Dear Church Family,
In a world of AI and rapid technological advancement, what does it truly mean to be human?
We live in an age obsessed with algorithms, productivity, and optimization. When culture treats people like data files or biological machines to be upgraded, it is easy to feel as though your worth is tied entirely to what you produce.
But your value isn’t measured by your efficiency, output, or physical perfection. You are an irreplaceable soul, created in the very image of God!
This weekend, join us for the series finale of Always Be Ready as Pastor Caleb preaches on human identity, technology, and the true source of eternal hope. As we face the real impacts of the fall and the limitations of human progress, Pastor Caleb will explore the contrast between the fleeting hope technology offers and the unshakable hope God promises.
I’ll be at our DSC-Delray Beach campus this Sunday leading worship and preaching there as we begin to help cover the pastoral vacancy there as they wait to receive a new pastor. The calling process there has begun.

Pastor Caleb Has a Call – On Monday, Pastor Caleb received a call from Immanuel Lutheran Church in Greenville, WI to consider being one of their pastors there. That means over the next couple weeks he’ll seek the Lord’s direction as to where to serve—whether to continue here with us in Doral or there in Greenville, WI. Pastor Caleb would appreciate your input, prayers, encouragement, and perspective. Please feel free to email or reach out to him!
