This weekend, we celebrate 250 years of freedom as a nation. We honor those who stood their ground, stormed beaches, defended liberty, and gave everything so others could live free. But freedom always raises a bigger question: What are we free for?

Church is more than a building, a program, or a Sunday gathering. It’s a people.

It’s a teenager being discipled. A family receiving a meal. Friends opening their home to strangers. Someone praying for you when you don’t have the strength to pray for yourself. A recovering addict finding freedom. A missionary being encouraged halfway around the world. A neighbor discovering they don’t have to walk through life alone.

What if the very thing you've been trying to hide is the very thing God wants to use? This Sunday, you'll hear one man's incredible story of addiction, broken relationships, depression, a suicide attempt, eight strokes, and the long journey toward healing. But this isn't ultimately a story about pain—it's a story about redemption, purpose, and discovering that no one was meant to fight alone.

What if your purpose is bigger than you think? Jesus never called ordinary people to simply attend church—He called them to go out and make disciples in the world. This week, we unpack the Great Commission and discover how God uses everyday people to make an eternal impact right where they live, work, learn, and play.

Have you ever wondered how a group of complete strangers becomes family? This weekend, we’re celebrating where God has brought us from — from early days and impossible prayers to changed lives, deep friendships, and a future bigger than we ever dreamed.

If you’ve ever been confused, skeptical, or just curious about the Bible—this is your moment. “Theology for the Rest of Us”—where we strip away the confusion and make the Bible come alive for real, everyday people. We’re diving into questions like: What is the Bible, really? Where did it come from? Can it actually be trusted? And why does it still matter for your life today?

Most of us don't need more information—we need real transformation. We're continuing Theology for the Rest of Us with a practical message called, "How Do I Apply the Bible to My Life?" We'll talk about how to move from simply reading Scripture to actually living it—letting God's Word shape your identity, motives, emotions, and actions.

What if the Bible wasn’t just something you read—but something so much deeper - the way you stay connected to God every day?

Today, we’re diving into how to read Scripture in a way that helps you hear God’s voice, know His heart, and walk with Him in real life.

Leah and Rachel both lived lives marked by deep pain, unmet expectations, and comparison. Leah was unloved. Rachel was barren. Both spent years longing for what the other had, and their comparison kept them from seeing the goodness of God already present in their lives. But in the middle of their pain, God saw them both.
