I was driving my car the other day, got distracted for a second, and suddenly the seat started vibrating, lights were flashing, and the steering wheel je**ed itself back into place.

Honestly? It scared me half to death. 😅

But then I realized—the car wasn’t trying to hurt me.
It was trying to protect me.

That’s what the Holy Spirit does in our lives.

When we start drifting…
When we move toward danger…
When we forget who we are…

The Holy Spirit convicts us, redirects us, and reminds us:

“You’re a son of God.”
“You’re a daughter of God.”
“You are not your worst mistake.”

Following Jesus was never meant to be something we do alone.

You don’t have to try harder.
You have to trust deeper.

Take a moment to watch this—it might change how you see the Holy Spirit.

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who served our country and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Some gave much, and some gave all. Their sacrifice is a gift we never want to take for granted. 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we also give special honor to Pastor John Booko, age 103, for his faithful and honorable service as an Aviation Machinist’s Mate during World War II from February 1943–December 1945. We are humbled that a flag was flown over the U.S. Navy Memorial in his honor—a beautiful tribute to a life marked by courage, sacrifice, and faithfulness.

Pastor John, thank you for serving your country and for faithfully impacting generations. Today we remember. Today we honor. ❤️🤍💙

PENTECOST SUNDAY 🔥🕊️

What a powerful morning as we celebrated Pentecost Sunday and heard a timely word from Pastor Erick: Spirit Empowered Life.

A life of discipleship isn’t built on striving harder—it’s made possible through the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. We were reminded that we’re not called to live this life in our own strength. The Holy Spirit empowers us to live righteously, live supernaturally, and live on mission.

Three simple prayers:
“Holy Spirit, show me.”
“Holy Spirit, fill me.”
“Holy Spirit, use me.”

And just like that, we wrapped up our Follow Me series. What a powerful journey learning what it truly means to follow Jesus—not in our own strength, but empowered by His Spirit. 🔥

Love you church. See you next Sunday! 🤍
