James and others share powerful stories of God’s faithfulness — stories of God’s freedom breaking into lives, His faithfulness in every season, and how He’s moving across our community and beyond. Let these stories stir us to “consider how we may have encourage one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24).

In a world of financial anxiety and uncertainty, Psalm 23 reminds us that the Lord is our Shepherd and our Resourcer. God breaks the power of lack, fear, and the devourer, inviting you to rest in His provision, receive His abundance, and walk in overflowing blessing—goodness and favor running after you all your days.

Alan shares today from Hebrews 10 as we look ahead to our Heart for the House Offering next week.

This offering isn’t primarily about where we are going or even what we are giving towards.

It’s about who we are becoming — a house of prayer, a people of worship.

Let’s remember who we are. Let’s declare what really matters. Let’s stir one another up with radical generosity. Let’s give with clarity. Let’s sow now into the story He is writing.

His House. His Presence. His Glory.

This is the hour of unwavering hearts: not only to endure, but to ignite. Unwavering hearts never stand alone; they awaken fire in others.    Hebrews 10:24–25 calls us to stir one another, to provoke love and good works, to refuse numb isolation and instead build a communion of courage. These hearts are not content to merely survive the shaking; they strengthen others in the storm. We lean in, lift up, and lock arms with the weary. We speak life into trembling voices. We call the hesitant out of hiding. We say, “Come, hold fast with me. He is faithful, and He will not fail us.”

Alan shares with us from Hebrews, exploring how we navigate the tension of holding on to a finished work in an unfinished world.

Jesus has done it—once for all. His blood speaks a better word, bringing healing to the hurting, wholeness to the broken, and hope to the weary. We’re not waiting for something better. His work is enough. What God has done holds us.

And yet… not all things are under His feet. It is finished—but not yet fulfilled. The Kingdom has broken in, but the world remains broken.

We live in the tension of the already and the not yet—holding fast to a finished work, while longing for its final unveiling.

Today, Alan shares from Psalm 71 as we launch our kids album, Shout for Joy.

This moment is more than an anointing. It’s more than an album. It’s more than an altar. It’s a declaration of absolute confidence in the God who never fails—the One who redeems, restores, renews, and empowers.

And so, we will always have hope. We will be a people of consuming hope—consumed by hope, conquering through hope. That’s the kind of heart we’re bringing into the days ahead.

Our heart is to establish a Dwelling Place—not just a good church.

The difference between a good church and a Dwelling Place is who it’s built for.

A good church is built for people to gather.

A Dwelling Place is built for God to come and remain.

It’s all about His Presence.

We choose faithfulness to His promise.

Faithfulness to His Presence.

Faithfulness to His heart.

Faithfulness to His house.

We are prioritizing His heart, His Presence, and His voice.

We are prioritizing His glory, His beauty, and intimacy with Him.

We don’t do this to become His Dwelling Place—

We do it because we already are.

In Hebrews 8, God says: “I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts… I will be their God, and they will be My people.” This is not a temporary deal—it’s a forever covenant. Forever house. Forever presence.

Sealed by the Spirit, promised by the Father, and bought by the Son, you’re not guessing if you belong. You’re not earning your place. You’re already home.

Hear the Spirit’s voice reminding you: You are sealed. You are included. You are empowered. You are family.

You don’t need to chase a feeling—you’ve been sealed with a Person. This is your moment to respond to His vow.

This week through Hebrews, we continue to define the relationship.

God isn’t just gathering followers, He’s forming a family. No-one gives birth so they can become an influencer or have a follower. You give birth to start a family. A forever family. And in a world where family is often fractured, God is forming a people. Not a crowd—a covenant family.

Today, Alan shares from Hebrews 8–9, where we see a God who doesn’t do temporary. He desires Forever Family. Forever Covenant. Forever House. Forever Presence.

God is not casual in His commitment. His covenant is unbreakable, His word unchanging, and His presence unwavering. This is about more than theology — it’s about the heartbeat of heaven: “I long to dwell with you.”
