Why does it seem like God is taking longer than you expected to answer, provide, or move? In this message, Pastor Jon explores how biblical patience is more than simply waiting—it's trusting that God is at work even when you can't see it. If you've ever felt frustrated by delays, difficult people, or unanswered prayers, you'll find encouragement and practical wisdom from Scripture. Discover how remembering God's faithfulness in the past can help you trust Him with the present and the future. Watch now and be reminded that patience is active trust in a God who is always working.

Many people spend their lives chasing happiness, only to find that circumstances can take it away in a moment. But the joy that comes from God's Spirit is different—it isn't based on what's happening around us but on who is with us. In this message, we'll discover the source of true joy and learn how God enables us to find strength, hope, and contentment in every season. Join us as we explore the fruit of joy and uncover a deeper gladness that remains steady no matter what life brings.

Today, we move from a hidden season into a holy interruption. At the end of Exodus chapter 2 we read of 4 actions of God: God heard, God remembered, God saw, and God knew what was going on with his people. Today, in Exodus chapters 3 ad 4, we'll discuss how God speaks. God called Moses to a specific task, but Moses was reluctant to step into his calling. Thankfully, God even works through reluctant leaders when they reach the place of obedience. Today, we'll learn that excuses delay what obedience delivers.

Vision Sunday 2026 is a moment to celebrate what God has done and to look ahead with faith and expectation. We’ll reflect on how Mission Grove Church has grown this past year, meaningful community outreach, and lives being impacted beyond our walls. As we step into the year ahead, we’ll introduce our new word for the year, Transform, and invite everyone to imagine how God wants to reshape our hearts, our church, and our influence in our city. Come ready to celebrate, dream, and take your next step into what’s ahead.

Why, even when life is good—a solid job, a growing family, meaningful relationships—do we still feel like something is missing? This Sunday at Mission Grove Church, Pastor Jon Kragel tackles that honest question in our Good Question series with the message, "Why Do We Long for More?" Scripture shows that our longing is not a sign of failure, but evidence that we were created for something beyond what this world can provide. God has placed eternity in our hearts, and Jesus offers a life that goes beyond striving, achieving, and accumulating.

What do you do when your marriage isn’t what you thought it would be? When expectations don’t match reality… when it feels one-sided… when you’re trying, but they’re not? This Sunday at Mission Grove Church, Pastor Jon is talking about Love That Lasts—and it might not be what you expect. Because the Bible teaches that marriage isn’t just about happiness… it’s about holiness. It’s about becoming more like Jesus, even when it’s hard. We’ll look at Ephesians 5 and discover how real, lasting love is built—not on a perfect relationship—but on a faithful walk with Him.
