Discovery Church

All of us know what it's like to be in the belly of the fish. Where you were stuck, where you were depressed, where you were discouraged, where you were hurting and helpless and had no options. But what you do when you're in that place is what matters. Where you go with that pain is what makes all the difference. And it did for Jonah. He stopped running and turned to God.

God has done great things over the past twenty years through Discovery but we believe there is more, WAY MORE, that He wants to do in and through us!

God gives us grace in various forms. And so we want to avoid temptation if we can, but we can't always. God doesn't lead us into temptation, but sometimes He allows it in our lives. It's going to happen, but He promises it will never happen at a level where we can't get out of it.

I need forgiveness but what Jesus is saying is forgiveness comes with a condition. I can have it as much as I want it, but I have to give it. And I need to forgive others, like my forgiveness depends on it.

We're here today because Jesus surrendered his will to the will of God. He was willing to say Your kingdom come, Your will be done. That's why we're even here in the first place is because somehow Jesus knew that he could trust God over himself.

Just like in any other conversation or relationship, it is important to know who we are talking to and vice versa. The same goes for our relationship with Jesus. He deeply desires for us to know Him because He already knows us!

Have you ever talked to God honestly like you would a friend? The good news is...we can 100% go to God with all our doubts, questions, and even brutally honest thoughts. He can handle it. But most importantly, He wants to hear from us.

We can often get to a point in our lives where we question if we have a purpose. It's easy to lose sight of our purpose in this life but God wants to remind us that we are truly made for something great.

We have all been designed with a unique purpose. There is only one you! Listen in as Val talks about how we can discover the ways we have been gifted to live out our God given purpose.

What is our first calling or purpose in this life? What are we truly "made for"? Well...we are made for someone. And that someone is the Creator of the Universe who designed us personally with a unique purpose.
