Join us as we worship God
How do you make a point when you have limited time? How do you say what needs to be said? We all understand the power of our words, but there is added urgency when you know time is short. Jesus knew he had limited time to prepare the disciples for how the world would change. His lessons always had power, but this would be different. What do we learn about what Jesus shares during the Last Supper? Join us as we get to the Heart of the Matter, unpacking the impact of Final Words.
We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00, or you can watch any time on Facebook or YouTube.

Happy Mother’s Day – Celebrate With Us
Today we celebrate love! The love we receive from two of the most special places. It’s Mother’s Day. Today, our culture shows gratitude and honor to those women who have loved and raised us. Whether you are a mom or your mom is still in your life, celebrate her today! Also, show love to those women who did not give birth to you, but loved you like a mother does. Also, we note that those who struggle today, like women who wanted to be mothers but aren’t, women who have lost a child, women whose relationships with their children are not what they should be, and children whose moms weren’t able to love them in healthy ways, know that you are seen and loved too.
The second source of love is our ultimate source, God. Today, we study how Jesus taught us again that God’s love is available to all, even though some won’t accept it. Join us as we celebrate love that transforms and cares so deeply!
We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00, or you can watch any time on Facebook or YouTube.

All of us, the entire world, and all of human history are forever changed because of what Christ has done! Let us lift our hearts and voices together in praise to God, for Christ is risen!

However, there are times when these connections may feel weak, especially when life’s challenges become overwhelming.

Worship with us today – March 30
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
There’s a popular saying: “Hope springs eternal.” Has this been true for you? Many people are experiencing rising levels of cynicism, pessimism, and worry, making it increasingly difficult to find hope. For the followers of Jesus, hope should “spring eternal,” but we must ask ourselves if we truly offer the world a hopeful witness. If you’re struggling to find hope today, you’re in the right place. We are discussing Jesus, who is Our Ever-Present Help, and how we find Jesus as our hope.

How can we walk with the courage of Christ?
Sometimes, it would be nice to avoid our problems, but we know that life doesn’t work that way. Today, we encounter Jesus in a similar situation—His enemies are threatening Him. However, Jesus does not hide from them, nor will He allow them to deter Him from His mission. He understands that the path ahead will be difficult and dangerous. How can Jesus’ example inspire us to confront our challenges with courage? Join us today for “I Must Press On.”
