THIS SUNDAY
You weren’t meant to carry faith alone.
Sometimes following Jesus feels harder than we expected. We try to be patient, faithful, consistent, and strong—but underneath it all, it can still feel like it’s mostly on us to get everything right.
In this message, we look at the promise Jesus gives to people who are tired of trying harder. He doesn’t leave us to follow Him by willpower alone. He gives us His Spirit—present with us and in us—so the Christian life becomes less about striving for Jesus and more about walking with Him.
If you’ve ever felt like you should be further along by now, this message is an invitation to rediscover the help, presence, and grace Jesus has already promised.
Last Sunday
When showing up feels hard…
Sometimes the hardest part of faithfulness is not the work itself. It’s the waiting. You keep showing up, serving, praying, caring, giving, and doing what love requires — but the results are not always easy to see. After a while, it’s natural to wonder whether any of it is really making a difference.
This Sunday, we’ll look at a better way to understand faithful service. God’s Kingdom doesn’t grow like a machine, where effort produces instant, measurable output. It’s more like a garden, where one person plants, another waters, and God gives the growth in His time. As part of Volunteer Appreciation Sunday, we’ll also take time to honor those who serve quietly and faithfully — not because they can control the outcome, but because their work matters to God.
Groundwork
New Episode Debuts Tuesday.
Sometimes discouragement is easy to explain. Something happened. Someone hurt you. A plan fell apart. But other times you just feel worn down, foggy, spiritually dull, or emotionally tired — and you don’t really know why.
In this episode of Groundwork, Mike Collins explores why discouragement doesn’t always come from one source, and why it doesn’t always need the same response, offering a sensible, biblical framework for asking better questions when your soul feels weighed down.
If you’ve been feeling down and don’t know why, this conversation can help you slow down, listen honestly, and take a wiser next step with God.
Coming Up at Solid Ground
-
It's Coffee Time!
Our Sunday sermons are designed to be the first words in a conversation, not the last. The discussion continues every Wednesday morning at Coffee Klatch on the NE corner of Foothill and Vineyard in Rancho Cucamonga. Join Pastor Mike and a group of eager Solid Grounders as we dig deeper into what God’s Word has to say to us.
We practice the way of Jesus and we want you to be part of the journey.
Following Jesus is about more than attending weekend services. It’s about living life to the full, connected to Jesus and to one another. It’s about having a community of people to rally around us when we need it and a willingness to do the same for them. Navigate around our site to explore the variety of ways you can serve and be served as part of our faith family.
