It’s rarely easy but always beneficial to exercise discipline in the face of great temptation. Whether it’s setting goals at work, exercising daily, or saving for the future, God wants to help us have the resolve we need to say “no” to good things so we can say “yes” to great things. As we wrap up this series, we will see how discipline, while difficult in the moment, brings the greatest of rewards.

During a long, tiring, and challenging season of life, it’s easy and even understandable why we would want to throw in the towel. From marriage to parenting, to the daily grind of work, it’s important to develop endurance because the race of life is long and demanding at times. This weekend we will look at how Paul refused to quit in the face of trial.

When we begin to believe that we deserve something, we tend not to be grateful for it. Complaining about poor service in a restaurant or slow internet service has become an acceptable norm in our society. In this message, we will look at the vital role gratitude can play in helping us see just how good God has been to us! We invite you this weekend as we see how Paul found gratitude amid a complaining culture.

Sometimes going with the motions seems so much easier. From peer pressure to social fads or the ever-present “everyone’s doing it!” justification. Choosing to stay committed is a lacking trait in our world today—applying to our jobs, marriages, and faith. In week 2 of Greater Reward, we are challenged to stay rooted in our commitments.

Life can be really hard and unfair at times and it’s especially difficult to have joy in the midst of those challenging seasons. From miscarriages, to being laid off at work, to not getting the grade you think you deserve, how we respond will determine the quality of our lives and our relationships. In this message, we will discover the source of joy that triumphs over the negativities of life.
