Have you ever said something in anger that you immediately wanted to take back? 🙋♂️ We’ve all been there. Stress and frustration have a way of shrinking the gap between what we think and what we say.

In our latest blog post, we’re diving into Ephesians 4 to explore what scripture—reveals about handling anger before it takes over your life. You'll learn practical ways to handle anger.

Remember—what you do with anger determines what anger does to you.

Psalm 23 — one of the most quoted passages in Scripture. Maybe you know it by heart. Maybe you've never heard it at all. Either way, it has something to say to you.

Starting July 12, join us for a new sermon series exploring Psalm 23 — a picture of a Shepherd who provides, protects, and pursues us, even in our hardest seasons.

Here's what makes this series different: the music won't sound like typical worship music. You won't hear "God" or "Jesus" in the lyrics. That's on purpose. Songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and "What a Wonderful World" will sit alongside the message each week — not as background, but as an invitation to slow down and see the world (and this Psalm) with fresh eyes.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want" is one of the boldest declarations in Scripture. We want to stop saying it out of habit — or hear it for the first time — and let it change how we see our lives.

Join us on in person or online. 🐑
Sundays, 11:00 am
