Jesus says your heart follows your treasure. So here are three honest questions: Are you exhausted from chasing financial security?

Do you live in fear of your finances, not just concern, but fear that has shut down generosity?

Are you so anxious about tomorrow that worry is pulling you away from God?

This four-session family devotional guide is designed to help parents lead meaningful conversations at home and reinforce the truths from our sermon series, “Who Makes You…You?”

Built for families with both kids and teens, each session includes:

• A guided Scripture reading

• Age-specific discussion questions for kids and teens

• A memory verse to learn together

• A closing prayer for your family

Continue the conversation beyond Sunday and help your family discover what it means to be made by God, shaped by truth, and called to live for Him.

Easter is one of the most meaningful and demanding Sundays of the year for your pastor. It’s not just another sermon; it’s a moment to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus to people who may be hearing the gospel clearly for the first time.

That’s why your prayers matter.

In Ephesians 6:19, the apostle Paul writes, “Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel.” If Paul needed prayer for clarity and boldness, your pastor does too.

Prayer and fasting are not about earning God’s favor or impressing others; they are about deepening our dependence on Him. Fasting creates intentional space to seek God, listen for His voice, and renew our spiritual focus.

Every January, many of us set ambitious one-year goals, only to feel overwhelmed by the end of the month and discouraged by the end of February. The problem isn’t motivation; it’s scale. One-year goals often feel distant, daunting, and disconnected from daily life. That’s why quarterly goals are so effective.

There’s an empty chair at a lot of tables this Christmas.

For some, it’s the first holiday without a spouse, a parent, a child, or a close friend. For others, the chair has been empty for years, but the ache still rears its head every December.

Christmas has a way of bringing both joy and grief into the same room.

And here’s the quiet grace of God in this season:

He does not avoid our grief. He enters it.

Here’s the thing about my singing, though: I’m pretty tone-deaf. I struggle to stay on pitch, and I’m usually behind when the congregation starts clapping.

But here’s what I’ve learned: the church needs my voice just as much as it needs the pitch-perfect ones.

We are shocked and grieving the sudden death of Charlie Kirk. Our hearts ache for Iryna Zarutska and her brutal public murder on a train in Charlotte a few days ago. And on this September 11th, we pause to remember the thousands who died in the attacks 24 years ago, along with the families who still carry that pain.

Have you ever heard the phrase "silence is golden"? It's true in many situations, when a newborn finally stops crying, when the neighbor's dog stops barking at 2am, or during those peaceful early mornings with your Bible and coffee. But there are times when silence is not golden. When someone is desperately searching for truth, grace, peace, and forgiveness, silence from Christians is a missed opportunity.

God never designed the Christian life to be lived in isolation. Christianity is both private and public - private in the sense that you must personally decide to follow Jesus, but public in that it's meant to be lived out in community with other believers.

How do you worship God by serving others? In our culture, we often embrace the "have it your way" mentality. From Burger King's famous slogan to the Backstreet Boys' lyrics, the desire to do things our way is deeply ingrained in human nature.

Do you believe that what others meant for evil, God can use for good? Read the sermon recap post to find out how Joseph trusted God and how you can as well!

In God’s Upside Down Kingdom, we see God building His kingdom by His grace and not our greatness. Read this sermon recap from Genesis chapters 48-49.

Life is constantly changing. Whether we like it or not, transitions are inevitable - from changing schools or jobs to moving homes, starting new relationships, or facing health challenges. These transitions test our faith and can leave us feeling uncertain about the future. In Genesis 46, we find Jacob and his family facing a major transition. At 130 years old, Jacob is uprooting his entire life to move to Egypt after discovering his long-lost son Joseph is alive. This wasn't a simple change - it meant leaving the promised land of Canaan, abandoning familiar routines, and starting over in a foreign country.

In Genesis 44–45, Joseph’s story reaches a powerful turning point. After years of betrayal, separation, and pain, God’s grace breaks through in unexpected ways, bringing healing.

In the story of Joseph, we find a powerful reminder that God meets us in our mess with His mercy. When God's mercy enters our messy lives, bringing hope even in the darkest circumstances. Joseph's story demonstrates how God works through broken families, painful betrayals, and seemingly hopeless situations to bring about redemption.

There's a kind of pain we rarely talk about—not the pain of tragedy, but the pain of silence.

It's the ache that settles in when your prayers seem to hit the ceiling. When the breakthrough you've been waiting for doesn't come. When all you seem to be hearing from God is…nothing!

Where am I seeking immediate validation instead of trusting God's timing? Who around me needs serving, even though I feel overlooked? How can I point others to God through my faithful service, even under challenging circumstances?

Man may forget you, but God never will. That's a promise you can build your life upon.

Life handed Joseph a series of unfair blows—betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and later falsely accused and imprisoned. Yet his story reveals a powerful truth: when life isn't fair, God is still there.

Life often presents us with unexpected challenges and painful realities, such as the death of a loved one, painful breakups, personal failures, or betrayal by friends. In these moments, we often find ourselves asking, “God, where are you?”
