• How to Step Into a Better Story

  This weekend Pastor Andy kicked off our Stories of Christmas series by reminding us that we all want our lives to tell a better story, and with God’s help, that is absolutely possible. He walked us through three simple questions that shape the direction of our lives: What do you want, why does it matter, and how will you respond? Our desires guide what we notice, our expectations determine how we see God at work, and our choices move us toward the future we’re hoping for. Andy encouraged us to let God reshape our desires, lift our eyes, and help us live with a fresh sense of anticipation. Instead of settling for less or drifting through the season, he invited us to lean in, pay attention, and take a step toward God’s story for us this Christmas.

• Gratitude: The Key to a Blessed Life

  When we choose gratitude, God opens our eyes to his goodness and draws our hearts toward him, while entitlement closes us off from the grace he’s already pouring into our lives. This weekend, Pastor Buddy wrapped up our Closer series by reminding us that gratitude is often the first step toward a deeper, more trusting relationship with God. We grow in gratitude by paying attention to the ways he cares for us and choosing to thank him throughout our day. And as this rhythm takes root in our lives, our faith grows, our joy deepens, and we begin to experience God’s presence with a clearer, more hopeful heart.

• The Gift of Forgiveness

  This weekend we opened our new series called Closer by looking at one of the biggest barriers that keeps us from feeling close to God. All of us want a real relationship with him, yet Jesus teaches that unforgiveness can quietly block our hearts in ways we may not realize. Through the story of the unforgiving servant, we were reminded that God has already forgiven a debt we could never repay, and that releasing others is part of the freedom he wants for us. Forgiveness is not pretending the hurt never happened. It is choosing to let go, trusting God with the pain, and stepping into the kind of life where nothing stands between us and him. As we move into this Christmas season, we’re invited to receive God’s forgiveness in a fresh way and extend it to others so that we can grow closer to his heart.

• Dream Now Celebration Weekend

  This weekend was a powerful reminder that God calls us to dream big, to dream his dreams, and to step out in bold faith. As a church, we celebrated all that God has already done through Dream Now, from lives changed to ministries growing and new campuses taking shape. And we believe he’s only getting started. Together, we’re stepping into what’s next by faithfully responding to his call, trusting that as we give, serve, and pray from now through the end of the year, God will continue to do more than we could ever imagine.
