What if God's calling you right now, not despite your rough edges, but because of them? 🙏💙

This week Pastor Mike reveals how Jesus found Peter—not in a temple or on a spiritual retreat, but cleaning nets after a frustrating night of fishing. Just an ordinary fisherman with obvious flaws, yet Jesus saw a rock inside those rough edges and declared, "You shall be called Peter." This isn't about being qualified; it's about surrender. Jesus specializes in using inadequate people because when extraordinary things happen through ordinary lives, everyone knows God did it. Ready to discover what Jesus sees in you? Don't miss this transformative message—dive in now!

P.S. Huge congrats again to our four high school graduates—Lily, Kerry, Josh, and Chloe! We're so proud of you! 🎓✨

Have you ever wondered if people can truly change? 🤔

This Sunday, Pastor Kathy took us deep into Joseph's story—to a moment where his brothers faced the ultimate test. Years after betraying him, would they abandon another brother to save themselves? Or had their hearts truly transformed?

Here's what hit me: "Fear can make you act different for a moment. But only true transformation changes your heart." 💯
