We all have ideas about what we want in life. Our hope is that God will meet us where we’re at and give us those things. And yet, we’re going to discover that God has done something better. He sent Jesus to give us what we need. This is a series where we’re going to learn why God is “The God We Need.” 

Part 1 | The Bread of Life 

John 6:25-35 
September 7, 2025
We all have physical needs—food, money, security, health. But if we’re honest, those things can easily become our focus. We spend our lives chasing after the earthly, but they never truly satisfy the longing inside. In part one of our series, we're going to see how a crowd came to Jesus looking for a quick fix for their earthly lives. But Jesus points them to something far better—Himself. 

Part 2 | The Light of the World 

John 8:12-18 
September 14, 2025
Our world can feel like a dark place - filled with sin, fear, and brokenness. But Jesus steps into the darkness and declares, "I am the Light of the world." Join us this week as we discover how his light can break through the darkness and bring hope and healing. 

Part 3 | The Gate 

John 10:1-10
September 21, 2025 
Your life will present many doors that promise happiness, significance, and success. But most of them can't deliver anything close to what they offer. This weekend we'll explore Jesus' claim to be "the Gate," the only way to true life. He spoke words of promise and words of caution that will change how you see every other door. 

Part 4 | The Good Shepherd 

John 10:11-15
September 28, 2025
Without direction, we’re like sheep wandering into danger and chasing voices that can’t truly satisfy. But Jesus is the Good Shepherd who laid down his life to rescue us and now calls us to follow him. Join us this week as we celebrate the sacrificial love of Jesus and learn how our lives are better when we follow him. 

Part 5 | The Way, the Truth, and the Life 

John 14:1-7 
October 5, 2025
Jesus loved people in a way no one else ever has. Yet he also spoke words that, by today’s standards, sound shockingly exclusive and intolerant. This weekend, we’ll study the most exclusive statement Jesus ever made, and we’ll see what it teaches us about the God we need. 

Part 6 | The Vine 

John 15:1-8 
October 12, 2025
We live in a world that measures success by what we produce. Jesus says real fruit doesn’t come from trying harder, it can only come by staying connected to Him. This week we’ll discover what it means to stay connected to Jesus and why it's essential for a life that actually bears fruit.
