Your faith grows as you trust Jesus Christ and respond to His Word.

The Lord will direct His own in ways that will show our weakness and His strength.

Genuine faith will be lived out by people of faith.

The believer's steadfast confidence in God allows him to victoriously face new challenges.

"When trouble comes, the Lord is not distant - He sees you. The Lord is not deaf - He hears you. The Lord is not idle - He delivers you. The righteous may be broken hearted, but they are never abandoned. They may be afflicted, but are never forsaken. In the end, the God who was near in the night will stand with you in the light."

When you understand your identity in Christ, you will handle challenges within the church family for spiritual growth.

Jesus alone has the power to overcome evil, and that power is accessed not through self-reliance, but through humble, dependent faith expressed in prayer.

Learning to trust God means we have to learn to trust the Who more than the why.

Pastor Nathan explores Abraham's journey of faith, highlighting how his initial attempts to secure God's promises through his own schemes—like involving Lot and Eliezer—ultimately failed. He emphasizes that true confidence rests not in tangible possessions or human plans, but in a deep trust in God's character as a shield and exceeding great reward.

Pastor Jeff helps us explore a Christian perspective on loss, emphasizing that while painful experiences can challenge faith, they also present opportunities for deeper trust and worship. Drawing from the story of Ruth, he encourages that we acknowledge the reality of suffering while affirming God's sovereignty and presence, ultimately suggesting that loss can clarify dependence on God, strengthen hope, and allow for authentic ministry rooted in personal experience.
