Carrying the weight of regret? Feeling like you're too far gone? Peter knew exactly what that felt like. But Jesus met him on the shoreline with grace, not condemnation. Jesus didn't just die to forgive you—He died to RESTORE you! You have a brand new purpose. 🌊🙌

Have you quietly believed the lie that Jesus is done with you? 🛑 The Gospel says otherwise! The same Savior who was betrayed is the Savior who restores. He didn't go to the cross for you to live trapped in shame. He is meeting you right where you are today. ✨ Who needs this encouragement today?

Summer Conversations ☀️💬

This week’s question:
Who had (or is having) the biggest influence on your walk with Christ? Why?

Think about the people God has used to encourage, guide, challenge, and strengthen your faith. Take time this week to share those stories together — around the table, in the car, or wherever summer takes you.

Faith grows through conversation. ❤️

Did you know that Jesus was angry at death? ✝️ Even knowing He was about to raise Lazarus, Jesus wept and felt deep anger at the pain death causes. Your faith doesn't require you to pretend loss isn't a big deal. We grieve—but we do not grieve as those without hope. 🙏❤️

No matter what your past looks like, Jesus came to rewrite your story. ✍️✝️ The 'good life' doesn't start when everything goes right—it starts when you turn to Jesus. The fact that we can approach the Almighty God and call Him Father is truly glorious. Have you let Him change the trajectory of your life?

Birth date. Death date. And a dash in the middle. ➖ That simple dash represents your entire life—everything you've done, dreamed, and built. It's amazing how quickly we can be forgotten, which begs the question: What are you doing with your dash today? Make it count! ⏳🙌

Summer Conversations ☀️💬

This week’s question:
What is your favorite Bible story and why?

Maybe it’s a story that encouraged you during a difficult season, taught you something important about God, or became a favorite in childhood. This week, take time to talk about it together — around the table, in the car, at bedtime, or wherever summer takes you.

Faith grows through conversation. ❤️

We’d love to hear some of your favorite stories and conversations this week!

Today we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the cost of freedom and the depth of true love.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13

As we pause in gratitude this Memorial Day, please note that the church office and building will be closed today. We will reopen during regular hours tomorrow.
