This week’s message looks at a turning point in Scripture. Saul’s final act of disobedience that leads to his rejection by God. He consistently chose what seemed right in his own eyes and in the eyes of others, but not in the eyes of the Lord. We’re reminded that partial obedience is still disobedience, and the cost is real. God calls us not just to say sorry, but to truly repent, to turn from our...

This Sunday, we gather not just to give thanks, but to remember the One we’re thanking. Through every season, God has been faithful. In our highs and our lows, His grace has never run out. Thanksgiving isn’t just a holiday,it’s a posture of the heart. Let’s come together as a church family to celebrate His goodness, reflect on what He’s done, and stir up gratitude for what’s still to come. Whether...

In this week’s message, Saul once again shows us what happens when you lead without trusting God. His foolish oath brings trouble, causes the people to sin, and nearly costs his son Jonathan his life. Disobedience always leads to chaos, but wisdom begins with trusting what God has already revealed in His Word and in Jesus. Don’t follow Saul’s example, follow Christ.

In 1 Samuel 14, Jonathan and his armor-bearer take a bold leap of faith. Just the two of them against a Philistine army. But with hearts fully entrusted to God, their small step led to a miraculous victory. When faith is activated through prayer and right motives, the impossible becomes possible. Don’t wait for the numbers, trust God, step out, and believe for the miraculous.

Victory doesn’t come from numbers or strength; it comes from bold faith in a powerful God. This week’s message is a call to trust in God’s sovereignty and step out with courage, even when the odds are stacked against you. Faith is what turns the tide. Be bold. Be obedient. Let God fight your battles.

In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for the birds and flowers, He’ll surely care for us too. His faithfulness isn’t just comforting; it’s our defense against anxiety. But when we don’t trust Him, we risk missing out on His promises and misrepresenting His goodness to the world. Let’s live lives that show peace is possible, because we know who holds tomorrow.

We’re continuing our series on Christian Joy, but this week we’re zooming in on the faithfulness of God. From creation to the cross, and even in our lowest moments. God’s steadfast love has never failed. Let this message lead you to joy rooted not in your circumstances, but in the unchanging character of a faithful God. Scripture focus: 1 John 1:8–9 • Romans 5:7–8 • Romans 3:1–4 • Psalm 136:23–26

This week’s message explores what happens when fear takes the lead. In this passage, fear drives control, but faith calls us to wait on God. Even when it feels risky. If you’re tempted to take matters into your own hands, remember this: obedience may feel scary, but it’s the pathway to God’s promises. Fix your eyes on Jesus. His grace meets you even when your faith feels weak.

In 1 Samuel 11, Saul steps up in the power of God to lead Israel to victory and unity. It’s more than a military win; it’s a picture of what happens when leaders respond with humility, obedience, and mercy. In every crisis, trust the Spirit’s leading, pursue unity, and be bold enough to show compassion.

In this message, Saul is publicly anointed as king, but not everyone celebrates. Some reject God’s chosen leader, forgetting what God had already done for them. Let’s not be like the worthless men in the story. Let’s remember our deep dependence on God, and honor the One who was despised and rejected for our salvation, Jesus, our true King.

As Saul returns home after being anointed, we see how God’s Spirit leads through prophecy, calling, and obedience. This journey isn’t just about Saul, it’s about how the Spirit works in all of us. Don’t limit what God can do. Seek His Spirit and walk in obedience, you never know what He’s preparing you for.

In this week’s message, Saul’s just out looking for lost donkeys,but God is writing a bigger story. Without even realizing it, Saul is being led into a divine appointment that will change everything. Don’t overlook the ordinary,God often works His greatest plans through the smallest moments. Trust that He’s guiding your steps, even on your most mundane days.

In 1 Peter 1:3-9, we’re reminded that our hope in Jesus isn’t just something we understand, it’s something we live. Hope should shape how we speak, how we carry ourselves at home and at work, and how we respond when life gets hard. Real hope doesn’t just look good on paper; it’s meant to be seen, heard, and felt by the world around us.

The world offers a lot of false hope, but in Christ, we have a hope that’s unshakable. 1 Peter 1:3-9 reminds us that our hope isn’t wishful thinking; it’s a guarantee from the God who has never broken a promise. Put your hope in Jesus, you won’t be disappointed.

In 1 Samuel 7:15–8:22, Israel chooses a human king over God, trading divine leadership for something they could see and control. It’s a powerful reminder of the tension between trusting God’s rule and giving in to the world’s ways. Don’t let fear or pressure lead you to crown something else king. God is the only one truly worthy of that throne.

This week’s message is all about the beauty of coming back to God. When we return, He restores, it’s that simple, and that powerful. As we walk through what it means to truly turn back to Him, let it stir fresh gratitude for what He’s already restored in you, and fresh hope for what’s still to come.

The Ark returns to Israel,but this moment reveals more than just a homecoming. It shows us how both outsiders and insiders misunderstand God’s holiness. We don’t worship Him on our terms. When God exposes us, it’s not to shame us,it’s to draw us closer through repentance, purity, and reverence. He’s a God who loves deeply and judges rightly. Every lie falls before Him. So don’t just let God reside...

After Israel’s defeat, the Philistines captured the Ark and placed it in their temple as a trophy, symbolizing their god’s victory over Israel’s. But God will not be mocked. Like the Ark, Jesus was mocked and presumed defeated, but while in the grave, He was conquering. Every idol, every power, every lie falls before Him. So don’t just let God reside, let Him rule. Tear down every rival.

This week, we’re going back to the beginning,Genesis 1–3, to remember the story we so often forget. Like Israel, we lose sight of who God is and who we are: created with purpose, broken by sin, and desperately in need of rescue. The Good News? We can’t save ourselves, but Jesus already has.

This week’s message is a sobering one—God’s judgment falls on those who try to use His presence while ignoring their own disobedience. God isn’t a tool for personal gain. True faith begins with repentance, surrender, and letting Jesus be Lord over every part of our lives—not just the parts we’re comfortable with.

This week’s message comes straight from Ephesians 2:1–10—a clear picture of the Gospel. We were dead in our sins, but God made us alive in Christ. It’s all grace, not works, and now we’ve been created for good—so let’s live like it!

This week’s message is all about reclaiming a missional mindset—where giving isn’t a side thought, but a shared responsibility. Mission isn’t for a few; it’s for all of us. Let’s give not out of guilt, but from grace—because this mission is ours to carry, and ours to finish.

This week’s message is all about reclaiming a missional mindset—where giving isn’t a side thought, but a shared responsibility. Mission isn’t for a few; it’s for all of us. Let’s give not out of guilt, but from grace—because this mission is ours to carry, and ours to finish.

We’re talking about something that’s both biblical and practical supporting those who serve in ministry. Scripture says the worker is worthy of their wages, and our giving isn’t just obedience, it's a blessing to the Church and to ourselves. This isn’t about guilt—it’s about growth. Let’s rethink our financial faithfulness in light of God’s design for His Church.
