“Vibes & Values” isn’t just another sermon series—it’s an open door to belonging. We all feel the pull for real friendships and a place where we’re truly known, yet fear and loneliness can hold us back. In this series, we’ll unpack the power of finding the right circle where you can truly thrive and God’s dream for us to build relationships that last. If you’ve been searching for connection and longing for a place to belong, this is your moment to step out of fear, leave loneliness behind, and find your people.
Join us each Sunday and experience God’s presence in your life as we worship and study the Bible together. Come just as you are.

We encourage you to spend time during your week reading scripture and praying. This is a tool to help you spend time with God during week. Would you make a commitment to do what Jesus did?
Luke 5:16 – But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
If Jesus needed to spend that time with his Heavenly Father, we certainly need it too! Take 10-20min each day with a journal, your Bible and a prayer list. Put it on the calendar and make it a priority.
S.O.A.P. is a simple method for reading and applying God’s word to our lives. It stands for Scripture, Observation, Application and Prayer and involves four simple steps:
- Scripture – Read a short Bible passage out loud and/or write it out. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you as you read and look for any specific words or phrases that stand out and write them down.
- Observation – What do you notice about the verses? What do you think the main message is? What verses, words or ideas jump out to you?
- Application – Ask God how he wants you to apply the verse to your own life. What do you need to do today because of the passage? How do you need to think differently?
- Prayer – Have a list of things you’re asking God to do for you or others. Start by thanking God for things then move to requests.
You can choose your own scripture or reading plan or use the one provided for our Series.

PRAYING THROUGH THE ARMOR OF GOD
Equip me, Lord: (PRAYER)
• With the belt of truth (v. 14). May your truth rule in my heart and be in my mind and on my lips today.
• With the breastplate of righteousness (v. 14). Apart from You there is no righteousness, but through Jesus I have been “born again” and made righteous in Your sight. May I live as a righteous person.
• With feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace (v. 15). May I reflect the Gospel in my words and actions, that through me, with my every encounter, others may be drawn one step closer to You.
• With the shield of faith (v.16). May I take You at Your word concerning promises about the present and future—promises of everlasting love, abundant life, and so much more.
• With the helmet of salvation (v. 17). Remind me that nothing can separate me from Your love and that I’ve been saved by grace. In Your grace, help me to say “no” to all ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live a self-controlled, upright, and godly life (Titus 2:12,13).
• And with the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God (v. 17). May Your Holy Spirit reign in my life and bring to my mind just the right Bible verses to be in my heart and on my lips. May I be “filled with the Spirit” and ready with Scripture as You were, Jesus, when the devil tempted You.
• Finally, keep me in an attitude of prayer (v. 18). Remind me to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions.” Cause me to be alert and always praying for the saints; to be joyful and to give thanks in everything (see 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
