Speaker: Joel Mason

We are reminded that in times of tragedy and division, our hope is in Jesus, and by surrendering to God’s Word—sweeter than honey—we live out our faith through prayer, worship, love, and daily obedience.

The message emphasizes that worship must overflow into prayer, teaching us to continually seek God’s presence and align our hearts with His will rather than trying to bend Him to ours.

The message emphasizes that we are all created to worship, and true worship of God—not substitutes like sports, politics, or self—shapes our love for others, brings joy and healing, and calls us to live every part of life as an expression of gratitude and devotion to Him.

Pastors Joel and René Mason spent three weeks in Europe visiting and encouraging our supported missionaries and extended church family in Romania, Germany, and Belgium, learning about their ministries, sharing in their lives, and returning inspired to pray for and support their work even more deeply.

Our faith in Jesus should move beyond belief into action, shaping every part of our lives through a personal relationship with God and lived out in community as the church.

God has planted eternity in our hearts, and through Jesus’ sacrifice we’re invited to live with purpose and hope in every season—knowing that our ultimate future is to be with Him forever.

Stewardship means recognizing that everything we have belongs to God and using it faithfully—not out of fear or obligation, but as a joyful response to His goodness—so we can know Him more deeply and reflect His love to the world.

We are called to reflect Jesus by showing compassion to others, beginning within the church and extending to our neighbors, not just through words but through active, selfless love that sees and responds to real needs.

We’re continuing our “Life Unlocked” series by exploring how God sees humanity through the lens of John 3:16, emphasizing that His personal and transformative love for each individual should empower us to love ourselves and others, ultimately changing how we interact with the world and lead others to Him.
