It's Better When You're Here!

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as we finish our journey through the book of John. This whole month, we’ve been exploring how the Gospel of John reads almost like a comic book—packed with powerful moments, miraculous signs, and bold characters that leap off the page. But more than just entertainment, John gives us a vivid, approachable picture of who Jesus is and what He came to do. In week one, we...

Join guest preacher Brandon Juhasz as he brings us the word this week. Passage: John 3:1-17 CEB

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series through John. The Gospel of John tells the story of God in a way that’s truly worth telling. It’s poetic, bold, and deeply personal. Interestingly, the comic book—created in 1933—did something similar. It made larger-than-life stories and epic moments accessible to the masses. And in a way, so does the Gospel. Last week, we talked about how...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as we start out journey through the Book of John. Today, we open our hearts to a story that has echoed through centuries—the story of Jesus. In this gospel, we’re reminded that the Good News was never meant to be kept quiet. It was meant to be shared, lived, and proclaimed. As we read the gospel together, let's remember: this story isn’t just history—it’s our story. A...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he finishes our series from Anne Lamott's book, "Help, Thanks, Wow". I hope you've found something meaningful in this series on prayer. Prayer is such a profound gift—one we too often leave unopened. My prayer for you, and for all of us, is that we continue to be a people marked by three simple but powerful words: 'Help.' 'Thanks.' And today, 'Wow.' May we be overc...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series: Help, Thanks, Wow. We cannot tell you how many people have reached out this week about last episode’s message on asking for help —clearly, we hit a nerve! It’s a reminder that vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the doorway to deeper connection and grace. As we continue this journey together, may our hearts be marked by gratitude, so that ou...

Join Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he continues our series: Help, Thanks, Wow. Today on Pentecost, we pause to remember that who we are in Christ is shaped, in part, by the people God places in our lives. And in that same breath, we recognize: we are shaping others too—intentionally or not. So today, let us pray for help, listen for help, and recognize the help God sends—often through one another. P...

Join newly ordinated Reverend Michael LeBlanc as he changed everything on Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is the moment when the Gospel was spoken in a language every heart could understand. Fear gave way to faith. Silence turned into speech. And where death once ruled, hope rose up. The Spirit moved then—and still moves now. So we ask you… Who will stand because of you? How will you listen to the sai...

Join Pastor Michael as we begin our new book series from Anne Lamont, "Help, Thanks, Wow". Prayer is daunting, my friends. We've ritualized it, spiritualized it, and in many ways, we’ve made it feel unreachable—like it belongs to someone holier, someone more “put together” than us. And praying with others? That can feel downright impossible. But what if we’ve been looking at prayer all wrong? What...

Join Pastor Michael as he finishes our series through different movies. We live in a culture where identity is often weaponized—used to divide, confuse, or control. But today, let’s pause and shift our focus. Let’s look deeper into who we truly are, not through the lens of culture or opinion, but through the eyes of our Creator. Together, we’ll explore not only our own identity, but also the label...

Join Pastor Michael as he continues our series through different movies. In a world that celebrates the lone hero, may we remember—we were never meant to walk alone. From the very beginning, God designed us for community, for connection, for each other. May we become a people fiercely committed to doing life together, not just as friends, but as brothers and sisters in Christ. Because the fullest...

The love of God is beyond our comprehension—immeasurable, infinite, and mysterious. Because we cannot fully grasp it, we turn to metaphors. We call God our Father. We speak of Him as a friend. And today, we’ll explore another powerful image: the love of a mother. Through this lens, we may come to know God’s heart in a new way. Our hope is not only to understand this divine love so we can share it...

A short time ago, in a galaxy not so far away — in fact, right here — things got... difficult. People were hard to be around. Anger and frustration bubbled beneath the surface of everyday life, threatening to pull us to the dark side. Fear, it seems, has taken hold — lurking in headlines, in our homes, even in our hearts. But today, we celebrate a New Hope. Because perfect love casts out all fear....

Join guest Pastor Jose as he brings the word of the Lord today. Passage: Revelation 2:4

Here we are! It is Resurrection Sunday — the day we celebrate that death didn’t get the final word. Jesus is alive! But I wonder… how many of us walked in here today still carrying the weight of Friday? With the pain of the cross, the loss, the silence — still nipping at our heels? Maybe you're showing up today on fumes, just hoping for a spark — hoping that there really is life on the other side...

Over the past few weeks, Pastor Michael has taken time to explore what it truly means to connect with our Christian walk. We've seen that while piety can shape our outward appearance, it doesn’t make us followers of Christ. Today, we’re shifting the focus from what we do to why we do it. Because at the end of the day, the motivation behind our walk with Jesus matters more than the methods we use....
