This Sunday, we are diving into the powerful conclusion of Matthew’s Gospel (28:16-20). We are not sent out alone; we go authorized by the cosmic King and protected by His continuous, abiding presence. His presence is our protection.

Join us this Sunday as we explore how this "Great Anchor" empowers us to step forward without hesitation, secure in the promise that because He is with us, the mission cannot fail.

We often hear these verses as the "Great Commission"—a challenging call to "go and make disciples." But when we only hear the command, the mission can feel intimidating, leading to hesitation and fear. This Sunday we'll explore how Jesus anchored His command between two powerful, unchanging realities.

I love arriving early at church and having time in the sanctuary. God's light always shines here in a sanctuary of course. Sometimes you can see where it floods through. The stained glass is stunningly beautiful - I often listen to "Shine Jesus Shine" while standing in the light!

We often think of God as being "out there" or "up there," but Jesus tells a different story in John 14. He speaks of a relationship so close that He describes it as the "Hand in the Glove"—the Holy Spirit living within us to provide power, comfort, and direction.

Whether you are facing a "final leg" of a journey or just starting a new chapter, come hear how the presence of the Holy Spirit provides the peace and protection you need for the road ahead.

See you Sunday at 10:30am!
