The Israelites could have reached the Promised Land in eleven days, but their fear, rebellion, and unbelief turned the journey into forty years. Deuteronomy reminds us: we can either stay stuck in the wilderness or step into the life God has promised.In this message, we'll learn how to:1️⃣ Acknowledge the problem of sin and unbelief2️⃣ Change the headline of fear into God's truth3️⃣ Choose the better ending found in ChristGod goes before you, fights for you, and leads you into life. The choice is ours—fear or faith, death or life.

What do you do when you're stuck between God's promise and His provision?From Elijah at the brook to the widow at Zarephath, Scripture shows us that God's provision often comes through His direction. The question is — will we trust, listen, and follow even when the brook runs dry?

It's easy to look back on “the good old days” and forget what they really cost us. Israel longed for Egypt, rewrote their past, misplaced their pain, and feared a future that hadn't even happened. This message unpacks how nostalgia, trauma, and fear can hold us back—and how Jesus rescues us to move forward in faith.

Most people know the names Joshua and Caleb. Almost no one remembers the other ten.They all saw the same land. The same fruit. The same giants.But only two saw hope where the others saw defeat.This message is a reminder that when you fixate on fear, you'll forget the fruit God already showed you. Look again—there's more going right than you think.

Sometimes the most honest truth doesn't come from within—it comes from someone who loves you enough to challenge you. Jethro didn't just visit Moses; he confronted two lies we still tell ourselves today: “I'm fine” and “This only affects me.” His wisdom reminds us that Godly perspective can save us from burnout—and lead us back to peace.

It's possible to be in the room and still miss what God is doing.This message looks at the story of Eutychus — a young man who fell asleep during Paul's teaching — and what it teaches us about spiritual alertness, presence, and community.Because staying spiritually awake is about more than just staying in the room.#Acts20 #StayAwake #SpiritualLife #FaithAndFocus #Eutychus

It hurts the most when it comes from people who claim to follow Jesus. Church hurt is real—but it doesn't have to define your faith. Don't let what a few people did to you keep you from what Jesus did for you.

Faith and doubt often live in the same heart. Like the father in Mark 9, we believe—yet we still struggle. This message reminds us that even in our uncertainty, Jesus meets us with compassion, not condemnation. He still moves when we pray, “Help my unbelief.”

God isn't looking for perfect—He's looking for available. Moses had doubts, fears, and excuses… but God still called him. This message explores what it really means to be ready: when you're willing to be the answer, surrender your reputation, and say yes—no matter what it looks like.

David had every reason to take the shortcut—but he chose surrender over control, patience over pressure, and character over convenience. In a culture that praises instant results and revenge, this message challenges us to trust God's timing, obey His voice, and wait well. Just because you could… doesn't mean you should.

When Elijah felt isolated, exhausted, and done—God met him with a whisper, not a storm. If you've ever believed the lie that you're alone or that you don't matter anymore, this message is for you. God still sees you. You're not forgotten, and you're not finished.

What if the small battles you're facing are actually preparing you for something greater? David didn't just show up to fight Goliath—he was already walking in purpose. When you trust the process, honor the season, and face your giant, you'll see: none of it was random. It was all significant.

What happens when you're found exactly where you're supposed to be? Even as a kid, Jesus was locked into His Father's purpose. This message invites us to stay connected, seek God's vision, and grow right where we are.

Are you afraid of looking foolish? Bartimaeus wasn't. He cried out to Jesus—and everything changed. Sometimes breakthrough starts with bold faith.

David worshiped with reckless abandon—and got judged for it. This message challenges us to worship not for appearance, but for what it reveals: what we value, what we've been through, and what we believe. Worship like a fool… for the One who's worthy.

Hannah was heartbroken, unheard, and misunderstood—except by God. This message is a reminder that even when no one else gets it, God does. Peace isn't found in getting what you want, but in giving your heart fully to Him.

Naaman had a big problem—but an even bigger pride issue. This message unpacks how humility opens the door to God's healing and grace.

Why doesn't Jesus just take away our problems? In this message, we explore how faith is often built not through easy answers, but through storms we don't expect. Using the story of Peter walking on water (Matthew 14), we ask four personal questions: What's my boat? What's my step? What's my obstacle? And most importantly—who is my Savior? If you've ever felt like Jesus was distant in your struggle, this message is for you.

1. It's up to ME to HELP one more person find and follow Jesus.2. It's up to GOD to SAVE someone who is lost.

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time.1 Timothy 2:1-6 NIV
