'll make it. Anxiety is everywhere—and if you’re feeling it, you’re not alone. This week we learn the first of three PROMISES, out of John 10, that can be encouragement during these uncertain times.

The Joy of a Pure Heart

Questions & Answers

Life is hard. We experience all kinds of things that make it difficult to 'keep on keeping on'.  But if God is for us, who can be against us? This week we finish up Romans 8 with the last 8 verses. It is full of encouragement to remember we are MORE than conquerors!

Joyful Devotion

We do good works because of what God did for us, we don't have to earn God's grace by doing good works. This week we learn how our faith is a gift and why we should live with joyful devotion to our God!

Life here on earth is full of incredible joys and heartbreaking sorrows. The greatest joys have a way of fading and our sorrows reveal a fallen world, different from what God intended. Both are reminders that we're not yet where we're meant to be. 

During the month of February, there will be a collection of messages about Heaven. Our hope is to answer some of your questions and point you to what scripture says about Heaven. In the midst of that though, we think you'll come away with joy as we better understand what God has prepared for those who love him. 

For further reading on Heaven:

Isaiah 65:17-25
Isaiah 25:6-9
Revelation 21
Revelation 22
Revelation 7:15-17 
Revelation 7:9-12

An Essential to Spark our Joy

Interruptions are Opportunities

Joy in our lives is a project. And like most projects, they never quite go like you'd expect. They take longer than you'd hope and sometimes you come away learning something you didn't know at the beginning. This week we take a look at the second half of chapter 1 in Philippians. Paul is writing from an unexpected place and he leaves us with 4 opportunities to consider for our lives. 

September 15, 2024
