Are you living potted, or planted? Tim Lucas share in this message that a potted plant can look healthy for a while, but its growth is limited. A planted tree grows slowly, deeply, and steadily, drawing life from living water and staying strong through storms. The same is true spiritually.

As we step into 2026, we all face the same choice: will we be distracted by worry, or will we dwell in the presence of God? In Psalm 84, the sons of Korah declare that one day in God’s presence is better than a thousand elsewhere. In this message, Jason Elsmore reminds us that we can enjoy God’s presence anywhere, anytime - but we live in a deeply distracted culture.

You can trust a lot of things… until you can’t. In a world of filters, deepfakes, generative AI, and constant opinions, the question gets urgent: what is true?

In this first Sunday of 2026, Andrew Mayne opens Psalm 25 to come back to a simple foundation: God is consistent, good, loving, and present, no matter what the year holds.
