In Week 2 of our BEYOND series, we look at Joshua 2 and the story of Rahab—an unlikely woman whose courageous faith changed her future and impacted generations to come. As Israel stood before the walls of Jericho, the obstacles were real, but before the miracle came a step of intentional faith. Rahab chose to let go of the security of her city and trust in the God she had heard about—the One who parted the Red Sea and defeated mighty kings. Her scarlet cord became a powerful symbol of salvation and deliverance.

This message reminds us that faith doesn’t just believe—it acts. It prepares, it surrenders, and it steps forward even when the outcome isn’t fully visible.

In this message, we look at Joshua 1 and discover that every step into God’s future requires courage. Just as Joshua stood at the edge of the Promised Land, we too face moments where obedience demands faith.

Rooted in Ephesians 3:20 and modeled after Acts 1:8, this message casts vision for our BEYOND journey — strengthening our local church, serving our community, partnering cross-culturally, and reaching the nations. This is a call to go beyond today, beyond barriers, beyond our walls, and beyond ourselves, trusting God to do immeasurably more than we could ever ask or imagine.

Building Your Personal Prayer Altar explores God’s invitation to meet with Him in the secret place through intentional, daily prayer. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, the sacrificial system of the Old Testament, and Moses’ Tent of Meeting, this message reframes prayer as a living sacrifice—where we die to self, allow God to refine our hearts, and grow in intimacy with Him. Discover how building a personal prayer altar creates space for transformation, spiritual strength, and a deeper, life-giving connection with God that doesn’t happen by accident, but through intentional devotion.

Back to Bethel invites us to revisit the sacred places where God first met us and to renew our devotion. Drawing from Jacob’s journey in Genesis 28-35, this message explores how spiritual drift happens, how God lovingly invites us to return, and what it means to wrestle, surrender, and let go of the idols that compete for our hearts.

In this messsage, we explore the fourth altar that Abraham built in Genesis 22. The Altar of Submission is the place where Abraham laid down what he loved most, where God revealed His heart for life, and where surrender always comes before provision.

Abraham was a man of faith who regularly marked moments in life by building an altar. In this message, we explore three of the four altars Abraham built and discover their spiritual significance, and their application to our own journey of faith.

Throughout the Old Testament, God promised to send the Messiah. God had always been faithful to keep His promises and this provided hope for His people. In this messsage, we look at two people who waited with hope and discover the wonder of His hope.

Life is a journey, and all of us are searching for something. Meaning, purpose, identity, peace, hope, or joy. The story of the Magi depicts a journey that leads us to Jesus and leads us to joy. In this message, we follow the Magi to discover the key to experiencing the wonder of His joy.

The Wonder of His Peace is a theme that is woven throughout the Christmas story, but is especially prominent when we explore the angel’s message to the shepherds in Luke 2. In this message, we discover three insights about the wonder of His peace.

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with the news that she would carry God’s Son, everything changed. In her story—and in the birth of Jesus—we discover four powerful ways God’s love shapes our lives this Christmas.
