Scripture: John 11:1, 3, 20-22 Have you ever felt like God’s ignoring you, your voice, your calendar? You prayed, you waited, you believed…and still, nothing makes sense. Well, if you’ve ever wondered what God is doing, or if He’s doing anything at all, you’re not alone. Blessed Are the Baffled is a 3-week sermon series for the spiritually confused, the faithfully frustrated, and anyone who’s ever whispered, “God… what are You doing?” We pray with hope, but the heavens feel quiet. We seek answers, but life hands us riddles. We cry out for relief and get more waiting. In this series, Pastor Jack invites us into the sacred space of confusion, not to fix it, but to name it, feel it, and find God in the fog. Because maybe being baffled isn’t a failure of faith, maybe it’s the birthplace of deeper trust, unexpected grace, and a God who’s still good even when He doesn’t make sense.

Scripture: Isaiah 38:17 “Your Sin is Behind You and Behind God” – powerfully illustrates that sin—originally an archery term meaning “to miss the mark”—reveals our human tendency to fall short of God’s perfection. Yet through Jesus Christ, the price for our sin has been fully paid. From Hezekiah’s healing and David’s repentance to Jeremiah’s promise and Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice, Scripture shows a consistent pattern of divine forgiveness: God not only removes our transgressions but chooses to remember them no more. Just as He puts our sins behind Him, we too are called to release our guilt and forgive others, living in the freedom and faithfulness of His grace.

Scripture: 1 John 2:15-17 (ESV) What if the problem in life isn’t your circumstances, but it’s your lens? We live in a world that constantly tells us what to chase, what to fear, and what to value. But God invites us to see differently, to lift our eyes from the temporary to the eternal, from the noise of culture to the clarity of truth. To achieve this, we must understand that a transformed life begins with a changed perspective.  Because when your perspective shifts to living with an eternal perspective, you’re not captivated by the world’s values but by God’s truth, all by Changing Our Perspective.

Scripture: Hebrews 12:14-15 Let’s be honest: it doesn’t take much to get under our skin these days. A snarky comment online, a headline that hits too close to home, or someone cutting you off in traffic—it’s like the world is handing out free offenses. But what if we didn’t take the bait? What if, instead of reacting, we responded with something unexpected—grace, patience, even love? The Other Cheek is all about that choice. It’s not about being passive or pretending things don’t hurt. It’s about learning a better way to deal with conflict, one that reflects the heart of Jesus and leads to real peace.

  Ever feel like life is moving so fast you can barely catch your breath, let alone focus on God? You’re not alone. Between phones that talk to us, schedules packed with karate classes and Bible studies, and the constant ding of notifications, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters. From silent movies to smart devices, distractions have evolved, but the struggle to stay spiritually focused is timeless. This week’s message, Focus, Focus, Focus, dives into the everyday chaos and asks: What’s pulling our eyes off Jesus? So, let’s explore how to reclaim our attention, refocus our hearts, and fix our eyes on the One who never loses sight of us.

Have you ever looked back and realized that God was working in your life—not just in the big moments, but in the quiet, ordinary ones? This message explores how God moves in the “while” and the “where”—in the middle of our routines, relocations, and even our frustrations. The Bible shows us that divine timing isn’t always dramatic, but it’s always intentional. So, what if right now, right where you are, is exactly where God wants to begin something new, and one day someone will share your story and how God moved, While They Were There.

Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:6-8 Let’s be honest, nobody wakes up one morning and says, “I think I’ll drift away from God today.” But life has a way of sneaking up on us. One moment we’re doing fine, and the next we’re knee- deep in relationship drama, stuck in habits we swore we’d break, and wondering why God feels so far away. We look around and ask, “How did I end up here?” It’s easier than we think, especially when our focus shifts from what we do have to everything we don’t. That’s when the slow burn of discontentment starts. We get frustrated, bitter, maybe even a little cynical. In other words, we get disgruntled.  But in scripture, we are reminded that “godliness with contentment is great gain.” That’s not just a nice idea, it’s a lifeline. In this message, Be Disgruntled, we’re going to talk about how to spot that drift before it takes over, and how to anchor our hearts in something far more solid than circumstances.

Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-7 (NKJV) What’s in a word? Words are more than letters slapped together; they define a concept and action, feeling, or emotion, and open up whole new worlds and experiences. Did you know the Bible doesn’t just use one word for praise, but it uses 7 different Hebrew ones, each packed with its own layers of meaning? Meanwhile, in English, we’ve got… well, just “praise.” That’s like showing up to a paint party with only one color in your kit; everything starts looking the same.
