Celebrating Baptism
Baptism is not just a ceremony—it is a sacred celebration of a life forever changed. It’s both a picture and a proclamation: that the old life has been washed away, and a new life in Christ has begun.

The LORD Hears Our Prayers
Whether your words are full of faith or barely held together by hope, God leans in. He hears the prayers you can’t say out loud. He pays attention—not just to your words, but to your heart.

Remember and Honor
May we pause this weekend to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of Jesus’ words in John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends."

A Good Heart
This verse is a great heart check. It reminds us that hearing God’s Word is just the beginning. The real growth happens when we hold onto it, let it sink deep, and patiently live it out—even when the results aren’t instant.

Just Believe
Faith is essential if we want to see God at work in our lives. It doesn’t have to be huge (Luke 17:6), but it does need to be pointed in the right direction (Hebrews 11:6) and keep going even when things are tough (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
