Paul shows that a life shaped by God’s mercy is never meant to be lived alone. In Romans 12:3–8, he moves from personal worship to shared community, calling believers into humble belonging within the Body of Christ. The Gospel reshapes how we see ourselves — guarding us from pride and despair — and anchors us in mutual dependence on one another. From that belonging flows faithful service, as each believer uses God-given gifts to strengthen the church. These gifts are not for comparison or recognition, but for building others up in love. This message invites us to reflect on where we are stepping into deeper community and faithfully serving with what God has given us.

As we resume our Romans series, we enter the final section of Paul’s letter — A New Way of Life. In Romans 12:1–8, Paul shifts from unfolding the mercies of God to showing how those mercies are meant to shape everyday Christian living. This passage calls believers to offer their whole lives to God as living sacrifices — not from guilt or pressure, but as a fitting response to the Gospel. In this first message, we focus on Whole-Life Worship in View of God’s Mercy, exploring how worship shapes every part of life, not just our Sundays. Paul also shows how renewed minds are formed as we offer ourselves to God and grow in discernment through His Word and His people. This message invites us to consider what it looks like to live lives truly shaped by mercy.

What would need to change for you to finally feel content?
In Part 2 of From Covetousness to Contentment, we turn from exposing disordered desire to cultivating a deeper satisfaction in Christ.
Writing from prison, Paul reveals that contentment is learned, tested in both plenty and want, and grounded in Christ alone.
True contentment is not self-sufficiency, but Christ-sufficiency.
Even when circumstances don’t change, the source of peace can.
This sermon from Philippians 4:10–13 invites us to find “enough” by clinging to the One who is enough.

The holidays are over, the decorations are down, and the longing for “more” quietly returns.
In this sermon from Exodus 20:17, we confront the Tenth Commandment and the subtle, dangerous sin of covetousness.
Coveting is a disordered desire that begins in the heart, shapes our relationships, and reveals our discontentment with God.
The Law exposes our broken cisterns and leaves us undone—but it also leads us to Christ.
Only Jesus, the Spring of Living Water, can truly satisfy our restless hearts.
This is Part 1 of a two-part series: From Covetousness to Contentment – Finding “Enough” in a World of More.

As a new year begins, we’re surrounded by pressure to become a “better version” of ourselves. In this message from 2 Corinthians 5:17, we’re reminded that the gospel offers something far deeper than self-improvement: a new identity in Christ. Being a new creation is not something we achieve through effort, discipline, or resolutions—it is a work God has already done. The same God who raised Jesus from the dead has decisively made us new, even when we don’t yet feel it. From this secure identity flows real change, obedience, and growth—not driven by pressure, but by grace. Join us as we reflect on what it means to live this year from who we already are in Christ: Same God. New you.
