This week we kick off our summer series on the Sermon on the Mount—one of the most powerful teachings Jesus ever gave.
Before Jesus sat down on the hillside and began teaching, He simply extended a profound invitation: “Come and see.” It wasn’t an invitation to religion, rules, or rituals—it was an invitation to Himself.
As we begin this journey through Matthew 5–7, we look at how following Jesus sta...
In the final message of our Rhythms series, we turn to a spiritual practice that radically reshapes our hearts and habits: generosity. Based on 2 Corinthians 9:6–15, Pastor Jono unpacks how the full life Jesus invites us into isn't found in what we keep, but in what we give.

***Raises life-changing questions (He didn’t just ...
Why do we call it Good Friday?
On this sobering yet sacred day, we reflect not just on Jesus’ death—but on the victory that was won in the Garden of Gethsemane, before a cross was ever lifted.
