Maybe nothing is wrong

Have you ever walked into a room, looked around, and immediately thought, “Something’s off. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be”?
Maybe it’s your job, your relationships, your body, or even your season of life. That quiet but constant voice whispers, “Something is wrong with the way things are.”

This mindset becomes one of the deepest strongholds we live in—an invisible weight that keeps us stuck in frustration, fear, and striving.

But what if you just considered… maybe there isn’t anything wrong? That doesn’t mean everything is ideal, or that it’s what you would choose. It doesn’t excuse injustice or invite apathy. It simply means acknowledging what is without judgment—as the place where God meets you.

Scripture gently reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10). Sometimes your soul—and even your body—is just asking you to pause, release the tension, and stop trying to control everything.

Let things be. Let God lead.

When you stop fighting reality and start resting in God’s presence, a shift happens. You begin to live in harmony with life rather than in constant resistance. Often, it’s not the situation but the inner fight against it that causes the most suffering.

This doesn’t mean we stop taking action. But we begin to move from a different place—a place of trust, not turmoil. And that’s where true peace and power begin to rise.

God is still on the throne. You’re not alone in the chaos. You can breathe. You can rest. You are held.

Hope Has a Name: Jesus

Easter is more than just a holiday. It’s more than springtime and pastel colors and baskets filled with chocolate. Easter is the heartbeat of our faith—the moment that changed everything.

It’s the story of a Savior who didn’t stay in the grave.
It’s the promise that sin doesn’t have the final word.
It’s the victory that death has been defeated once and for all.

And that means hope is alive.

Maybe you're walking through a season where hope feels distant. Maybe life feels heavy, uncertain, or just plain hard. Easter meets us right there. Because the resurrection of Jesus isn’t just a moment in history—it’s the source of ourstrength, our peace, and our unshakable hope today.

When Jesus rose from the dead, He didn’t just prove who He was. He made a way for us to rise too. To rise above fear. To rise out of shame. To rise into a brand new life—one filled with joy, purpose, and freedom.

That’s why we celebrate. That’s why we sing. That’s why Easter is the most joyful day of the year. Because the tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive!

We’d love for you to join us as we remember, reflect, and rejoice together:

🌿 Good Friday Service @ 11 am – A powerful, immersive morning of reflection on the cross and the love that held Jesus there.
🌅 Easter Sunday Celebration @ 11 am – A joyful celebration of the resurrection, full of worship, hope, and new life!

Bring your friends, your family, your doubts, your questions—come as you are. There’s a place for you here.

Let’s celebrate the best news the world has ever known:
Jesus is alive. Hope is alive. And because of that, so are we.

Why did I come up here?

So yesterday, I left the kitchen to grab something from my office, but by the time I got upstairs, I couldn’t remember what I came for. I stood there for a second, wondering out loud, "Why did I come up here?" I scanned the office, hoping something would jog my memory. Nothing. Halfway down the stairs, it finally hit me—I went up for a pair of scissors! Ugh! At least I got in some extra steps.

I’ve been assured by my contemporaries that this is completely normal, and I felt even better when my 30-something kid admitted it happens to her, too. Forgetfulness is just part of being human!

We all forget things—our keys, a friend’s birthday, a password. It’s frustrating, but usually harmless. Yet sometimes, we forget things that truly matter. In difficult seasons, we may cry out to God for help, but if things don’t go the way we hope, we can forget the countless ways God has already provided for us.

The Bible is full of stories of people forgetting God’s goodness. The Israelites, for example, saw God part the Red Sea, yet later doubted His provision in the wilderness (Exodus 14:21-22; 16:2-3). We, too, can be quick to forget the miracles and mercies God has already poured into our lives.

But God is always at work—even in the chaos of our daily lives. God created this world and filled it with good things, including God’s people. God extends mercy we don’t deserve and gives us a purpose greater than ourselves: to love God, love others, and share God’s goodness (Matthew 22:37-39, 1 Peter 2:9).

So today, let’s fight against forgetfulness—not just of our to-do lists, but of God’s faithfulness. Take a moment to remember how God has shown up in your life. Thank God for His goodness, and worship God for who God is.

"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits." —Psalm 103:2
