From Series: "Sunburnt"

You know how it goes. You're out in the sun – laughing, living, not thinking about anything except how good the day is. And then you go inside, and the pain hits. You didn't feel it happening. You were having too good a time. But the sun was doing its work the whole time. Some of life's hardest seasons are exactly like that. Things were fine. And then you went inside. And suddenly you couldn't ignore what the heat had already done. This summer we're walking through the book of Ruth – the story of a woman who got burned by life and had to figure out what to do with the damage. If you've ever been blindsided by something you didn't see coming, this is for you. Because here's the thing about a sunburn: you don't heal it by going back outside. Healing finds you when you're finally covered up.

Jacob Timmer - February 15, 2026

Frozen Between Two Worlds

Mr. Jacob Timmer talks about how God is merciful enough to rescue us from the places we’ve drifted to, but rescue requires letting go of what’s behind us, from Genesis 19:15–29, including:
1) God has a Father’s heart; He rescues us even when we resist (Gen. 19:15–16),
2) Lot wanted influence without holiness (Genesis 19:1),
3) What we refuse to release will destroy us (Gen. 19:23–29), and
4) The things that keep us lingering will all fail us (Luke 17:28–33).

From Series: "Don’t Look Back"

We all know what it’s like to look back — back at old habits that feel familiar, ack at patterns we thought we left behind, back at a version of life that feels easier — even when we know it isn’t better. This series walks through the story of Lot and Sodom to show how no one drifts away from God overnight. It happens slowly, through small compromises that quietly shape the direction of our lives. Along the way, we’ll encounter a God who listens before He judges, a warning about living between two worlds, and a mercy that reaches for us even when we’re tempted to turn back. If you’ve ever felt torn between where God is leading and what you’re leaving behind, you’re not alone. The direction you choose today shapes the life you live tomorrow.
