    A Faith That Won't Quit 2026 08 16

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 15 and the Canaanite woman who won't be sent away. Jesus draws a hard line — only the children's bread — and she answers that even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the table, showing a faith he calls "great." The people we're quickest to turn away are often the ones God uses to teach us who he is.

    LESSONS THAT LIVE -- 2026 08 09

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 14 — the story we've been reading backwards. We make it about Peter's nerve, the brave step out of the boat, but the one who climbs out is the one who sinks, and all his courage gives him is three words: "Lord, save me." A word for the storms that don't wait for a good day, and the name that comes walking across the water anyway.

    More Than Enough 2026 08 02

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on the feeding of the five thousand in Matthew 14. When the disciples count only five loaves and two fish, they call it nothing — but Jesus offers a third way between leaving it all to God and carrying it alone: bring the little you have and put it in God's hands. What might Christ do with the gifts we're tempted to call "not enough"?

    Hidden & Found - 2026 07 26

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on Jesus' five parables of the kingdom in Matthew 13 — a mustard seed, a bit of yeast, a hidden treasure. The kingdom of God doesn't arrive as spectacle; it rises quietly in the ordinary and the overlooked. Where might you catch sight of it this week?

    Wheat and Weeds 2026 07 19

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on the parable of the wheat and the weeds in Matthew 13, and the instinct we all have to sort people into piles. But the roots grow tangled, and the sorting was never ours to do. What if we set the shears down?

    Parable of the Sower - 2026 07 12

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on the parable of the sower and the anxious question of "enough" — how scarcity thinking can disguise itself as wisdom. The invitation: to trust the sower hasn't stopped throwing, and to live like people who believe there's always more seed.

    The Cost of Following - 2026 06 21

    This week, Pastor Will reflects on Matthew 10:24–39 and Jesus' unflinching word to those he sends: it will cost you something, and do not be afraid. Not because the cost isn't real — but because the God who counts the sparrows has counted you. “HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD” -- CCLI Song # 4348399  |  Chris Tomlin | Ed Cash | Jesse Reeves  |  © 2004 sixsteps Music (Admin.by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Vamos Publishing (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  | worshiptogether.com songs(Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)  |  Wondrously Made Songs (Admin. by Music Services, Inc.)  |  For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use.
