14th Sunday after Pentecost

September 14th, 2025

Sermon Series:

Comeback Season.

Finding Our Way Again.

This five-week series will carry us through the heart of September, right alongside our fall program kickoff. It’s designed to meet you where you are — whether you’re riding high or feeling a little lost, whether you’ve been here every Sunday or are wondering if you still belong.

From Pastor TJ’s sermon titled “Counting the Cost”.

“But here’s the paradox:

When you lose your life in Christ, you actually find it.

When you loosen your grip, your hands open wide enough to receive grace.

When you lay something down, God fills the empty space with resurrection.

– Pastor TJ Lynch
