Sometimes we spend so much time 𝑃𝑅𝐴𝑌𝐼𝑁𝐺 for the breakthrough that we forget to 𝑃𝑅𝐴𝐼𝑆𝐸 God while we’re waiting on it.

So what does your PUSH stand for?

Pray Until Something Happens
or
Praise Until Something Happens

Maybe the answer is both.
Pray with faith. Praise with expectation.
Because even in the waiting… God is still working. ✨

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength…”
— Isaiah 40:31



See you tonight at 7 ✝️

What if we had to wear our sins where everyone could see them?

Not the polished version of ourselves we post online.
Not the “church” version.
Not the filtered, cleaned-up version we want people to believe.

The real stuff.

The bitterness.
The pride.
The lust.
The gossip.
The addiction.
The jealousy.
The hidden anger.
The unforgiveness.
The thoughts no one else hears.
The things we beg God to forgive us for in private while condemning others for publicly struggling.

What if every sin we carried was written across our chest like a scarlet letter for the world to see?

Would we still be so quick to mock people?
So quick to say “they’re going to hell”?
So quick to expose everyone else while pretending we don’t desperately need grace ourselves?

The truth is, sin looks uglier when it belongs to someone else… but every one of us has fallen short. Every single one.

Some sins are loud.
Some are hidden.
But all of us need Jesus equally.

That’s the beauty of the Gospel.
God already sees the parts of us we work so hard to hide… and He still chose the cross.

Not because sin doesn’t matter.
But because mercy does too. 🤍

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23

“When we all get to Heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be…” 🤍

But honestly… why are we waiting until Heaven to rejoice?

This morning I sat in the choir and just watched.

People sat down if they didn’t know the song.Some looked like they’d rather be anywhere else.Some barely whispered the words.Some never opened their mouths at all.

And it honestly broke my heart a little.

Because worship was never meant to be about knowing every lyric perfectly or whether the song is your personal favorite.

It’s about praising God. About gratitude. About joy. About remembering who He’s been, even in the middle of hard seasons.

Somewhere along the way, I think a lot of people forgot that worship isn’t a performance — it’s a posture of the heart.

And if we can’t rejoice, worship, love people, and experience freedom here… what makes us think we’ll suddenly know how when we get there?

Life is heavy enough already.Church shouldn’t feel like enduring something.There should be joy in it.

So next Sunday?Sing anyway.Praise anyway.Lift your hands anyway.Smile anyway.Participate anyway.

Because none of us are promised tomorrow, and this day the Lord has made is still worth rejoicing in.

It’s Sunday! ☀️

A brand new day.
A fresh opportunity to worship, reset, and be reminded that God is still good no matter what this past week looked like.

If you’re searching for peace, hope, encouragement, or simply a place to belong, we would love for you to join us today. 🤍

Come expecting.
Come thankful.
Come weary if you need to.
Just come.

There’s something special about gathering together, lifting our voices, and focusing on the One who never changes. 🙌

We can’t wait to worship with you today!

We’ve been reflecting a lot on the kind of people Jesus encountered… and the way Christians represent Him online.

And maybe this is the part we really need to think about. 👇

What if God judged our sins the way we judge everyone else’s online?

What if every single time you failed, Heaven responded with:
“That’s a sin.”
“They’re going to hell.”
“Look at them calling themselves a Christian.”
“God could never use someone like that.”

What if your worst moments were picked apart publicly the same way people tear apart others on Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram every single day?

Because let’s be honest…
some Christians have become far more passionate about exposing sin than helping restore people from it.

We scroll through comment sections acting as judge, jury, and executioner over sins we can see—while ignoring the pride, gossip, bitterness, hatred, jealousy, arrogance, and unforgiveness hiding in our own hearts.

Sin is sin.
And not one single one of us is exempt from needing grace.

That doesn’t mean truth shouldn’t be spoken.
Jesus absolutely addressed sin.
But there’s a difference between conviction and condemnation.
There’s a difference between leading someone toward Christ and publicly humiliating them while feeling spiritually superior.

Jesus encountered prostitutes, addicts, thieves, adulterers, liars, doubters, and broken people constantly… and somehow the people who felt the most uncomfortable around Him were often the religious people convinced they were “better.”

If God treated us the way we sometimes treat others online, how many of us would survive the comment section?

The truth is, every single one of us has fallen short.
Every single one of us needs mercy daily.
And every single one of us would be hopeless without the grace of God.

Maybe our online presence should reflect less of our desire to condemn…
and more of the Jesus who still chose the cross knowing exactly how flawed we all were. ✨

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

The past couple of days we’ve talked about the kind of people Jesus encountered, and how Christians speak to people online matters more than many realize.

But here’s the part some people forget:
People are reading those comments.

They see the cruelty. The mocking. The hateful responses. And whether it’s fair or not, many immediately begin associating that behavior with Christianity and the church as a whole.

Why would someone hurting, struggling, broken, or searching for God want to walk into a church after watching people who claim to follow Christ tear others apart online?

We cannot spend all day talking about wanting revival, growth, and people to come to Jesus while simultaneously pushing people further away by the way we treat them.

Yes, truth matters. Conviction matters. But so does compassion. So does kindness. So does remembering that every person you speak to is someone God created.

Sometimes the only “church” people see is the behavior of Christians online. That should matter to us. 🤍

Yesterday we talked about the kind of people Jesus encountered — the broken, rejected, messy, misunderstood, and sinful people He still chose to treat with compassion and dignity.

Today, let’s go a little deeper.

Because some of the cruelest things said about people now happen behind phone screens and in comment sections… often by people who claim to love Jesus.

It’s become far too easy to praise God in one post, then mock, degrade, and tear someone apart in the next. But before we hit “send,” maybe we should ask ourselves: would Jesus speak to people this way?

Truth without love becomes harshness. Conviction without compassion becomes pride. And if our words constantly reflect anger more than Christ, people will notice that too.

You do not have to compromise your beliefs to treat people like human beings.

The world is already full of hate. Christians should not blend into it so easily. 🤍

05/27/2026

One thing that’s always stood out to me about Jesus is the kind of people He encountered.

He sat with the broken, the rejected, the messy, the sinful, the misunderstood, the outcasts, and the people society looked down on. Yet nowhere do we see Him mocking, humiliating, degrading, or stripping people of their humanity.

Jesus spoke truth, but He also showed compassion. He corrected, but He also loved. He never needed cruelty to make a point.

Some people today seem far more interested in condemning people than reflecting Christ to them. But if our words are filled with hate, mockery, bitterness, and pride, we should ask ourselves if we truly resemble the One we claim to follow.

You do not have to compromise your beliefs to treat people with dignity. And maybe the world would listen to Christians more if they saw more of Jesus in the way we speak to people. 🤍

See you tonight at 7 ✝️

“I know a name that can silence the roaring waves…” 🌊✨

A name that still breaks chains.Still wakes dead things back to life.Still brings peace into chaos and hope into hopeless situations.

There is power in the name of Jesus. 🤍

Not just in church on Sunday morning.Not just when life is good.But in the middle of fear, grief, anxiety, battles, and brokenness too.

“Every time I call Your name, chains break, dry bones wake…” 🙌

And maybe somebody needs that reminder tonight: what feels dead in your life is not beyond God’s reach.He is still healing.Still restoring.Still making things come alive again.

I know a Name. ✨

Tuesday reminder: discernment matters everywhere — not just at church.

As everyone heads back to work, school, and normal routines after a long weekend, be mindful of what and who you allow to influence your spirit. Not every conversation deserves your attention. Not every opinion deserves space in your mind. Not every environment deserves access to your peace.

You can be kind without joining in on gossip. You can be loving without entertaining negativity. You can stand out without compromising who you are.

Some people walk into a room and spread chaos, tension, and division. As Christians, we should carry peace, wisdom, discernment, and light instead.

Pay attention to what you’re feeding your mind this week. What you continually entertain will eventually affect your heart. 🤍
