    How to Trust God When Life is Hard | 1 Peter 1:3-9, 13-16

    When life gets hard, it can expose just how fragile we really feel. So what do you do when you’re not strong enough... and trusting God doesn’t make the pain disappear?

    In this message from 1 Peter 1, we look at what it means to hold onto a living hope in the middle of grief, suffering, and uncertainty. Following Jesus doesn’t mean pretending everything is okay. You can acknowledge the hurt, feel the grief, and still trust that God is with you in the fire.

    You don’t have to be strong enough. You can hold onto Jesus while He carries you through.

    Smell Like Smoke: The Missing Piece of Following Jesus | Jude 20–23

    What if following Jesus was never meant to stop with attending church, reading your Bible, and trying to be a good person? We believe God has even MORE for you.

    In Jude 20–23, we’re called to build ourselves up in faith, remain rooted in God’s love, and get close enough to people in the fire to help pull them out. Together, we're developing a smoky faith that is strong enough to endure and courageous enough to join Jesus in his rescue mission.
