|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || Yesterday, Pastor Jerry reminded us that following Jesus should actually make us different, and that difference is shown through love. He walked through Jesus’ words to James and John to show how easily we chase status instead of choosing service. Jesus defined true greatness as serving others, not holding power or position.

|| ABOUT THIS MESSAGE || In week 3 of our BLESS series, Pastor David explored how the “E” in the BLESS acronym represents “Eat” and is a powerful way for us to cultivate community around the Gospel. For Jesus, sharing a meal was far more than food, it was a place where He performed miracles, extended forgiveness, modeled humility, and restored relationships. His message revealed how God used the table as a tool for ministry and connection. Breaking bread with others can open doors for grace, compassion, and gospel conversations. Let the message encourage you to make your table a place of intentional love and hope. || ABOUT BEACH CHURCH || We exist to reach, raise up, and release followers of Jesus who change the world.
