Psalm 69 gives voice to the ache of being misunderstood, mistreated, and worn out by life. David’s cries for justice and healing echo our own struggles—and they ultimately point to Jesus, who endured suffering with steadfast love. In seasons where grief and hope collide, this psalm invites us to pray honestly and trust deeply—knowing that God will bring about justice in His time. God hears, even when the answers feel far away!

Psalm 126 is a song of gladness and longing—a reminder that God’s restoration often feels too good to be true, but it is deeply real. In seasons of dryness or doubt, we can remember His past faithfulness and dare to hope again! Whether we're reaping with joy or sowing in tears, God is still at work. Let’s reflect, rejoice, and ask Him to restore us—making us streams in the desert and giving us joy in the waiting!

Confession isn’t about shame—it’s about freedom. In Psalm 32, we’re reminded that joy comes not from our performance, but from forgiveness. This week’s sermon explores why we sometimes hide our failures, how God invites us into grace, and what it looks like to live with honest, humble hearts. Join us as we grow in confession, forgiveness, and the joy of being fully known and deeply loved.

Psalm 88 invites us into a raw and honest conversation with God—a cry from the depths of suffering that doesn’t end with resolution, but with silence. This week, we’re exploring what it means to bring our pain to God, even when He feels distant. As we reflect on the psalmist’s brutal honesty and persistent prayer, we’re reminded that Jesus, too, knew sorrow and abandonment. God welcomes our mess—and He’s with us, even when the dark...

Psalm 8 invites us to marvel at both the majesty of God and the dignity He gives to us as His image-bearers. Whether through awe-inspiring moments in nature or the quiet responsibilities of daily life, we’re reminded that our Creator is not only powerful...but deeply personal. He entrusts each of us with purpose, and He invites us to steward His creation with love and care. Rooted in the Gospel, we can live out this calling with co...

Spiritual gifts can be powerful, beautiful, and sometimes...a little uncomfortable. Whether it’s healing, tongues, or prophecy, our past experiences often shape how open we are to these expressions. But God gives us these gifts out of love—to build up the church and draw us closer to Him. This week, we’re leaning in with curiosity, honesty, and a desire to see His Spirit move in healthy, life-giving ways!

Spiritual gifts aren’t about standing out—they’re about building up the body of Christ. Each of us has been uniquely gifted by the Spirit, not for our own glory, but to serve others and grow together. In a culture that either overvalues certain gifts or causes us to doubt our own, God invites us to step in, show up, and trust Him to work through us. Let’s explore how we can live more connected, available, and encouraged in our call...

Becoming the person God created us to be doesn’t happen by willpower—it happens by walking with the Spirit. As we learn to listen, follow, and stay in step with Him, He produces lasting fruit in our lives. This journey involves recognizing the daily battle within us and choosing the Spirit’s way over our own. Let’s lean into His leading and trust Him as He shapes us to look more like Jesus.

What does it truly mean to be filled with the Spirit, and how can that become a reality in our daily lives? While the Bible has a lot to say about this topic, it’s about more than just doctrine—it's an invitation to daily encounters.

Together, let’s discover what it looks like to seek a deeper experience and expression of the Holy Spirit through asking, confessing, repenting, and yielding to His work!

We see the Holy Spirit at work in the life of Jesus and throughout the Bible. When you read about Jesus’s miracles and ministry, do you ever long to experience those same things? Sometimes we tend to think of the Holy Spirit more like a force than a person. We often try to grow or do ministry in our own strength, forgetting the Spirit is essential, not optional. Where have you been relying on your own efforts instead of the Spirit—...

As we wrap up our Hosea series on Easter, we discover how this Old Testament book points to our risen Savior! Hosea paints a picture of hope for a people on the brink of destruction due to their sins - a hope that ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the Messiah. Despite our failings, God desires for us to return to Him.


Let’s dive into Hosea 14 together and celebrate the hope we find in Christ!

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will examine how sin can lead us much farther than we ever intended to go. We are challenged to reflect on the areas of our lives where we may be tempted to rely on our own abilities, which ultimately lead us away from God.

This week, as we study the book of Hosea, we will explore how God feels about us in our moments of sin. While we might expect Him to look at us with disappointment and anger, we find that He views His children through the lens of His spotless Son, who took all of our sins upon Himself.

This week in our study of Hosea, we see a beautiful depiction of the Lord. While He is just, He is also faithful and good. As the Lord disciplines us, we understand that it is ultimately for our benefit and our journey back to Him. We learn that true repentance requires not just our actions, but also a sincere change of heart.

This week in our study of Hosea, we are confronted with the difficult truth about God's wrath towards sin. We observe how Israel tried to cling to their sins while still expecting God's approval and blessings in their lives. God is completely just, which means that sin must be punished—either the sinner will bear the consequences, or for believers, those consequences were placed on the sinless Son of God, Jesus.

Mark as Played

This week in our study of Hosea, we examine that though the Lord is rich in mercy, He had disapproval of Israel due to their ongoing rebellion against Him. We are encouraged to reflect on challenging questions, such as, “What sins have we excused because we believe they aren’t hurting anyone?”

This week in our Hosea series, we gain insight into the heart of our Father. His correction and removal of sin in our lives are not meant for our destruction; rather, they are ultimately aimed at bringing His people back to Him!
