Sermons from 2026
Good Friday
We rarely set out to lose our way—life just fills up, pressure builds, and somewhere along the way we drift further than we meant to go. At first it feels manageable… until one day nothing looks familiar anymore. When you realize you’re not where you thought you’d be, how do you actually find your way back?
The promise of prayer
Not every struggle looks like failure. Some come from trying harder, doing more, and still feeling like something’s missing. When effort runs out and striving leaves you empty, is it possible that the life you’re looking for isn’t achieved—but received? What if the fullness you’re chasing begins not with more effort, but with dependent prayer that makes room for God to show up?
Too Big for Prayer Alone
Not every crisis shouts. Some sit in your chest for months — a memory, a diagnosis, a fear for someone you love. When the heaviness lingers and prayer feels thin, is there a way to respond that matches the moment without losing yourself in it?
Centered
Pressure has a way of exposing what we’re really anchored to. When fear, politics, or uncertainty begin setting the emotional temperature of a church—or a life—what keeps us from drifting without even realizing it?
Nothing Wasted
Most of us don’t stop working—we just stop expecting it to matter. The tasks keep coming, but the meaning quietly thins out. But if most of life is lived in what feels temporary, what gives it substance–and keeps us going?
Burnout
Burnout rarely starts with quitting—it starts with pushing through on fumes and calling it faithfulness. When the demands keep coming and the energy doesn’t, what actually keeps us moving without hollowing us out?
Big God, Hard Places
When Work Feels Dead and You Can’t Walk Away TAG: We’re taught that effort should lead somewhere—that faithfulness eventually clears the fog. But what happens when the work stays heavy, the feedback stays off, and nothing seems to change? Where does God fit when heaven and work feel out of sync?
More Than a Paycheck
Most of us don’t stop working—we stop expecting work to matter. We adjust our effort, narrow our hopes, and learn how to survive without disappointment. But if results aren’t the only thing that give work meaning, what is meant to carry us when the payoff disappears?
