Why Success Never Feels Like Enough

This message continues a seven-week series built around the questions that quietly shape our lives. In Part 5, we explore a question many of us carry beneath our drive and ambition: Am I successful? Through personal story, cultural reflection, and Scripture, this teaching examines how success becomes tangled with worth—and how failure can feel like a threat to belonging itself. Drawing from Jesus’ words in John 15 and wisdom from Ecclesiastes, we’re invited to untangle who we are from what we do. Success, Jesus suggests, isn’t something we achieve through striving. It’s something that grows when we remain connected to love—like a branch connected to a vine. The invitation isn’t to stop working or dreaming. It’s to release shame, loosen our grip on performance, and rediscover success as a way of living from love, not striving for it.

Do I Really Belong Here?

This message continues a seven-week series centered on the questions that shape how we see ourselves, God, and one another. In Part 4, we wrestle with a deeply human question: Am I wanted? Not just tolerated. Not useful. But genuinely wanted—for who we are, not what we contribute. Tracing this question through the Old Testament, the life of Jesus, and the early church, this teaching challenges the idea that belonging is earned through success, strength, or religious performance. Instead, it reveals a different starting point: belonging as identity. You belong because you are human. Because you are created. Because you are seen. Jesus disrupts every system that decides who’s in and who’s out—and invites us into a community where belonging comes first, and transformation follows. The point isn’t change. The point is belonging. Change grows from there.

Am I Loved? (Why This Question Won’t Go Away)

This message continues a seven-week series exploring the questions that quietly shape how we live. In Part 3, we turn to one of the most personal questions we carry: Am I loved? Not as an abstract idea, but as a lived reality—felt in moments when we wonder if anyone really sees us, hears us, or knows us. This teaching explores how the desire to be loved is often expressed through our need to feel known, seen, and heard—and how, when love feels uncertain, we begin searching for it in ways that leave us exhausted and empty. Drawing from Scripture, story, and lived experience, we’re invited to consider a different starting point: love as something received, not earned. The invitation isn’t to love harder or perform better. It’s to stop living on scraps—and begin living from love’s overflow.

The Question Beneath Our Anxiety

This message continues a seven-week series built around the questions that quietly shape our lives. In Part 2, we wrestle with the second question many of us carry beneath our anxiety: Am I secure? Using Jesus’ teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, this message reframes worry—not as a lack of faith, but as a sign of how deeply we long for safety and stability. Jesus isn’t dismissing real needs or practical concerns. Instead, he’s exposing how anxiety grows when security becomes something we hoard rather than something we share. Through reflections on money, health, relationships, eternity, and generosity, this teaching invites us to change our relationship with security—and to imagine a world where those who have security help create ecosystems of safety for those who don’t. The promise isn’t that tomorrow won’t be hard. The promise is that we don’t face it alone.

What We’re Really Asking in the Storm

This message opens a seven-week series built around the questions we ask when life feels uncertain. The first question is simple, but it sits beneath so much of our fear and anxiety: Am I safe? Using the story of Jesus calming the storm, this teaching explores why the disciples weren’t just afraid of the waves—they were afraid of what it meant to be in the presence of a God they couldn’t control. The answer Jesus offers isn’t a promise that storms won’t come. It’s a deeper assurance: I am safe. Not because nothing bad will happen, but because God is present in the middle of it. This series isn’t about eliminating fear. It’s about discovering where our true safety comes from.
