This Sunday, we officially commissioned the men participating Brotherhood at Reach.

Brotherhood is a 6-month journey for men to grow closer to the men God has called them to be - not through striving on their own, but through a willingness to submit to the transforming power of God.

We’re praying for growth, accountability, strength, and deeper faith as these men step into this season together.

Excited to see what God will do through Brotherhood in the months ahead.

Some food for thought 📖 💭 following up on Sunday’s message, May 17! If you missed it, watch it on YouTube to catch up!

📺 https://youtube.com/

❓Questions to dive deeper into your relationship with Christ:

1. Jesus said, “This is a hard saying.” What is one teaching of Jesus that you personally find difficult to accept or live out?
2. “Proximity doesn’t equal surrender.” What’s the difference between being around Jesus and truly following Jesus?
3. The crowd began leaving when following Jesus became costly. Why do you think people are often willing to follow Jesus when life is easy, but struggle when obedience costs something?
4. Peter responded, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” What does Peter’s response teach us about faith during seasons when we don’t fully understand what God is doing?
5. The sermon ended with the challenge: “Follow deeper… or walk away.” Where do you feel Jesus calling you to follow Him more deeply right now?

At some point in everyone’s faith journey, you come to a fork in the road—a moment where you have to decide whether you are truly in or out. Following Jesus was never meant to be easy, comfortable, or free from difficulty. There will be moments when staying faithful will cost you something. And in this passage, we see that Jesus is not afraid to create moments that force a decision. Some people spend their whole lives sitting at the fork, unwilling to choose a direction. But Jesus is not looking for crowds who follow Him when it’s easy—He’s looking for disciples who will follow Him no matter what He asks, no matter what it costs. Because in
Him there is fullness of life. ~ Pastor Heath

Today is Mother’s Day, and if you grew up with a good mom, there’s one thing you heard over and over: “Listen to me.” “Do what I told you.” And if you didn’t listen…you felt it. But here’s the truth: Some of the best things in your life happened because you listened to your mom. “Don’t go there.” “Stay away from that.” “Trust me on this.” And today, we’re going to see something powerful: A mother gives one simple instruction…and it becomes one of the cleares pictures of what it means to follow Jesus. “Do whatever He tells you.” ~ Pastor Heath

Some food for thought 📖 💭 following up on Sunday’s message, May 3! If you missed it, watch it on YouTube to catch up!

📺 https://youtube.com/

❓Questions to dive deeper into your relationship with Christ:

1. Peter asked, “How far does forgiveness have to go?” Where do you tend to put limits on forgiveness in your own life?
2. “If you’re counting, you’re missing it.” In what ways do you find yourself keeping score with someone?
3. The servant was forgiven an unpayable debt but refused to forgive a smaller one. How does remembering what God has forgiven you change the way you see others?
4. “Unforgiveness doesn’t free you—it imprisons you.” Have you experienced this in your life? What did it look like?
5. “Forgiveness is releasing the debt and trusting God with the justice.” Who do you need to release to God this week?

There are some things in life that are hard…But forgiving someone who hurt you deeply? That’s different. Because forgiveness isn’t just hard—it feels unfair. They said it. They did it. They caused the damage. And now… I’m supposed to forgive? Let me ask you: Who do you need to forgive right now? Not theoretically. Not someday. Right now. Because here’s the truth: You cannot follow Jesus fully while holding on to unforgiveness. ~ Pastor Heath
