Seeking Wisdom (May 17th, 2026)

Today is Milestone Sunday, we celebrate the milestones and the hard work it took to get there. As you enter a new chapter ask yourself what you will seek. You’ll be tempted to pursue many things but what is the most important? In the world of AI and overwhelming advertising we need wisdom now more than ever! How do we learn to seek wisdom?

Miriam's Song (May 10th, 2026)

Miriam was one of the three leaders God sent to free the Hebrew people, and her story—from watching over baby Moses to leading the women in song at the Red Sea—shows us that God uses ordinary things in ordinary hands to do extraordinary work. Like Miriam, we are called to bring what we already have and trust God with it.

Making Faithful Decisions - Discernment: Seeking God’s Will (May 3rd, 2026)

With all of that work, Nehemiah is now ready to build! He continues the work of discernment while implementing his plan and facing opposition. It is clear to see how this is part of God’s plan for restoring Jerusalem and spreading the good news to all the people. Building the wall was just one step and that facilitated what happened in chapter 7. How do we learn from Nehemiah and follow this path?

Listening To God's Will - Discernment: Seeking God's Will (April 26th, 2026)

Nehemiah is courageously vulnerable with people around him, he seeks to understand what is broken, the whole time he prays building doing what we talked about last week. He listens to God, to people, to the situation. And begins to discern how God could use him.

Listening to God’s Will - Discernment: Seeking God's Will (April 19th, 2026)

Nehemiah serves as a case study for discernment.  We will define discernment and ask the a simple question, “what should I do”. How do we respond to news like Nehemiah gets, how do we respond to every day choices and discern God’s will? Discernment is a tool we have a special song to sing with our lives. In order to discern we need to first, recognize God’s active presence in all things. Second, listen to the divine whisper. Third, keep God’s big dream alive. Nehemiah’s story illustrates this so well.
