A Lenten Easter & Journey: “Choosing the way of love—one crossroads at a time.” Life is full of crossroads — Lent invites us to slow down and notice the roads we are on. Rather than rushing toward answers, this season encourages honest reflection: What is guiding my life? What truly matters? What leads me toward life, love, and wholeness — and what pulls me away? At its heart, Lent is not about self-improvement, but re-orientation.

questions many people are already asking, whether or not they consider themselves religious: Who am I beneath all the roles and expectations? Where do I truly belong? What happens when grace meets my imperfections? Is real change still possible? And what kind of life is worth giving away? Each message explores one of these questions through Scripture and story, grounding everyday human longing in the grace and presence of God revealed in Jesus.

Advent is a season of waiting—but not the empty kind. It is a holy restlessness, a longing for peace, joy, and renewal that only God can bring. This series invites us into the heart of God’s promises, where longing finds fulfillment in Christ. Here we awaken to hope that steadies despair, to new life where barrenness once reigned, to joy rising from brokenness, and to comfort in our grief. We awaken to presence that makes the ordinary holy, to wonder that takes our breath away, to glory filling the world, to revelation shining for all people, and to the identity spoken over us all: beloved.

Gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a way of seeing the world. Everyday Hallelujah invites us to slow down and notice the presence of grace woven into ordinary moments: a shared meal, a kind word, the sound of laughter, or the quiet rhythm of breath. In a season when life often moves too fast, this two-week series helps us rediscover the sacred in the simple. Like the one healed leper who turned back to say “thank you,” we learn that gratitude isn’t just a response to blessing—it’s the path to deeper wholeness and joy.

Most people hear the phrase “a rising tide lifts all boats” and think of economics or prosperity—that when wealth or resources increase, everyone benefits. While that image carries a sense of hope, The Rising Tide invites us to see something deeper. The tide we speak of is not about money or luck, but about the steady movement of the Spirit that lifts lives, renews hope, and shapes a future filled with promise.

Every person longs to know that their life makes a difference. The truth is—you already carry within you the marks of God’s design: your identity, your gifts, your passions, your abilities, your character, and even your life experiences. None of it is accidental. All of it has been shaped by God’s grace. Week by week we’ll work through the acronym IMPACT—Identity, Mission, Passion, Abilities, Character, and Testimony—discovering how each becomes part of God’s calling on our lives.
Like vessels ready to set sail, we are not meant to drift aimlessly but to be filled with the Spirit’s wind and launched into lives of love and service.

Pain visits every life—through grief, addiction, shame, change, and conflict. This five-week series explores how God doesn’t waste our pain but meets us in it, walks with us through it, and brings forth something new from the hurt. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi—where broken pottery is mended with gold—we glimpse a truth both ancient and healing: the places where we’ve been broken can become the very places where grace shines through. The Kintsugi bowl reminds us that we don’t have to hide our cracks; we can honor them. This is not a series about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about discovering that, even in the hurt, something meaningful and beautiful can take shape.

In a world of surface-level connections and curated personas, the soul craves something more — to be known and not just noticed or liked, but deeply known and still deeply loved. In our July sermon series, Known: Where You Belong, we explore the spiritual and relational journey from longing to belonging — with God, with ourselves, with our families, and with others.
Each week, we reflect on how the deep waters of Scripture speak to our yearning to find a place where we can truly be ourselves, be received with grace, and create space for others to do the same.

God is at work every single day—often quietly, subtly, and in moments we least expect. This June, we invite you into a journey of becoming fully awake to God's presence and activity in your everyday life. From life's small contradictions to profound moments of joy and struggle, discover how each experience can become a sacred encounter with God.

Faith is not just about celebration—it’s about perseverance, trust, and lifelong commitment to Christ. This five-week series (April 27–May 25, 2025) will encourage us to build a strong spiritual foundation, develop resilience, engage in community, and step forward in courage. By addressing real-life struggles and faith challenges, it will help new and returning worshippers take their next steps in faith.

This sermon series invites us into a transformative journey—one that moves from confronting our inner struggles to embracing the fullness of resurrection life. The sermons explore fresh starts, renewal, rediscovery, transformation, and ultimately, the promise, hope, and call of Easter. Each step in this journey leads us toward living fully and becoming new, as we grow into the people God created us to be.
