No matter how far you’ve fallen, Gods love reaches farther.

The book of Hosea reminds us that sin doesn’t just break Gods law-it breaks his heart. Yet even in our wandering, God never stops pursuing, rescuing, and redeeming His people.

“Then I will heal you of your faithfulness; my love will know no bounds…” — Hosea 14:4

There is hope, healing, and grace waiting for you. 🤍

🚨Due to technical difficulties, we will not be able to livestream services today. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Daniel 10 reminds us that prayer is powerful—not because the answer is always what we expect, but because God is always listening and always working. Daniel prayed, and while the answer wasn’t immediate, heaven was already moving on his behalf. What a reminder to keep bringing our hearts, hopes, and requests before God. Don’t stop praying because you’re unsure of the answer. Keep praying because God cares, because He hears, and because He often wants to do more than we could ever ask or imagine.

This Sunday, we witnessed that truth through baptisms.

Angel shared how he walked away from his faith and turned to drugs and alcohol, spending years in and out of rehab. But God awakened something new in him—a desire for healing, freedom, and a future. This time, Angel chose recovery. He chose church. Most importantly, he chose Jesus. His baptism is a declaration that God is still in the business of restoring lives and bringing hope where it once seemed impossible.

Serenity shared how, despite growing up in church, she found herself struggling deeply and feeling exhausted by life. In the middle of that season, she prayed and asked God for a sign to keep going. God answered through the encouragement of friends and a renewed sense of purpose.

What a beautiful reminder that when we pray, God moves. Sometimes in ways we expect. Often in ways we don’t. But always in ways that reveal His love, grace, and faithfulness.

Hey FCC! We gathered Sunday for a beautiful family dedication, communion, and a reminder of the Kingdom we are stepping into

Ezekiel 2:5 - “And whether they will listen or fail to listen - they will know that a prophet has been among them.”

A reminder to our personal responsibility; that our calling is faithfulness, not outcome.
As we took communion, we remembered Christ’s sacrifice for us, and the call to take up our cross daily and follow Him with obedience and courage.

Lamentations and Jeremiah remind us that pain is never proof of God’s absence — it’s often the very place He speaks the loudest. In the middle of grief, waiting, disappointment, and uncertainty, God still shows up. He still understands. He still stays faithful.

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord…” — Jeremiah 29:11

But the promise doesn’t stop there. The solution continues in Jeremiah 29:12:“Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.”

God’s faithfulness is an invitation. An invitation to seek Him, trust Him, and believe that even the hardest tests can become testimonies. While you’re still in the middle of the process, have faith — because God will be found, He never stops loving, and He is near in every painful place.

Yesterday was such a powerful Sunday! 

We were reminded through Isaiah 40 that even when
we are tired, weary, worried, or feel forgotten, God never loses strength and never forgets His people. When we place our hope in Him, He renews us, lifts us up, and gives us strength to keep going. 

“...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles...” — Isaiah 40:31 

We also celebrated baptisms, including Steve’s incredible story. Steve has walked through guilt, shame, depression, and fear, but God has completely transformed his life. Jesus has given him new life, new hope, and a future he never imagined possible. Yesterday, Steve boldly proclaimed his faith in Jesus and his desire to live fully for Christ!  
What a beautiful reminder that God still changes lives.
