💭 One Encounter Changes Everything💭

What if the chaos of your packed schedule is quietly pulling you away from the very One you're trying to serve? In Luke 10, two sisters welcome Jesus for dinner—no miracles, no crowds—yet this ordinary evening becomes one of Scripture's most transformative moments. Pastor Mike reveals how Martha's distraction mirrors our own exhausted, over-committed souls, and why Jesus tenderly calls us not to do more, but to *be* more present. If you've confused busyness with fruitfulness, this message is your invitation to reclaim what matters most. Don't miss it—sit at His feet and let Him restore your soul.

💭 God's Forgiveness Is Given and Required... 💭

This weekend Pastor Bob shared a powerful message about one of the hardest commands Jesus gives us: forgiving others the way God has forgiven us.

Here's the reality check: We've been forgiven a debt of $16.8 BILLION (seriously—that's the modern equivalent Jesus used in His parable). Yet we struggle to forgive someone who owes us $32,000 worth of hurt.

The math doesn't add up. But more importantly—unforgiveness doesn't just hurt them. It destroys US.

As Bob said: "Unforgiveness is based solely on pride and selfishness. When we hold onto it, we become like a dead shrub in an empty land—isolated, lonely, and blind to all the good things God places around us."

🔥 Breakfast on the Beach 🔥

Peter denied Jesus three times by a charcoal fire. Later, Jesus met him at another charcoal fire—not to shame him, but to restore him.

For every denial, Jesus asked: "Do you love me?" For every "yes," Jesus replied: "Feed my sheep."

Your failure is not final. Your shame is not yours to carry forever.

💬 Question for you: Have you ever felt too broken or ashamed to be used by God? How does Peter's story of restoration speak to you today?

🌊 QUESTION FOR YOU: Have you ever gotten into something that was over your head? 🚣‍♂️

This Sunday we looked at Peter walking on water with Jesus—and yeah, he started to sink. But here's what got me: Peter was the ONLY one who got out of the boat. The other 11 disciples? They just watched from the safety of their seats.

Pastor Mike reminded us: "The safest place in the world is wherever Jesus says 'come'—even if that's in the middle of a storm." 💨⛈️

So I'm curious...

What's YOUR boat?

The illusion of control?

Waiting for "perfect circumstances"?

Fear of what others think?

Financial security?

Comfort?

What storm has stolen your focus off Jesus lately?
