Hey Guys,Yesterday we continued our series Believe: A Study of John with a powerful message from John 6:60–71 entitled “Turning Back or Pressing On.” It was a passage that forced us to consider one of the most searching questions Jesus ever asked:“You do not want to go away also, do you?” (v. 67).This moment in John’s Gospel is both sobering and hopeful. Sobering, because many who once followed Je...  Read More

Hey Guys,Have you ever noticed how easy it is to start something, but how much harder it is to finish it?

Hey Guys,Yesterday, our country was jolted by news that Charlie Kirk, political commentator, speaker, husband and father, was assassinated while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University. The act itself—violence aimed at someone exercising free speech—strikes at the heart of what it means to live in a society that values liberty and dialogue. And for many, it is a deeply personal wound: fear ...  Read More

Hey Guys,Yesterday, our church gathered around God’s Word to be reminded of what a deacon truly is—and what a deacon is not. The sermon, “Called to Care, Committed to Christ, Commissioned to Serve,” helped us see clearly that the role of a deacon is not about authority, control, or running the church. Instead, it is a calling to humble service, supporting the pastor, caring for the needs of the co...  Read More

Hey Guys,What does it really mean to be a deacon?In many churches, the role of deacons has been misunderstood. Some see it as a position of authority, a board of decision-makers, or even a place of power within the church. But when we go back to the New Testament, we find something very different. A deacon is not called to rule the church—they are called to serve the church.In Acts 6 and 1 Timothy...  Read More

Hey Guys,This past Sunday, we walked through one of the most powerful passages in John’s Gospel—John 6:22–59—where Jesus declares, “I am the bread of life.” It was a reminder that while manna in the wilderness provided temporary nourishment, only Jesus Christ, the Messiah, gives life that lasts forever.We saw how the crowds were eager for another miracle meal, yet they missed the greater truth: Je...  Read More

Hey Guys,We live in a world that is hungry. Hungry for success. Hungry for approval. Hungry for fulfillment. Yet no matter how much we achieve, acquire, or experience, the hunger always seems to return.This isn’t a new problem. In John 6, after Jesus fed the five thousand, the crowds chased Him across the sea—not because they truly believed in Him, but because they wanted more bread. They longed f...  Read More

Hey Guys,Yesterday, we opened God’s Word to John 6:16–21 and were reminded of one of the most beautiful truths in the Christian life: the presence of Jesus changes everything.The disciples were in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, battered by wind and waves, straining at the oars in the dark. They were exactly where Jesus had told them to be—yet they still faced a storm. And in the middle of their...  Read More

Hey Guys,Life often feels like we’re rowing against the wind. The storms come—sometimes without warning—and we find ourselves weary, anxious, and afraid. In John 6:16–21, the disciples experienced this very thing. They were in the middle of the sea, straining at the oars, when darkness fell, the winds rose, and their hearts were gripped with fear.And then—Jesus came.He didn’t calm the storm first....  Read More

Hey Guys,Yesterday’s message from John 6:1–15, “What Jesus Can Do with a Willing Heart,” was a powerful reminder that God isn’t looking for greatness—He’s looking for surrender. As we studied the feeding of the five thousand, we saw the miracle unfold not just through the power of Jesus, but through the simple offering of a young boy who was willing to place what little he had in the hands of the ...  Read More

Hey Guys,Have you ever felt like what you have to offer just isn’t enough?Maybe you feel small, unqualified, or stretched too thin to make a difference. Maybe life has left you empty—unsure if God can really use someone like you. If that’s where you are, this Sunday’s message is for you.In John 6:1–15, we’ll look at one of the most well-known miracles in the life of Jesus: the feeding of the five ...  Read More

Hey Guys,What happens when a nation forgets God?What happens when worship grows cold and hearts grow hard?What does God say to a people drifting from truth, justice, and holiness?This Wednesday, we begin a powerful new series titled “Voices of Fire: Truth for Today from the Minor Prophets.” These twelve short books at the end of the Old Testament may be called "minor," but their messages are bold,...  Read More
