We start talking about how we can Travel Light in this whacky world! God has a plan and He’s made it very plain how to follow it. I’ll show you the first couple steps.
Key Verse: Exodus 33:15 Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.
You're exhausted from carrying it all. The worry, the pressure, the constant feeling that you're one mistake away from everything falling apart. Here's the truth: you were never meant to do life this way. Jesus said, "Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Not "try harder." Not "figure it out." Just... come.
"Traveling Light” is a series about what it actually looks like to experience the rest Jesus promised. We'll get practical about letting go of control, releasing worry, and discovering that peace isn't about getting your life perfect. It's about trusting the One who's with you in the mess. Whether you're curious about faith, burned out on trying to keep it all together, or somewhere in between, this series is an honest look at what changes when you stop carrying everything alone. Because Jesus didn't come to add more rules to your life. He came to lighten the load.

We wrap up our series, Unwrapping His Name, with the most important info you can have knowing what we know that Jesus will come back one day and set up His Kingdom. What is that question? How can you be prepared? Thankfully, Jesus tells us.
We Unwrap the Name Jesus was given of Everlasting Father! Why is He called our Dad? Is that even what it means? I’ve got so much I want to share to shed light on this one! C
Key Verse: John 1:1 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
We continue our Christmas focus on Unwrapping the Name of Jesus. This Sunday, we look at why He is called the “Mighty God” and why that is so important for us if we are going to trust Him with us.
Key Verse: John 9:39 Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”
This Christmas, we're unwrapping more than presents; we're unwrapping the nature of God Himself. For too long, we've settled for a reality with a very small God, living small lives with small dreams and even smaller expectations. But what if we really believed God is who He says He is? Join us as we unwrap four names from Isaiah's ancient prophecy. Discover the God who is big enough for your biggest problems, intimate enough to guide your daily decisions, and faithful enough to keep every promise. Because what God says will happen isn't just a hope - it's money in the bank. It's as real as the realest thing in your life. This Christmas, stop settling and start believing: It WILL happen.
Key Verse: Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Key Verse: John 6:12-13 After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.” 13 So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.
Key Verse: Philippians 1:6, 6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
We continue to Dream about where God is leading us; it’s far Beyond where we could have imagined and will require us to Improvise, Adapt and with His strength Overcome!
The climb has begun, and we’ve already scaled heights we once thought impossible. But this journey into the Beyond isn’t over yet.
We’re only three-quarters of the way through year one of the Beyond Initiative, and now is the moment to re-anchor our faith, tighten our grip, and keep climbing.
Anyone who’s ever gone through a challenge knows the start is exciting. It’s when the path gets steep, you're tired and the next step feels just out of reach that you find out what you’re really made of. That’s when you dig deep, trust your potential, and refuse to give up.
That’s where we are right now. And we’re not backing down.
This is our moment, and we are Pushing into the Beyond. To stretch further, give sacrificially, and trust God like never before.
Whether you’ve been part of this climb from the beginning or you’re just now grabbing hold of the vision, there’s still time to join in. Let’s recommit. Let’s re-engage. Let’s go beyond what we thought was possible.
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.
Keep climbing and finish strong.
We get the Apostle Paul’s final message on how to truly live: Set Free to Live Free. It’s powerful and life changing.
Paul reminds believers that true freedom is found in living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit rather than being ruled by sinful desires. Being free to be Spirit-led means walking in step with God’s Spirit, allowing Him to shape our choices and character. This Spirit-led life naturally produces the fruit of the Spirit. Instead of striving through human effort, we live out our faith as transformed people, reflecting Christ and living in absolute freedom in Him day by day.
We’ve been talking a lot about living in the Freedom we have through Jesus, but what does that actually look like? How do we live freely well? Paul point us in the right direction.
Key Verse: John 13:35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”
Reality has a way of sucking the life out of our dreams, but that is not the life God wants for you. He wants you Set Free To Live Free, and this week, the Apostle Paul is going to make that point very clear for each of us. We have a new reality!
'Key Verse: Galatians 4:12 Dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to live as I do in freedom from these things, for I have become like you Gentiles—free from those laws.
Why are there so many rules in the Bible? I thought God was a God of love. Shouldn’t life just be about loving people? Are the rules necessary? The Apostle Paul has the answers for you as he teaches us that we are Set Free to Live Free.
Key Verse: Galatians 3:28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
God wants us Set Free so we can Live Free, but so much of the baggage we bring with us keeps us from experiencing this true freedom. We learn a bit more of what this freedom Jesus offers looks like.
Key Verse: Galatians 3:14 Through Christ Jesus, God has blessed the Gentiles with the same blessing he promised to Abraham, so that we who are believers might receive the promised Holy Spirit through faith.
This Sunday, things get exciting with the Apostle Paul fighting for his spiritual kids! He shows us exactly how far he's willing to go to uncover and share the truth about Jesus and what Jesus means to each of us.
Key Verse: Galatians 2:20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
We continue to discover the true freedom God offer us believing that we were Set Free to Live Free. This week, we’ll learn why we can trust what God is telling us through the Apostle Paul.
Key Verse: Galatians 1:11-12 Dear brothers and sisters, I want you to understand that the gospel message I preach is not based on mere human reasoning. I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.
What if real freedom is better than you imagined?
We all know the pressure of trying to meet expectations, juggle responsibilities, and keep up appearances. It’s exhausting. What if the freedom you’re searching for isn’t about surrendering all the rules, but discovering the kind of freedom that actually gives you life?
Jesus offers freedom that lifts the weight, not adds to it. Not the “figure-it-all-out-yourself” kind of freedom, but one that grounds you in grace, fills you with peace, and leads you to the truly good life. Over nine weeks in Galatians, we’ll discover how Jesus sets us free. Not just from sin, but from the pressure to perform. We’ll uncover why false freedom always lets us down, how rule-following can hold us back, what it means to be adopted into God’s family, and how love and faith can lead us into a surprising, joyful way of living. Ready for that sigh of relief you’ve been waiting for?
Key Verse: Galatians 1:6 I am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God, who called you to himself through the loving mercy of Christ.
We wrap up our "Life with God" series with an incredible couple who have so much in common with each of us, Through their story, we can be inspired to change the world like they did.
Key Verse: Romans 16:3 Give my greetings to Priscilla and Aquila, my co-workers in the ministry of Christ Jesu
