Mother's Day @ Real Life

On a day meant to celebrate mothers, we step into a story that feels anything but picture-perfect. Hagar—a mom who finds herself used, discarded, and running into the wilderness with no clear future. And yet, she becomes the first person in Scripture to name God. In a world where it’s easy to feel overlooked, this message is a reminder that God sees the people others miss. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unsure of where you’re going, or like you’re living on the edges of someone else’s story, this is for you.

Guest Speaker: Ray McCormick

When the unexpected hit and there was no time to prepare, Ray stepped up and simply shared what was on his heart. The result wasn’t polished—but it was real. A reminder that following Jesus the King isn’t about having all the right words, but about believing His Word, trusting His plan, and living it out daily. This message challenges us to ask a simple but powerful question: Why am I a Christian? And even more—am I living like it?

Part 2 - Believe

Zacchaeus had heard about Jesus—but belief didn’t start until he welcomed Him. In this message, we see that believing isn’t just knowing Jesus existed or agreeing with what He said—it’s trusting Him enough to receive Him into your life. Jesus moves toward Zacchaeus before anything changes, and Zacchaeus responds by welcoming Him gladly. This is the step many people miss: moving from awareness to trust. Belief is where faith becomes personal.

Part 1 - Repent

For some people their journey of faith is over before it really begins because they think they have to have their life together in order to come to Jesus. And for most of us, it’s a broken life that leads us to Jesus. So you’re trying to pick up the pieces and put yourself back together so God will accept you when He’s the one offering to put you back together in the first place. In this message Pastor Corey begins to answer the question what does it actually mean to be a Christian?
