Lost & Found | For the One

Jesus’ longest parable reveals two ways to be lost: the younger brother who rebels and runs from the Father, and the older brother who obeys outwardly but harbors pride and self-righteousness. Both ultimately need the same thing—grace. This sermon highlights the heart of the Father who runs to embrace repentant sinners, challenges legalism that keeps people from the feast, and points to Jesus as the true older brother who left heaven, sought us in our lostness, and paid the price to bring us home. No matter who you are or where you’ve been, there is room for you in the Kingdom of God.

Stillness | The Secret Place

After seven weeks on sabbatical, Pastor Josh returns to share lessons from the life of Elijah in 1 Kings 19. Following the dramatic victory on Mount Carmel, Elijah flees in fear, collapses under a broom tree, and encounters God—not in wind, earthquake, or fire, but in a gentle whisper. This message explores how God meets us in exhaustion, ministers with compassion, and reminds us that the journey is too great for us alone. If you’re weary or longing to hear God’s voice, this sermon is an invitation to be still and listen for His whisper.
