How much of your life are you rushing through before it even has a chance to matter?

Pastor Tim talked about Jesus’ final command in Matthew 28 — and somehow turned it into a hard conversation about time, grief, purpose, and the people we keep meaning to show up for. One line stuck with everybody: “Time is all we really have.” What’s something lately that made you slow down and pay attention?

"I was so hurt and so broken."

Those words carry a lifetime of emotion.

The older we get,
the more we realize that achievements,
deadlines,
and schedules fade.

But the moments we shared with people stay with us.

Time is all we really have.

Everybody knew the slogan:
“I want to be like Mike.”

But then came the question nobody expected.

“Why can’t we be like Jesus?”

Whether you’re religious or not, that question makes you stop and think about who we model our lives after.

Being called can sound like pressure.
Maybe it’s really an invitation.

Pastor Tim Shaw explores Matthew 28:16–20 and “We Are Called!”—how the Gospel meets ordinary people with purpose, presence, and courage for real life.

This Sunday at 11:15 AM, in person or online.

What do you do when your soul is thirsty, but you’ve gotten good at looking fine?

Pastor Tim Shaw preached Pentecost like a cold drink after a long run.
The Spirit doesn’t just fill us up — it spills out through kindness, patience, prayer, and the people we almost walked past.

Where have you seen God show up in an ordinary moment lately?

They may have hurt you, but they don’t get to decide who you become.

That’s the hard part about love.

It is easy to be kind when everything is peaceful.
It is harder when someone damages something you cared about, disrespects you, or gives you a reason to shut down.

But sometimes the real gift is choosing not to let what happened to you change what is good in you.

1 Corinthians 12 says the Spirit doesn't make duplicates — it makes you specifically, on purpose, for something only you can do.

This Memorial Day weekend, we're exploring what it looks like to finally step into that.

Most of us are running on empty and calling it fine.

John 7 describes Jesus standing up in a crowd and saying — if you're thirsty, come.

Pastor Tim Shaw explores what it means to stop managing that thirst and start letting the Spirit actually lead you somewhere.This Sunday at 11:15 AM, in person or online.

Come as you are — trying us once is okay.

Something changed that day that couldn't be unchanged.

Acts 2 is the story of what gets passed down — and what you choose to do with it. This Memorial Day weekend, we're sitting with what it means to carry something forward that actually matters.

This Sunday at 11:15 AM, in person or online.

What would you do the morning after watching everything you'd counted on disappear?

The disciples faced that exact moment on Ascension Sunday — and somehow, they came back bursting with joy.

Pastor Tim Shaw unpacked why that matters for anyone running low on hope right now. Between a late-night text about a grieving son, rescued tadpoles, and a job interview that changed everything, this one hits different.

What's the thing you're having trouble seeing past right now?
