The Power of Forgiveness
We’ve all been there—hurt by someone’s words, disappointed by a friend, or stung by betrayal. Our natural instinct is to protect ourselves, and to hold on to the offense. But we find a better way through the wisdom God offers us: forgive. Because love, real love, grows when grace is given.
Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 where we will look at forgiveness and it’s significance in our lives.
Moving Forward
**Note** Service postponed until this evening.
Blessings, Mark
When we take a moment to truly notice how God has cared for us, dried our tears, or brought us simple joy, our heart changes. Our words grow gentle, and our eyes start scanning for someone else to bless. That’s what true gratitude does—it won’t let you stay focused on yourself. Gratitude is an emotion of the heart, excited by a favor or benefit received; a sentiment of kindness or good will towards a benefactor; thankfulness!
God designed thankfulness to be alive. It puts on feet and hands and moves right into the lives of people around you.
Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 as we learn how blessing others, even in hard times, blesses us.
Your Work is Your Calling
God’s Spirit is alive in us. Whether we’re clocking in at a job site, walking into a boardroom, standing behind a counter, or serving in our community, our presence matters. The way we treat others, the way we carry peace into tense situations, and the way we hold fast to what is right—even when it’s hard—these are the traits that represent Christ.
Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 as we look at how the Lord uses us in our work to reach the hurting in our world.
The Ripple Effect
Jesus spoke about how even the smallest gesture done in His name holds value. You don’t need the spotlight on you; you need eyes open to the needs right around you. That person lingering at the store shelf might just need a little help. The one we pass at the store who looks drained could use a cheerful greeting more than we realize. We serve a God who notices birds and counts hairs—so we can trust He notices our small acts too.
Join us tomorrow morning at 7:05 as we learn how important it is for us to act and be Jesus in the world.
Reminder, we will celebrate communion at the end of service.
But the Consequences
What if you woke up tomorrow and realized that everything in your life—your skills, your time, your resources, even your influence—wasn’t just yours to manage but something God trusted you to grow? And what if you didn’t see it as pressure but as a privilege? That kind of perspective helps you move through each day for the kingdom’s benefit. So, the real question is: what are you doing with the Master’s investment?
Join us tomorrow morning, at 7:05, as we talk about the gifts He’s given us and how He wants us to use those gifts in His Kingdom.
Stand By
Have you noticed how ministry moments never wait for our schedule or confidence to rise? Yup, sure have! That kind of readiness, actually not ready in or minds, comes from staying close to Jesus. When our heart remains open to the Holy Spirit’s leading, our ordinary day becomes a ministry opportunity.
Similar to Paul telling Timothy, our calling doesn’t take breaks. It’s a matter of being ready and wanting to serve. God may stir our heart to offer encouragement to a discouraged coworker or prompt us to pray for a stranger who didn’t ask for it. God may open a door we didn’t see coming because He’s not limited to organized outreaches. Ministry doesn’t always look polished. Sometimes, it’s messy, inconvenient, and amazingly disruptive. But one thing I have learned, when He’s in it, it doesn’t matter what it looks like to the world.
Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 as we dig deeper into His word and prepare for the His call to ministry.
Disgruntled Employees
If you were giving encouragement to an obedient people, what temptations would you urge them to guard against? I believe highlighting the danger of pride and self-righteousness would be the biggest area to emphasis. Why, when we become consumed with pride about our own work instead of the work He does through us, it’s fairy easy to move from pride to self-righteousness. Once we start believing we are better than those around us, we become filled with arrogance and self-importance.
Join us Sunday morning at 7:05 as we dig into Paul’s warning and exhortation to the people of Philippi.
