SN**CH 👏🏻 UP 👏🏻 THOSE 👏🏻 THOUGHTS 👏🏻

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. - 2 Corinthians 10:5

Today, we honor heroes. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we pause to remember the men and women who gave their lives so we could live in freedom. Their sacrifice wasn’t small, it was everything. And because of it, we get to gather, worship, love people, and live out our faith boldly.

We don’t take that for granted. We carry gratitude in our hearts, we honor their legacy, and we choose to live with purpose because of what was given for us.

Today, we remember. Today, we honor. Today, we say thank you. ❤️🤍💙

Pastor came with a WORD today 🗣️ for Part 2 of our Finding Freedom series!

Maybe your past has a name- 
Grief, Regret, Church hurt, Shame, Betrayal, Unhealthy cycles, or The old version of you..

But God isn’t asking you to stay stuck rehearsing what happened. He’s inviting you to become who He’s called you to be.

You are not responsible for every thought that shows up..
But you ARE responsible for what you do with those thoughts.

2 Corinthians 10:5 “We take every thought captive to obey Christ”

The old has gone. The new is here.

And God’s opinion of you has never changed 🩵

One invite could change everything.

What if this was the time they said yes?
What if this was the Sunday that changed their life forever?
What if one simple invitation led them to encounter God, find freedom, and step into a brand new story?

Don’t underestimate what God can do through you.
Even if you’ve asked a hundred times… ask again. Text them. Call them. Save them a seat.

Because you never know, this could be their Sunday. 🙌

Pastor Jeremy reminds us that forgiveness is a fight.. but it's also the pathway to freedom. When we release bitterness, trust God with justice, and choose forgiveness, we make room for peace, healing, and the future God has for us!

FINDING FREEDOM ⛓️‍💥

Forgiveness is not saying what happened is ok.
Forgiveness is not promising that reconciliation is required.
Forgiveness is not forgetting.
Forgiveness is not letting the other person off the hook.

➡️ Forgiveness is allowing God to give you the freedom you need. ⬅️
