New Sermon Series Starting in January

Main Campus & West Campus

The New Year usually begins with urgency: new goals, new habits, high expectations. Even in the church, we often treat the New Year like a spiritual CrossFit class – move faster, do more, work harder, fix what’s broken. And remember, do it quickly! The invitation of scripture is diHerent. In fact, Jesus never seems to be in a hurry.

This January, we’re beginning the year with a Slow Start, not because we lack ambition or purpose, but because we trust that God’s grace sets a different pace than we find in modern culture. Over four weeks, we’ll explore how rest is not an escape from life but a way of entering more deeply into it. We’ll listen for Jesus’ invitation to the weary, discover how God restores our souls, learn how slowing down makes room for relationships, and embrace the pace of grace that forms us over time.

This series itself is an invitation – not to do more – but to receive more: more grace, more healing, more connection, and more trust in the God who hopes not that we’ll hurry but that we’ll abide in him.
