Resolution vs Solution

SUNDAYS, JAN 12 – FEB 2, 2025

This series unpacks the difference between setting resolutions and implementing solutions. While resolutions are intentional goals and big-picture dreams, true transformation happens through the daily habits and actions that align with God’s purpose. Join us as we explore how to move beyond planning to practical steps of faith, trusting God to guide our journey.

Love On Purpose

SUNDAYS, FEB 9 – MAR 9, 2025

Strong, enduring relationships don’t happen by chance—they are built on intentional love, trust, and faith. This series explores biblical principles for cultivating relationships that stand the test of time, whether in marriage, family, friendships, or the community of believers. Anchored in Ecclesiastes 4:12, "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken," we’ll discover how to invite God into our relationships to create bonds that are rooted in His eternal love and wisdom.

Forgiven

SUNDAYS, MAR 23 – APR 20, 2025

This series continues where "Flawed Follower" left off, revealing how God not only uses but blesses those with deeply stained pasts. Even the most revered figures in the Bible—Abraham, David, Peter, Paul, and others—had failures that many of us would struggle to look past today. Yet, God's purpose for them was never hindered by their flaws. It wasn’t just their faith or righteousness that allowed God to work through them—it was His forgiveness. Their stories remind us that no mistake is too great for God’s grace, and He can redeem and use anyone for His glory.
