New Direction Christian Community Church

In a culture that demands a curated, perfect lifestyle, our church wants to be a place where you can show up with your mess. Jesus rejected spectacular stunts. He chose authentic, quiet obedience instead.

Tag your core circle—the people you can be completely honest with.

When Jesus was starving, the first temptation was simple: 'Turn these stones into bread.' When we are empty, we are highly susceptible to shortcuts that feel good now but starve our souls later.

Today, we are pausing the regular schedule to celebrate the man who leads, feeds, and pours into our church family week after week.

Pastor, thank you for your vision, your integrity, and your heart for our community. Especially in this season as we walk through our I'm Running on Empty series, thank you for showing us what it looks like to lean on God's strength and lead with authentic grace.

We pray that today your tank is completely filled with joy, rest, and blessing! ❤️

When we run on empty, it's easy to reach for quick fixes to numb the exhaustion instead of getting true rest. Let’s expose the shortcuts today so we can chase real peace this weekend.
