You Are The Plan!

09/06/2026

What does it mean to truly worship God? It goes far beyond an hour on Sunday morning. In this week's message, Father Joe unpacked Romans 12 and the call to offer our entire lives as a living sacrifice to God -- that is our spiritual worship.

Paul reminds us not to be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). That transformation moves us from pride to humility, and from isolation into community -- because every member of the body of Christ has a gift the world desperately needs right now.

Here is the truth the world does not want you to know: you are the plan. The church is not a backup option. It is God's answer to the darkness of this hour. Do not sit on the sidelines.

The Holy Spirit Intercedes

08/30/2026

What if your deepest pain, your most broken place, is actually where God wants to meet you most? In this Sunday's message, we explored the powerful story of Joseph's reconciliation with his brothers and what it reveals about God's ability to redeem even the most devastating circumstances.

We also dove into Romans 8:26-27, which reminds us that when we do not know how to pray, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. Your tears, your heartbreak, your silence -- they are not failures in prayer. They may be your most profound conversation with God yet.

If you have been searching for the right words to pray over a situation that feels impossible, this message is for you. Join us in person or watch online and discover a new dimension of prayer rooted not in perfect words, but in the perfect work of the Holy Spirit.

God is not Done with You!

08/23/2026

Did you know the word "retired" does not appear anywhere in the Bible? God's vision for your life does not have an expiration date. Whether you are a caregiver, a dreamer, or simply trying to put one foot in front of the other, God is still speaking direction and purpose into your heart right now.

This week's message drew on the story of Joseph in Genesis, whose God-given dreams set in motion one of Scripture's greatest unfolding stories. Like Joseph, each of us is called to receive the vision God is planting within us and respond with courage rather than excuses.

As Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, without vision people perish. You are a living stone, as described in 1 Peter 2:5, set apart and still being built into something greater. Come hear how God's dream for you is very much alive in this season.
