Send us a text10 I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned, in whatever situation I am, to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Send us a textFaith, Forgiveness, and Humility – Luke 17:1-19In Luke 17, Jesus teaches that temptation is inevitable—but giving in is not. He warns us not to cause others to stumble, calls us to forgive freely, and reminds us that even faith the size of a mustard seed can make the impossible possible.True disciples serve humbly, expecting no reward, and live with grateful hearts like the healed leper who returned to thank Jesus.Faith grows through obedience, forgiveness, and gratitude—because Jesus is worthy of it all.

Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?”

Send us a text14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Send us a textThis week, Pastor Aaron unpacks one of Jesus’ most sobering parables, the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Through this teaching, we see sharp contrasts that point us toward eternal realities: the poor vs. the rich, feasting vs. famine, Heaven vs. Hades, anguish now vs. anguish forever, and the urgency to respond to God’s call before it’s too late.Jesus reminds us that the way we live now, and the One we serve, determines our eternity. Will we love God fully, repent, and put our faith in the risen One?Let’s live with eternity in view, crossing the “gate” of our own comfort to care for others, trusting Christ through every season, and responding to His message while there’s still time.

Send us a text19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be

Send us a text18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and he who marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Send us a textIn this message, Pastor Mike reminds us that God’s design for marriage is sacred and unchanging. Jesus upholds the full standard of God’s law—calling us to honor marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. While divorce was never God’s intent, His grace meets us even in our brokenness. We’re reminded that truth and love never contradict—and that through Christ, restoration and forgiveness are always possible.

Send us a text14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. 15 And he said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Send us a textIn Luke 16, Jesus flips expectations by teaching through the story of a dishonest manager. The point isn’t dishonesty, but urgency—how we use our lives and resources reveals where our true devotion lies. This passage challenges us to check our character, shrewdness, faithfulness, and heart, reminding us that we cannot serve both God and money. True faithfulness invests in what lasts forever.
