Happy New Year! As we step into a fresh year—setting goals for health, finances, and life—what if our highest vision wasn’t for this life… but the next?

This Sunday, we’re launching a brand-new six-week series called Heaven—and it’s personal. In the midst of celebration and growth, our church also walked through loss this past year.

That tension leads to honest questions: What is heaven really like? Is it real? Is it better? Does it actually change how we live right now?

In this message, we’ll talk about:

• Why many of us have a small, confusing view of heaven
• How culture has shaped a boring or vague version of eternity
• How a bigger view of heaven brings clarity, purpose, and hope today
• Why the best days for those in Christ are not behind us—but ahead

We’ll open God’s Word, address common misconceptions, and begin a journey that will reshape how we live, grieve, hope, and lead in 2026. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between—this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.

Celebrate all that God has done in and through Real Life Church this year.

This Christmas, many of us are carrying more than joy—stress, loss, unanswered questions, or a sense of distance from God.

The heart of Christmas reminds us of this truth: God didn’t wait for us to find Him—Jesus came to find us.

In this message, we’ll step into the Christmas story and see why worship is more than a song—it’s a response to who Jesus is and what He’s done. Through the stories of Mary and the Wise Men,

we’ll discover how worship turns chaos into calm, striving into trust, and emptiness into deep, lasting joy.

You’ll hear:

• Why Jesus is Immanuel—God with us, even in hard seasons
• How worship brings peace when life doesn’t get easier
• Why bowing our hearts before Jesus leads to freedom and rest

This message is for anyone feeling tired, distant, or searching for something more this Christmas.

Come and see. Come as you are. Come ready to bow your heart and worship Jesus.

This Christmas season can feel heavy. Life is busy, expectations are high, and joy can feel hard to come by. If you’re tired, overwhelmed, or quietly wondering if there’s something more than just getting through the week, this message is for you.

We’ll look at the Christmas story through the eyes of the shepherds—ordinary people working long hours, feeling unseen, when hope unexpectedly broke into their normal night. You’ll discover how God meets people in real life, not when everything is perfect, but right in the middle of exhaustion, stress, and uncertainty.

This message is dedicated to you who are:

• Feeling overlooked or worn down
• Carrying stress you don’t talk about
• Wondering if God actually sees you
• Longing for joy that lasts longer than a moment

Just like the shepherds, we believe God still steps into ordinary moments with extraordinary grace—and that real joy doesn’t come from having life figured out, but from being met right where you are. Come as you are. You don’t have to have it all together. There’s room for you—and there’s joy waiting to be found.

It’s Celebration Sunday, and we’re announcing huge wins, sharing powerful stories of faith, and revealing the results of our Difference Maker Initiative!

We’re celebrating salvations, baptisms, first-time givers, bold commitments, and the incredible generosity that is shaping the future of our church. It’s going to be a day full of joy, vision, and unforgettable moments.

And we’re tying it all into Part 2 of our Christmas series, Here I Am to Worship, as we look at the real story of the Wise Men — not kings, but king-makers who traveled a thousand miles to worship Jesus and advance His mission. obedience, and extravagant generosity to move God’s mission forward.

Just like them, Real Life has gone the distance. Just like them, Difference Makers have stepped out with faith,obedience, and extravagant generosity to move God’s mission forward.

Enjoy Celebration Sunday — a moment where we worship like the Wise Men, give like Difference Makers, and step into a brand-new season God is opening for Real Life.

If you’re carrying something heavy right now — a worry you can’t shake, a situation you can’t control, a prayer that feels unanswered — this message is for you.

This week we’re looking at Mary’s story in Luke 1, and how her quiet, courageous “Let it be” became one of the most powerful acts of worship ever recorded. Her story reminds us that sometimes the greatest worship isn’t a song… it’s surrender. It’s trusting God when life feels confusing, overwhelming, or just plain hard.

If you’ve been holding your breath, trying to manage everything on your own, come breathe again. Come find hope. Come let God meet you.
Let’s surrender the things we can’t carry… and find the peace only Jesus can give.

If you’ve ever felt like life should feel fuller than it does… or like you should be grateful, but your heart just isn’t there… you’re not alone.

If you’re tired of feeling numb, stressed, or like you’re going through the motions… this message, we’re talking about something every one of us struggles with:

In our message “The More Blessed Life,” we’ll explore:

• Why we can have so much and still feel empty inside
• How gratitude shifts your heart when life feels overwhelming
• The one choice that turned a man in Luke 17 from “just blessed” to fully transformed

If you want your faith to feel alive again… If you’re ready to discover the joy of a life that actually overflows… Listen to this message.

This Sunday, we’re launching a new two-week series called Grateful — and it starts with a message that will open your eyes to what God’s been doing behind the scenes in your life.

In “The Grace You’ve Been Looking For,” you’ll discover:

• How to see God’s hand in your past instead of your pain

• Why Jesus gave thanks before the cross — and what that means for you today

• Simple ways to live in daily gratitude that brings freedom, peace, and joy

• How Communion reminds us that God’s grace isn’t just a story — it’s something we can experience right now

No matter where you’ve been or what you’ve walked through, there’s a seat for you at the table of grace.
