We are working on creating a second site for gospel ministry in Lodi at 609 N. Main Street! Excel, Catalyst, and Builders for Christ have been working with us, and we appreciate all that they've been able to do as we get ready. We're planning to start this summer to make some incredible changes.

"Why the Hesitation?"
Matthew 28:16-20

Why do we hesitate to trust God’s promises?

Tomorrow, we explore how doubt and hesitation keep us from fully embracing the certainty of God’s presence and His Word. Discover why God’s promises never fail and how Jesus’ assurance, “I am with you always,” gives confidence for faith, worship, and witness. Listen and be encouraged by the God who always keeps His promises.

May the Lord bless you through the message today!

"Jesus Satisfies the Thirsty"
John 7:37-39

We are constantly told that happiness is just one more purchase, achievement, or life change away. Yet, the human heart remains restless and constantly searching, trying to satisfy a spiritual thirst with earthly things that eventually run dry. Jesus addressed this very struggle with a powerful invitation: “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!” Our souls were created for God, and nothing else can truly satisfy us. Rather than pointing us toward self-improvement or earthly philosophies, Jesus directs us to Himself as the ultimate source of living water. He alone rescues us from the parched desert of sin and offers the deep, lasting fulfillment and grace that our hearts are truly longing for. Learn more this Sunday.

Today and Forever
Ephesians 1:15-23

In a world where people move on, forget, or leave faith behind, Ascension Day reminds us that our story is forever joined to Christ’s story. Jesus lived, died, rose, and ascended to give us forgiveness, hope, and eternal life. God calls us to a living, growing faith that fills both heart and mind today and forever.

Living Without Fear
1 Peter 3:13-22

In a world where following Christ can bring criticism, rejection, or suffering, 1 Peter 3:13–22 reminds us not to live in fear but in hope. Peter encourages Christians to regard Christ as Lord in their hearts, trusting that his victory puts every hardship into perspective. Even when suffering comes, believers are called to respond with gentleness, confidence, and a clear witness to the hope they have in Jesus. Through his victory over sin, death, and Satan, and through the promises given in baptism, we belong to the risen Savior. Because Christ suffered, rose, and reigns for us, we can endure suffering with hope and reflect his love even in difficult circumstances. Learn more this Sunday.
