REUNION Christian Church

If God were to show up, we might be the last ones to recognize it.

The Christian life doesn't begin with certainty — it begins with staying close to a Jesus you can't yet fully see.

Resurrection isn't first believed — it's recognized. And it finds you in the dark, before anything is resolved, when a voice says your name.

When Scripture becomes the light that guides our steps, we can walk through any season with hope, knowing it is leading us toward a life of true flourishing.

Scripture is a tool that helps us be with God. As we sit in his presence, as we commit to being with him, we start to find the life we crave.

Work is not a curse to escape or an idol to worship. It is a calling to participate in God’s good work in the world.

We were not designed to follow Jesus alone. Intentional relationships are essential to a healthy, faithful life.

Discerning a new season starts not with perfect clarity, but with honest desire. Jesus invites us to bring what we truly want—so He can guide us into what we truly need.

Looking back with God is not about regret or nostalgia. It is about noticing where God has been faithful and letting that shape the future.

The goal of life with Jesus is not doing more, but becoming more. Fruitfulness grows through intentional connection, not pressure.

Peace isn’t a feeling or an idea — it’s a person. Jesus is God’s peace made visible, available, and near.

God’s peace breaks into the chaos of real life — not after things calm down, but right in the middle of it.

Peace grows slowly. God often forms peace in us long before we feel it.

Peace begins when God meets us in uncertainty, not when everything makes sense.

Abiding in Jesus is staying close enough for his life to fill ours. When we remain with him, we receive a kind of strength, joy, and peace that cannot grow anywhere else.

Mark 5: 25-34 with Nathan Caddell. In this teaching from our series “With,” Nathan looks at the story of the bleeding woman in Mark 5, a woman who tried to stay hidden, reached for Jesus in secret, and then had to tell her “whole truth” in front of everyone. We talk about shame, church hurt, and why so many of us are afraid to be fully known, even by God. And we explore how Jesus meets this woman, not with condemnation, but with welcome, calling her “daughter” and sending her out in peace. If you are tired of hiding, wondering if God (or the church) would still want you if you told the whole story, this message is an invitation to step into the light and find healing, freedom, and family with Jesus.

Luke 10: 38-42 with Matt Chin. We live in a world that celebrates busyness and constant motion. But what if Jesus is inviting us to something different? In this message, Matt reflects on the story of Mary and Martha in Luke 10 and the one thing Jesus calls “necessary.” It’s not more doing—it’s being loved. Through stillness, presence, and contemplative prayer, we learn that God isn’t asking for our performance—He’s inviting us to sit at His feet, receive His love, and find the peace that can’t be taken away.

Lamentations 3:16-27 with Nathan Caddell. What do we do when God feels silent? After four months on sabbatical, Nathan shares about longing to hear God’s voice—and being met instead with silence. Drawing from the book of Lamentations, he explores how God’s silence doesn’t mean God’s absence, and how hope is not rooted in optimism or easy answers, but in the unchanging character of God. Even when prayers go unanswered and life feels uncertain, God’s steadfast love remains. The invitation isn’t to fix the silence, but to stay near—to discover that what our hearts long for most isn’t clarity, but communion. Because even in the silence, God is still with us.

Haggai 1:1–15; 2:1–9 with guest speaker Patrick Harden. We love stories with happy endings—where the hard work finally pays off, the hero wins, and everything feels complete. But what happens when the ending we hoped for never comes? In this final message of the Build Your Life series, Patrick shares how the Israelites’ return from exile didn’t go as planned. The temple they rebuilt was smaller, the work was harder, and their dreams felt unfinished. Through the prophet Haggai, God reminds them—and us—that what makes life meaningful isn’t the size of what we build, but the presence that fills it.

Genesis 37-50 with Matt Chin. What do you do when the dream you believed was from God doesn’t unfold the way you hoped? When it takes longer, costs more, or looks nothing like you imagined? In this message, Matt explores the life of Joseph—a young man with a God-given dream who finds himself betrayed, forgotten, and waiting in the dark. Through Joseph’s story and his own, Matt invites us to consider how God works in the waiting, reshapes our expectations, and meets us in the in-between. Because sometimes, the dream has to be broken before it can be rebuilt.
