God's message in Daniel 8 is clear: no matter what the world looks like, everything is going to be okay because He wins in the end. This Sunday, Pastor Jon Akin walked us through this passage with a reminder that it should shape how we live in the present. Scripture doesn’t call us to be doomsday preppers; it calls us to live by the Word, love the church, achieve faithfully in our work, and bow to the true King whose Kingdom lasts forever!
When we trust that God is in control, our faith can impact others for good. This Sunday, Pastor Jon Akin led us through Daniel 2, where Daniel’s faith stands in contrast to a fearful world.

This Sunday, Pastor Will Graham talks about the deep, life-changing questions Pilate asked Jesus, all funelling down to “What is truth?” (John 18:38). Draws from the powerful messages in John 1:14 and John 14:6, he reminds us that even when we struggle, Jesus is the answer we are looking for as the embodiment of Truth. Let us ground ourselves in Him and His teachings, passionately following Jesus, who is the ultimate truth and life!
In this message from Matthew 14:22-33, Dr. Hayes Wicker reminds us that, as Christians, when we go through hardships, we can choose to see them as chances to understand what Jesus is all about.

Listen and leave encouraged to trust Jesus in every trial and discover the good benefits He brings through hard times!
