How do you discern the call of God on your life? Sometimes hearing from God can feel difficult. This week, Pastor Jon led us through Acts 16, and the requirements we need to hear God’s call for us.

1. We need closed doors. While they can initially seem like lost opportunities, how you navigate closed doors can be what your calling is contingent upon.

2. We need word from God. God often speaks to his people through the Word itself, along with through biblically wise people, dreams, and the Holy Spirit.

3. We need a willing heart to go. God grows a heart that is willing to go, and is waiting on our yes and surrender to his plan.

Don’t be a Christian who just professes faith, but one who also possesses faith. Remember that faithfulness is the prerequisite to a word from God. We’ll see you next Tuesday, Paradigm! 🕊️

In this message we tackled a big question: What happens to people who never hear about Jesus?

Walking through Romans, we were reminded that God has made Himself known through creation. Yet all of us have rejected Him, fallen short of His glory, and stand in need of a Savior.

The bad news is that everyone is guilty.

The good news is that everyone can be saved.

Not by good works. Not by religion. Not by trying harder. We are justified by grace through faith in Jesus alone.

But the message doesn’t stop there.

Romans 10 reminds us that everyone who has put their faith in Jesus has been given a mission: make Him known. We are called to bring the hope of the gospel to the people around us.

This week’s challenge was simple:

Find someone who is spiritually lost.

Invite them into your life.

Build a genuine relationship.

Ask them about their faith.

The gospel is too good to keep to ourselves. 🤍

In this message we wrap up Romans with a message on “The Cure to a Numb Soul” 🤍

Romans 16 reminded us that faith was never meant to be distant or surface level. Paul made ministry personal. He knew names, valued people, and understood that real gospel impact happens through intentional relationships.

Being personal matters because it pulls us out of self-sufficiency, reminds us of the beauty in everyday faithfulness, and helps us live with purpose instead of just blending into the crowd.

We were also reminded that peace is worth pursuing. In a world full of division and distraction, God invites us to make peace a priority because He is the God of peace.

And finally, our posture matters. No matter the season, the invitation is to live with praise. To remember who God is, what He’s done, and let worship shape the way we live.

Maybe the cure to a numb soul isn’t doing more, but getting personal, pursuing peace, and choosing praise 🤍

In this message we talk about Holy Ambition through Romans 15 🤍

We were reminded that you never graduate from the gospel. No matter how long you’ve followed Jesus, we never outgrow our need for Him. The gospel isn’t just where faith begins, it’s what sustains us.

Paul’s ambition was clear: to bring the gospel to places and people who had never heard it. That challenged us to ask an honest question: What is my ambition, and does it align with the heart of God?

A holy ambition is rooted in Scripture, involves the church, meets real needs, and is covered in prayer. It’s not about building our own name, but joining God in His mission and helping people encounter Jesus.

So what are we building our lives around?

Is our ambition making much of ourselves or making Jesus known?

Let’s be people who live with purpose, meet needs, and get behind the mission in prayer 🤍

In this message we walk through Romans 13 and talk about how God transforms our everyday lives 🤍

Real transformation happens when we submit every area of our lives to God. Even in places where we don’t always understand authority, timing, or circumstances, God is still using those things to shape us and grow us.

We were reminded that time is valuable. Every day matters, and God wants to use our lives intentionally for His kingdom. The invitation isn’t just to avoid sin, but to wake up spiritually and recognize that God is actively sanctifying us right now.

Romans 13 also challenged us to love people well. We’re called to live with genuine love, walk in humility, and be a light in a dark world.

God wants to wake us up to the life He’s calling us into. The question is: are we willing?

In this message, Pastor Chad talks through Romans 12 and what it looks like to actually live in biblical community 🤍

Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. We need each other.

Here are the 4 things every believer needs:

1️⃣ COMMUNITY — God didn’t create us to do life alone. Get planted in a local church and surround yourself with people who push you closer to Jesus.

2️⃣ PURPOSE — Every person has gifts God wants to use. Don’t sit on what He placed inside of you. Step into your calling. (Romans 12:4-8)

3️⃣ LOVE FOR THE FAMILY — Real community looks like honoring one another, praying together, being patient, and showing genuine love.

4️⃣ LOVE FOR THE WORLD — We’re called to reflect Jesus everywhere we go. Love people well, serve others, and be a light outside the church walls.

“Love must be sincere. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:9

Pastor Jon walks us through Romans 11 to find a clearer view of God’s mercy 🤍

“Has God cast away His people?” Certainly not. God is faithful to His promises and His people. Even when we can’t see it, He is still working, and His plan is not based on our performance.

We were reminded that God will stop at nothing to reach the lost. He uses everything with purpose, even things we don’t fully understand, to draw people to Himself.

At the same time, this chapter calls us to humility. Salvation is a gift of grace. We don’t stand because of who we are, but because of Jesus.

And when life feels confusing, we can trust this

God’s ways are higher

His timing is intentional

His mercy is deeper than we know

Pastor Chad talks about our part in salvation through Romans 10 🤍

God doesn’t just save us, He sends us. We’re invited to be messengers of the gospel to the people around us.

We were challenged to actually see the need. This generation is spiritually open, but many don’t truly know God or His righteousness. People are searching, but they need the truth of Jesus.

The gospel is the only message that truly changes lives. It’s not about having it all together or being perfect. God isn’t asking for your performance, He’s asking for your yes.

You don’t have to be the most knowledgeable or eloquent. God wants your willingness. People don’t just learn from platforms, they learn from you.

So what do we do

We learn the message

We live it out

We share it wherever we go

If you know Jesus, you’re already sent.

Our response

Pray for those who are going

Pray for those who are giving

Live your life like you’ve been sent 🤍

In this message, we continue our Romans part II series by studying Romans 9, and learning about God’s sovereignty in salvation. God is sovereign in the process of salvation, and He invites us to be part of the process.

First, we must have an active burden for the lost; for those who don’t know Christ. We can grow in our burden for the lost by praying for them, and by preparing ourselves to help them grow their faith.

Second, we must have the knowledge of these truths about salvation:

1. That God initiates salvation (vs. 9-13).

2. God gives mercy (vs. 14-18).

3. God does everything for His glory (vs. 19-24).

4. God gives salvation (vs. 25-33).

Sometimes it can be hard to see these truths because of our own arrogance, but we study the Word of God so that we can think rightly about the ways of God. You have been chosen and saved by God Almighty, and we can respond to these truths by simply coming to Christ.
