    Purpose in Pain | Meant For Good | May 10th, 2026

    Some of the deepest wounds we carry are not only about what happened to us, but who hurt us.We live in a broken world, but we also live in broken relationships. Betrayal, disappointment, conflict, and pain can leave marks on our hearts that are hard to move past. And when the pain runs deep, many of us find ourselves asking: Where was God in this?This Sunday, we will conclude our series on the life of Joseph. After years of betrayal, loss, false accusation, and suffering, Joseph finally stands face to face with the very brothers who caused so much of his pain. In that moment, he has a choice: will he allow bitterness to take root, or will he trust that God has been working even here?Joseph’s story reminds us that pain can become a lens. If we are not careful, it can distort the way we see God, others, and ourselves. It can keep us fixed on the offense and unable to move forward. But Genesis 45 invites us to see something different:Where the world wants us to stay paralyzed in pain, God invites us to view our pain through His purpose.Joseph was able to say, “God sent me.” Later, he would say, “You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good.” That does not mean the pain was not real. It does not mean the wounds did not matter. It means the pain was not pointless.

    Choose Forgiveness | Meant For Good | May 3rd, 2026

    This Sunday we continue our series on the life of Joseph. This week will be the heaviest conversation we have had yet as we talk about how to find healing when we have been hurt. Joseph has faced many tests up to this point in his life, and this one is by far the biggest he will face: forgiveness and restoration. It has been a long time since he last interacted with his brothers. His dreams have now come to fulfillment. He sees them and could have ignored them, but instead he tests them to see if they have experienced real transformation in their hearts since the hurt they caused. We have much to cover this Sunday as we look at portions of Scripture from Genesis 41 through 43. Joseph shows many lessons for us to learn. How do we offer forgiveness? What should we feel emotionally? When do we need to test people and discern whether they are being honest? He forgives, blesses, and eats with them before they confess or acknowledge anything. Forgiveness might not fix someone else, but it will free you. Oftentimes when we face hurtful emotions and people, we retreat to a safe place where there is no hurt. We can ignore it. However, the safe places with no hurt are also places with no healing or joy.

    Pit to Palace | Meant For Good | April 26th, 2026

    This week we will continue in our series  “Meant for Good.” We have been studying the life of Joseph, and we will be in chapters 40 and 41 of the book of Genesis. The title of the message is “Pit to Palace.” Throughout these two chapters, we see that Joseph interprets dreams for a cupbearer, a baker, and King Pharaoh himself. These dreams and interpretations are extraordinary and life-changing for all involved, including Joseph. Most people have a hard time seeing what God is doing in their lives to prepare them for the things He wants to do. It is difficult to see what will be when we are deep in what is. One of the most prominent characteristics we see in the life of Joseph is his faithfulness, no matter where he was. Whether in the pit or in the palace, Joseph stayed true to God and was being conformed from the inside out so that God could use him for His glory. This Sunday, we want to ask ourselves, “What is God doing in my life to conform and prepare me for His future glory?” WEBSITE: https://five39.church/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/five39church/ INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/five39church/ PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/five39-church/

    Protected by His Presence | Meant For Good | April 19, 2026

    This week, we continue our series on the life of Joseph, looking at Chapter 39 with a message titled, “Protected by His Presence.” Often, we walk through the highs and lows of life and wonder, “Is God really with me?” If He is, why am I experiencing so much turmoil, temptation, and trial? God was with Joseph in a unique way, and it wasn’t shown in the absence of problems, but in the pit and the prison he experienced. He was innocent, and yet his life was full of trouble. You would think God would let up on him. He seems to be doing the right thing over and over, and yet we see him attacked again and again. We will see clearly that living in integrity doesn’t mean you won’t be lied about, and that God’s protection and presence are on those who fear Him and are faithful. Joseph has a high view of sin and is obedient in every way. We have the opportunity to see the beginning, middle, and end of his story, and really the “what” and “why” behind what God is allowing. We don’t get that same opportunity in our own stories. God is often calling us deeper for reasons we cannot yet see. Instead of asking “why” or “what,” we may need to look up and simply ask for strength to be faithful—to fear the Lord and do the next right thing. Our goal this Sunday is to encourage those who are experiencing the pit or the prison: God’s protection and presence are found there, not just once you experience relief.

    Bend In The Road | Meant For Good | April 12, 2026

    This Sunday, we begin a new teaching series in the book of Genesis, studying the life and character of Joseph, called “Meant for Good.” We will be looking at the circumstances Joseph encountered and how they shaped his life and centered it around the purposes of God. Genesis 50:20 reminds us that what others meant for evil, God meant for good. What if even the wrong things done to us had a purpose in God’s plan? We’ve all experienced bends in the road of life that have left us numb, hurting, or frustrated. What if those bends were not meant to punish us, but to position us for something of greater purpose? Your story may bend, but in Christ, it will not break.

    Too Good To Be True | Easter | April 5th, 2026

    We are full of joy to be together this Easter as we celebrate the resurrected Christ! What an incredible opportunity for us to gather together on Saturday and Sunday to talk about the biggest and most significant event in human history. We will be looking at the rest of Luke 24:36–53 with a message titled “Too Good To Be True.” Jesus reveals himself to his followers, and they see him but still “disbelieve for joy.” That doesn’t make a lot of sense. They are truly eyewitnesses of Jesus. Jesus eats some fish to prove he is in bodily form, explains the gospel clearly to them again, and tells them the essentials for their eternity and what they need for the forgiveness of sins. He is really answering the “so what” question about this time of year for all of us. What does this event matter to every person breathing? He is patient, clear, and convincing. They respond with worship and great joy. We will spend time talking about what joy is and what it is not. We will also talk about them seeing his wounds and what that should mean for our earthly scars. Jesus, after coming back from the dead, could have had any conversation with them, but he spends his time on the gospel, making sure we get that right. He gives them a promise and then leaves them. They respond with worship of Him and great joy. The first disciples had great joy. Usually, we have joy when we first follow Jesus, but sadly it fades. Life, suffering, the enemy, and time wear us down and dull the joy and freedom Jesus offers. May we look at Jesus this Easter, have a restored joy, invite people to him, and worship him.

    The 6 Mile Walk | How Could They Know? | March 29th, 2026

    We’re one week away from Easter! We’ve been praying this series has been helpful for you as we seek to share Jesus with people in our lives. This Sunday, we will wrap up the series talking about relational and conversational evangelism with a message titled, “The 6 Mile Walk.” We will look at the 7 Mile Walk Jesus took, and yes, we’ll address why we are calling it the 6 Mile Walk. Everyone we talk to is on their own journey. Our role is to walk with them. Jesus is going to give us some very practical insight. There are some things we can do and some things only God can do.
