What If We're Missing the Point?

THIS COMING SUNDAY

What If We're Missing the Point?

You can know the Bible inside and out and still miss something important. And when familiar interpretations begin to unravel, you may wonder what you can trust. This Sunday, Pastor Mike explores why understanding Scripture is about more than getting the answers right—and how discovering where it leads can change the way we understand God.

More Than a Hunch?

Ever had a thought you couldn't shake? A feeling that you needed to do something, reach out to someone, or take a different direction? Was that God? Your imagination? Just a coincidence? It's a question many Christians wrestle with, often quietly. We want to recognize God's leading, but we don't want to mistake our own wishes for His direction. In this message, Ryan Showalter explains that there's a way to approach that uncertainty without ignoring it—or pretending we're always sure. It may change how you think about some of the most ordinary moments in your life.

Taken for granted.

GROUNDWORK

Taken for granted.

It's hard when you're the person everybody depends on, but hardly anybody seems to appreciate. You keep handling the responsibilities, solving the problems, and making sure things don't fall apart. And after a while, you begin to wonder whether the people around you have any idea what it's costing you. That kind of disappointment can affect more than your mood. It can quietly change the way you feel about the people you love. In this episode of Groundwork, Pastor Mike takes on the often-unspoken hurt of feeling unappreciated and offers some perspective that could make a real difference.

  • 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 mornings from 11a-12p 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 together.

Following Jesus is about more than attending weekend services. It’s about living life connected to Jesus and to one another — having people to rally around us when we need it, and learning to do the same for others.

At Solid Ground, church is more than a service to attend. It’s a community of people learning to worship, pray, serve, forgive, encourage, and follow Jesus in everyday life.

Have a question, need prayer, or want to take a next step? We’d be glad to hear from you.
