How angry would you have to be to throw a stone at someone’s head? In this message, we reflect on what it means to cast stones—not just physically, but with our words, actions, and silence. In a world filled with anger and fear, we often justify our stone-throwing behavior. But Jesus shows us a different way. Come and explore the powerful story of forgiveness, grace, and the wisdom to put down the stones we carry.

In week 2 of our Close series, we explore how God is constantly speaking to us and how listening to Him transforms our lives. Using the story of the woman at the well, Pastor Paul shows how her encounter with Jesus changes everything when she opens her heart to His voice. She moves from isolation to becoming a powerful force in her community, simply by responding to God. As we gather, we expect to hear from God and be reminded that when we truly listen, He uses us in ways beyond our imagination.

Discover the closeness that God offers through Jesus as we dive into the Gospel of John. Pastor Paul explores the profound mystery of a transcendent God who became human, stepping into our world to invite us into an intimate love relationship with Him. This isn’t about rules or rituals; it's about being known, seen, and loved by God. Pastor Paul challenges us to reflect—are we close to Jesus, truly following Him, or is He a distant thought?
-
Our world is full of BIG, complex, and often painful situations. How do we make sense of it all? What is Jesus calling us to?
-
We are invited to explore how we can make space in our hearts and lives for the work God is doing in and through us. Drawing from the story of the woman at Jacob's Well, we see how Jesus broke through barriers to reach those on the margins and how we are called to do the same. As our church continues to grow, we are challenged to embrace stewardship—not just of our resources, but of our time, talents, and opportunities—as we create room for more people to encounter Jesus and experience life transformation.

Our exploration of Jesus as the "Logos" challenges us to reassess our core motivations.

This Sunday, Pastor Paul concludes our Escape Into Reality series with the message, Light, Life, Belief, Part 2. In this powerful final week, he shares a "spiritual prescription" that addresses our deepest fears, anxieties, and mental health struggles—a prescription that leads us to joy. Through the lens of John 1, Pastor Paul unpacks how Jesus, the Logos, is the ultimate reality, grounding us in truth and transforming our perspective. He also dives into the connection between faith and obedience, emphasizing that true belief isn’t just about what we claim but is demonstrated in how we live. Obedience is the key to unlocking the joy and peace Jesus promises, showing us that faith without action leads to dissonance, but when we align our lives with God’s truth, we find lasting joy and well-being.

As we learn more about Jesus as the "Logos," we rediscover a Biblical perspective on the words Truth, Joy and Freedom.

This week in the "Escape Into Reality" series, Pastor Paul explores the powerful themes of light, life, and belief from John 1. In a world where truth is often distorted, Jesus—the Word made flesh—reveals what is real, grounding us in the truth. As the light of the world, Jesus exposes what we hide in darkness, freeing us from what enslaves us. Through Him, we find life in relationship with God and belief through obedience. Living in His light brings joy, clarity, and true freedom. Join us as we step into the light of Christ and rediscover reality.

Aaand we’re back! This week we catch up and go on quite a journey through history and philosophy to better under the word "Logos."
-
This week Pastor Paul invites us to dive deep into the profound concept of the "Logos," as revealed in the Gospel of John. In this message, we are reminded that Jesus is the Logos—God’s spoken word, logic, and reality brought to life. Pastor Paul unpacks how the Logos is not just a philosophical idea, but the very embodiment of truth, reason, and order, making sense of a world often caught in chaos and delusion. He challenges us to ask ourselves: Are we listening to God's voice? In a culture filled with distractions, it's time to escape into the true reality found in Jesus. Join us as we reflect on how the Logos brings clarity, light, and life to a world that desperately needs it.

In the final week of our Be Our Guest series, guest speaker Dr. David Clark discusses how people often know a lot about God but struggle to truly feel close to Him. He tells a story about a seminary student who, despite his knowledge, was afraid of God. Dr. Clark explains that our early relationships shape how we connect with God, and issues like anxiety or keeping others at a distance can block us from feeling His love. He encourages us to move beyond just knowing about God by practicing spiritual habits, connecting more deeply within our church, and being open to feedback, all to build a deeper, gut-level relationship with God.

In this back-to-school message honoring teachers, Brian Sullivan, Head of School at Venture Academy, highlights the profound influence teachers have on students and families. He draws parallels between their impact and the teachings of Jesus, emphasizing how exceptional teachers use compassion, creativity, and personal connection to inspire and guide. Effective teaching involves more than transferring knowledge; it builds confidence and supports students through challenges. Teachers empower their students by recognizing their potential and providing encouragement, leaving a lasting impression that shapes students' lives well beyond the classroom.

In this message, guest speaker Dr. David Clark challenges us as believers to think critically about our faith, demonstrating that Christianity is not based on circular reasoning but is supported by clear thinking and evidence. He guides us through Psalm 19 to show how the natural world reveals God's existence and connects scientific discoveries, like the Big Bang, to reinforce the belief that the universe's beginning points to a divine cause. Dr. Clark strengthens our faith by encouraging us to embrace good reasoning and evidence as foundations for our belief in God.
