The Discipline of Fellowship

Fellowship is the intentional practice of walking closely with other believers so we can give and receive the care, encouragement, and accountability we need to become more like Christ. In a culture that idolizes individualism, biblical fellowship reminds us that we are called not just to Jesus—but also to one another.

Sharing Burdens

Galatians 6:1-5 – Being part of the Body of Christ means helping one another when we make mistakes or experience challenges. Sharing burdens reveals that we understand the importance of caring for others in the Church.

Don’t Pour Gas on the Fire: Communicating Through Conflict in Marriage

When conflict enters a marriage, your response can either heal or harm. Don’t pour gasoline on the fire—let the Spirit guide your words toward grace, not escalation.

Designing with Purpose

Designing a church building isn’t just about style—it’s about purpose. As we prepare for our sanctuary and campus expansion, we’re asking how every square foot can help people encounter Jesus and connect with others.

Displaying Patience

Few things test us like waiting. Whether it’s delays, disappointments, or difficult people, impatience sneaks in fast. But biblical patience isn’t passive—it’s choosing peace when life doesn’t move at your pace.

More Than a Moment: Why Discipleship Takes a Lifetime

Discipleship is the lifelong journey between the moment God declares us holy and the day He makes us fully holy. While justification and glorification are entirely God’s work, sanctification is where He invites us to join Him in the daily pursuit of becoming more like Christ.

Spirit Alignment

Galatians 5:24-26 – When the Spirit fills your life, others will begin to notice. Spirit alignment requires a surrendered identity, crucified desires, steady obedience, and humble relationships.

Why I Go (And Why I Take Others)

We just returned from a week of gospel ministry in Central America, and the impact was undeniable. When you go—and bring others with you—you don’t just reach people there; you raise up disciples here.

The Psalm That Determines the Other 149

Psalm 1 isn’t just the first psalm—it’s the gatekeeper to every other one. If you don’t surround yourself with people who love God, you’ll stop worshiping Him long before you stop showing up to sing.

Displaying Peace

Peace isn’t found in a quiet room or a perfect plan—it’s found in a person. Jesus doesn’t just offer peace; He is peace. And when everything around you falls apart, His peace can hold you together.
