The prayers it's hard to pray.

THIS SUNDAY

The prayers it's hard to pray.

Some days, believing in God's goodness comes easily. Other days, grief, disappointment, and unanswered questions make those familiar assurances difficult to embrace. We may even wonder whether expressing our anger or frustration with God crosses a line. But what if the Bible has more to say about those feelings than we realize? This Sunday, Pastor Mike takes us into one of Scripture's most overlooked books, where some startling expressions of anguish sit alongside one of the Bible's best-loved promises. What we discover may change the way we approach God when life is painful and the answers don't come.

Is asking questions a sign of weak faith?

Is asking questions a sign of weak faith?

Have you ever wondered whether a Bible passage was meant to be taken literally, but kept the question to yourself? Maybe you asked once and the room went quiet, or someone looked at you like you'd just switched teams. So you stopped asking. You're not alone. Some of the people closest to Jesus struggled with the same thing, and the way he responded might surprise you. This Sunday, find out why asking that question isn't a betrayal of your faith, and how it can deepen your confidence in God's Word. No seminary degree required.

GROUNDWORK

Keeping little problems little.

Every cozy Christmas romance has that moment. Everything seems to be going fine — until a secret comes out, something gets misunderstood, or somebody walks away before the story can be explained. We laugh because we can see it coming. But maybe that familiar movie moment works because it’s not as far from real life as we’d like to think. In this episode of Groundwork, Pastor Mike has some fun with the Hallmark-style Christmas movie formula — and uses it to explain how real-life relationships can survive “The Wrinkle.”

  • Women's Bible Study

    When Life Feels Uncertain, God’s Promises Still Hold

    Join us Thursday mornings for our weekly Women’s Bible Study based on Elizabeth George’s Walking in God’s Promises: Character Studies: Sarah. Through Sarah’s story—her faith, her struggles, her waiting, and the ways God shaped her along the way—we’ll learn what it means to trust God’s promises, wait for His timing, and find peace and confidence even when life doesn’t unfold the way we expected.

  • Mark Quick Study

    Take a Fresh Look at Jesus.

    Join Mark Quick on Sunday mornings for a fresh look at the Gospel of Mark—a fast-moving account of the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus. Together, we’ll work through the text, ask good questions, and discover what Mark’s Gospel has to say to us today.

    Sundays at 9:00 AM in the Fellowship Hall.

  • 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.
