Repentance means turning around.

It’s more than recognizing our sin or feeling sorry for what we’ve done. It’s turning away from our rebellion and turning toward Jesus.

No matter where you’ve been or what direction you’ve been heading, Jesus invites you to turn toward Him.

His grace is greater than your past. ❤️

What might God do through your faithfulness?

Peter could never have imagined what God would accomplish through him. He simply stepped forward, trusted Jesus, and allowed the Holy Spirit to work through him.

God isn’t asking you to be impressive. He’s asking you to be faithful.

Take the next step. Trust Him with the outcome.

🎧 Listen to the sermon:

Jesus restores, redeems, and radically transforms lives. In Acts 2, we see Peter’s transformation from a man who once denied Jesus out of fear to one who boldly proclaimed Christ to thousands through the power of the Holy Spirit. Peter’s story reminds us that God can use anyone who fully surrend...

What if following Jesus is about more than simply knowing all of the right answers?

What if He wants a relationship with you that changes the way you think, live, make decisions, handle difficulties, and even see the world?

That's what we explored last Sunday in a sermon called "The River of Life." The invitation was to stop simply drifting downstream and to grab ahold of the rescue God that has been provided through Jesus.

We’d love to have you join us this Sunday at 6:00 PM as we worship, learn, and grow together.

Come as you are. We’d love to see you!

Maybe the question isn’t whether you believe in Jesus.

Maybe the better question is: What difference is believing in Jesus actually making in my life?

That question took us somewhere unexpected this week. If you weren’t with us, we encourage you to listen to the sermon "The River of Life" and see what you think.

And if you were there… maybe listen again with that question in mind.

Is it possible to know all of the right things… and still be missing something?

We can know the stories.
We can know the answers.
We can even say we believe.

But what happens when knowing about Jesus becomes different from actually knowing Jesus?

This week’s message asks some uncomfortable, but incredibly important questions about what genuine faith really looks like.

You may even be surprised to see yourself in ways that you wouldn't expect.

Jesus didn't just rise from the dead to prove who He was. He rose from the dead so we could have hope, forgiveness, and new life.

He is Alive, His Kingdom has come, He has a purpose for you.

Listen to this week's message and discover why the resurrection still changes lives today. https://baxterway.org/media/2438398/jesus-is-alive

John ends his Gospel by reminding us that he could have written story after story about Jesus. There was more evidence, more miracles, more moments that he could've shared.

But John says he has given us enough to know who Jesus is and to believe! And now comes the question that matters:

What will you do with what you know about Jesus?

Will you let Him restore you?
Will you love Him?
Will you serve others?
Will you stop comparing?
Will you follow Him?

“Follow me.” — Jesus

Faith & Finance is a 12-week course that helps with practical money skills. It's designed for real people and real-life financial situations — whether you feel like you have no money to manage or simply want to manage it better.

We'll eat, laugh, learn, and grow together as we explore what the Bible says about money and develop practical skills for managing it.

Each weekly gathering would be 2 hours and include a meal.

We're considering offering this course in our community and would love to know if there is interest and what schedule would work best.

“As for you, follow me.” - John 21:22

Peter wanted to know what was going to happen to John. Jesus redirected his attention with a simple command, don’t worry about everyone else. You follow Me.

How often do we get distracted by comparison? We look at someone else’s journey, someone else’s calling, someone else’s blessings and we lose sight of what Jesus is asking us to do.

You don’t have to know every detail of the road ahead. You just need to follow Jesus.

Sometimes when we fail God, our first instinct is to hide from Him. We feel ashamed and maybe we make excuses. We start to pull away and the farther we drift, the more distant God seems.

But John 21 gives us a beautiful picture: Jesus was waiting on the shore. Peter had failed Jesus, but Jesus was still pursuing Peter.

Maybe you’ve been running from God because of something you’ve done. Maybe you feel like you’ve gone too far. Come back.

Jesus isn’t calling you to pretend you never failed. He’s calling you to receive His grace, be restored, and follow Him again.

🎧 Listen to the full sermon:

In John 21, Jesus meets His disciples in the middle of their uncertainty, failure, and regret to offer them restoration. Through Peter’s three-fold denial and three-fold restoration, we see that failure does not have to be the end of our story. Jesus calls us to love Him, serve others, leave compa...
