Upcoming Events
This Week’s Sermon

“You Don’t Get to Read Ahead”
Esther 4

Most of us would love to flip to the last page before we commit to anything. Just show me how it turns out, and then I’ll decide. But life doesn’t work that way, and neither does following Jesus. In Esther 4, a young queen gets a message from outside the palace gate that changes everything. She can stay quiet and stay safe, or she can risk her life for her people without any guarantee of how it ends. This Sunday at Church Story, we’ll look at what Esther did with a chapter she never would have written for herself, and why “for such a time as this” is more of an invitation than pressure. If you’ve been waiting on God to show you the whole plan before you take the next step, this one is for you.

Watch last week’s message, Is Comfort Killing Your Faith, by Wes Jackson, from Esther 1-3. 👇

Most of us work hard to build lives that are safe, predictable, and free from unnecessary risk. But could the comfort we've worked so hard to create actually be holding us back from experiencing more of what God has for us? This Sunday at Church Story, we'll explore a surprising moment in the book of Esther and wrestle with a question worth asking: When was the last time you took a step that actually required you to trust God? You'll discover how to recognize when comfort is quietly weakening your faith and what it looks like to take meaningful steps toward a life of greater courage, purpose, and dependence on God. Watch last week’s message, When Life Doesn’t Go As Planned, by Wes Jackson, from Esther 1-2. 👇Recent SermonsSubscribe To Podcast How Can We Pray For You?

Current Sermon Series ONE ANOTHER, Prioritizing the Lost Art of Friendship In a culture increasingly marked by isolation and loneliness, Jesus offers a radically different vision for life together. We were created for connection, and the church is meant to be more than an event we attend. It should resemble a family where people commit to one another, care for one another, and refuse to walk away when relationships get difficult. As people who know we are fully loved by Christ, we can take the risk of making room for meaningful relationships, serving others, being vulnerable, and helping build the kind of community we are all searching for.
