A Voice in the Wilderness: Revelation 1:9-18

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.

This is Who Your Are: Romans 8:14-17

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.

Dry Bones: Ezekiel 37

This Sunday, we explored one of the most powerful passages in the Bible: Ezekiel 37’s Dry Bones. And we heard how sometimes you have to speak life before you see life. Sometimes you have to declare resurrection while you’re still standing in a graveyard. Because even in the valley, God still breathes. And when He does, dry bones rise.

For the Glory of Christ: 1 Corinthians 11:2-16

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.

Scars and All: John 20:24-29

Even after Easter, faith can feel complicated. In John 20, Thomas reminds us that doubt isn’t the enemy of faith—it can be the doorway to deeper trust. This week, Pastor Dave encouraged us to bring our honest questions to Jesus, knowing He meets us with love, not shame, and invites us to believe again.

The Whole Story: John 20:1-10

Easter isn’t the end of the story — it’s the moment the whole story has been leading to. From the garden to the cross to the empty tomb, God's crimson thread of redemption has never broken. Today, we hold that thread in our hands and in our hearts, remembering that the resurrection invites us not just to celebrate, but to carry the story forward into a world still longing for hope.

A Heart for the Empty: Luke 24:1-12

On the first Easter morning, hope rose quietly in the middle of confusion and grief. The tomb was empty—not because something was missing, but because everything had changed. Christ is risen, and because He lives, our story isn’t over. The heart of the empty still beats with resurrection power.

A Heart for the Cross: Luke 19:28-40

Palm Sunday feels like a paradox—a day of celebration laced with sorrow. Pastor Dave led us into this tension as we continued The Heart of the King series, reminding us that the cheers of "Hosanna" were real, but so was the road ahead. Today, we don't just wave palm branches; we face the question: Do we truly have a heart for the cross?

A Heart for the Humble: Luke 18:9-14

God’s heart is not drawn to pride, but to humility. In Luke 18, Jesus reminds us that it is not the proud who are justified, but the humble who cry out for mercy. This Lent, we are invited to trust less in ourselves and more in the love of our King.

A Heart for Justice: Luke 18:1-8

This week we began our Lenten journey, exploring what it means to follow the Heart of the King in our new series through Luke’s journey to Jerusalem, and tot he empty tomb. As Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem, He called His followers to radical surrender—not comfort. Where is Jesus leading you this season? Let’s walk the road to the cross together.
