Opening Up to Life

Life doesn’t happen all at once—it comes in phases, and each phase has a purpose. God has designed a time for everything: to grow, to learn, to love, and to give back. But when we rush or mix up those phases, we often end up hurting ourselves and others. In this Father’s Day message, we’ll explore what it means to live wisely, love deeply, and care for the next generation more than we care for ourselves. Come hear how Jesus calls us to grow up in faith, not just for our own sake—but for the future.

This Sunday is Pentecost, one of the most important days in the Christian year—even more important than Christmas! It’s the day we remember how the Holy Spirit was poured out on Jesus’ followers and how the Church was born. Some people were confused or even made fun of what was happening, but others opened their hearts and received something amazing. God still speaks through dreams and visions today, and the Holy Spirit continues to work in our lives if we’re willing to listen. Join us and discover what it means to dream God's dreams and be led by His Spirit!

Have you ever felt left out—or maybe proud to be part of something others couldn’t join? This Sunday, we’re talking about why that feeling matters and what it says about our hearts. God’s love isn’t just for the “in crowd.” Instead, God’s dream is a world where everyone belongs and is cared for. Come ready to think, reflect, and maybe see things a little differently.

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. 🌱
