Discovery Church

It’s not about the right hand of your ability or strength, but the left hand of weakness offered to God in availability...

God does his work in the world through ordinary people, just obeying him in ordinary ways…faithfully serving as a mother; faithfully sharing Christ with a friend; faithfully caring for your neighbors or serving in our kids’ ministry.

If we view our faith and relationship with Jesus, it helps us to see where we are. The places we need to grow closer to God and how we can expand or challenge our faith. Tune into this week 1 message of our 'All Rise' series to hear about how deeply God wants a personal and flourishing relationship with you.

Tune in to hear our Discovery Students share their stories of faith and how God is moving in the lives of the next generation.

It’s all about the going, the sharing, the inviting…

And you keep on going and you keep on sharing, and you keep on inviting to the ends of the earth. What’s keeping you from doing just that, going, sharing, inviting? Embarrassment? Fear? Busyness? You and I are continuing to write this story as Jesus fans and followers. Will you respond?

Relationally, physically, it's all about small things leading in a direction of big things over time that change us. Paul was focused! He regularly did what other people only sporadically did. And here’s the deal…we become what we repeatedly do. Paul lived his life with the end in mind. How about you?

God made a difference in Paul so that He could make a difference in the lives of others. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to empower us to live a spirit-filled life, not for self-gratification but to bring others closer to faith.

Imagine what would happen if each one of us found one other person in your lives and said the words, “ICNU” to them? And then you began investing in them and doing life together, teaching them what God is teaching you, serving together side by side. Could it be that God is just waiting for you to speak words of encouragement into them so that He could unleash their God given potential and begin using them in extraordinary ways?

Do you have any prejudices or preferences that are affecting God's purpose for your life?

Do you have any prejudices that are keeping you from reaching out to people whether it's political or skin tone, or religious or education, or income level, special needs, maybe people that you're not reaching out to because they're different than you and you don't understand that? Maybe it's not just time to repent, it's time to build some relationships like Peter, I gotta go out the door of that house. I gotta hop over that fence and shake some hands and reach out to somebody that I gotta get uncomfortable for the sake of the last.

You're not too far gone for God's grace...

In Acts 9, we see too people (Saul & Ananias) on two different pages of faith. Some of us feel too far gone in this life for God to reach us and turn around things in our lives that we've done. And some of us have people in our lives that God has put there on purpose...to love, reach, & share the Good News that we have already as believers. Either way, the grace and love of God is never out of reach.

Have you ever been in one of those situations where you think that you're in a place for one reason, but God has you there for a completely different reason?

God has a funny way of using us in the times and situations where we least expect it. We call these divine appointments. Listen in as we learn how we can make a difference if we did what it says in James “Don't just listen to the word. Do what it says.”
