As the opening message in the Kaleidoscope series, this sermon begins at the wedding in Cana, where Jesus performs His first public sign by turning water into wine, revealing not just His power but His purpose. By using ceremonial jars meant for religious purification, Jesus signals a new reality—one where relationship replaces ritual, and joy replaces obligation. This sign points beyond the miracle itself, showing that Jesus didn’t come to patch up religion, but to usher in something entirely new. The story invites us to trust Jesus enough to “do whatever He tells you,” even when it feels uncomfortable or costly, and to bring Him the places marked by shame, lack, or disappointment. In exchange, Jesus offers joy, abundance, and transformation—reminding us that life with Him is not about religious performance, but about receiving the new life He freely gives.
Wednesday night community is back! Join us for My Weird Bible, 11 weeks on the passages that finally make sense. My Weird Bible will explore some of the strangest, most confusing, and often misunderstood passages in Scripture. By digging into the historical, cultural, and biblical context behind these stories, the series helps make sense of what can feel weird or unsettling—and shows how even the most unusual parts of the Bible reveal God’s character and invite us into deeper faith.
Grounded in Paul’s bold prayer in Ephesians 3, this message paints a compelling vision of the life God desires for His people. It begins with posture—Paul kneeling before the Father—and reminds us that what we bow to shapes what has power over us. In a culture filled with competing allegiances, the call is to humble ourselves before God as the starting point for spiritual transformation. The prayer unfolds in four movements—strength, love, knowledge, and fullness—each revealing both God’s invitation and the shadows that often hold us back. God offers strength in our weakness, love that overcomes fear, knowledge that moves beyond information into lived experience, and fullness that replaces spiritual emptiness with His presence. The message invites us to unearth buried dreams, surrender self-reliance, and trust God to do what is impossible on our own, believing that when we come before Him with humility and faith, He fills us with everything we need to live out His calling.

Bold prayer isn’t reserved for perfect faith or polished words—it’s an honest response to real life. Rooted in James 5, this message reminds us that prayer is meant to be our first response in every season: trouble, joy, sickness, confession, and waiting. God works through ordinary people who come to Him with humility, trust, and expectation, believing that prayer truly is powerful and effective.
Prayer isn’t meant to be passive or theoretical—it’s meant to work. Rooted in James 5, the focus is on how authentic faith produces action, and authentic prayer produces real impact in our lives and in the world around us. Scripture presents prayer as powerful and effective, not because of who we are, but because of who God is and how He invites us to participate in His work. The passage highlights the everyday moments when prayer matters most—when we’re suffering, when life is good, when we’re sick, and when we’ve sinned—revealing prayer and praise as the natural rhythms of a life anchored in God. By pointing to Elijah as an example, James makes it clear that the power of prayer isn’t reserved for spiritual elites, but for ordinary people who trust an extraordinary God. The invitation is simple but bold: believe that prayer truly works, and step into it with honesty, faith, and expectation.
