Nobody plans to be a worrier.No one wakes up and says, “My goal this year is to be more anxious.” And yet, if we’re honest, worry feels like a constant background noise in our lives—about money, kids, health, relationships, the future… you name it. In Matthew 6:25–34, right in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus pauses and…
Every so often, someone says a sentence that quietly rewires the way you see your life. For our church, one of those sentences is this: “We are in the people business.” Not the building business.Not the program business.Not the “keep everyone comfortable” business. The people business. That line isn’t just a clever saying—it’s deeply biblical. Philippians 2:1–11 gives us a…
It’s Grad Sunday, so it’s natural to talk about the future: college, jobs, plans, dreams. But underneath all of that is a bigger question every one of us has to answer—whether you’re 18 or 80: What is my life actually for? If we don’t know the answer, we’ll inevitably live for less than we were made for—like using a chainsaw…
This weekend our church hosted a marriage conference with Pastor Wayne from Mississippi. On Sunday he preached from Ephesians 3:14–21, and the heart of the message was simple and huge: 👉 Your family matters deeply to God.👉 God wants to use your ordinary family in extraordinary ways.👉 And He’s already given you everything you need in Jesus to see that…
Big idea: Jesus doesn’t just make bad people “better” or addicts “sober.”He raises dead hearts to life, rewrites stories, and then sends those same people out to carry His hope to others. That’s what we heard through The Way Ministry, Chase, and Jud:Jesus regenerates, disciples, and then deploys. 1. Jesus Doesn’t Rehab You — He Regenerates You Kels said it…
This Sunday we stepped out of Luke and into Matthew 5 — not for a long series, but for a reminder of something essential to our mission as a church. We love global missions. We celebrate the Cooperative Program. We rejoice that Baptists have been among the greatest missionary-sending movements in history. But we cannot outsource the Great Commission. The…
From Mark 5:24–34 Some stories in Scripture hit us right in the heart. Mark 5 is one of them. It’s emotional, raw, and painfully relatable. It’s the story of a woman who spent twelve years stuck in suffering—and the moment everything changed when she reached out and touched Jesus. This isn’t just a story about ancient pain. It’s a story…
Living faithfully in the in-between. This past Sunday looked different for our church family. A blizzard pushed us indoors and onto our screens, but God still met us in His Word. Pastor Nick shared from Matthew 24:36–51—a passage many of us have read dozens of times but can suddenly hit with fresh weight. Jesus is clear: He is returning. We…
