Struggling with sobriety and feeling hopeless?

This message is for YOU. Living water is the life Jesus gives through His presence, grace, and truth, a deep renewal of the soul that truly satisfies.

It’s not temporary relief, but lasting strength when life feels out of control. No matter where you are, you are never beyond His reach.

Step work! Admit, follow Jesus, move forward.

In the midst of chaos, you are there. In the midst of our trial, you carry us through. A powerful reminder that God never leaves us in our darkest moments. When life feels overwhelming, remember the battle belongs to Him!

When you've burned bridges and made a mess of your life, the enemy whispers 'you're beyond hope.' But that's exactly when God's love shines brightest! No matter how deep the shame, you're never too far gone for His grace.

Reminder: Tonight's gathering is cancelled due to winter weather.

Update: There is no Friday Night Recovery this week!

Salvation and sobriety are just the BEGINNING! God doesn't just want to save you - He wants to clean it up, straighten it out, and make your life WHOLE again. The joy of freedom from condemnation is amazing, but there's still work to be done!

The one type of baggage you can NEVER escape?

Spiritual baggage. It defines your mental state, your relationships, your social life - everything flows from what you believe deep down. Your beliefs determine your actions, and this baggage sticks with you forever.

01/23/2026

Recovery isn't just about getting clean. It's about letting God complete His work in you! You need ALL the steps. Salvation and sobriety are just the beginning! Referencing a powerful verse; Philippians 1:6. How is Jesus helping you recover?

Reminder: Tonight’s gathering is cancelled due to winter weather. Stay safe and warm!

Ever feel like you're fighting a war within yourself? Paul's raw confession in Romans reveals the struggle we all face - wanting to do good but finding ourselves trapped in patterns we hate. But here's the breakthrough: God doesn't want you to fight alone. He's waiting to carry you through!
