Today, we began a new teaching series in Nehemiah 1. When God moves in the world, especially to restore his people, he doesn’t begin with blueprints, he begins with burden. Nehemiah hears that Jerusalem is in “great trouble and shame,” and instead of rushing into strategy he weeps and prays. He shows us that a holy burden should lead to reverence, repentance, and requests before action. In what ways has God burdened you? Begin with prayer before you ever move to action. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening!

Today we finished our "Learn to Listen" series by studying Hebrews 6:4-12. Pastor Michael taught us that the author of Hebrews is saying "true faith endures to the end." And endurance looks like bearing fruit, which includes loving and serving others, as well as looking forward to the promised Life we will receive in eternity. Endurance grows in community, so let's lean in together and endure to the end. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening.

Today, we studied Hebrews 5:1–6:3 to learn that real listening always leads to real living. The author warns that spiritual dullness doesn’t come from ignorance, but from hearing truth without responding to it. He reminds us that Jesus, our perfect High Priest, obeyed fully in our place so we could be forgiven and changed. Because of the gospel, obedience isn’t a way to earn God’s love, but a response to it, as the Holy Spirit carries us forward into maturity one step at a time. We hope this message encourages and challenges you. Thanks for listening!
