This week’s message is all about eternal investment. Jesus calls us to store up treasure in heaven, not in things that fade, but in things that last forever. The truth is, we may never fully see the return on our time or our giving this side of eternity… but one day, we will. And when we do, it’ll be worth every second and every sacrifice. We’re not just giving, we’re building. Let’s Build the Church.

In 1 Samuel 15, Saul disobeys a direct command from God, and the consequences are devastating. God takes our disobedience seriously, and so should we. This message will help us examine why we disobey, whether it’s pride, misunderstanding, or a lack of trust, and call us to a deeper relationship with God where His wisdom shapes our will. If our hearts remain cold toward the consequences of sin, it’s time to ask God to show us the truth and renew our faith in the gospel.

This Sunday isn’t just about giving thanks, it’s about remembering. We’ll gather for our final Thanksgiving celebration in this building, and we’re marking the moment with a special service reflecting on the years of faithfulness, growth, and grace we've experienced here. From the very beginning to today, God has been so good, and we want to honor His hand through it all.Let’s fill this house with gratitude one more time.

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 107:1

In 1 Samuel 14, Jonathan and his armor-bearer take a bold leap of faith. Just the two of them against a Philistine army. But with hearts fully entrusted to God, their small step led to a miraculous victory. When faith is activated through prayer and right motives, the impossible becomes possible. Don’t wait for the numbers, trust God, step out, and believe for the miraculous.

In this chapter, Saul makes a foolish vow and chases achievement at the cost of wisdom, and it marks the beginning of the end of his leadership. His story reminds us: just because something looks like success doesn’t mean it’s from God. If your hope rises and falls with earthly leaders, you may be living in their kingdom more than His. Put your trust in the King who never fails.

In 1 Samuel 13, Saul’s impatience costs him everything. Instead of waiting for Samuel, he takes matters into his own hands and shows what happens when fear overrides faith. Don’t rush what God has promised. True obedience means trusting His timing, even when pressure mounts and answers feel delayed.

In 1 Samuel 12, Samuel steps down as Israel’s leader, but not without reminding the people of who God is and what He’s done. Even after failure, God still delights to save. Don’t be afraid, remember His character, trust His forgiveness, and keep walking in obedience. His faithfulness is your foundation

In Matthew 6, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for the birds and flowers, He’ll surely care for us too. His faithfulness isn’t just comforting, it’s our defense against anxiety. But when we don’t trust Him, we risk missing out on His promises and misrepresenting His goodness to the world. Let’s live lives that show peace is possible, because we know who holds tomorrow.

We’re continuing our series on Christian Joy, but this week we’re zooming in on the faithfulness of God. From creation to the cross, and even in our lowest moments. God’s steadfast love has never failed. Let this message lead you to joy rooted not in your circumstances, but in the unchanging character of a faithful God.

Scripture focus:

1 John 1:8–9 • Romans 5:7–8 • Romans 3:1–4 • Psalm 136:23–26

At first glance, it’s Saul’s first military victory. But look closer, this is a prophetic picture of Christ defeating the enemy, breaking the chains of bitterness, and leading His people into freedom. Don’t let unforgiveness take root. Follow the King who won the victory on the Cross and still leads us in triumph today.
