Friend, we can all feel beaten down in life, struggling with challenges, changes in our circumstances, or anything else. But a thorough look into God's word, and you will find it filled with people who felt beaten or beaten by life circumstances. But then, God shines through. He has given us all we need to live in this life. He gave us His Holy Spirit. To know him, to trust him, to daily surrender to Him. This is so vital for the Christianlife. It is not doing life in our own strength but in His, with his enablement and empowerment through the Holy Spirit. So, lean in, trust God, talk to God, read your bible, obey God, and be led by the Holy Spirit. That’s how you can start to live an unbeatable Life.

It is because of the faith we have received that we can all experience freedom in Christ. Freedom from the drain of sin, the damage of sin. God gives us faith to enable us to live in His power through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Ken unpacksfor us the importance of justification. That is why every day is an essential day for the gospel and building faith. The Christian life is far more than a theological concept; it needs to be a theological experience.

Hey friends, no second guesses about the focus of today’s message — that’s right, “Hello Anxiety.”

Friends, we are living in a time filled with more distractions, more options, more technology, and more voices competing for our attention than ever before. In the middle of all of that, we must learn to stop, slow down, breathe, and listen. What is God saying to your spirit today? Through God’s Word, we are able to see anxiety for what it really is. Not only can we manage anxiety, but we can transfer it into the care of God. Life brings challenges, pressure, and stress. And yes — we can easily begin to worry, fear, or even imagine the worst.

But God invites us to come to Jesus, bringing everything that weighs us down, in prayer, believing that with Him we are becoming healthier, freer, stronger, and filled with hope.

So be aware of anxiety—what fuels it, what triggers it, and what opens the door to it—but never allow it to control you.

With Christ, anxiety does not have thefinal say.

A lot can happen in a single day—as a new day begins, as seen in Matthew chapter nine, which is filled with Jesus’s ministry: breakthroughs, transformations, healings, miracles, and even raising the dead. At the end of this eventful day, Jesus sends out his disciples, facing head-on the challenge of the kingdom harvest and embracing kingdom life in the present. May you draw encouragement and hope from this, especially whenconfronted by life's challenges, busyness, and demands, and may your prayers inspire prayers for new harvesters.

God has modelled very specifically how to overcome fear and disabling dread. The most epic fail of what fear can do as it intrudes on God's plans for your life. As seen in believing God's promises are for you to take possession of the land He has promised. God breaks it down as a model that works if we work it into our daily lives. It's not rocket science, it's not mysterious or vague. God, say you don’t need fear to interfere with your life. You need to release your faith, receive what God is showing you, and allow faith to speak over fear, holding on tightly.

Today's message is a powerful reminder that God's grace is a profound force in our lives, serving as the source of every promise and blessing we receive. It is through grace that God's heart responds to us, providing what we need forourselves and the benefit of others. Grace supplies all the necessary promises, Salvation, blessings, and practical responses from God's heart to our lives. Grace is the means by which God enable us, empowers us, fills us, and keeps us. Grace is where we stand in faith and how we walk in confidence and assurance of faith.

In today's world, where fear and propaganda are widespread, it's easy to become overwhelmed. Fear is profitable for many. Yet, we are encouraged to confront our fears, acknowledge them, and claim our freedom from them. The Scriptures state that God has not given us a spirit of fear. Life can be difficult,especially when it feels like a spiritual struggle. However, there's hope: God's word explains how fear and dread might take hold of us, but also shows us a path to freedom, reminding us that we are not meant to return to a life controlled by fear.

We all know we are living in a time of darkness. We are alsoliving in an appointed, strategic, opportune, heaven ordained time. However, in that darkness, the children of God are the light that shines bright. God is casting his fisher’s net across the earth, resulting in multitudes being saved into His kingdom.

Is there a difference between being grateful and thankful? Probably not much. Both words are used to show appreciation.

David goes on to tell the story of the 10 lepers and shares how being grateful and thankful are not natural behaviours, but learnt.

On this Anniversary Celebration Sunday, we shared a fresh “now word” for UBC, capturing the heart of God’s mission for us today. Following this, Pastor Matt Garvin, our incoming Mission Director, gave a powerful message on the kingdom of God. He reminded us that we are not to adopt the patterns and principles of the world, but instead to live differently—and better—because of Christ. He also challenged us to consider the reality of the moment we are in, highlighting four temptations that churches often face and fail to respond to, unless they remain rooted in God’s kingdom.
