Have you ever found yourself in a situation where just knowing the right person made all the difference?
This Sunday, on All Saints Day, we’ll explore what it means to be able to say, “I’m With Him.” As we reflect on Hebrews 10:19-25, Dr. Kevin Tully will lead us through the power of Christ as our High Priest—the One who grants us courage, connection, and confidence to draw near to God.

How much of our growth happens naturally, and how much requires intention?
This Sunday, we will dive into the mystery of spiritual growth, reflecting on the childhood of Jesus as told in Luke 2:39-52. Just as Jesus grew in body and wisdom, Dr. Kevin Tully challenges us to consider whether we are allowing ourselves to grow spiritually or if we have settled into a life on "cruise control." Could today be the day you choose to embrace a deeper, more abundant life in Christ?

Have you ever felt like you were off course but didn’t know how to change direction?
It’s not where we are now that matters most, but the direction we choose. Whether you’re guiding children or adjusting your own path, discover how even small shifts can lead to life-changing outcomes. Come and reflect on how aiming high starts with reaching low in faith, humility, and love.

What’s holding you back from following Jesus more fully?
Like the rich young man in Mark 10, many of us wrestle with letting go of what we treasure most—whether it's our time, money, or comfort. Have you ever wondered how your life might change if you took that next bold step of faith? This Sunday, we will explore how Jesus' challenge to the young man speaks directly to our lives today, and what it means for us to trust God with all we have.

Have you ever been called “weird” for following Jesus? 
This Sunday, we'll explore how living out Jesus' command to love one another sets us apart from the world, even when it feels uncomfortable. As we celebrate World Communion Sunday, join us in reflecting on the unity and fellowship we share with Christians around the globe. Together, we’ll discover how being “weird” in faith is a beautiful calling to live differently.

Have you ever felt the tension between what you know you should do and what you actually do?
In James 3:13-4:8a, we are challenged to examine the gap between wisdom and our own selfish desires. Why is it so hard to resist that inner pull towards conflict and envy? This Sunday, Dr. Kevin Tully will explore this struggle, and how the wisdom from above offers a way to real peace and justice—if we are willing to let go of our excuses and surrender to God.
