The culture of the Kingdom of God is a culture of honor—one that values, respects, and rightly responds to the people and authorities God has placed in our lives. Honor shapes our homes, strengthens our witness, and reflects the heart of Christ to the world.

Why We Serve explores the heart behind our call to serve—how God’s grace at work in us and through us moves us to be the hands and feet of Christ. Together, we’ll discover that serving isn’t just something we do, but a response to what Christ has done, shaping our faith, our community, and our witness to the world.

The Gospel of John was written with a clear purpose: to awaken belief that leads to life. In this series, we’ll walk through John’s stories, signs, and teachings to discover what real faith looks like. Belief begins with a simple invitation—“Come and see”—and grows as we encounter Jesus in ordinary moments, wrestle with our doubts, and experience the transforming work of the Spirit. Along the way, we’ll see Jesus break through barriers, meet us in seasons of grief, and call us to abide in Him. This is not just about a moment of faith, but a lifelong journey of trust, obedience, and hope in the risen Christ.

Join us for this message as we pause, look back, and reflect on all that God has done in our lives and in the life of our church in 2025.

We all long for a leader who won’t let us down. History is full of people who started strong but ultimately fell short. Even Israel’s greatest kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—couldn’t give people what they most needed. Their lives were shadows pointing to something more. At Christmas, we celebrate that the true King has come. It’s more than a sentimental story—it’s the arrival of God’s promised King. God gave us not just a baby in a manger, but a great King who will reign forever. This Christmas season, we’ll celebrate the long-anticipated King who doesn’t rise and fall but reigns forever, the King our souls long for. Let’s prepare our hearts to welcome Him.

Each begins with great potential but stumbles in failure, mirroring our own shortcomings and revealing our deeper need. Together, they point to Jesus, the true King we’ve always longed for.

Life is full of decisions—some big, some small—but they all shape our story. Whether it’s choosing a career path, a relationship, or just trying to make it through a tough week, we’ve all wondered: What does God want me to do?
