As we begin our More Life series, Pastor Zach points us to John 10:10, reminding us that Jesus’ mission is clear: to bring life, and life abundantly. He unpacks how the enemy’s greatest tactic is convincing us that God wants less for us, when in reality, separation from the Shepherd is what steals, kills, and destroys. The path to more life, Pastor Zach challenges us, starts with surrender—firing ourselves, trusting Jesus, and obeying him as the true source of life in every area.

This weekend, Pastor Ken walked us through Matthew 6:9-13 and reminded us that prayer isn’t a performance or a last resort—it’s a conversation with God. Using the Lord’s Prayer, he showed how prayer flows from real connection, inviting us to come as we are, honest and unfiltered, to a good Father who loves us. We were encouraged to approach God as sinners saved by grace and as sons and daughters who trust him for daily provision, forgiveness, and strength.

As we conclude our Advent series on Joy, Pastor Mike walks us through Revelation 21, pointing us to the joy of our future in Christ. He reminds us that our hope is not uncertain or temporary, but firmly rooted in God’s promises. Through the vision of a new heaven and a new earth, we’re invited to lift our eyes beyond present struggles and rediscover the deep joy that comes from knowing the end of the story—where God dwells with His people, every tear is wiped away, and joy lasts forever.
