Deep and Wide: Serving With Joy
God has given every believer gifts, abilities, experiences, and opportunities that can be used to make a difference. The question isn’t whether we have something to contribute—it’s whether we are willing to find our place and serve. This Sunday, we’ll continue our Deep and Wide series with a message called “Serving with Joy.” We’ll discover that Christian service isn’t supposed to be driven by guilt or obligation. It flows from our love for Christ and our gratitude for all He has done for us. Peter writes: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10). The church is at its best when every person finds a place on the crew and uses what God has given them to bless others. Some roles are visible, while many happen quietly behind the scenes—but every act of service matters to God.

Deep and Wide: Bearing Fruit
This Sunday, August 30, we’ll continue our Deep and Wide series with a message called “Bearing Fruit.” God’s desire for us is not simply that we grow for our own benefit. As we mature in Christ, He wants our lives to make a difference—to encourage others, share His love, and help more people discover the new life found in Jesus. An apple tree doesn’t produce fruit for itself. In the same way, God’s work within us is intended to become a blessing to the people around us. Maturity multiplies! I hope you’ll join us this Sunday as we consider what it means to live fruitful lives and take our place in the larger “orchard” God is growing through His church.

Deep and Wide: Fruit of the Spirit
This Sunday, we continue our Deep & Wide series with a message on The Fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5 describes the kind of fruit God wants to grow in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But here’s the important thing: fruit isn’t something we simply hang on the outside of our lives. It grows from what God is doing inside us. The good news is that God doesn’t just tell us to try harder to become more loving, patient, or self-controlled. As we remain connected to Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, He gradually produces His fruit in our lives.

Deep and Wide: Walking in the Spirit
This Sunday, we continue our Deep & Wide series with a message called “Walking in the Spirit.” Galatians 5 reminds us that God never intended for us to live the Christian life through determination and willpower alone. He has given us His Spirit—not simply to guide us, but to give us the strength we need to become the people He has called us to be. We’ll talk about what it means to walk by the Spirit, be led by the Spirit, and keep in step with the Spirit in the ordinary decisions and struggles of everyday life. If you’ve ever thought, “I know how I’m supposed to live, but I struggle to actually live that way,” this message is for you.
