    Blindsided: When Life Doesn't Go as Planned - Genesis 39

    Have you ever been blindsided by life? An unexpected diagnosis. A broken relationship. Losing someone you love. One moment everything seems fine, and suddenly life changes. In this message from Genesis 39, Pastor Greg Howard looks at the life of Joseph, a man who experienced betrayal, injustice, and disappointment yet discovered that God was with him through it all. Greg also shares personally about losing his first wife, Ashleigh, and learning to trust God when life doesn't turn out the way we hoped. Whatever you're facing today, be encouraged: You may not know what's ahead, but God does. And He hasn't abandoned you.

    "WHEN THE HEART OVERFLOWS" - MATTHEW 12:33-37

    What do your words reveal about your heart? Jesus tells us in Matthew 12:34, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." In this message, Pastor Greg Howard teaches from Matthew 12:33–37, reminding us that our words are more than just what we say—they reveal what's happening in our hearts. Our words can bring life, encouragement, and hope, or they can cause hurt and discouragement. But lasting change doesn't come from simply trying harder. It comes from staying connected to Jesus and allowing Him to transform us from the inside out. Discover how to make room for Jesus, guard your heart, meditate on God's Word, and develop a life overflowing with His love and grace. Here's the question: When life bumps into you, what spills out?

    IS THERE A SIN GOD WON'T FORGIVE? MATTHEW 12:31-32

    Few passages stir up as much fear and confusion as Matthew 12:31-32, where Jesus speaks of a sin that will not be forgiven. This week, Pastor Greg addresses the question many believers quietly carry: Have I gone too far? Looking closely at what Jesus actually said and why He said it, this message brings clarity where there has been anxiety, and reminds us that the same Savior who gave the warning is the One who offers forgiveness freely to all who come to Him.

    THE HEART OF JESUS- MATTHEW 12:9-21

    Do you ever wonder if Jesus really sees what you’re going through? In Matthew 12:9–21, Jesus notices a hurting man everyone else was overlooking. While others focused on rules, Jesus focused on the man with the withered hand. That same Jesus sees you. In “The Heart of Jesus,” Pastor Greg shows us how the compassion of Jesus meets us in our weakness, how His power helps us do what feels impossible, and why no hurt or struggle puts you beyond His reach.What is your “withered hand” or the area of your life where Jesus is asking you to trust Him and step out in faith?

    WHEN RULES MISS THE RELATIONSHIP - MATTHEW 12:1-8

    What happens when rules become more important than people? In Matthew 12:1–8, Jesus confronts the legalism of the Pharisees and reminds us of the heart of God: “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” The Pharisees saw a violation. Jesus saw a need. Pastor Greg  teaches how religion can become a burden when we lose sight of relationship, grace, mercy, and the heart of Jesus. We also discover why Jesus is our true Sabbath rest—and why the Gospel is not about earning God’s approval, but resting in what Christ has already done for us. Your rest is in Christ. If religion has ever felt like rules, pressure, or trying to be “good enough,” this message is for you.

    RSVP TO THE GREATEST INVITATION - MATTHEW 11:20-30

    Jesus gives us the greatest invitation ever: “Come to Me.” In Matthew 11:20–30, Pastor Greg explains why knowing about Jesus is not enough, we must personally respond to Him. Come with childlike humility to Jesus and find true rest for your soul. The invitation has been delivered. How will you RSVP?

    WHAT TO DO WITH UNMET EXPECTATIONS - MATTHEW 11:1-19

    What do you do when life doesn’t go the way you expected? In Matthew 11:1–19, John the Baptist finds himself in prison, questioning what God is doing. Jesus reminds him to look at the evidence: God is still working. When disappointment, doubt, or unanswered prayers hit, don’t run from Jesus—run to Him. His ways are higher, His thoughts are higher, and even when we don’t understand the plan, we can trust the One who does. In this message, Pastor Greg Howard shares how to face unmet expectations, draw closer to God, and keep trusting when life doesn’t make sense.

    SENT BY JESUS - MATTHEW 10:5-42

    Jesus sends each of us on a mission to share His good news.  In this message, Pastor Greg unpacks the commissioning of the twelve disciples, revealing what it truly costs, and what it truly means, to carry the mission of Christ into the world. We discover how to overcome fear, trust His provision, and boldly reach others with the life-changing gospel. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ…” — Romans 1:16
