When life gets hard, when your faith feels weak, and when the darkness seems overwhelming, remember this:
Jesus Christ is able to save completely, not only because He died for you, but because He lives and is forever interceding for you.
“He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to intercede for them.” Hebrews 7:25
Because He lives, you can draw near to God with confidence.

God’s presence is worth pursuing because God alone preserves our access.

Join us this Sunday for Light, Blood and Prayer as we continue our journey through Exodus (27:20–30:10).
As God gives further instructions for the tabernacle, the focus shifts from the building itself to the ongoing rhythms of worship, perpetual light, consecrated priests, and the altar of incense. Together, these reveal how a holy God made a way for His people to live in relationship with Him, ultimately pointing us to Jesus Christ, our eternal High Priest and Intercessor.
We’d love to worship with you this Sunday.

The gospel doesn’t begin with our sacrifice, it begins with God’s grace.
He comes near. His presence transforms us. And as our hearts change, our hands loosen, making us willing to say “yes” even when obedience costs us.
The question isn’t whether following Jesus will cost something. The question is whether anything we hold onto is worth more than His presence.
Like Moses said, “If You don’t go with us, we don’t want to go.” May that be our prayer too—a willing yes, trusting that wherever God leads, He is worth it.
