What happens when disappointment makes you stop believing for more?

In Session 4 of Seek Week, Pastor Dusty Dean teaches from Luke 24 and Jesus’ words to His disciples: “Handle Me and see.”

The nail-scarred hands and feet of Jesus are evidence that the story isn’t over. God still has things He wants to put in your hands, places He wants to take you, and things He wants you to believe Him for.

Pastor Dusty challenges us not to settle into yesterday’s blessing, disappointment, failure, or unanswered prayer—but to seek God again, believe again, and come back to the table expecting more.

“Don’t build your theology around your disappointments. Build your faith around My presence.”

Anything He’s done before, He can do again. And anything He’s done somewhere else, He can do right here.

The fire in your heart for God has to be tended.In Session 2 of Seek Week, Pastor David Perkins walks through Peter’s commitment, failure, and restoration—and shows us what happens when we choose to come back to Jesus instead of pulling away in shame.When you fall short, don’t settle for distance. Approach the throne of grace. Receive mercy. Find grace. And stay close to the fire.

Closeness is the cure.If you feel anxious, distracted, uncertain, or far from God, the answer isn’t having everything figured out. It’s getting close to Him.During Seek Week, Pastor Robby Emery shares how Jesus came to restore what sin separated: our closeness with God. Through stories from his years with Michigan football, his own season of struggle, and a life-changing moment of hearing God’s voice, he challenges us to remove what keeps us distant and make the Father our first call.You don’t have to have all the answers. Just get close.

Seek Week starts here.Pastor Clayton Baird kicks off Seek Week 2026 with a challenge from Mark 9: come up the mountain.Before Peter, James and John could walk into what God had for them next, they had to get close enough to Jesus to listen, leave old thinking behind and see Him differently.Over the next few days, we’re making room to do the same.Come ready to seek God, hear His voice and receive fresh direction for the season ahead.Don’t miss your moment on the mountain.

What do you do when you need God to do what you cannot?

In this message, Pastor Dusty Dean shares how David positioned himself for breakthrough—not by relying on past victories, but by seeking God for a fresh word.

Through 1 Chronicles 14 and 2 Samuel 5, we learn that breakthrough begins with remembering what God has already done, recognizing that His blessing is bigger than us, and seeking His will before we move.

If you’re believing for breakthrough in your family, marriage, health, finances, relationships, or future, this message will challenge you to seek God again.

God doesn’t just give breakthroughs. He is the God of breakthrough.
