FAITH = ACTION If we want God's blessings in our future, we must be faithful today. God has placed seeds in our hands, our GIFTS, TIME, and MONEY -- but if we hold onto them tightly, they'll never grow. When we sow with a generous heart, God promises to multiply our seed and increase our harvest. Anything done for God's Kingdom must come from the heart -- that's where lasting impact begins. Trust Him with what you have, and watch Him do more than you could imagine.

Your VISION should be IMPOSSIBLE without God's POWER Are you hesitant that what you're doing is what God wants? There are a few questions that can help answer that question honestly: -Have you talked to Him? -Have you fasted? -Have you waited on the Lord in solitude? -Have you cleaned up any sinful patterns? -Have you weeded out distractions that would prevent you from hearing God? What God has called you to do is not possible without Him. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to change the way we think,, transforming us from the inside out.

Have questions about faith, anxiety, or therapy? You’re not alone. This Sunday we’re sitting down with mental health professionals to have an honest conversation about the questions that matter most as we close out our series Hope For Mental Health.

If we want God’s PEACE, we need to practice God's WORD. When you WORRY, replace it with PRAYER. 1. Tell God what you need 2. Thank Him for all He's done! Sometimes, we just need a starting point. Prayer and being in the Word of God are essential to finding peace in all situations and circumstances!

We all make plans for our lives… dreams of who we’ll be and what we’ll do. But sometimes, life doesn’t go the way we pictured. Mental illness, addiction, or brokenness can leave us feeling helpless and far from hope. The good news? God meets us right there. We don’t get stronger by pretending we’re fine. We get stronger by depending on Him. As we celebrate eight years of God’s faithfulness and the lives changed through baptism, we’re reminded that healing and new beginnings are possible for anyone who turns to Jesus. There’s hope for every story, and strength to be found in surrender.

Sometimes a breaking point is God’s building point. How can we be there for those who are at their breaking point? When you know someone going through a tragedy or a difficult time in life, your presence matters most. We see a great example of this through the story of Job and his three friends, who also help show us what NOT to do when someone we love is going through a hard time. Care is rarely convenient, but your presence says more than your words. And when the time is right, God will give you the words to say!

Your limits are an invitation to receive God’s care. Only God knows our deepest needs. Many times when it comes to our mental health, we’re the most vulnerable after a great victory or before a big breakthrough. Only God can meet your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs. Only through Jesus can we truly “defeat” the things we can’t define. Even the strongest, most faith-filled people have limits. Even the most resilient people have breaking points. Where do we turn in our time of need? We need to learn to run to Jesus!

Humility opens the door for healing. Sometimes the hardest part about struggling mentally is opening up to someone. But there is healing on the other side of humility. There is no shame or condemnation in Christ. He meets us where we are at. It’s okay to not be okay, but through Jesus, we don’t have to stay that way! Today’s message — with a special guest — is about taking a step of humility and the healing power that follows.

Fear asks, “WHAT IF?” Faith says, “GOD IS!” It can be easy to listen to fear. We fear the worst instead of assuming the best. We struggle with the constant need to please people instead of pleasing God. Here’s a new “What if?” for you: What if you were to say YES to what God offers you? What if you were to walk in obedience and trust him no matter what? This message will give you steps to doing that TODAY!

What happens when we get closer to Jesus? What happens when we go from the “Crowd” to the “Core”? The closer we get to Jesus, the more we experience his power, revel in his glory, and participate in his plan for our lives! Jesus didn’t use the crowd to change the world, but those who were CLOSEST to him. And he’s not just calling a few to be close to him, but all of us. Ultimately, only a few will say yes. How can we take that bold step of faith to follow his call?

Connected people are fruitful people. We’re called into a life of CONNECTION! Community is where you GATHER, Commitment is when you GO, Connection is HOW you GROW What type of commitment does Jesus truly call us to as followers? Why does it sometimes feel like we are not growing, even if we say we are believers? Our connection is meant to be twofold: First and foremost to Christ, but also to other believers!

Community has a seat in the row; The committed have a role in the MISSION! Jesus loves the crowd, but he changes us in the community. And once you’re part of the community, you’re called to step into your role in the mission. What is the mission? It’s always seeking after those who are lost and don’t have a relationship with Jesus. Going from the community to the committed is uncomfortable, but the more we step into obedience, the more discomfort we experience…the more your life will change — for the better. And those around you! Community GATHERS, but commitment GOES!

Jesus loves the crowd but he changes us in community! We are not meant for isolation, and we're not called to constant consumption. We are called to be part of the body, not just to attend church. We are called to live in community and contribute! How can we take that step from CROWD to COMMUNITY? How different would your life look if you took that step?

“No offense, but…” usually means offense is coming. We’ve all said the wrong thing or heard the right thing said the wrong way. Words can heal or harm, build up or break down. Jesus didn’t just speak truth, He lived it with grace, compassion, and intentionality. This message helps us rethink how we speak—to pause, check our hearts, and use our words to bring life, not just opinions. Whether it’s behind a keyboard, in a conversation, or in conflict, how we speak reveals what’s in our hearts. Let’s talk about how to hold onto truth and love. Jesus didn’t crush people with honesty. He changed them with it.

Jesus didn’t avoid the messy. He moved toward it. He wasn’t afraid of being guilty by association because He brought grace by association. He shared meals with sinners, welcomed the outcasts, and called the unlikely. He saw potential where others saw problems. He didn’t wait for people to clean up before coming to Him. He invited them first, and transformation followed. How do we treat the people the world tends to avoid? This message will challenge us to open doors, extend real invitations, and love people the way Jesus did without condition and without fear.

Jesus didn’t occasionally participate in the sabbath, it was part of his rhythm and routine. Jesus not only understood the importance of rest but that intimacy with and dependence on God is non-negotiable. Jesus “often” withdrew to the wilderness for prayer. It was his “custom” to partake in the Sabbath. Jesus didn’t lean into urgency, but intimacy. He was rooted in dependence on the father and so should we! How do we prioritize rest and true dependence on God? This message will teach all of us how to make rest and intimacy with God part of our routine every day and every week.

What if the problem isn’t Jesus—but the way we've misrepresented Him? In this powerful message, we explore the radical humility of Jesus: a leader who knelt to wash feet, carried betrayal without bitterness, and submitted fully to the will of the Father. True leadership doesn’t impress. It serves. Real transformation begins when we stop performing and start obeying. Humility means submitting to God and serving others. That’s where real freedom begins.

True love inspires true obedience. Jesus wasn’t obedient to the will of the father because it was his obligation or duty. He was obedient because he truly loved the Father. It’s not possible to live in willing disobedience and simultaneously love the father with everything we’ve got. How can we live more like Jesus and choose loving obedience? The Father’s kindness leads us to repentance and his invitation isn’t expired if you’ve got breath in your lungs and a beating heart!

If you allow the Holy Spirit to guide your life, you won’t do what the sinful nature craves Jesus set an example of a life led by the Spirit. He lived a life of complete obedience and we are called to do the same It’s impossible to live your God-given purpose on your own strength and power. The Spirit will always lead us to Jesus and others. This message will help you see how to live in that same strength We also celebrate life change through baptism and testimonies of death to life!

Jesus had all of the physical attributes of you and I as a human being. What was Jesus PASSIONATE about? What really MATTERED to him? What if you were to wrap God around every passion of yours? Your purpose in life will always be tied to something that matters to the heart of God, and nothing matters more to him than people How can we combine our passions with God’s passion for people? How can we share in that passion for reaching others? Ask God today to give you a desire and wake within you the passion for reaching others!
