In the final week of “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Don explores Joshua’s final words and the legacy of faith he leaves behind. He challenges us to remember God’s faithfulness, reject worldly distractions, recommit to serving the Lord, and pass our faith on to the next generation, choosing to serve Him wholeheartedly.

In Week 5 of “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Lathan Craft explores Joshua’s continued battles to take possession of the Promised Land, reminding us that a long fight does not mean a losing fight. He encourages us to persevere through seasons of waiting and difficulty, trusting that we are never fighting alone and that God remains faithful even when the victory takes time.

In Week 4 of “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Don explores how Israel’s victory at Jericho was followed by defeat at Ai because of hidden sin and disobedience. He reminds us of the danger of relying on our own strength instead of seeking God, challenging us to pursue holiness, confront sin honestly, and trust in the Lord as we move forward in faith.

For this special “Sent Sunday,” Pastor Darryl Meekins, our new Pastor for Global Outreach, explores Jesus’ call for us to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. He challenges us to live out our faith through genuine love, faithful presence, and compassionate service, moving toward others with the love of Christ and sharing His hope both locally and around the world.

In Week 3 of “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Don explores Joshua’s preparation for battle and the fall of Jericho, reminding us that each battle belongs to the Lord. He challenges us to prioritize our relationship with God, trust His plans even when they don’t make sense, and walk in faithful obedience, remembering that His grace is available to anyone.

In Week 2 of “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Brett explores Joshua’s story through Rahab’s faith and Israel’s crossing of the Jordan. He reminds us that God meets us where we are, calls us to step out in faith, and invites us to set aside anything that keeps us from following Him, trusting that obedience often comes before the miracle.

As we begin our new series “Be Strong and Courageous,” Pastor Don looks at Joshua’s call to lead God’s people into the promised land after 40 years in the wilderness. He challenges us to re-engage with God’s promises, faithfully obey His Word, and move forward together in courage and faith, trusting God as He leads us into what’s next.

As we finish out our series, “Building What Matters,” Pastor Don looks at Jesus’ compassion for those who are lost and challenges us to see the people around us with the same compassion. Through Matthew 9, we’re reminded that the harvest is plentiful, the need is great, and we are called to respond by praying, caring, and being willing to join God in reaching others.

As we continue our series, “Building What Matters,” Pastor Don explores how God has uniquely called each of us to be part of one body and one mission. Through Ephesians 4 and 1 Corinthians 12, we’re challenged to discover our SHAPE and use the gifts, passions, abilities, personality, and experiences God has given us to serve others and help build up the body of Christ.

As we begin our new series, “Building What Matters,” Pastor Don looks to the book of Nehemiah to explore what it takes to build something that truly matters to God. Through Nehemiah’s story, we’re challenged to prepare through prayer, work together, stand firm through opposition, and trust that what God calls us to build will be accomplished with His help.
