Ever make a plan that completely falls apart?

Joseph did.

Joseph had his life mapped out—engagement, future, stability—until one moment changed everything. Confusion. Stress. Fear. Nothing was going according to plan. And that’s exactly where God stepped in.

This week, we’ll see that God doesn’t always explain the whole plan—but He does invite us to trust Him anyway. In the middle of Joseph’s silent struggle, God brings reassurance, clarity, and purpose. Joseph learns that obedience isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting the One who does.

Sometimes God shows up when we least expect it. Mary was just living a normal day when an angel dropped a message that changed everything. In this week’s message, we’re talking about how God still redirects ordinary people—students like you—into extraordinary purpose. When God calls you by name, speaks identity over you, and asks you to trust Him, your “yes” becomes the start of something bigger than you imagined.

Being thankful isn’t just for the easy days — it’s a powerful choice we make especially when life feels heavy. When we lift our eyes off the stress and onto God, gratitude becomes a lens that helps us see Him working even in the middle of the mess. Thankfulness reminds us that God is bigger than whatever feels overwhelming and that He’s building our faith, strengthening our trust, and shaping us through every season.

In a world that constantly pulls for our attention, it’s easy to overlook one of the greatest gifts God has given us — the Holy Spirit. In this message, we discover why we should be truly thankful for Him. The Holy Spirit is always with us, He empowers us with supernatural strength to live out our faith, and He transforms us from the inside out, growing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. 

 Today we talk about six things to be thankful when it comes to the Word of God. In a world full of noise, pressure, and confusion, God has given us something steady, powerful, and life-giving—His Word. This week we’re discovering why the Bible is more than a book on a shelf; it’s our source of strength, direction, identity, growth, and truth. Scripture feeds your spirit, lights your path, guards your heart, and anchors your faith. It plants seeds that transform your future and carries the power to cut through lies and bring real change. 

We’ve all got things we can thank God for — family, friends, good moments — but the greatest thing we could ever be thankful for is salvation. Jesus didn’t just give us a better life; He gave us new life. In a world that constantly tells us to chase what’s next, God invites us to stop and remember what He’s already done. This week we’re learning that real gratitude starts at the cross — where mercy met our mess, and grace gave us freedom.

In a world that’s always chasing what’s next, it’s easy to overlook what’s already in your hands. But when you stop to give thanks, something powerful happens — your heart begins to change. Gratitude shifts your focus from what’s missing to what God is doing right now. Being thankful isn’t just about good manners — it’s a spiritual habit that transforms your perspective, builds your faith, and opens your eyes to God’s goodness all around you.

We often think we’ve got time to figure out this whole “God thing” — that faith is something for later, when life gets serious. But the truth is, time is shorter than we think, and every moment matters. God isn’t waiting for you to be older, smarter, or more put together — He’s calling you now.

Doubt doesn’t disqualify you, and feeling distant doesn’t mean God is gone. Faith starts with a choice and grows into a journey — one that’s built on truth, not just emotion. Don’t wait for the perfect moment to believe… it’s already here.

 It’s easy to scroll, comment, or call people out—but Jesus calls us to something higher. In a world quick to cancel, He challenges us to check our hearts before pointing fingers, speak truth without throwing stones, and love people louder than labels. This week we’re learning how real love starts with grace and ends with truth—the kind of love that looks like Jesus.

So many people believe the fairy tale — that finding “the one” will finally make them complete. But the truth is, no relationship can fill the space only God was meant to occupy. When you seek Him first, He makes you whole and prepares you for real love that lasts. This week we’ll bust the myth of “happily ever after” and discover how wholeness comes from God, not another person.
