Global | Understanding Lost

The gospel is for everyone, but there are still people around the world who have never heard about a God who loves them. It’s not that they’ve rejected Him—they’ve just never had the chance. They have no Christian friends or neighbors, no churches, no Bible. In some places, it’s even illegal to be a Christian. As followers of Jesus, we must care about both: the lost in our own communities and the unreached across the world.

Overwhelmed | Resentment and Gratitude

Life is full of challenges, but how we respond makes all the difference. When we face trials, we have a choice: to grow bitter with resentment or to lean into gratitude.

Holy Week | When God's Plans Don't Line Up With My Plans

Disappointment comes when our reality doesn’t match our expectations.

Life can be full of those moments—when things don’t turn out the way we hoped, and sometimes, that disappointment is even directed at God. The same was true for the people in Jesus’ day. They expected a powerful king, but instead, they got a suffering Savior. What do we do with our disappointments? How do we respond when life lets us down—and could trusting God's plan, even when it doesn't match ours, lead to deeper faith and unexpected hope?

Faith in Action

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with just a small boy’s lunch. What seemed small became more than enough in His hands. This story reminds us that God can do far more with what we give Him than we ever could on our own.

Overwhelmed | When You're Tired of Being Tired

Have you ever counted down the days to a vacation, only to return just as exhausted as before? We long for the moment we can finally take a break—from work, responsibilities, and the chaos of everyday life. But when that break comes, it never seems to be enough. Before we know it, we're overwhelmed all over again. Jesus offers a deeper kind of rest—not just in moments of escape, but in the middle of our work, our struggles, and our everyday lives.

Overwhelmed | What To Do When You're Overwhelmed

We’ve all been there—too much to do, not enough time, unexpected bad news, financial stress, or family struggles. When life feels like it’s too much, how should we respond?

Moving Forward Together | Move Forward

As Christians and as a church, we must be mindful of our tendency to drift spiritually. How can we combat complacency and continue to move forward in our relationship with God?
