Jesus Is the Hero of the Story – Week 6
Facing Giants (1 Samuel 17)

When the giants of life seem too big to face, where do we find courage? In the story of David and Goliath, we’re reminded that our confidence doesn’t come from our strength but from the victory that’s already been won. As we fix our eyes on Jesus, remember His faithfulness, and step forward in faith, we can face every battle knowing the outcome has already been secured.

Living with Confidence When Obedience Costs (Daniel 3)

What do you do when obedience to God comes at a cost? In the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we see how faith isn’t proven by comfort but by conviction. Because Jesus has already secured our rescue, we can stand with courage, endure opposition, and experience peace—even in the fire. He is with us, and He is enough.

Available (Judges 6:11–16, 25–32; 7:15–23)

God doesn’t wait for the capable—He works through the available. In Gideon’s story, we see that God’s power is not limited by our past, our fear, or our weakness. He calls us to obedience, not because we’re strong enough, but because He is. Jesus is the greater Gideon—our peace, our victory, and the proof that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things when they trust in Him.

Trapped, Tested… and Triumphant (Exodus 14)

When fear floods in and you feel trapped, how do you trust that God is fighting your battles? In this message, we see how God’s deliverance of Israel at the Red Sea points us to the greater victory we have in Jesus. Even when the way forward seems impossible, God is present, at work, and inviting us to trust Him—because He alone makes a way.

From Pit To Purpose (Genesis 37–50)

What others meant to break you, God will use to build you. In Joseph’s story, we see how betrayal, brokenness, and burdens can become the very places where God works out His greater purpose. Even when life feels out of control, God’s hand is steady, His grace is present, and His story is still being written—one that ultimately points us to Jesus, who redeems what was meant for harm and turns it into hope.

The Grace That Provides Faith (Genesis 22:1–14)

When your faith is tested, how do you trust in the grace God provides? In this message, we see how Abraham’s obedience points us to a greater truth: God doesn’t just require faith—He provides the grace to walk in it. As we release what we’re gripping, respond when it’s grueling, and rely on God’s provision, we’re reminded that Jesus is the Lamb God provided at just the right time.

In the final message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 5:13–20 shows us what real faith looks like when life hits hard. Faith doesn’t fold under pressure—it shows up. Whether it’s through prayer in pain, partnership in struggle, or pursuing those who have drifted, true wisdom leads us to live out our faith with boldness and compassion. Listen as we discover how the gospel empowers us to walk with strength, honesty, and love—no matter what comes our way.

James 5:12 calls us out of dishonesty and into a life of honesty shaped by the gospel. Dishonesty often stems from a desire to protect ourselves, control outcomes, or manage how we’re perceived—but it ultimately robs us of freedom, intimacy, transformation, and joy. The gospel confronts and exposes our dishonesty, but it also empowers us to live with integrity and truth. Listen as we learn how to let our "yes" be yes and our "no" be no in a way that reflects a heart changed by Christ.

In the eleventh message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 5:1-11 reminds us that impatience can stir up strife, but patience shapes us into people of strength. Impatience corrupts our perspective, fuels fear, and often hurts others, while patience builds endurance and trust in God's unseen work. Like the bamboo tree that grows strong beneath the surface before it’s ever seen, God is growing something in us as we wait. Listen as we learn to trust God’s timing and let patience take root.

In the tenth message of our Wisdom From Above series, James 4:13-17 reminds us of the danger of making plans without God. When we schedule God out of our plans, we often schedule regret into our future. James challenges us to pause our presumptions, pursue God’s purpose, and practice what we know to be true. Listen as we learn how to live with humility, dependency, and obedience in every decision we make.
