Ever sent out an RSVP and nobody responded? Or worse... they said they weren't coming and showed up anyway with three extra people?

In Matthew 22, Jesus tells the story of a King who sends out the greatest invitation ever given. The banquet is ready. The seats are available.
Everything has been paid for. Yet people respond in very different ways.

Some ignore the invitation.
Some get angry at the invitation.
Some show up for the wrong reasons.
And some are simply grateful they were invited.

In Part 4 of our series, When Jesus Comes to Church, we discover that God's house was built to be full, His Son was meant to be celebrated, and His invitation has gone out to all.

The question is simple: How have you responded to the King's RSVP?

Gatherer or Gatekeeper

The harvest is plentiful.�Broken people are everywhere.�Jesus is still saving, restoring, healing, and drawing people to Himself.

So why are so many churches better at guarding the gate than gathering the harvest?

In Week 3 of our “When Jesus Comes to Church” series, we walk through Matthew 21:33–46 and uncover one of Jesus’ strongest confrontations with religious people.

The problem wasn’t that God stopped working.
The problem was the workers stopped working.

This message is about:
- gatherers vs gatekeepers
- holy huddles
- church culture
- reaching broken people
- and the mission we were actually saved for

You weren’t just saved FROM something…you were saved TO something.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas, and great‑grandmas!

Join us for a special Mother’s Day message from Pastor Jason Powell and be encouraged today.

What happens when Jesus shows up to church? Not the version we’re comfortable with…Not the version we’ve softened…The real Jesus.

In this new series, When Jesus Comes to Church, we’re walking through the final days of Jesus’ life—and what He actually did in God’s house.

Week 1: Cleaning House (Matthew 21:12–17) When Jesus walks into the temple, He doesn’t blend in - He flips tables.
• He removes what doesn’t belong
• He restores what was missing
• He receives the worship He deserves

This message will challenge you, stretch you, and help you see church the way Jesus sees it. Because before Jesus went to the cross… He went to church.
