Grit is passion and perseverance toward a goal despite difficult obstacles, and believers need to possess grit. Pastor Bianca Olthoff teaches us that when we are willing to change our perspective, remember our purpose, and pivot when necessary, we become people who possess the grit needed to fight for all God has called us to. 

Often, Jesus answers our prayer in the form of an assignment. Pastor Daniel uses the story of the leper in Luke 17 as a reminder that when Jesus answers our prayers, we should always return with humility, gratitude, and praise. 

Despite all that life may throw at us, good and godly friends are a blessing that can help us overcome difficulties. Pastor Dino Rizzo uses the story of the lame man in the Bible whose friends brought him to Jesus as an example of the kind of friend we should look for and be.

You live out what is rooted in the soil of your life. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we allow God to define us, our identity will be rooted in Him and we will live the lives He intended for us. 

The Lord has called us to be the salt of the earth, and to be effective in this we must cultivate intimacy with Jesus. Aaron Judkins teaches us that we discover this intimacy through a prayer life filled with intentionality, honesty, and the desire to truly listen to the voice of God. 

Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” On this Vision Sunday, Pastor Daniel reminds us that the ultimate vision of the Church is to help people know God, find freedom, discover purpose, and make a difference.

When we face pressure, we can either allow it to confine us or refine us. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we listen to the voice of God, ready to put in the work, we can trust that God will bring us out of the cave of confinement and into His glorious will. 

When opportunities or trials knock at our door, do we answer with fear or with faith? Pastor Daniel challenges us to make sure our faith aligns with God’s timing, will, and way. 

In life, we will inevitably face a problem which we do not possess the earthly power to solve. Pastor Daniel teaches us that when we discard assumptions, lean into the uncomfortable, and humble ourselves, we make room for God to work in the supernatural. 

Despite what the world may teach, enjoyment is a gift that comes directly from God and is not contingent on our circumstances. Pastor Carolyn Haas teaches us that our souls must first have the integrity to handle the weight of our dreams, and then God will be faithful in pouring our wisdom, knowledge, and happiness.
