ME church is not THE church!

Today, Pastor Jer reminded us of the importance of having a spiritual family. We cannot become what God wants us to be without the church. It’s not about a place- it’s about being in an environment where we help each other grow and find our purpose!

PIONEER AGAIN.

It’s easy to get comfortable. It’s easy to stop pressing, stop dreaming, and stop believing for more.

Don’t settle where God is calling you to advance. Keep pioneering!

Such a powerful message from Pastor Jeremy DeWeerdt at First Wednesday! We love you, church!

Life is but a mist. And sometimes, we ask temporary things to do an eternal job.

BUT HERE’S THE TRUTH:
Your life fits into a bigger God-story.
Your life has direction.
Your life matters.

Jesus isn’t against happiness. He just knows where you’ll actually find it.

We all want to be happy, but what if we’ve been chasing the wrong things to find happiness?

Pastor Jeremy reminds us that money, success, relationships, and accomplishments can be good things to enjoy, but they were never meant to give our lives meaning- only God can do that!

We had a BLAST with you at Back to Church Sunday! 👏🏼🎉

Today we learned that happiness is not a destination, it’s a byproduct of pursuing God and His way of living! Meaning begins with the One who made you!

We love you, church! See you next week as we kick off our new series, Sacred Rhythms! ✝️
