GREAT NEWS IN AN AGE OF DOUBT AND MEANINGLESSNESS
In a world where faith no longer feels obvious—and belief in God often seems implausible—how do we share the gospel with clarity, humility, and hope?

This Sunday we’ll reflect on 2 Corinthians 4:3–7 and explore what it means to reveal Christ through both our words and our lives in a disenchanted age. Scripture reminds us that God alone gives light—but He chooses to carry that light in ordinary “jars of clay” like us.

Together we’ll consider:

- why many of our neighbors are searching for meaning
- how Christian witness can either veil or reveal the gospel
- and how gentleness, hope, and faithful presence shape a credible witness today

If you’ve ever wondered how to live and speak about Jesus in a culture marked by unbelief, this will serve you well.

Join us this Sunday at 10am as we worship, and explore how God still shines His light through imperfect people.

LOCATING OURSELVES IN CHRIST'S MISSION
This Sunday we begin a new teaching series:
Revealing Christ: Beauty, Goodness, and Truth for a Disenchanted World.

We’ll begin with a foundational question: What exactly is Christ’s mission—and where do we fit within it?

In the Book of Acts, Christ’s mission is the restoration of God’s kingdom. The disciples seem concerned to know when, but Jesus redirects their attention to how. In fact, Christ empowers His church to be active agents in the restoration of His kingdom.

Acts traces that mission from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth, and in doing so, it helps us locate ourselves in God’s unfolding story. We are not waiting for the mission to begin. We are living at the ends of the earth—called to faithful witness amid hardship, uncertainty, and hope.

This message explains why the entire series is vital. The rest of the series will explore to a world that has become resistant to Christianity.

Join us this Sunday as we open Acts and reorient ourselves around and locate ourselves within Christ’s kingdom mission.

Looking forward to it,
Jerry

LOVE GOES SMALL
This Sunday we’ll reflect on a surprising truth at the heart of Christmas: God chose small.

When God came to confront the power of Caesar, He did not arrive with armies or fanfare. He came as a baby—born in obscurity, laid in a feeding trough, announced to shepherds.

In a world that equates size with significance and power with worth, Luke 2:1–20 shows us something radically different: love moves downward before it changes anything.

In Love Goes Small, we’ll explore how
• Jesus became small for the sake of love
• Jesus remained small rather than chasing popularity or power
• And how God still works through what the world overlooks

If you’ve ever wondered whether small acts of faithfulness matter—or felt discouraged because your life seems insignificant—this message is for you.

Join us Sunday at 10am as we gather around the manger and rediscover the power of love that goes small.

THE FATHER'S JOY
Advent does not rush us past the dark.
It teaches us how to wait.

This Sunday we will open Romans 15:7–13 and reflect on The Father’s Joy as Paul points us to a joy that rises from God’s faithfulness and fills His people with hope.

Paul reminds us that God keeps His promises, welcomes us in Christ, and forms a people whose life together becomes a witness to the world. Even as we wait, God is at work shaping us through hope, peace, and joy by the power of the Holy Spirit.

If you are carrying questions, weariness, or longing this Advent season, this message is for you.

Join us this Sunday at 10am as we gather to worship, listen, and look toward the horizon together.

HOW WILL YOU BE FOUND?
What will you be found doing when the Lord returns?
Peter writes that we want to be “found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight” (3:14 NLT).

Will you be found this way?

In this week’s Advent message, we’ll explore how our lives can grow in the qualities that lead to that kind of peace and purity. Peter shows us that these things don’t appear suddenly in a crisis—they are cultivated over time.

This Sunday we’ll hear from Peter that peaceful lives arise when we live in hope of the coming Day of Righteousness.

SEEING CLEARLY IN A FOGGY WORLD

Fog surrounds us—political fog, cultural fog, personal fog—and many are losing their way. But Christian hope is like a lighthouse that guides us into safe harbor.

This week begins the Advent season. Advent means waiting. People in history had to await Jesus’ first coming. We now await His return. We will explore Jesus’ parable in Luke 19, a story about a nobleman-soon-to-be-king, fearful servants, bold servants, and the question that still confronts us today:
Will we risk living fully for the King we cannot yet see?

Join us in worship as we discover how a Christian hope transforms not only our lives, but the world!

“People God puts in our lives are not obstacles but gifts. Not annoyances, but gifts. Not inconveniences… gifts.”

If people are inconvenient to you… then maybe they’re a gift for you.
A place where God forms patience, humility, and real love.
A reminder that grace often comes wrapped in discomfort.

The people you avoid may be the people God is using to shape you.
Receive them as gifts today.

These words from Psalm 103 were shared on Sunday. Let them guide your heart again today. Bless the Lord, O my soul!

🌧️ Gratitude Rooted in a Happy Future

What if gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s fine…
but learning to sing in the rain?

When the world looks uncertain, when the storm hasn’t passed, we can still give thanks... not because life is easy, but because Christ reigns.

“His song doesn’t come after the storm, it happens in the storm.”

☁️ Let this remind you:
You belong to the kingdom of light.
Even under dark skies, God is still at work.

GRATITUDE ROOTED IN A HAPPY FUTURE
Why Give Thanks Before the Storm Clears? Wen life feels uncertain, gratitude can seem unrealistic. Yet Scripture shows us that thanksgiving often rises right in the middle of the storm.

This Sunday we’ll continue our Cultivating Gratitude series with a message titled “Gratitude Rooted in a Happy Future.”

The Psalms, Paul, and Revelation all remind us that we can give thanks now because God’s justice, Christ’s victory, and the coming kingdom are certain.

Join us this Sunday as we gather to joyfully giving of thanks to the Father rooted in the future He has promised.

Building a faithful gospel witness for this generation and the next

"There’s a lot of talk about love in our culture today. The truth of the matter is, apart from the gospel, we don’t even know what love is. God showed his love among us by sending his one and only son so that we would live for him. For the city of St Petersburg, we want the gospel to come and bring life that others might live through Jesus Christ…. At the heart of love is the gospel and what God has done for us. That transforms us! There’s a goal in God loving us and that goal is for God than to love others through us. He loved us. He laid down his life for us, and now he is calling us to walk out that gospel. God’s love has not reached its goal until not only do we recognized that God loves us and the gospel informs us of that, but that then we too love one another. When we love one another, God’s love for us has reached its goal. It’s transformed us. The gospel will transform God’s people into a loving community that can reach the world!"
