The Real Deal
September 7, 2026
Acts 4:32-35 shows a church that was the opposite of cotton candy—impressive on the outside, empty on the inside. The early believers were one in heart and mind, and their radical generosity flowed not from a program but from hearts genuinely changed by grace. Real faith has substance that lasts, and the invitation is to stop performing and start surrendering.

Ask for Something Specific
September 7, 2026
Matthew 7:7-11 catches the "just get me whatever" prayer—God bless my school, be with my friends—vague enough that you'd never know if God answered it. But Jesus says ask, seek, knock, three specific verbs, and the point isn't unlocking God through the right words; it's how much better your Father is than you assume. Specific prayer is the only kind you can watch God answer, so pray five real prayers by name—use me, save my friends, move at my school, give me boldness, change me—and collect the evidence.
KIDS
The Good Shepherd
September 7, 2026
John 10:14-16 draws a line between a babysitter counting the minutes and a parent who'd do anything for their kid—Jesus is the good shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep instead of running when the wolf shows up. So when you hear God's voice, remember who's talking: someone who already proved his love on the cross and would never lead you somewhere to hurt you.

Chasing What Matters

Fresh Starts

As we enter the new year, we are called to release past mistakes, embrace joy, and press forward with hope, trusting God to redeem our regrets and shape our future.
