Psalm 40:3
Bring your real, unfiltered emotions to God—not just the pretty ones. Discover how the Psalms teach us to get brutally honest with God about our pain, disappointments, and doubts, because authentic worship starts with authenticity, not perfection. Learn the powerful pattern of honesty-then-hope that runs through Scripture: starting with "How long, Lord?" and ending with "Yet I will praise You." You can't sing a new song if you keep replaying old pain—join us as we explore how shifting your focus from fear to faith changes everything, not by ignoring your circumstances, but by remembering that God is still good, still present, and still writing your story.
Psalm 46:10
We often search for God in the quiet moments when He feels distant. This week, we'll discuss how to turn down life's noise and discover that silence isn't God's absence—it's His invitation to something deeper. We'll explore how the most authentic worship happens not in performance, but in honest, raw connection with God's Spirit. Discover how your greatest songs of faith are often born in seasons of struggle, when you choose to trust that God is still writing something beautiful in you, even when you can't see or feel it. Join us as we learn to hear God's whisper above the chaos and find hope that remains alive in every season.
1 Timothy 6:11-19
Our finances reveal where our hearts truly are, and God calls us to trust Him by giving generously. What does my giving say about where my heart is? What role does fear play in being generous financially?
Matthew 25:14-30
God gave us gifts to be used for His glory and the good of others, not to be buried or wasted. How am I using my God-given talents to serve others and glorify Him?
Galatians 6:1-10
Our time is one of the most valuable gifts we can give, and God calls us to steward it well. How am I using my time to serve God and others? How can I be expected to serve others when I don’t have any extra margin in my schedule?
2 Corinthians 9:6-15
God calls us to move beyond scarcity and live generously with our treasure, time, and talent. Where am I living with a scarcity mindset instead of trusting God’s abundance? What mental blocks do I have when it comes to generosity? Where have I seen this mishandled by a “church”?
(Ephesians 6:17b–20)The armor isn’t just for defense. God gives us the sword of the Spirit, His Word, and the power of prayer. With Scripture in our hearts and prayer on our lips, we’re equipped not just to endure but to advance. This final step activates us to live bold, Spirit-filled lives, interceding for others and proclaiming the hope of Jesus.
(Ephesians 6:16–17a)Flaming arrows of doubt, fear, and lies will come but faith is our shield. Salvation is our helmet, guarding our minds and reminding us who we are in Christ. With faith and salvation, we can stand against the enemy’s attacks and live with renewed courage, trust, and clarity in God’s promises.
(Ephesians 6:15)
Shoes prepare us to move, and the gospel of peace equips us to walk in confidence. This isn’t a passive peace, it’s an active stance that helps us gain ground even when life feels shaky. The peace of Christ steadies us within and sends us out to bring good news and reconciliation wherever we go.
(Ephesians 6:14)
A belt holds everything together, and God’s truth does the same in our lives. The belt of truth and breastplate of righteousness protect us from lies that twist our thinking and choices. When we live in the truth of God’s Word and allow His righteousness to guard our hearts, we stand secure in a world full of compromise.
(Ephesians 6:10–13)
Life is a spiritual battle, and too often we forget we’re in the fight. Paul reminds us that our struggle isn’t against people but against spiritual forces of darkness. The good news? God provides His strength and His armor so we can stand firm. In Christ, we don’t fight alone, we suit up daily with His power to resist the enemy and stay strong.
The mission doesn’t stop with us. Jesus commissions His followers to go, make disciples, and leave a lasting mark. Faith is never meant to stay still—it’s meant to multiply across generations.
Before Jesus began His ministry, He was baptized and immediately tested. Like Him, we must know who we are before we face the pressures of the world. Even when we wander like the lost sheep, coin, or son, God always invites us back to our identity in Him.
At twelve, Jesus stayed behind in the temple to be “about His Father’s business.” We grow when we take ownership of our faith—not just relying on our parents, mentors, or leaders, but pursuing God personally.
Jesus was dedicated in the temple by faithful parents and recognized by the faithful in the house of God. Home begins with people who bring us into community, into rhythms of worship, and into dependence on God's Word.
This week, we unpack the heart of discipleship — and why it's about way more than belief. It's about surrender, obedience, and transformation.
This week, you’ll meet an amazing team that’s become known for something special here at Buda—homemade breakfast. Every Sunday, between services, they show up early to prepare tacos, parfaits, bakes…you name it.
But what they’re really doing is feeding people in more ways than one. They’re offering more than a meal. They’re creating a space where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.
Their story reminds us that sometimes the simplest acts, like sharing food can open the door to deeper conversations, stronger community, and even life change.
This week, you’re going to hear from a team that’s been growing in more ways than one…our Check-In Team at Gateway North. What started as a Sunday team helping families get their kids checked in has become something so much more.
They’ve built a community. They serve together beyond Sundays, celebrate life milestones together, and truly embody the kind of unity we all long for. They reflect the diversity of our city, speak multiple languages, and bring a joy that makes everyone, especially new families feel right at home.
Their story reminds us that when you show up, stay consistent, and care for each other, something powerful happens. You become more than a team, you become a family.
(Busy & Overwhelmed) - We’re running on empty—pulled in a thousand directions. Jesus invites us to slow down, breathe, and find rest for our souls. He offers a lighter burden and a better rhythm for life.
(Meaning & Purpose) - We all want to live a life that matters. Jesus shows us that purpose isn’t something we chase—it’s something we embody. It’s found in loving God and loving people, right where we are.
