“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you…” — Acts 1:8

This Sunday, we watched people respond with open hearts, lifted hands, bold faith, and a genuine hunger for more of God. Some encountered the presence of the Holy Spirit in brand new ways, while others were reminded that Christianity was never meant to be lived powerless.

This Sunday, we kicked off our brand new “Pentecost” series by talking about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

What is it?
Why did Jesus promise it?
How would it change someone’s life?

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, hungry for more of God, or grew up around this your whole life, this message will challenge and encourage you.

Today, and all week, we’re praying for the friends and family of Mandy. She was very loved by many at Overflow Church❤️

It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of one of our own, Ms. Amanda "Mandy" Sullivan. A graduate of the West Carroll Class of 1995, Mandy returned home to teach and always gave back to the students and school that shaped her.
Mandy was loved by faculty, staff, and students alike. Her constant positive attitude and high expectations were an anchor in the middle school hallway and throughout our entire school.
Please keep the Sullivan family, along with our community and her school family, in your thoughts and prayers. She will be deeply missed.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country — grateful for their sacrifice, their courage, and the freedoms we enjoy because of them.

A word from God for you today: You’re not too far gone. God’s not done with you. He loves you despite your most weak or embarrassing moments. He’s available right now.

A few weeks ago, Pastor Samantha Gallien shared this beautiful story of one of the first times she truly encountered the love and presence of God and reminded us that His mercy still meets people in the middle of shame, regret, and brokenness today.

A fully surrendered life isn’t the “hard” version of Christianity, it’s the ONLY version of Christianity.

Summer Groups are officially in full swing and we’ve already loved week one heading into week two. From pickleball to Chicago ball, running club to disc golf, swim aerobics to single moms groups, there’s been a whole lot of laughs, community, memories, and maybe a little healthy competition too😅☀️

Rain or shine, indoors or outdoors, we’re grateful for every group leader opening up space for people to connect this summer. Drop your group in the comments and give your crew a shoutout 👇⬇️👇⬇️

What if the thing your soul has been searching for isn’t success, comfort, relationships, or control… but Jesus Himself?

Between worship, the message, conversations in the lobby, and moments in God’s presence throughout the morning, it was a meaningful day worshipping Jesus together💛💙❤️

This Sunday, Jed Ikechukwu unpacked one of the most famous and lasting parables Jesus ever told — the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price — and asked the question: “When you finally see Jesus for who He really is… what are you willing to surrender?”

Last Sunday, we had the honor of participating in Child Dedications as families publicly committed themselves to raising their children in Christ-centered homes. Moments like these are always special reminders that the church isn’t just a place we attend — it’s a family that helps love, disciple, pray for, and encourage the next generation together.

“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” — Matthew 19:14
