❤️ Mission Dignity Sunday – June 28

For many retired pastors, church staff members, and their widows, the years after ministry can bring unexpected financial challenges. Mission Dignity exists to provide assistance and encouragement to these faithful servants who have spent their lives investing in others.

Sunday, June 28, we will receive a special offering for Mission Dignity. Every gift helps provide practical support and reminds retired ministry families that they are not forgotten.

As you watch Sally's story, we hope you'll be encouraged by the impact this ministry has on the lives of those who faithfully served the Lord for many years.

Please pray about how God might lead you to participate in this special offering.

Some days feel like the ground beneath me can’t hold me. Life feels fragile.

On those days God keeps sending me back to Psalm 46. I love it because it doesn’t start by telling me to calm down. It tells me which direction to run.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1)

I don’t have to schedule an appointment to get a hearing with God. I don’t have to get my life cleaned up before I can run to Him. He chooses to be “very present.”

The psalm describes the way life often feels. Mountains falling into the sea. Waters roaring. Nations raging. Kingdoms tottering. It’s like the writer is saying, “Go ahead, name the chaos. Don’t pretend it isn’t real.”

And then he says, “Therefore we will not fear.”

Courage isn’t a personality trait. It’s a decision. Fear might show up, but it doesn’t get to choose my actions.

Right in the middle of all that chaos, there’s this river, “whose streams make glad the city of God.” (Psalm 46:4)

God’s people have a steady supply even when everything feels out of control.

Oceans are roaring. Kingdoms are collapsing. And God gives His people a river. Nothing complicated. Just steady provision, day after day. Quiet strength running in the background. It doesn’t change the headlines, but it keeps you going.

Then comes one of my go-to passages.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

God isn’t telling me to find some inner calm. He’s telling me to stop living like everything depends on me. He’s reminding me that He will be exalted. He will do what only He can do.

That doesn’t insult me at all. It’s a relief.

And the psalm ends where it began, the reminder that gives me peace when everything around me totters.

“The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalm 46:7, 11)

The way the Lord is described is so comforting to me. The Lord of hosts. God commands armies. He has more power than whatever is threatening me today. The God of Jacob. He stays faithful to complicated people. Jacob was complicated. So am I. God didn’t quit on him. He hasn’t quit on me either.

He won’t quit on you.

I needed Psalm 46 today. Maybe you did too.—Pastor Bradley

What an incredible week at VBS! 🎉🐑

From worship and Bible lessons to games, crafts, and new friendships, we experienced God's love and faithfulness every step of the way. As we look back on these special moments, we're reminded of the truth found in Psalm 23—that Jesus is our Good Shepherd who guides, protects, and cares for us.

Enjoy this recap video featuring our custom VBS song, "Follow the Shepherd," and celebrate all that God did in the lives of our kids, volunteers, and families this week!

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." — Psalm 23:1
