From Series: "No Place Like Home"
Every family has a mess, and sooner or later, we all find ourselves somewhere we never expected to be. Joseph knew that feeling. Betrayed by his brothers, falsely accused, forgotten in prison, and far from home, his life looked nothing like the plan he imagined. Yet even when God’s plan didn’t seem to be working, God was. No Place Like Home is a sermon series through the life of Joseph. Together we’ll discover how to remain faithful when life isn’t fair, relationships are broken, and home feels far away. And we’ll find that no matter where we are, if God is with us, we are home.

Jake 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.
