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.

This Week's Message

8.16.26 // Make A Plan // Luke 10:38-42 (ESV)
Doug Vernon, Guest Speaker
