Do you ever feel stuck, like you're going through the motions alone? In this sermon, Pastor Steve shares a powerful truth: "Without authentic community, we're just in crowded isolation, because getting unstuck is not about what you know, it's about who you're with." This message challenges the lie of a "Me and Jesus" faith, revealing how the enemy uses isolation to keep us stuck and defeated. Drawing on the Book of Acts, Steve shows that the Christian faith is, and always has been, a community faith. When we connect with Jesus and His people, we find the freedom and healing we've been looking for. If you're ready to break free from crowded isolation and experience the power of authentic community, this message is for you.

Today's Promise: Psalm 9:10 When you know the Lord, you trust Him. The more you know the Lord, the more you will trust Him. God reveals Himself through His Word. The Bible gives us a clear understanding of who God is and what He is like. However, knowing God is more than just knowing facts about God. God's Word promises that we can know God personally. Because you know Him so well, you trust Him completely. You know that when you knock on God's door, He always answers and is ready to come to your aid.
All knowledge, power, and revelation are entrusted to Christ. Jesus is the sole Mediator. “No one knows the Father except the Son and those he chooses to reveal him to...” The knowledge of God is obtained solely through the Son, and outside of Christ, there is nothing but blindness. Furthermore,the text says, “to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.” This is a decisive statement of effectual calling. The initiative in salvation lies not in man's will, but in Christ's sovereign will.

As we set out on life's true adventure, following our Savior, Jesus, it is critical that we know and love His Word. Why? We will face many trials and hardships along the way.

You can't walk in your calling until you walk with the Caller. In this powerful episode, we break down Psalm 18 and uncover 6 names David used to describe the Lord—Rock, Fortress, Deliverer, Strength, Shield, and High Tower. Why does this matter? Because before you do anything with God, you have to believe something about Him. Hebrews 11:6 says you must believe that He exists—and that He rewards those who seek Him. David didn't just serve God. He knew Him. And that intimacy was the key to every battle he won, every psalm he penned, and every legacy he left behind. If you feel like you're striving, stuck, or spiritually dry, this episode will reignite your faith, restore your perspective, and root you deeper in God's character.
