In this past Sunday's message, Rev. Jake Medcalf explored the final stretch of life's race, likening it to “the kick” — that last surge of effort, hope, and faith as we near the finish line. As part of our new sermon series Being Mortal: Finishing the Course with Joy, this sermon reminded us how to live with purpose even in the face of mortality, urging us to press on with courage, community, and Christ at the center.
