What Keeps Us From Real Community?

by: Jenny Kimber

07/15/2026

0

Most people want meaningful relationships, but real community can be difficult. Busy schedules, past hurts, fear of being known, and the desire to stay independent can all keep us at a distance.

Jesus paints a different picture. He prayed that His followers would be deeply united so that the world would see God's love through the way they cared for one another. Real community isn't optional—it's part of how we follow Jesus and grow in our faith.

Opening Prayer

Father, thank Y

Where Are the Cracks Showing?

Most of us spend our lives building something—our careers, our families, our finances, or our future. Those things matter, but Jesus reminds us that the strength of our lives depends on something deeper than what others can see. The storms of life don't create our foundation; they reveal it. This week, we'll explore what it means to build our lives on Jesus, the only foundation that truly lasts.

Opening Prayer

Father, thank You for bringing us together today. Give us honest

Did You Come to Serve or Be Served?

by: Kris Stowers

06/08/2026

0

Most of us naturally walk into a room thinking about what we need, what we want, or what we hope to receive.

Jesus walked into every room differently.

He came looking for people to help, needs to meet, and lives to impact. In Matthew 20, Jesus challenges His followers to rethink what greatness really means. Instead of pursuing status, recognition, or position, He points to the life of a servant.

The question for us is simple but uncomfortable:

Did I come to serve or be served?

Fruit Reveals the Rooot

by: Austin Stowers

05/22/2026

0

It’s easy to focus on appearances. We can look productive, successful, busy, or even spiritual on the outside while feeling disconnected on the inside.

But Jesus says our fruit reveals our root.

In John 15, Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and us as the branches. Healthy fruit doesn’t come from trying harder—it comes from staying connected to Him. The kind of life growing out of us reveals what we’re truly connected to.

This conversation is about slowing down long eno

Why Do We Resist Real Surrender?

by: Kris Stowers

05/12/2026

0

When we hear the word surrender, most of us instinctively resist it.

Surrender can sound weak, unsafe, or even losing. We want to protect ourselves, manage outcomes, and keep control over our lives. But in John 10, Jesus describes Himself as both the Shepherd and the Door for the sheep. He is not trying to take life from us. He is leading us into life.

Jesus says the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy—but He came so we could have life abundantly. The tension is that abu

What Do You Run to Under Pressure?

by: Joseph Belton

05/05/2026

0

When life gets stressful, uncertain, or overwhelming, we all run somewhere for comfort, control, or security. Sometimes we turn toward healthy things. Other times we lean on habits, distractions, or temporary solutions that can’t actually hold us together.

In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd who leads, protects, and stays with His people. Unlike the thief or the hired hand, Jesus doesn’t abandon us when life gets hard. He invites us to trust Him instead

What Voice Do You Trust Most?

by: Kris Stowers

04/27/2026

0

What voice do you trust most? It’s a real question—and it shapes more than you think. Every day, different voices compete for your attention and influence. Jesus doesn’t just offer guidance—He says He is the way, the truth, and the life. This conversation helps us notice what’s shaping us and decide who we’re actually following.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You for bringing us together. Help us be honest about what influences us and open to hearing Your voice. Give us clarity a

Why is Honesty so Hard for Us?

by: Nikolai Korepanov

04/21/2026

0

We don’t usually mean to hide. We just get busy. We push through stress, frustration, and distance without really paying attention to what’s happening inside. But what we ignore doesn’t stay small—it shapes us. Jesus doesn’t bring things into the light to shame us, but to heal us.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You for bringing us together. Help us slow down and be honest about what’s really going on inside us. Give us courage to bring those things into Your light. Amen.

What gets your time first—God or everything else?

by: Kris Stowers

04/16/2026

Quick Summary

You never miss meals—but it’s easy to miss God. In John 6, Jesus challenges people who were focused on getting their physical needs met while ignoring their deeper spiritual hunger. He points them to something better—Himself as the true source of life.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You for bringing us together. Help us slow down and be honest about what’s really first in our lives. Give us clarity as we talk and courage to respond. Amen.

Where Does God's Timing Frustrate You the Most?

by: John Kimber

04/07/2026

0

Quick Summary

Waiting is one of the hardest parts of following God. In John 11, Jesus delays when His friends are hurting—and it creates confusion, grief, and questions. But what feels like silence is not the absence of God. This conversation helps us explore where God’s timing feels frustrating and what it looks like to trust Him anyway.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You for bringing us together. Help us be honest about where we struggle with waiting. Give us openness as we talk

What makes forgiveness feel unfair?

by: Kris Stowers

03/29/2026

0

Summary

Forgiveness can feel like letting someone off the hook. Like they got away with something. And if we’re honest, that’s what makes it so hard.

But Jesus shows us a different perspective. Not by minimizing the hurt—but by reminding us how much mercy we’ve received ourselves. This conversation isn’t about easy answers. It’s about being honest about what we carry—and what it might look like to start letting it go.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You for bringing us together. You

How Do You Define Success?

by: John Kimber

03/01/2026

0

Summary

We all have a picture of what success looks like—what we achieve, what we build, what we secure. And without realizing it, that picture starts shaping how we live.

But Jesus challenges that definition. In His Kingdom, success isn’t about what you accumulate—it’s about what you’re willing to surrender. This conversation is about getting honest about what’s driving us—and what it might look like to realign our lives with what actually lasts.

Opening Prayer

God, thank You
