At the edge of what you can endure, what you can hope, what you can see—God meets you there. Because for God, the edge is never the end. It’s the beginning of your next chapter. 💧 This week’s sermon: “Edge of Oil Things” — where anointing meets breaking, and breaking becomes testimony.

There’s no such thing as Skybox Jesus. The good news is grounded, humble, and calling us in—not out. Even from the trees we hide in.

We all have moments we wish we could take back. Peter had three.
Three denials.
Three chances to say it again: “Yes, Lord, I love you.”
And Jesus met every failure with purpose.
This week’s sermon was a reminder that as God forgives…God restores.
If you’re carrying shame, hear this:
God’s love is the bridge between your failure and your future.
And every step forward: feedi...
CALL BLOCKED.
But Jesus still got through.
Today we told the truth about interference in noise and shame and doubt. So many forces try to muffle our cry and God’s reply.
But Bartimaeus kept calling. And Jesus was already calling back.
If you missed it the first or the hundredth time, don’t worry. God’s still on the line.
📞 Take heart. Get up. God is calling you.

The woman stood where they left her. She was surrounded by silence, not stones.
And Jesus asked: “Where are your accusers?”
This Sunday, Pastor Kaji leads us deeper into Answer Me This with a question that undoes shame and makes room for mercy.
The accusers may have walked away…but grace stayed.

Jesus isn’t about lip service.
“Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord’ and not do what I say?”
It’s a hard question. Real faith requires real follow-through.
This Sunday in Answer Me This, we’re reckoning with the gap between what we say and how we live.

Jesus turns the conversation personal:
“Who do you say that I am?”
Not what they say. Not what the Church says. Not what your parents believed.
You.
This Sunday in our Answer Me This series, we’re asking what it really means to name Jesus in truth that shapes your life.

The wind is howling. The waves are rising. Does Jesus panic? No. Instead, he asks: “Why are you so afraid?”
This is a question of trust.
This week in our Answer Me This series, we’re sitting with the fear that lives just beneath the surface. And the faith that calls it by name.

Healing is holy. Are you ready to be healed?
Jesus looked at a man who’d been stuck for 38 years and asked: “Do you want to be made well?”
It’s a soul check.
This Sunday, we continue our summer series Answer Me This with a question that challenges every place in us that resists change…even the good kind.

What are you really searching for?
That’s the very first thing Jesus asks. “What are you looking for?”
Desire is holy ground. This Sunday, we start our new series Answer Me This: Jesus’ Questions Still Matter with the question that starts everything.
Let’s get honest about what we’re chasing…and what’s chasing us.
Join us at The Park, in person or online.
We’re starting something deep.

Anxiety abounds, watching your moves, whispering worst-case scenarios, trying to convince you that you’re not enough.
Did you know that Jesus isn't scolding you for feeling anxious?
Instead, Jesus reminds you: Even the ravens are fed. Even the lilies are clothed. Aren’t you worth more than these?

This sermon is for every woman who’s been told to wait for a man to claim her. For every person watching their rights unravel while someone shouts “God said so.”
We’re not going back to Ruth’s rules.
We’re moving forward with Ruth’s courage.
Ruth wasn’t just a survivor—she was an ancestor to liberation.

“At Pentecost, Spirit didn’t show up with a manual or a manifesto. Spirit came as wind. As breath. As presence.”
The Holy Spirit doesn’t wait for perfection. She shows up where there’s confusion, hunger, and hope — not to destroy, but to dislodge what no longer serves.
She doesn’t gatekeep.
She guides.
She doesn’t silence.
She speaks.
✨ So catch your breath.
Just breathe. Let that be enough.
And let the dream begin...
Ever feel like you’re stuck in a ditch?
Can’t climb out?
Know this: God doesn’t leave us stuck.
Not in shame. Not in fear. Not in comfort disguised as calling.
This Ascension Sunday, Pastor Kaji reminds us:
Faith isn’t just about staying put. It’s about rising.
Again and again and again.
Watch Knock It Off now.

“Joy in the Key of Grace” is a way of life. This week, we remembered that real joy isn’t passive. It’s practiced. Protected. It sings when there are no words. And it refuses to let fire burn.
