We weren’t created to live our faith from Sunday to Sunday. Pastor Terry challenges us to build a daily relationship with God through His Word and prayer. Like Moses, we’re invited to intentionally make space to meet with God—not just for what He can give us, but because we want more of Him.

In Galatians 6, Pastor Rob reminds us that we weren’t meant to carry life’s burdens alone. When someone falls, fails or faces a crushing weight, we’re called to come close and help carry it. What we sow matters, because every seed leads to a harvest. As we choose to sow into the Spirit, we can trust that what we plant today will be worth it in the end.

Pastor Rob challenges us to examine our own hearts, embrace God’s grace for others and learn to love what God loves.

No matter how far we run, God’s grace reaches farther.

True holiness is revealed through generosity, compassion and surrender.

Together, we believe one day of sacrifice can make an eternal impact and help bring hope to people around the world.

Pastor Rob reminded us that forgiveness isn’t a side theme of the Bible — it’s the way the Kingdom of God operates. As we walked through the process of forgiveness, we were challenged not to stop short of true healing, but to keep doing the hard work of releasing others the same way Christ has forgiven us.
