The Disconnect: I Believe in God, But I Justify My Favorite Sin - October 11 2026 - Rev. Bob Solon
We believe in God. We believe His Word is true. But when His truth confronts the sin we don’t want to surrender, we start making excuses: “It’s not that bad. Everyone does it. God understands.”
In 1 Corinthians 5:1–8, Paul confronts a church that had become comfortable with what God called sin. Instead of repentance, there was tolerance. Instead of transformation, there was compromise.
Grace was never meant to give us permission to remain unchanged. Jesus didn’t save us so we could make peace with our sin—He came to set us free from it.
The question isn’t whether God will forgive what we surrender. The question is: What are we still refusing to surrender?
October is Pastor Appreciation Month—a special opportunity to say Thank You to those who faithfully serve, lead, encourage, and care for our church family.
We are incredibly grateful for Pastor Bob, Pastor Elissa, and Kaitlynn, our Student Ministries Director. Their dedication, prayer, leadership, and love for people make a difference in our church and community every day.
Throughout October, take a moment to encourage them, pray for them, send a note, or simply say “Thank You” for the many ways they serve. Let’s make sure they know how much they are appreciated!

The Disconnect: I Believe in God, But I Refuse to Forgive - October 4 2026 - Rev. Bob Solon
Forgiveness sounds easy—until someone truly hurts us. We keep score. We remember the wounds. We wonder how many chances one person deserves.
In Matthew 18:21–35, Peter asks Jesus a question we’ve all wrestled with: “How many times do I have to forgive?” Jesus responds with a story that exposes the enormous grace we’ve received from God—and the danger of refusing to extend that same grace to others.
We have been forgiven a debt we could never repay. Now Jesus calls us to release the debts we’re still holding against others.
Forgiven people are called to become forgiving people.

The Disconnect: I Believe in God, But I Worry All the Time - September 27 2026 - Rev. Bob Solon
We believe God is in control. We believe He hears our prayers. But when the future feels uncertain and the “what ifs” start piling up, worry can become louder than our faith.
Philippians 4:4–9 reminds us that God never intended for anxiety to control our lives. Instead, He calls us to bring everything to Him in prayer, guard our minds with truth, and trust Him with what we cannot control.
Worry asks, “What if?” Faith asks, “What if I trusted God with it?”
