  • #537 From Paper to Purpose - God gets the Glory
    Nov 3 2025
    This week, we conclude our 'From Paper to Purpose' series with a vital reminder: God gets the glory. In 1 Corinthians 3, Paul addresses a divided church that had begun to glorify people instead of God. Some followed Paul, others Apollos, but Paul brings everyone back to the truth: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.” As we live out our shared purpose and values, we marvel at what God accomplishes and find joy in serving together, not for our own recognition, but so that Jesus receives all the glory.

  • #536 From Paper to Purpose - Shared Values - Valuing People
    Oct 28 2025
    So many people come to faith communities carrying pain, exhaustion, or disillusionment from performance-based religion. This week, we return to the beginning — Genesis 1— to rediscover what God says about human worth. Before He gave humanity a task, He gave us identity. You are created in the image of God — valued and blessed before you ever “do” anything. Join us this Sunday as we explore how to build a community that values people not only for productivity, but foremost, for the divine image they bear.

  • #535 From Paper to Purpose - Shared Values - Strong, Joyful, Resilient Teams
    Oct 20 2025

    This Week, we’re exploring what it means to serve with strength, joy, and resilience — and how to actually do it. 1 Thessalonians 5 reminds us to stay awake, steady, prayerful, and grateful — habits that build teams that are strong, joyful, resilient, and fully reliant on the strength of Jesus.

  • #534 From Paper to Purpose - Team of Teams
    Oct 13 2025

    Words like diversity, equity, and inclusion are terms we’ve heard frequently in recent times. However, I think when you take a closer look, those words are often more about demands, compliance and conformity than anything else. This week, we’re talking about what diversity looks like in our church context and how diversity (not conformity) makes us stronger, and how each person’s contribution matters. -PC

  • #533 From Paper to Purpose - Building People
    Oct 6 2025
    This week, we're back to in-person recording and continuing our 'From Paper to Purpose' series with a timely reminder: We don’t just build ministries — we build people. Ministries are tools. People are eternal. God’s design is not just about filling schedules, but about transforming lives — investing in clarity, care, and spiritual confidence.

  • #532 - From Paper to Purpose - Making Room.
    Sep 29 2025

    Some have been given the false impression that church is about conformity; in reality, it’s about harmony. This week we’re in Romans 15:1–7, learning how spiritually strong people carry the weak, how Jesus welcomed us first (at great cost), and how a culture of grace creates harmony, not uniformity. If you’ve been hurt by “fit in or get out,” listen in and hear why the gospel says, ‘Welcome, let Jesus do the forming.’ We’re making room for you.

  • #531 Crossroads of Contention - Moving Forward in the Wake of the Charlie Kirk Assassination
    Sep 22 2025

    After a week of raw headlines, strong opinions, and not knowing who or what to believe, many of us find ourselves standing at a crossroads. This week, we walk through Romans 12:9-21 and learn how to love without pretence, bless instead of curse, and overcome evil with good. If you’re looking for a Christ-shaped way to process grief, anger, and division—and to live it out—listen in.

  • #530 From Paper to Purpose - Purpose, Not Compulsion
    Sep 15 2025
    This Father’s Day, we’re looking at what it means to live with purpose—not pressure. Our shared value this week: “We are motivated by purpose, not compulsion.” Serving out of guilt, fear, or manipulation drains you physically, mentally and spiritually. When we are motivated by our God-given purpose, we find the strength to persevere and the courage to say a firm “no” to compulsion.
