When we think about money and what it means to live a rich life, we’re invited to look beyond what we accumulate and consider what truly matters. The GRIT series continued with Week 4: A Rich Life as we explored how God views money, provision, and generosity. We were reminded that while money itself isn’t bad, it can easily become a threat to our relationship with God if it takes the place of trus...

When everything around us is competing for our attention, we’re reminded that what we focus on shapes how we live and how we see the world. The GRIT series continued with Week 3: Get Focused as we wrestled with the question of where our attention truly belongs. With endless opportunities and distractions pulling at us, we were challenged to examine what is eternal versus what is temporary—and whet...

When the pace of life feels relentless and exhaustion becomes the norm, we’re reminded to pause and ask where our strength is really coming from. The GRIT series continued with Week 2: Energy Reset as we explored the question so many of us carry: Is this how it was meant to be? Together, we looked at the life of Jesus and the different seasons of His ministry, noticing where He spent His energy an...

When the calendar turns and a new year stretches out before us, we’re reminded that time is a gift—and how we use it matters. A new series began with Grit, launching with Week 1: No Time to Waste. Together, we leaned into the reality that we all have the same amount of time each day, yet how we choose to spend it reveals what we value most. Through Scripture, we were challenged to consider God’s r...

Just when we think the Christmas story begins in a manger, God invites us to see a much bigger beginning—one that stretches back to eternity. In Week 3 of Christmas at Granger, An Invitation Home, we explore the origin of Jesus and what it truly means that He came to live among us. Through John 1 and powerful moments throughout Scripture, we’re reminded that this is not just the story of where Jes...

Just when we think we’ve settled into what feels familiar—our routines, expectations and sense of belonging—God reminds us that our stories shape us—and He’s still writing them. In Week 2 of Christmas at Granger, A Joyful Home, we look at the powerful influence of where we come from. Through the stories of Zechariah, Joseph, Daniel and the wise men, we’re reminded that God uses every season, every...

Just when we think we’ve settled into what feels familiar—our routines, expectations and sense of belonging—God reminds us that home is more than a place. In Week 1 of Christmas at Granger, No Place Like Home, we explored what it really means to belong. Through the story of Mary and Elizabeth, we’re reminded that God meets us in connection, community and unexpected moments of grace. Home isn’t jus...

Just when we think we’ve made sense of everything—our plans, our expectations, even our emotions—life has a way of revealing what’s still beneath the surface. In Week 5 of our series, On the Run, we stepped into Running Mad. Anger isn’t always easy to name. Sometimes it comes from deep wounds and other times it rises from the smallest frustrations. But just like Jonah, we don’t have to run from wh...

Right when we think we have life figured out, God has a way of redirecting us for something greater. In Week 4 of our series, On the Run, we stepped “Into the Water.” Sometimes life takes a turn we didn’t expect—detours, delays or moments that leave us unsure of what’s next. But just like Jonah, when we surrender and step into God’s plan, He can use even the unexpected to change lives, restore hop...

Even in the unexpected, God can use our story to point others to Him. In Week 3 of our series, On the Run, we continued with “An Unexpected Turn.” Everyone has an opportunity to be a witness—to share what they’re passionate about and what God has done to rescue them. Just like Jonah’s story, our lives can reflect God’s grace and redemption when we recognize and celebrate His work in us. Missed the...

Even on the run, God can stop us in our tracks and remind us that He’s there. In Week 2 of our series, On the Run, we continued with “Stopped in Your Tracks.” Sometimes, the dark seasons of life are where God finds us—running in our fear, shame, regret or rebellion. But His grace has a way of interrupting our path, calling us to pause and showing us that He’s never far away. When we stop and refoc...

Even when we drift off course, God never stops pursuing us. In Week 1 of our series, On the Run, we began with “The Wrong Direction”—a look at how fear, pride or stubbornness can pull us off course. Yet even in our disobedience, God’s compassion and grace meet us right where we are. He invites us to turn back, trust His plans and follow the path He’s already prepared. Missed the message?

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: When we follow Jesus, we don’t have to stay stuck—He leads us into something new. In Week 4 of our series, Stuck, we explored what it looks like to become unstuck and on mission. With Jesus as our guide, the adventure of a lifetime awaits. We’re free to explore, take new trails and trust that He’s got us covered every step of the way. Misse...

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: Freedom is possible—no matter how stuck we feel. In Week 3 of our series, Stuck, we talked about what it means to break free. No matter what we’ve done or where we come from, Jesus offers a way out of the patterns that hold us back. The path to freedom has already been made available—but it’s up to us to choose it. Missed the message? Catch...

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: God can meet us right in the middle of our routines and invite us into something more. In Week 2 of our series, Stuck, we talked about what it feels like to be stuck in a rut—doing the same things day after day, meeting expectations, and wondering if there’s more to life than this. We looked at how Jesus called Peter, Levi, Nathanael and Za...

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: Even when we feel stuck, God makes a way forward. In Week 1 of our series, Stuck, we talked about what it feels like to be stuck. Sometimes we know why, sometimes we don’t—we just know we want out. We ask questions like: “How did I get here?” and “How do I get out of here?” We wonder if anyone can help us get out of the “yuck” we find ourse...

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: The Jesus Method can be applied in practical ways that can help us right here and right now. In Week 4 of our series, The Jesus Method, Ted Bryant walked us through how we can take on Jesus’ approach—to see people the way He does and to enter every conversation with love, understanding and care. We asked: What does Jesus’ mindset toward us...

This weekend’s message reminded us of an important truth: God is still transforming lives today. In Week 3 of our series, The Jesus Method, we talked about the high levels of anger we’re often exposed to—online comment sections, reviews, TV, media, and more—and how responding in anger can shut people down, keeping them from hearing what we’re trying to say. The question we wrestled with was this:...
