A Transformed Life with guest speaker, Dwayne Bottom

The Purpose in the Waiting

What if God's delay isn't His denial? Waiting on the Lord can be one of the hardest parts of following Him. We pray, we hope, we trust—and sometimes it feels like heaven is silent. This week, we look at the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. Jesus loved them deeply, yet He waited. Lazarus died before their prayer was answered. It seemed too late. But the waiting wasn't because Jesus didn't care. It was because there was something bigger unfolding. Others needed to witness the power and glory of God. What looked like a delay became a testimony that pointed everyone to Jesus. Sometimes our waiting isn't just about us. God is writing a story that reaches far beyond our own lives. If you're in a season of waiting, this message is a reminder that God has not forgotten you. He is still working—even when you can't yet see what He's doing.

When Sorrow is Shared

When David's Hidden Sin Met God's Restoring Grace David's story with Bathsheba is one of the darkest chapters in Scripture—adultery, deception, and even murder. Yet it also becomes one of the clearest pictures of repentance and restoration. This week, we explore what happened after David was confronted by the prophet Nathan. Instead of continuing to hide, David confessed. He brought his brokenness into the light, and that's where healing began. We often believe freedom comes from keeping our struggles hidden, but the Kingdom of God works differently. Sin grows in isolation, but healing grows in community. As the old proverb says, "Sorrow shared is sorrow divided, and joy shared is joy multiplied." Join us as we discover that confession isn't about shame—it's about freedom. When we stop pretending and allow trusted people to walk with us, God meets us with grace, restoration, and the kind of freedom we've been longing for.

Freedom In Leviticus

When you think of the book of Leviticus, "freedom" probably isn't the first word that comes to mind. Filled with laws, sacrifices, and instructions, Leviticus is often seen as one of the most difficult books of the Bible. But beneath the pages of regulations is a God who is making a way for His people to live in freedom—not just freedom from sin, but freedom to belong, to worship, and to flourish together. God's commands were never meant to be chains. They were an invitation into a different way of living—a life marked by holiness, justice, generosity, restoration, and community. From the Year of Jubilee to caring for neighbors, strangers, and the vulnerable, Leviticus reveals God's heart for people who are truly free. In this message, Megan uncovers the surprising beauty of Leviticus and reminds us that real freedom isn't found in doing whatever we want. It's found in living the way our Creator designed us to live—in relationship with Him and with one another. Freedom has always been God's idea.

Follow ME

After Peter's greatest failure came one of Jesus' most beautiful invitations. On the shore of the Sea of Galilee, the resurrected Jesus doesn't begin with rebuke—He begins with breakfast. Around a charcoal fire, the place that mirrors Peter's denial, Jesus restores what shame had broken. Three questions. Three opportunities to reaffirm his love. And then, with words that echoed the very beginning of Peter's journey, Jesus says once again, "Follow Me." The first invitation that called Peter away from his nets became the final invitation that sent him into his calling. In this message, Megan explores the grace of restoration and the relentless invitation of Jesus. Failure is never the end of the story. Jesus doesn't discard broken disciples—He restores them, feeds them, commissions them, and calls them to follow Him again. No matter where you've been or what you've done, Jesus' invitation still stands today: Come. Follow Me.

One year. Three days.

As SEEN celebrates its first anniversary, we pause to reflect on all God has done in just one year. Lives have been changed, people have found community, baptisms have been celebrated, prayers have been answered, and hope has taken root where it once seemed impossible. But as incredible as one year has been, Easter reminds us that God doesn't need a year to transform a life. He changed the course of history in three days. From the cross to the empty tomb, Jesus accomplished what no amount of human effort ever could—defeating sin, conquering death, and making a way for new life. If God can redeem the world in three days, imagine what He can do with your story. Join Megan as she celebrates SEEN's first year while pointing to the greatest miracle of all: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because our hope isn't found in what God has done through a church in one year—it's found in what Christ accomplished in three days.
