When October gets spooky, what should disciples of Jesus do with the pull toward the paranormal—and the pitfalls of superstition? In this sermon, we unpack some of Jesus’ scariest warnings and most hope-filled truths. From the wilderness temptations (Matthew 4) to the sobering “I never knew you” (Matthew 7) and the “empty house” warning (Matthew 12:43–45), we explore why counterfeit goodness, performative spirituality, and power without surrender are more dangerous than jump-scares.

This sabbath's service was extra special as two of our young speakers, Eli and Ciara, led us through the inspiring story of Elijah. Together, their messages reminded us that God is our Rock and that when we anchor ourselves in Him, we find courage, peace, and direction even in life’s toughest climbs.
