What do a smart phone, a vehicle, and a computer have in common? They are things created to make our lives easier and manageable. They were created with that purpose in mind. Likewise, if we look around us, everything we see in creation has a purpose. God does not look at His creation and say “oops.” Everything has meaning. The same is true for humanity. Every human being has purpose in their hearts; God put it there (Ecc 3:11). We can’t escape or get around this. So, as followers of the Lord Jesus, how should we then live? Well, we live with purpose! In our passage today, the apostle Paul gives us some tools in having a purpose mindset.
A Purpose Mindset

Understanding Gratitude
November 20, 2022 • Pastor Brett Capaci • Psalm 73:1–5, Psalm 73:12
Thanksgiving is a time when we give thanks for the bountiful provision of the ultimate provider. It’s a season when we especially acknowledge how good God is. Additionally, Thanksgiving can be a great time to realign our priorities and our perspectives. In the Psalm that we examine this week, the writer, Asaph, seems to be doubting God’s goodness to him. He’s struggling with understanding what he should truly be grateful for. Yet, as we work our way through this 73rd Psalm, we begin to discover (along with Asaph) what true blessing really is and why we ought to be eternally grateful to God.
What Does the Bible Say About Hope?
November 13, 2022 • Pastor Rodney Julian • Romans 5:1–6, Romans 15:4–6
Pastor Rodney preaches a message on having a hopeful mindset. God’s love for us gives us hope in every season. In both the good and the bad times, we can rest assured that God is with us and for us.
A Mission Mindset
November 6, 2022 • Pastor Brett Capaci • John 9:1–11
As we continue in our “Mindset Series,” we examine what it looks like for us to have a mission mindset. The Scriptures say that Jesus came to earth on a mission: To seek out and to save all who were lost. This is the mission He has called us to as well: To love Him and to show and tell of His love to others.
