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.

Pastor Ken emphasizes the importance of a holistic Christian life, urging believers to apply God's word personally and share it purposefully, recognizing that faithfulness in word, conduct, and spirit is essential for both personal growth and influencing others. It highlights the need to overcome opposition through integrity, prioritize biblical truth, utilize spiritual gifts, and remain vigilant in guarding against worldliness, ultimately asserting that perseverance in faith provides assurance of salvation and impacts those who observe a life dedicated to Christ.

In this message, we explore how pain, loss, and unanswered questions can deepen our faith, reveal God's purpose, and show that true lament is an act of worship, not weakness.

A person striving to be a good minister must intentionally commit to a system of spiritual growth.

Every believer has an obligation to know God's Word and guard against deviations from the truth.
