February 1st, 2026 “Love Before Labor”
This Sunday we’re in Ephesians 4:11–12, where Paul explains how Jesus builds His church: He gives leaders as gifts—apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers—“for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.”
January 25th, 2026 “How’s the Herd”
The point is simple: be diligent to know the condition of whatever God has put under your care. If you don’t really know how something is doing, you can’t steward it well, and you can’t lead it wisely.
January 18th, 2026 “Prophecy Update 2026”
We’ll open our Bibles and listen for what Jesus is actually saying about today’s deception, pressure, worship, endurance, and the Lamb’s sure victory. Then we’ll take a clear-eyed look at why our moment (yes—even AI and “intelligent machines”) makes Scripture feel startlingly on target and His coming near—without hype, fear, or date-setting. Come get anchored—not in speculation, but in certainty: Christ reigns, Christ returns, and history ends on His throne.
January 11th, 2025 “God’s Grip vs Our Grit”
Trying harder won’t keep you standing. God’s Word will. Psalm 119:116–117 is a prayer for the moment your legs give out: “Uphold me… hold me up, and I shall be safe.” Learn what it means to be supported by God’s promises—so you face 2026 anchored, not anxious.
December 21, 2025 “The Gift”
When Love Came Down- A 3 Part Series, “The Descent, The Rescue, The Gift”
December 14th, 2025 “The Rescue”
When Love Came Down- A 3 Part Series, “The Descent, The Rescue, The Gift” You weren’t bought back with pocket change—you were rescued at the cost of Christ’s blood. In 1 Peter 1:17–21, we’ll see what we were saved from, what we were saved for, and why the price changes everything.
December 7th, 2025 “The Descent”
When Love Came Down- A 3 Part Series, “The Descent, The Rescue, The Gift” Christmas is the story of the eternal Son of God crossing the distance from heaven’s throne to our broken world—laying aside the privileges of His position, becoming fully human, and humbling Himself all the way to death on a cross, so that we, through faith in Him, might live forever in the joy of His unparalleled, glorious presence.
