May 25, 2025—You want to grow. You want to change. But willpower isn’t enough.This week, Duane unpacks the powerful truth in Romans 8—that real transformation happens when we stop relying on ourselves and start depending on the Spirit. If you’re stuck, tired, or unsure what to do next in your faith, this sermon is for you. Freedom starts when we stop striving and start walking with God.

True community isn’t just about attending church; it’s about being there for each other—sharing life, struggles, and victories together. This week, we’re diving into what it looks like when we live as a family, not just a group of people who meet on Sundays. It's about connection, support, and living the way Jesus showed us. Ready to be a part of something bigger?

What happens after we encounter God's grace? In this message, we’ll discover that it’s not just about what we’ve been saved from, but what we’ve been saved for. We’re called to step into our role as ambassadors of Heaven — bringing God’s message of reconciliation, hope, and transformation to the world.

Sometimes we’re so focused on what we think God should do that we miss what He’s already doing. In this message, we follow two disoriented disciples on the road to Emmaus and discover how a misunderstood mission can cause us to overlook the Messiah standing right in front of us. What if your disappointment is actually the beginning of a blessing you didn’t see coming?

This Easter, we’re following the journey of Jesus on the path that changed everything.

What if the road to the cross was really the way to life? From betrayal to sacrifice, from the grave to victory, Jesus walked a path that transformed history—and our future.

In a world obsessed with justice and getting what we deserve, Jesus flips the script. This Palm Sunday, Ayren unpacks the story of Barabbas and reminds us that we are the ones who were set free while Jesus took our place—because He made a way to the Father when we couldn’t make it ourselves.

As we begin The Way, our journey toward Easter Sunday, we step into the tension of sin’s weight and its consequences. Yet, even in the darkest moments, Jesus chose to walk this path for us, carrying the weight of our sin to the cross. If He was willing to take our place, what does that mean for the way forward?
