What do we do when life doesn't make sense? In Week 3 of our Rewind series, we look at Exodus 14 and the incredible story of Moses and the Red Sea. Through this story, we discover that God's plans don't always make sense to us, His presence doesn't disappear when life gets difficult, and His power accomplishes what we cannot.Even when we don't understand what God is doing, we can trust who He is.

In week two of our Rewind series, we revisit the story of Jonah and discover that it's about much more than a man and a big fish. Through Jonah's disobedience, Nineveh's repentance, and God's compassion, we see that we cannot run from God, His mercy is not something we earn, and He calls us to show compassion to others.Ultimately, Jonah's story points us to Jesus, who gave His life so that we could receive the forgiveness and mercy we don't deserve.

Tonight at WNL, we kicked off our new series, OT Rewind, by looking at the story of David and Goliath in 1 Samuel 17. We were reminded that the battles we face may seem overwhelming, but our confidence should never be in our own strength. Instead, we can trust in the power and faithfulness of God.As we face challenges this week, we want to remember what God has done, trust who He is, and respond in faith and obedience.

Anxiety is something many of us face, but what does God’s Word say about it? Tonight, we look at Matthew 6:25–34 and Philippians 4:6–8 to discover how we can respond to anxiety by trusting God, turning to Him in prayer, and renewing our minds with His truth. Even in the midst of worry and uncertainty, we can find peace in knowing that God cares for us.

Lust can seem harmless at first, but unchecked desire can quickly take control. This message looks at how temptation works, what Jesus teaches about purity, and how we can pursue holiness in a culture that constantly pulls us in the opposite direction.

In a world constantly telling us who we should be and where to look for answers, Paul points us back to Jesus. In Colossians 1:24–2:5, we see that Christ is our hope, our goal is maturity in Him, and true wisdom is found in Him.

In Week 2 of Identity, we look at Colossians 1:15–23 and see who Jesus truly is. Jesus is above all things, holds all things together, leads His church, and came to reconcile us to God. Because of who Jesus is and what He has done, our lives should look different.

Identity — Week 1What defines who you are? In Colossians 1, Paul reminds us that our identity isn’t found in what we accomplish, what others think about us, or even how we see ourselves. For those who follow Jesus, our identity is rooted in Him.In week one of our Identity series, we look at Colossians 1:1–14 and what it means to live as someone who has been rescued, redeemed, and brought into the kingdom of Jesus.
