Worship (9:00 AM Traditional) “Prepare”
Text: Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus’ parable of the wise and foolish builders seems to suggest the inevitability of the storms of life. The rains will come, the streams will rise, and the winds will blow. But we can build our life on the rock foundation of Jesus Christ and God invites us to connect to him on a daily basis through God’s gift of faith. Our series begins with a focus on what it means to be “storm proof.”

Promises, Promises, Promises (10:30 AM Blended) “I Will Make Your Paths Straight”
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 One of the most compelling, invitational, and comforting promises in all of scripture is this promise given to us by Jesus in Matthew 11: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” How can we learn to let go of our burdens that we foolishly hang onto and entrust them to the One whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light?
Promises, Promises, Promises (9:00 AM Traditional) “I Will Make Your Paths Straight”
Text: Matthew 11:28-30 How often do we lean on our own understanding instead of trusting in the goodness of God in all things? When things fall apart, it’s difficult to see that God can and does work for good in and through all the worst of our messes and circumstances of life. How is God making our paths straight today?
Promises, Promises, Promises (10:30 AM Blended) “I Will Fight For You”
Text: Exodus 14:13-14 God has our backs. As a result of this, we are not left alone to face life’s greatest struggles: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still” (Exodus 14:14). How has God been faithful to defend you in your life?

Great Big Little Words” (10:30 AM Blended) “Always
Text: Matthew 28:16-20 Before his ascension, Jesus gave his disciples the Great Commission, which still gives the church its purpose and calling today. We were also given the promise of Christ’s presence in and through all that we do to fulfill that Great Commission along with one of God’s greatest promises to us: “and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Great Big Little Words “Trust”
Text: Genesis 22:1-14 In life’s hardest moments, how do we perceive that God is at work? Do we trust in God’s goodness even when the evidence seems to point to the absence of God? What if everything we value the most was to be taken from us? Could it be that God is calling us into a radical trust relationship for a higher purpose than just our own comfort?
