When the world feels like it’s falling apart, Revelation 1 reminds us where to look: not at the chaos around us, but at the glory of Christ among us. This past Sunday, Pastor Dave opened our new series in Revelation by reminding us that the book doesn’t begin with beasts or battles—it begins with Jesus. Present. Glorious. Gracious. And He holds the keys. If all you have is Jesus, and all that remains is His glory—then you have everything.

On this Pentecost Sunday, we explored Romans 8:14-17 to see Pentecost not as an origin story but an identity shift. It is a call to us to not just receive the Spirit, but to follow the Spirit and live into the mission we’ve been entrusted: to carry the Gospel adn proclaim the goodness of Jesus.

On Mothers’ Day we studied 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 and heard how Paul isn’t silencing women—he’s honoring them. In a culture of shame, the gospel restores dignity. In a church divided by roles, Christ calls us to worship side by side. This passage isn’t about hierarchy. It’s about glory.

We launched a new series called The Power of Grace, exploring the depth of God's undeserved love. Drawing from Ephesians 2:1–10 and Luke 8:43–48, we were reminded that grace isn’t something we earn—it’s a gift freely given. Like the woman who reached for Jesus' cloak in desperation, we too can find healing when we stop trying to fix ourselves and instead reach for Christ. Grace saves us, makes us alive, and invites us to live in freedom.

In the final week of the Devoted series, we focus on what it means to be a church family. Fellowship is more than just gathering—it’s a deep, sacrificial togetherness, modeled by the early church. Despite the messiness of family, we are called to love, restore, and remain devoted to one another. The world often sees the church as judgmental rather than loving, revealing a gap between who we are called to be and how we are perceived. Today, we are invited to step into deeper devotion and truly live as a family, serving and loving like Jesus.

In Acts 2:42-47, the early church’s devotion to communion was central to their life together. In the third sermon of our “Devoted” series, we explored how communion is more than a ritual—it is a sacred encounter with Christ, a unifying act for the body of believers, and a proclamation of redemption. When we approach the table with expectancy, we step into the grace and restoration Christ offers. Let’s commit to making communion a defining practice in our lives, just as the early church did, and experience its transformative power.
