In 1 Peter 4:8, we are given a powerful command for how to live as a church family. Peter tells us to love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
This does not mean that love sweeps wrongs under the rug or pretends that hurts do not exist. Instead, it means that Christ-like love chooses grace over offense. When we live in close community with others, people will inevitably let us down, hurt our feelings, or make mistakes. Our natural human response is often to hold a grudge, but God invites us to a higher way of living.

Choosing to love deeply means we offer the same lavish forgiveness to others that Jesus has already extended to us. His love covered all of our sins on the cross. When we let His grace flow through us, we can stop keeping a score of wrongs and instead build relationships that reflect His heart.

Is there an offense or a grudge that you need to let love cover today?

GREAT Love: Love that Loves the "Unlovable"

05/28/2026

We belong to God. Everything we are belongs to Him. As you finish out your week, reflect on these questions from the Sunday message as you continue to give back to God what is already His.

1. Looking at your daily routine, what areas of your life (time, talents, finances, or worries) are you still trying to claim complete ownership over instead of rendering them to God?

2. Pastor Mathew mentioned on Sunday that fear and anxiety "overload our systems" because we weren't manufactured for them. How does knowing you belong to a loving Creator change the way you handle worry this week?

3. What does it mean to you personally to know that God prepared "good works" for you to walk in before you were even born?

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation.

As we enjoy this day with our families, let us never forget the heavy cost of the freedoms we carry. We pray for comfort for the families who carry the weight of a missing seat at their table today.

Praying you have a meaningful and reflective Memorial Day.

To God What Is God's: The Earth and Everything In It

05/24/2026

Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday! A lot of people wonder what Pentecost actually is. Simply put, it’s the day we celebrate the Holy Spirit coming down and the official 'birth' of the global church. It’s the moment the followers of Jesus were given the power and the courage to take the Gospel to every corner of the world.
We recognize this day because that same power is available to us today. It’s a reminder that we aren't just a club or an organization. We are a people fueled by the Spirit to love our neighbors and serve our communities.
Join us as we celebrate where our story began and the mission we are still on today!
