What does it really mean to follow Jesus? 🤔

Not simply admiring his teaching. Not fitting him around the life we already want. But following him wherever he leads—even when the road is costly.

This is the world of Luke 8–10. 📖
A part of the Bible where we see Jesus’ authority over evil and death, hear him revealed as God’s chosen King, and watch as he sets his face towards Jerusalem—with the cross waiting in the distance.

What if following Jesus means walking the same road he walked? ✝️

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new series, *The Road to the Cross*, and discover who Jesus is, why he came, and what it means to follow him with our whole lives.

What happens when one generation stops passing on the gospel? 🤔

Not a problem for someone else. Not a challenge for the distant future. But a responsibility for every Christian, every church, and every generation.

This is the world of 2 Timothy. 📖
A letter written by the Apostle Paul from prison as he faces the end of his life. His concern is not for his comfort or his legacy, but for the gospel—guarding it, suffering for it, and passing it on faithfully to others.

What if the most important thing we leave behind isn't a building, a ministry, or a reputation—but the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ? ✝️

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new series, Handing on the Glorious Gospel, and discover Paul's final charge to remain faithful to Christ and his Word.

What do you do when the world around you pulls you away from God? 🤔
Not an easy life. Not a safe environment. But faith—lived out under pressure, in a place that doesn’t share it.

This is the world of Daniel 1–7. 📖
A part of the Bible where we see God’s people in exile: drawing lines in private, standing firm in public, facing real consequences—and trusting God with the outcome.

What if the God who rules over every kingdom is also the One who sees, saves, and sustains his people? 👑

Join us this Sunday as we begin a new series, The Eternal Kingdom, and discover the God who is in control—even when everything feels uncertain.
