02/18/2026 | "The First Yes: Returning to God" | Joel 1–2 Bible Study | Crosstown Midweek w/Dr. Nicholas Pearce

What does it mean to truly return to God?

In this week’s Crosstown Midweek Bible Study, Dr. Nicholas Pearce teaches from Joel 1–2, exploring God’s call to honest repentance: “Tear your hearts, not just your clothes.” This message examines spiritual honesty, self-deception, and what it means to respond to God’s grace with a sincere and surrendered heart.

Crosstown Midweek is our weekly virtual Bible Study designed to recharge your faith in the middle of the week with practical, Christ-centered teaching that speaks directly to everyday life.
