In this week’s message, A Thank Filled Heart, Pastor Brian teaches how gratitude shifts us out of carnal thinking and back into peace in Christ.Through Colossians 2, Mark 8, Romans 8, and Philippians 4, we learn how thanksgiving strengthens our faith, anchors our mind in the truth, and helps us overcome anxiety, pressure, and distraction. This message calls us to remember what God has done, resist the pull of culture and worry, and let the peace of God guard our heart and mind in Jesus.Scripture Focus: Colossians 2:8–10; Mark 8:13–21; Romans 8:5–8; Philippians 4:4–13; James 1:2–8

In this message, Pastor Diana Anderson teaches from the Parable of the Talents to show how our view of God shapes our entire life. Seeing Him as harsh leads to fear and hiding; seeing Him through Jesus as love Himself (1 John 4) frees us to trust, to partner, and to multiply what He’s placed in our hands.With a vivid picture of pruning and “compost” seasons, she explains how God uses what feels cut back or wasted to prepare the soil of our hearts for new fruit.A powerful word for anyone feeling pruned, discouraged, or afraid to hope again.

In this week’s message, The Divine Discipline of Our Father, Pastor Steve Dittmar teaches from Hebrews 12 on how God lovingly shapes His sons and daughters through endurance, correction, and spiritual training.Exploring the four kinds of endurance in the Christian life—the race set before us, the cross we carry, the hostility we face, and the Father’s discipline—Pastor Steve shows how difficult seasons are not punishment, but preparation.Through Hebrews 12, the story of Rehoboam in 2 Chronicles 12, and Esau’s lost birthright, this message calls us to value our inheritance in Christ, resist bitterness, and return again to the grace and holiness God desires for His people.If you’ve felt weary, discouraged, or stuck in your season, this message will help you find hope, purpose, and renewed faith in Jesus.Scripture Focus: Hebrews 12; 2 Chronicles 12; Genesis 25; Revelation 3; Psalm 51; 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18

"The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary." - Isaiah 50:4FAITH Beloved! As Believers in Christ, Paul says we walk by faith, not by what we see. 2 Cor. 5:7. Last week Pastor Brian spoke on "weary" meaning a continual punching in the eye and the need for FAITH! It's time to stop being led by earthly sight and wisdom. We have an entirely different culture, nature, and economy to operate from as Kingdom citizens. Let's commit to the work of the Kingdom to build one another up in our most holy faith! "All eyes on Jesus! All eyes on Jesus!"

All trials are meant to expose the heart and reveal the faith that God is looking to find. In the midst of the pressure of a trial, what I say—whether in prayer or to others—reveals the position of my heart.
