This Easter Sunday, Pastor Josh walks us through three gardens, Eden, Gethsemane, and the empty tomb, revealing what was lost, what Jesus surrendered, and what has now been restored. In a garden filled with grief, Mary stood face to face with Jesus and didn't recognize Him until He spoke her name, reminding us that this is personal. This message is an invitation to turn twice, not just to see Jesus, but to recognize Him when He calls you.

On Palm Sunday, the crowd celebrated while Jesus wept. In this message, we walk through Luke 19:28–44 and the tension of a King who didn't come to meet expectations, but to exceed them. As Pastor Josh Kelsey unpacks why Jesus wept over Jerusalem, we're invited to examine our own hearts, our expectations, and discover a love that leads not to power, but to the cross.

This week, Pastor Mike Oaks shares a message titled Out of the Wilderness, walking through Deuteronomy 6 and the journey of Israel into the promise. As we follow their story, we're invited to reflect on our own, learning the danger of forgetting God in seasons of comfort, what it means to live from a new identity as sons and daughters, and how true victory comes not from our strength but from trusting that the battle belongs to Him.

This week's message, The Path of Perfect Love, walks through 1 John 4:14–19 and the tension we feel when we fall short and begin to question where we stand with God. When you begin to understand the deep, otherworldly love of God, it changes the way you live. Love starts to lead instead of fear, and even in the moments you fall short, there's no hiding or striving, just a return. Pastor Kathryn Myers reminds us that repentance becomes something you rejoice in, not because you got it right, but because His love keeps drawing you back into communion with Him, restoring you, transforming you, and anchoring you in the truth that you are fully known and still fully loved.

In this message, Pastor Mike Oaks teaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 on what it means to live a life of ceaseless prayer. Through Paul's encouragement to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances, we are invited into a deeper relationship with God that extends beyond occasional prayer into everyday life. Pastor Mike explores how starting with joy, understanding God as our Father, and learning to walk with Him throughout the day transforms prayer from a routine into an ongoing conversation. As we grow in this relationship, we discover that God's will is not simply that we pray more, but that we live in constant communion with Him.
