Current Sermon Series BACK AT IT: Returning to a Life of Discipleship Summer has a way of changing our rhythms. Vacations, travel, new schedules, school starting back, and unexpected detours can all pull us away from the habits and priorities that shape us as followers of Jesus. The good news is that Jesus continually invites us back. Discipleship isn’t about having a perfect track record — it’s about returning to Him again and again. Back At It is a six-week series about re-centering our lives on Jesus. Together, we'll rediscover what it means to follow Him by remembering who we are, establishing life-giving rhythms, living in authentic community, serving others, and learning how to keep going when life knocks us off course.

Connecting at Home for August 30, 2026
David is Kind to Mephibosheth (2 Samuel 9) ✝️ Here’s what happens: King David finds Jonathan’s son Mephibosheth. David shows kindness by inviting him to the palace, feeding him a meal, and letting him eat at the palace regularly. God was kind to David, and David passed it on. God is kind, so we’re kind. “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.” (2 Corinthians 1:4) 👨👩👦 Family Together Time Choose one or two people outside of your household, and overwhelm them with kindness by showing them an act of kindness each day this week! Here are some ideas: Help around the yard or house Make food for them Draw pictures for them Make cards for them Write heartfelt letters to them Make a video for them Text them with encouragement Call to pray with them Use your talents to come up with your own kind ideas 💬 Talk About This: What is the kindest thing someone has ever done for you?
