Resilience—Flexibility
Weekend Scripture: Acts 8
Resilience is the capacity to maintain core purpose and identity in the face of dramatically changing circumstances.
Scott dives into Acts 8 to explore flexibility as we finish our series on Resilience. Persecution scattered the early church, but God leveraged changing circumstances to spread the Gospel as Philip faithfully obeyed and shared Jesus. A resilient church stands firmly on the Word of God, the power of God, and the mission of God to reach one more person with the life-changing news of Christ.

Resilience—Strength
Weekend Scripture: Acts 3-4
Resilience is both strong and flexible.
Carl Kuhl joins us to kick off our series on Resilience. We need the strength of resilience to resist temptation. In Acts 3 and 4, we see that resilient strength is ready at unpredictable times, grounded in Scripture, and unwavering in proclaiming the full truth of Jesus. Resilient strength is formed in the Church, so get in the Word, get in community, give, and serve.

Faith—The Sacrifice
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 22
Do you have unwavering trust in God's character and promises?
Ben Foote joins us to wrap up our series on Faith. In Genesis 22, we see God test Abraham's faith by stretching it to its absolute limits. Yet, Abraham demonstrates faith, an unwavering trust that God would remain faithful to His character and to His promises. May we make the sacrifices our God is commanding us to make, and trust His promise that life waits for us on the other side.

Faith—The Shortcut
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 16
Where do you turn when you feel like God is not operating on your timetable?
This week, Scott dives into Genesis 16 to look at what happens when we try to outrun God’s timetable. Weary of waiting a decade for the heir God promised, Abram and Sarai chose a shortcut, introducing bitterness and chaos that rippled across generations. Taking shortcuts around God's clear plan always brings pain, but true faith requires trusting His timeline and remaining obedient in the waiting room. The waiting may be difficult, but God has not abandoned us.

Faith—The Covenant
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 15
Faith is not polished and pristine. Faith is messy, gritty, and raw.
Scott Hatfield walks us through Genesis 15 as we continue our series on Faith. Coming out of warfare, Abraham gets radically honest with God about his deep disappointments, grief, and unmet expectations. Instead of shaming him, God meets Abraham with grace, steps in as his personal shield, and provides an undeniable reminder of His covenant promise. Hard, gut-wrenching prayers are still prayers, and our frustrations do not disqualify our faith. You were never meant to take the pen and write your own story. God, the Author, is personal, and He is inviting you to a life of faith. Let Him write your story.

Faith—The Gift
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 13
Sometimes we have to trust when our eyes can’t see.
Matt walks us through Genesis 13 as we continue our series on Faith. When faith essentially comes down to whether or not we believe God is telling the truth, do we trust His intentions towards us? Walking by faith means that we trust in God’s mercy, we trust in God’s grace, we trust in God’s provision, and we trust in God’s promises. We may not be able to see the outcome ahead, but we can look for Jesus and trust Him. So walk by faith. All it takes is one step.

Faith—The Detour
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 12
Where do you turn when life throws a wrench in your plans?
This week, Lydia dives into Genesis 12:10-20 as we continued our series: Faith. When a severe famine tested his faith, Abram chose a path of fear and detoured to Egypt, falling into a pit of failure by lying to save himself. Yet, the story reminds us that our rescue never depends on our own perfection, but entirely on God's unwavering faithfulness. When you face a crossroads, choose to follow Him in obedience and leave the outcomes in His hands.

Faith—The Call
Weekend Scripture: Genesis 12
Sometimes we try to fix the things only God can fix and forget to do the only thing we can do, which is to obey Him.
Scott jumps into Genesis 12 as we launch a new series on Faith. Sometimes we ask God to bless our desires, but God will not bless our sin. Sometimes the most loving thing God does is allow us to learn that the thing we want more than Him won’t satisfy us. There is a constant competition for our hearts, but faith is demonstrable trust that God is who He says He is and will do everything He’s promised to do.

Joy—Philippians 4
Weekend Scripture: Philippians 4
Joy is not produced. It is received from Christ.
Matt Proctor joins us to dive into Philippians 4 and finish out our series on Joy. Paul states that he knows the secret of facing any and every circumstance: reliance on Christ. If you belong to Jesus, you will be marked by joy because joy is at the very heart of God. This will be evident in your generosity and in your commitment to community. Jesus is the source of our joy. Paul says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." So when you need to find your joy, rely on Jesus, not yourself. Abide in Him.

Joy—Philippians 3
Weekend Scripture: Philippians 3
Who have you placed your confidence in?
Scott leads us through Philippians 3 as we continue our series on Joy. Everyone has credentials, things we think can "get us in" to where we want to go. Paul has a lot of religious credentials, even claiming to be blameless under the law. But instead of boasting, Paul says to count it all as loss and exhorts the church at Phillipi that the only credentials that matter, the only One we can place our confidence in, is Jesus. You really get to know Jesus when everything you hold dear is stripped away, and all you have is Him, proving His faithfulness and giving you joy in the pain. When you sin, fall short, and mess up, you can remind yourself, “I know a guy… His name is Jesus.”

Joy—Philippians 2
Weekend Scripture: Philippians 2
To live is Christ and to die is gain.
Scott walks us through Philippians 2. Jesus poured Himself out, emptying Himself of the riches of heaven so that we could be saved by His grace. According to Paul, Jesus said that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The most joyful life is the one spent for Jesus, reaching lost and broken people. The path to being full of joy is emptying yourself out. If you aren’t experiencing the joy of Jesus, it’s because you aren’t emptying yourself out for Jesus.

Joy—Philippians 1
Weekend Scripture: Philippians 1
Choose joy when the future is uncertain.
Carl Kuhl joins us to launch our new series on Joy. In Philippians 1, Paul sets an example for the church at Philippi to practice gratitude and choose joy no matter their circumstances. If you want to be confident that God is not done, double down on gratitude. Join the battle, link arms with your church family, and fight through prayer. Our hope is in Jesus, and He has the eternal victory.
