At the edge of what you can endure, what you can hope, what you can see—God meets you there. Because for God, the edge is never the end. It’s the beginning of your next chapter. 💧 This week’s sermon: “Edge of Oil Things” — where anointing meets breaking, and breaking becomes testimony. #GiveGodTheGlory #BibleNerdTime #Anointing #FaithAtTheEdge #PastorKaji #Bethany #MaryAndTheOil #MountaintopFaith #EdgeOfOilThings

We all have moments we wish we could take back. Peter had three. Three denials. Three chances to say it again: “Yes, Lord, I love you.” And Jesus met every failure with purpose. This week’s sermon was a reminder that as God forgives…God restores. If you’re carrying shame, hear this: God’s love is the bridge between your failure and your future. And every step forward: feeding, tending, loving, is part of the rhythm of grace. 📝 Dive into this week’s Study Guide now via the link in...
CALL BLOCKED. But Jesus still got through. Today we told the truth about interference in noise and shame and doubt. So many forces try to muffle our cry and God’s reply. But Bartimaeus kept calling. And Jesus was already calling back. If you missed it the first or the hundredth time, don’t worry. God’s still on the line. 📞 Take heart. Get up. God is calling you. 📝 Dive into this week’s Study Guide via the link in our bio or go here: https://parkavenuechristia...
The woman stood where they left her. She was surrounded by silence, not stones. And Jesus asked: “Where are your accusers?” This Sunday, Pastor Kaji leads us deeper into Answer Me This with a question that undoes shame and makes room for mercy.

The wind is howling. The waves are rising. Does Jesus panic? No. Instead, he asks: “Why are you so afraid?” This is a question of trust.

Healing is holy. Are you ready to be healed? Jesus looked at a man who’d been stuck for 38 years and asked: “Do you want to be made well?” It’s a soul check.

This sermon is for every woman who’s been told to wait for a man to claim her. For every person watching their rights unravel while someone shouts “God said so.” We’re not going back to Ruth’s rules. We’re moving forward with Ruth’s courage. Ruth wasn’t just a survivor—she was an ancestor to liberation. #RuthlessSystems #RighteousWomen #RuthsRules #FaithThatFrees #ProgressiveChurch
“At Pentecost, Spirit didn’t show up with a manual or a manifesto. Spirit came as wind. As breath. As presence.” The Holy Spirit doesn’t wait for perfection. She shows up where there’s confusion, hunger, and hope — not to destroy, but to dislodge what no longer serves. She doesn’t gatekeep. She guides. She doesn’t silence. She speaks. ✨ So catch your breath. Just breathe. Let that be enough. And let the dream begin. #Pentecost #HolySpirit #CookoutSeason #FaithInTheFire #SpiritualBreathwork #D...

“Joy in the Key of Grace” is a way of life. This week, we remembered that real joy isn’t passive. It’s practiced. Protected. It sings when there are no words. And it refuses to let fire burn. See Pastor Kaji ‘s message and carry this joy with you. 🕊️✨ #JoyInTheKeyOfGrace #RefinedNotDestroyed #EasterSeason
"We bear burdens. We bear with one another. And sometimes we’re called to bear the unbearable. But beloved: even when you are the one doing the bearing…look around! You are in good company." #CalledToLove #GodWithUs #SacredSupport #LoveThatHolds #SpiritualMothering
A Christ-like love doesn’t shut you down in avoidance of being hurt again. It doesn’t push love away bc you don’t know how to be needed. No, no no no no no. Jesus’ love is: secure. It’s a love that holds you, frees you, opens you up to show up for someone else without being afraid you’ll lose yourself. #ProgressiveChristianity #GospelLove #Matthew25 #SecureLove
