In this powerful message, Pastor Abbie Sawczak explores the stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Esau in Genesis 25-27, uncovering the negative patterns that can hold us back from experiencing the fullness of God's promises. These Biblical examples teach us that our past may inform us but do not have to form us. Pastor Abbie encourages us to break free from the cycles of centering our lives around fulfilling God's promises rather than being present with Him and fighting to control the narrative instead of surrendering it to God. Join us as we discover how to replace negative patterns with new ones that align with Jesus' way of life and learn to make decisions out of a desire to be faithful to God rather than desperation. Get ready to let go of the past and embrace the story God is writing in your life!

In this Palm Sunday message, Pastor Abbie Sawczak invites us to reflect on the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. She challenges us to welcome Him as the King He truly is, not the king we expect or want Him to be. Through carefully examining Luke's gospel account (Luke 19:28-44), Pastor Abbie reveals how Jesus fulfilled prophecy by riding into the city on a donkey, symbolizing His humility and servant leadership. She encourages us to surrender our lives fully to Christ, letting go of our idols and expectations and embracing His way of peace, justice, and love for all nations. Join us as we explore what it means to make way for the King of Kings in our lives and our world.

In this week's sermon, Pastor Abbie Sawczak explores the topic of grief and how we can process it in a way that draws us closer to God. She emphasizes that grief is an inevitable part of life, but how we choose to handle it determines whether it leads to terminal loss or transformational living. Through the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead in John 11, Pastor Abbie shows us that Jesus welcomes our honest emotions and invites us to grieve with him. She also discusses the power of lament as a form of praise that allows us to express our pain while trusting in God's character. Join us as we learn how to name our grief, release it to God, and allow him to heal us on the path to a deeply formed life.
