Worthy Above the Heavens: 
Artemis II Returns Home 

With a successful splashdown, the Artemis II mission has completed its historic journey.  A remarkable achievement of courage and precision, Artemis II reminds us that even our greatest exploration points to a greater Creator. The moon they circled and the heavens they traveled declare His glory.

Pastor’s message April 5:

Easter 2026

Easter reveals a profound truth about God's mathematics: Empty Cross + Empty Tomb = Full Life. 

While we often try to fill our hearts with temporary things like money, approval, or success, these are like broken cisterns that cannot hold water. Jesus emptied Himself on the cross, taking our punishment for sin, and rose from the dead to offer us abundant life. 

The women who discovered the empty tomb learned that God knows exactly what we're looking for, even when we don't. Through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, we can exchange our emptiness for His fullness, finding true satisfaction in the living water only He provides.

Beyond the Golden Handcuffs: Finding Rest in a Restless World By Sam and Noel Gray 

Do you have it all but enjoy nothing? In our next study on Ecclesiastes 6:1-12, Solomon confronts the "grievous evil" of a man blessed with wealth and honor, yet denied the power to taste the fruit of his labor. Instead, a stranger benefits from his lifetime of struggle. Solomon bluntly concludes that such a life—one that exists without internal soul-satisfaction—is a futile and tragic existence, worse even than the fate of a stillborn child. 

What to Look For in This Lesson
The distinction between having and enjoying: 
Only God grants the power to fully participate in His gifts. 

The limits of legacy: 
A life spanning millennia is meaningless if it is devoid of spiritual substance. 

The path to peace: True satisfaction is found when we stop chasing "wandering desires" and embrace contentment as a divine gift, which can only be fully realized in Jesus Christ. 

Join us this Sunday, April 12, as we learn to trade the futility of chasing fleeting shadows for the security of an unshakeable Savior.

Alleluia! The Battle is Won: Happy Easter 2026! 

This Easter, we raise our joys and triumphs high to celebrate the resurrected King ! As Charles Wesley's classic hymn reminds us, "Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia! Fought the fight, the battle won" . Christ died to save our souls and has opened paradise, allowing us to boldly ask, "Where, O death, is now thy sting?". 

Please note that there will be NO Biblical Foundations: Bible Study class this Sunday. 

When we resume our regular schedule, we will be diving into our lesson series, "The Lasting Things," a journey through the Book of Ecclesiastes. We look forward to advancing the Kingdom of God through fellowship and biblical literacy together.
Q2 2026 Focus:
Seeking Our Heavenly King (Melek)

This quarter, our class will anchor our hearts in the Name of God, Melek (King) and our memory verse, Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you".
Our Scripture: Matthew 6:33 Jesus teaches that anxiety often reveals a defective trust in God and a defective purpose in life. Instead of worrying, we are called to prioritize what is important to God, trusting that He will take care of our needs. As Charles Spurgeon noted, if you seek the Lord first, "He will provide for you everything that is profitable". Our Focus: Melek The Israelites understood Yahweh as Melek—the supreme King over every nation. Today, we recognize Jesus as the ultimate King of kings whose perfect obedience successfully ushered in the kingdom of heaven. Let this quarter's focus remind us to release our daily worries and confidently align our lives with the eternal, peaceful kingdom of our great King.

Pastor’s message March 22, 

Palm Sunday: Saddle Up and Celebrate

On Palm Sunday, we looked at Jesus’ triumphal entry (Matthew 21) and were reminded that the King came in humility—not to be served, but to give His life.

The call was clear:

  • Trust God before you have clarity
  • See your life as part of His bigger story
  • Live with personal obedience
  • Celebrate—because it’s His parade, not ours

Our role is simple: take Jesus a little further down the road.

The morning culminated in an exciting Kingdom Come update:

  • 2,629 households engaged (over 7,000 people!)
  • Hundreds of first-time and returning givers
  • $12.8M+ already given
  • First gift: $500,000 to fund Bible translation for 700,000 people

The room erupted in celebration—because this is bigger than us. We’re part of what God is doing.

“Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”


Lesson Review: The Illusion of Wealth 
vs. The Reality of True Gain

Framed by a powerful contrast between illusion and reality, Butch and Karen led the Foundations class through Ecclesiastes 5:8–20, revealing the tension between what we chase and what truly satisfies.

On one side stands the illusion of wealth—where, as the handout highlighted, wealth often produces worry rather than peace. Solomon makes it clear: “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). Desire increases, worry multiplies, and the more we hold, the more we fear losing.

But the passage turns the corner.

On the other side is the reality of true gain—where contentment grows and joy is received as a gift from God. “Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them… this is the gift of God” (Ecclesiastes 5:19). When we recognize that God owns it all, we loosen our grip and begin to live with open hands.

Through both Scripture and personal testimony, Butch and Karen reminded us that what may look like a financial sacrifice can become one of life’s greatest spiritual gains.

The takeaway is clear:
True gain is not what we accumulate… but what we receive.

This lesson calls us to move from striving to trusting—and to discover the peace that comes from living for what truly lasts.

Pastor’s message March 22, 

The Garden of Gethsemane: The Soil, the Weeds, and the Blessing

In the Garden of Gethsemane, we see the power of surrender. Just as olives are crushed to produce oil, Jesus was pressed under unimaginable weight—yet from that crushing came blessing for the world. His prayer, “Not my will, but Yours be done,” declares that true strength is found in surrender to God’s perfect plan. And when we face our own crushing moments, we don’t rely on ourselves—we follow His example: we pray, we surrender, and we trust completely in God.


When Life Feels Out of Control… 
Where Do We Turn?

Bill Wright’s lesson, Sunday March 22, 2026: “The Troubles of Life,” walked us honestly through the frustrations, injustices, and disappointments of life under the sun—but not without hope. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:16–4:16, Bill reminded us that while we cannot control life, we can choose how we respond: with trust in God, gratitude in the present, and dependence on the relationships He provides.

With warmth, humor, and insight, he challenged the class to stop obsessing over the future, to rejoice in the work God has given us, and to remember that chasing money, power, or control never satisfies. He also highlighted the strength found in companionship—that two are better than one—and urged us to build the kind of relationships that help carry us through trouble.

It was a timely and practical lesson for all of us: in a troubled world, God calls us not to panic, but to live wisely, gratefully, and faithfully—trusting Him in the middle of life’s troubles.


Chasing More… 
or Finding What Truly Matters?

This Sunday, join Butch & Karen Butcher as they lead us into “Wealth, Worry, and True Gain” (Ecclesiastes 5:8–20)—a timely and practical look at what truly satisfies the heart.

In a world that constantly pushes us to chase more, Solomon reminds us that wealth often increases worry, not peace. So where is real gain found? Not in accumulation—but in contentment, gratitude, and receiving God’s gifts with joy.

Come discover how to live free from worry and rich in what truly matters.

Step Into Spring… and 
Discover The Lasting Things

As golden light breaks through the trees and the path unfolds ahead, we’re reminded that every new season is an invitation—to walk forward with purpose, perspective, and hope.

This spring, our Foundations Bible Study Class is journeying together through “The Lasting Things: A Study in Ecclesiastes.” In a world that often feels fleeting, Ecclesiastes gently calls us back to what truly endures—what is refined, tested, and lasting… like gold.

Just as the golden glow in this scene reflects beauty shaped by light, God is at work in us—quietly refining our hearts, renewing our perspective, and reminding us that life’s greatest treasures are not what we hold, but what holds us.

Whether you’ve been with us for years or are looking for a place to grow and connect, this is a perfect time to step onto the path with us.

Join us this Sunday as we pursue together… the lasting things.




Pastor’s message March 15, 

The Lord's Supper

Pastor Gregg reminded us, The Lord's Supper serves three purposes: remembering Christ's death, prompting self-examination, and anticipating His return. Only believers in Jesus Christ should participate, as you cannot meaningfully remember someone you don't know.


The God of Time: 
Finding Purpose in Every Season

This past Sunday, March 15, Rand Wall led our Foundations Bible Study Class through Ecclesiastes 3:9–15 with a powerful reminder: our time is not random—it is divinely appointed. God “has made everything appropriate in its time” and has even “set eternity in our hearts,” giving our lives both purpose and perspective.

This Sunday, March 22, Bill Wright will guide the Foundations Bible Study Class through Ecclesiastes 3:16–4:16 in a lesson titled “The Troubles of Life.”

In a world where injustice often seems to win, where the oppressed feel forgotten, and where success can still leave us empty, Solomon pulls back the curtain on life “under the sun.” From wickedness in places of justice to the loneliness of success and the grind of comparison, this passage speaks honestly about the struggles we all see—and sometimes feel.

But this is not a message of despair. It is a call to see beyond the brokenness—to trust that God has a time for judgment, a purpose in the struggle, and a better way forward. Through it all, we discover that true strength is found not in striving alone, but in walking with God and alongside others.

Join us as we explore how to navigate life’s troubles with faith, perspective, and lasting hope.


Brisket and Brotherhood: 
The BBQ Trail Stops at Pizzitola’s

Foundations men, saddle up for the next stop on the Men’s BBQ Trail! Trail Boss Richard is leading the charge to Pizzitola’s Heritage BBQ on March 26 at 11:20 AM—a Houston legend that’s been smoking meat on historic brick pits since 1935. In fact, Pizzitola’s is so historic that it’s actually older than some of the men in our class. 

Their recipe is beautifully simple: salt, pepper, fire, and Texas post oak. Translation: put the sauce bottle down and trust the 90-year-old process. 

One local review even claims Pizzitola’s beats the famous Truth BBQ—and the best part? No line. For a group of hungry men on a mission, those may be the most encouraging words ever spoken. 

Bring an empty stomach, invite a neighbor who might be easily persuaded by brisket queso or brisket enchiladas, and join us around a table seasoned with nearly a century of Texas smoke. 

Just remember—on the BBQ Trail, small group discussion is often the peaceful sound of brisket and ribs being munched… until someone looks at Trail Boss Richard and suggests ordering another plate in order to extend the discussion.

Pastor’s message March 8, 

Transformed: The Transfiguration

Brandon Ayers, Minister to Singles and Metro, shared a powerful message from Matthew 17 on the Transfiguration of Jesus. In this remarkable moment on the mountain, Jesus’ face shone like the sun and His clothes became dazzling white, revealing His divine glory to the disciples. 

The appearance of Moses and Elijah affirmed that Jesus fulfills the Law and the Prophets, while the voice of God declared with authority, “This is my beloved Son… listen to Him.” The Transfiguration was not Jesus becoming something new—it was the unveiling of who He had always been. 

Brandon reminded us that this revelation calls for a response. When we truly see Jesus for who He is—the Son of Glory and the suffering servant—we are challenged to remove anything that clouds our vision of Him and to live with renewed obedience, clarity, and purpose. This message invites us to look again at Christ and allow His glory to transform how we see Him and how we live.


March 8 Lesson: Jeff Pennington — Ecclesiastes 5:1–8

In our March 8 Foundations class, Jeff Pennington guided us through Ecclesiastes 5:1–8, where the preacher shifts from the futility of life “under the sun” to a profound call for reverent worship before God. 

Jeff reminded us that worship is not merely a routine or a convenient moment in our week. Instead, it is a heart posture of awe, humility, and attentive listening before the Lord. Solomon’s words challenge us to guard our steps as we approach God, to listen more than we speak, and to recognize the greatness of the One we worship.

The lesson also offered practical encouragement for our daily walk—preparing our hearts for worship, being thoughtful in our words before God, and remembering that worship reorients our lives from the distractions of the world back to the presence of the Lord. If you were not able to be with us—or if you would like to revisit Jeff’s thoughtful insights—take a few moments to watch the lesson below.

The God of Time: 
Discovering God’s Beautiful Timing 

This Sunday in Foundations, Rand Wall will guide us into one of the most encouraging passages in Ecclesiastes: Ecclesiastes 3:9–15, a lesson titled “The God of Time.” 

Solomon raises a question many of us have asked: What do we truly gain from all our work and effort? When life is viewed only “under the sun,” it can seem like constant activity without lasting reward. But this passage lifts our eyes to a greater truth—God is sovereign over time and is working out His purposes with perfect wisdom

In this lesson we will see how God brings meaning to our days and how He has placed eternity in the human heart, giving us a longing for something greater than the temporary things of this world. 

Rand will help us consider how trusting God’s timing brings peace in seasons of uncertainty and how learning to fear and revere Him anchors our lives in what truly lasts. 

Join us Sunday as we gather for this insightful and encouraging study, and discover how the God of eternity is at work in the moments of our lives.

Apples of Gold — A Song That Captures Our Mission

Our new Foundations Class theme, “Apples of Gold,” is inspired by Proverbs 25:11 — “A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.”

The apples of gold represent the life-giving truth of Scripture, while the settings of silver reflect the strong fellowship and structure that hold that truth high in our class.

In a busy Houston week, Foundations remains our staging ground of grace—anchored in Christ, grounded in doctrine, and committed to reaching every Houston face.

It’s more than music. It’s our mission set to melody.
