Draw Near

Calen reminds us to draw near to God and that it is an intentional act of faith, surrender, and obedience, as seen throughout Scripture. Where those who seek Him find His presence, grace, and power. Whether through the desperation of the woman with the issue of blood, the prayers of Solomon, or the abiding relationship Jesus calls us to, God promises to respond to those who humbly seek Him, offering rest, strength, and transformation.

First Sunday Communion with Summer Milley

Summer summarizes the genealogy in Matthew 1 and tells the story of God's grace, showing how He redeemed people despite their failures. How the bible ultimately leads to Jesus, who embodied grace by humbling Himself to save us. When we take communion, we remember not just His sacrifice on the cross but the ongoing grace that has always been at the heart of God's plan, saving us through faith in Him. February 2ns, 2025.

Into the Deep | Part 2

Caleb emphasizes Jesus' invitation to step deeper into faith, using the story of Peter's encounter with Jesus in Luke 5:1-11 as a metaphor for trusting and surrendering to God's guidance. It encourages individuals to bring their struggles and emptiness to Jesus, take small steps of faith, and embrace a transformative journey toward greater purpose and intimacy with God.

Into The Deep

God is stirring a fresh hunger across His Church. In this message we read the account of Jesus calling Peter and how he is encouraged to push his boat from the shore to the shallows and from the shallows into deep waters. We were encouraged to come out off the beach and to go out a little deeper in our relationship with God and see how He can move in our lives - Caleb Groeneweg. January 19th, 2025.

Holy & Hungry

This week, Caleb reflects on God's grace and kindness and invites us to seek His presence together, Shaping our lives and church to be presence-led, abiding in Him and moving at His direction. Like Joshua, who lingered in God's presence with passion and purpose, we aim to love Him above all, letting everything else flow from His deep connection. January 12th, 2024.

A Guide to Being Fruitful

For the new year, Caleb reminds us to focus on two transformative goals: seeking God above all else and surrendering fully to His will. By prioritizing Him over all other pursuits and humbly submitting our plans to His guidance, we open our lives to His blessings, ensuring a year of spiritual growth, purpose, and fruitfulness.

Joy | Advent with Caleb Groeneweg

How it brings light, peace, and salvation to a world in darkness, as foretold in Isaiah and celebrated throughout Scripture.

Love | Advent with Justice Ploughman

Mary, the Mother of Jesus, is celebrated as a central figure in Christianity, particularly as "Theotokos" (Mother of God), a title affirming that she gave Jesus His humanity while His divinity remained eternal. Her willingness to lay down her life in obedience to God's will mirrors Jesus' ultimate act of vulnerability and love through the Incarnation, illustrating how God became human to dwell among and save His people, offering a profound exchange of love and sacrifice.
