We often use the word helper to describe someone who is well-meaning but not that powerful, like the sidekick to a superhero. But when Jesus told His disciples in John 16:7 that He was sending a helper, He was promising someone so much more than a sidekick! The Holy Spirit is the very fullness of God—fully powerful, fully wise, fully loving. The Holy Spirit is God, and just as Jesus promised, the Holy Spirit is with us! In this series, we’ll see the Holy Spirit work through Paul, move in prison-breaking power, help us pray, and unite the church. The Holy Spirit isn’t merely a sidekick; He is God, our helper!

Throughout the arc of God’s big story, we see God at work executing a rescue plan to bring His people from slavery to freedom, death to life. During the Easter season, we remember that God’s own Son, Jesus Christ, came once for all, offering the way into God’s presence by way of His life and His blood. In this five-lesson series, we’ll walk through what it looks like for God to show up, promise His presence, and make the way where there was none. We will connect the long journey of God’s people from slavery to freedom, from Moses and the Israelites in Egypt to the death and resurrection of Jesus. Jesus is alive, and because of Him, we can transition from slavery to freedom, from death to life—now those are connections worth celebrating!

Technology is everywhere—shaping the way our kids learn, connect, and experience the world. As parents and guardians, it can feel overwhelming to navigate the constant changes, new platforms, and screen-time debates while ensuring our children grow up with healthy digital habits.

When we study the life of Jesus, we see the way He interacted with others, cared for them, and spent His time with them. In this month's series, we will discover His power and compassion as He brings healing, witness His generous forgiveness, see that He wants us to remember His death, and realize that we can sit at His feet and simply spend time with Him. In a world that’s filled with distractions and disruptions, we can come to Jesus and simply walk with Him in relationship and be forever changed. Together, let’s discover that walking with Jesus isn’t following a specific set of rules or to-do lists; it is surrendering ourselves as we sit at His feet and worship our King.

For Christian parents, one of the earliest spiritual decisions they may encounter is whether to have their child baptized or dedicated. While both ceremonies are meaningful, they hold different theological significance and implications within the Christian faith. Understanding the differences can help parents make an informed decision that aligns with their beliefs and church traditions.

In the Gospel of John and the book of Revelation, Jesus makes statements about Himself that reveal who He is and what He came to do. These I AM statements reveal the nature of Jesus and His heart for people, helping us know Him more: “I am the bread of life” (John 6:35), “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6), “I am the vine” (John 15:5), and “I am the Alpha and Omega” (Revelation 21:6). In this series, we will discover that the I AMs are more than just statements; they help us know how we can respond to Jesus and know Him more deeply as our life-giver, our way to God, our source of abiding, our beginning and end.

Have you ever wondered how you can make a difference in the church? One of the most powerful ways to serve is by investing in the next generation—our kids! The Kids Ministry is more than just childcare; it’s a place where young hearts are shaped, faith is nurtured, and the love of Jesus is shared in a way that impacts a lifetime.

Who is Jesus? He is the exact likeness of God—the physical representation of God on earth. As a child and later as an adult, Jesus shows us what God is like. This series will help us understand Jesus and who He is. He is the Messiah, and God the Father speaks words of affirmation at His baptism. When Jesus is led into the wilderness and His humanity is put on display, He is tempted and does not sin. Through His first miracle, we see Jesus reveal to His followers that He is amazing. The more we know Him, the more we know God, and the more we are drawn to Him.
