Women's Bible Studies Begin Again!
The Word + Prayer + Fellowship We are greatly anticipating this return to bible study groups this August. There really is nothing like opening the Word with a group of people to allow the Spirit to teach us who this God is that we serve, to allow the Spirit to act and move in our lives and to call us out of sin and into the abundant lives he desires us to live! “All human books grow stale after a time–but with the Word of God the desire to study it increases, while the more you know of it the less you think you know. The Book grows upon you: as you dive into its depths you have a fuller perception of the infinity which remains to be explored. You are still sighing to enjoy more of that which it is your bliss to taste.” -Spurgeon Sign up for one of our studies today!Tuesday Night Bible StudyThursday Morning Bible Study Save the Date: GATHER- Fall Women’s Event- September 19, 2026

Wrestling with Salvation
In our recent podcast discussion, Blake and I tackled some of the more profound questions about salvation that were submitted during our Ask Anything Sunday. We explored the nature of God's grace, the meaning of election, and what it truly means to have saving faith. These aren't just theological concepts to debate—they're foundational truths that shape how we understand our relationship with God and our calling as His people. Just as Blake once pulled his nephew from the bottom of a pool, God has rescued us from certain spiritual death through no merit of our own. This truth reminds us that salvation is entirely God's gracious work, and that reality should fill us with both humility and joy. Key takeaways from this episode: Salvation is a gift, not a reward. Whether someone follows Jesus for decades or turns to Him in their final breath, salvation is received the same way—through God's grace alone. Like the thief on the cross, we can do nothing to earn it. The real miracle isn't that only certain sinners are allowed into heaven; it's that any sinners are allowed in at all. Being "elect" means both rescued and commissioned. God's choosing of us isn't just about being saved from something—it's about being called to something. We are elected not only for salvation but for a vocation: to be witnesses to Jesus, to proclaim His excellencies, and to be a light to the world around us. Saving faith produces fruit. True faith involves knowledge of who Jesus is, assent that His way is the only way, and trust that places our full weight on Him. This faith naturally produces the fruit of the Spirit—including joy, peace, and love—as we abide in Christ and allow Him to work through us. I encourage you to reflect on these truths this week. Are there areas where you've been trying to earn God's favor rather than resting in His grace? How are you living out your calling as one of God's elect people? What fruit is evident in your life as you abide in Christ? If you have questions or want to explore these topics further, please don't hesitate to reach out. God loves when we spend time navigating through some of these topics, and we're here to walk alongside you in that journey. Grace and peace, Jason FischerListen To Podcast Episode

In Daniel 10, Daniel wrestles with unanswered questions, delayed answers to prayer, and the unseen spiritual realities at work behind the events of this world. His experience reminds us that even when we can't see what God is doing, He is still at work. In this message, we explore how Daniel responded with humility, perseverance, trust, and how his example encourages us to remain faithful when life doesn't make sense.

Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're learning how to pray, Daniel's example encourages us to seek the Lord with humble hearts and unwavering hope.

In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego face an impossible choice: bow before the king's golden image or be thrown into a blazing furnace. Their courage reminds us that true faith isn't measured by whether God rescues us from every trial, but by our willingness to trust Him no matter the outcome. And in one of the most powerful moments in Scripture, God reveals that He doesn't simply deliver His people from the fire—He joins them in it. This message explores how believers can stand firm in a culture of compromise, endure suffering with confidence, and live with the hope that God is always present, even in life's fiercest flames.
