What happens at the table was never meant to stay there. It's meant to overflow into every part of our lives. Join us as we explore how faith received becomes faith carried into our homes, workplaces, and everyday relationships.

What does it mean to come back to God? Throughout Scripture, God continually calls His people back to the table, back to His presence, back to relationship, and back to the simple truth at the heart of the Shema. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength.” The Shema is more than a command to believe in God. It is an invitation to reorient our entire lives around Him. In this message, we explore what it means to come home to God. We do not come to the table because we have earned our place. We come because God has welcomed us. No matter how far we have wandered, He continues to call us back to Himself. Sometimes coming home is not about finding a new place. It is about returning to the One who has been waiting for us all along.
