May 25, 2025—You want to grow. You want to change. But willpower isn’t enough.This week, Duane unpacks the powerful truth in Romans 8—that real transformation happens when we stop relying on ourselves and start depending on the Spirit. If you’re stuck, tired, or unsure what to do next in your faith, this sermon is for you. Freedom starts when we stop striving and start walking with God.

True community isn’t just about attending church; it’s about being there for each other—sharing life, struggles, and victories together. This week, we’re diving into what it looks like when we live as a family, not just a group of people who meet on Sundays. It's about connection, support, and living the way Jesus showed us. Ready to be a part of something bigger?
