A full life can still be a misaligned life

God often sends us past our current strengths

This week is about stewarding the TALENT God has entrusted to us. When God calls us to do something, He does not always stay inside the boundaries of what already feels natural to us. In this message from Exodus 4:10–14, we look at Moses’ resistance to God’s call and the way God responds—not by denying Moses’ weakness, but by refusing to let it be the final word. This sermon challenges the common idea that stewarding our talent is only about using what we are already good at. Instead, it invites us to see that faithful stewardship also means growing in the areas obedience requires. God often sends us past our current strengths, and by His grace, He helps us take the next faithful step.

A full life can still be a misaligned life

This week is about stewarding the TIME God has entrusted to us. What if your life isn’t actually yours to own—but something God has entrusted to you? In this message from Haggai 1:1–15, we explore how it’s possible to live a full life that’s still misaligned with what matters most. The people of Israel weren’t doing nothing—they were doing everything except what God had called them to prioritize. In the same way, we can fill our time with good and necessary things, yet still drift from God’s purposes. This message invites us to pause, take an honest look at how we’re using the time God has entrusted to us, and consider what it might look like to realign our lives around Him.

Pentecost 2026

What does it really mean to “keep in step with the Spirit”? In this Pentecost service, we explore Acts 2 and discover how the Holy Spirit didn’t just come to create a powerful moment—but to form a people who live differently and move with God’s purpose. Through teaching, reflection, and a message for all ages, we’ll see how what once divided humanity is now being brought together through the Spirit, and how Jesus continues to lead His people today. Whether you’re new to faith or have been following Jesus for years, this service will invite you to consider what is shaping your life—and what it looks like to walk in step with the Spirit.

When Faith Becomes Performance

In our In Step series, we are learning what it means to live lives led by the Holy Spirit rather than by our own control. This week we turn to the sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and confront an uncomfortable truth: the church can only truly be the church when it lives with integrity before God. The Holy Spirit does not lead the version of us we pretend to be—He leads the real us toward an undivided life. This message invites us to examine where our hearts, words, and actions may be out of alignment, and where something other than Christ may still be shaping our choices. Walking in step with the Spirit means allowing God to bring our whole lives into honest alignment with Him.

Discerning Together

In Acts 15, the early church faced its first major crisis: faithful believers deeply disagreed about what it meant to follow Jesus. Instead of dividing, they gathered, listened to testimony, searched the Scriptures, and discerned together until they could say, “It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.” In this message, Pastor Ryan explores how the Jerusalem Council teaches the church today how to navigate disagreement without losing unity. As we prepare for communion, we reflect on three questions about inviting others into discernment, staying at the table when we disagree, and pursuing God’s kingdom rather than personal validation.
