God is committed to your flourishing. This past Sunday, Pastor Filmore Bouldes shared a message from John 20, Mary’s encounter with the risen Christ, on planting and flourishing in the garden of God. Whenever Jesus seems to not be found in your life, He is closer then you think. Jesus is the gardener of new creation, trust in His unfailing love for you today. If you are looking for purpose to flow through your life, plant yourself in the garden and find yourself in the house of God.

This Easter Sunday, Pastor Josh showed the lengths Jesus went to find us and rescue us. His grace is stronger than our sin. The Cross is stronger than death. Love may be able to die, but Perfect Love could not stay dead. In the cross and resurrection we see Him giving us a new hope, a new creation, a new beginning. 

This Sunday Pastor Georgie Kelsey unpacked the idea that people who know they are well loved by God are equipped and empowered to love others well. When Jesus laid out His new commandment in John 13—that we love others as He loved us—He raised the bar on what loving others looks like. It’s the love we have for others, whether they are neighbors or enemies, that will distinguish us as Jesus’ disciples and followers. Pastor Georgie encouraged us to learn to receive the love of God better, so that we can love others better—like Jesus loves us.

This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey launched our new series, PERFECT LOVE! God wants us to grow in love so that we can show others His true love. His agape love is a one-way love that expels fear in our lives — and since fear is a spirit not a feeling, it takes the Spirit of God and His perfect love to drive out all fear. Where fear leads us into bondage, God’s Spirit of Love will lead us and others into true freedom.
