This Sunday, we're talking about something hard - about the things that keep us far from God and from being our best selves. We’ll hear a Bible story that shows how Jesus helps people when nothing else seems to work. And we’ll talk about prayer—not as a magic fix, but as a way to bring God into the front seat of our lives instead of leaving Him in the trunk. Come ready to be challenged, comforted, and maybe even surprised by the power of prayer.

Have you ever looked back at a time in your life and suddenly understood it more clearly? A wise person once said,  “Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward.” This Sunday, we’ll look at how that idea connects to Jesus’ command to love others as He loves us. Jesus didn’t just talk about love—He showed it by loving even those who betrayed and hurt Him. Join us as we explore what it means to love with courage, even when it’s hard.

🎓 This Sunday, we’re celebrating our graduating seniors—but the message isn’t just for them. In fact, the best advice we can give might sound a little surprising: don’t graduate. Not from school—but from learning, growing, and becoming who God is calling you to be. The Bible teaches that wisdom is not just about what we know, but how we live—and it’s something we can keep seeking every day. Join us as we talk about how following Jesus means always growing, always learning, and never being done. 🌱

This Sunday is Mother’s Day, and we’re diving into why the Church takes time to celebrate it. It’s more than flowers, cards, or saying thank you—it’s about the kind of love that gives, teaches, protects, and shows up. Jesus prayed for his followers the night before he died, and the way he prayed sounds a lot like the way a loving mother cares for her children. That kind of love isn’t just for moms—it’s what all of us are called to live out in our homes, our friendships, and our faith. Come hear how Jesus shows us the power of love that clings, cares, and never lets go.

The world is always changing, and that change seems to come faster and faster. But there is nothing new about that. Our very state of being is one of change. We constantly hunger for something else. But through it all, God is constant. This week in Modern Worship our resident lay speaker, Patrick Wilson, will explore how God remains constant despite all the changes in our lives. 

What are the most important words in the Bible? Most of us would say things like God, Jesus, love, and faith—and we’d be right! But this week, we’re going to talk about two words that are often misunderstood: conversion and repentance. They’re not just one-time events; they’re part of a lifelong journey with Jesus, full of learning, growing, and turning toward the good. Come hear the story of Paul, a man who went from enemy of the church to one of its greatest leaders—and the everyday people like Ananias who helped make that transformation possible.
