Today's Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-10 Jesus is the Better that makes perfect — the One who carries our burdens, brings forgiveness, and makes us whole. This week we're fixing our eyes on Him, not our circumstances, but the joy set before us. What are some things that can hinder your faith or keep you from moving forward with God? What might it look like for you to "throw them off"?

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:32-40 What is the world really worth? Even the wealth and the whole physical planet don't compare to what God calls us to live for. This week we look at the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11 — imperfect, unlikely people who served where they were, used what they had, and did what they could as warriors and witnesses for God's cause. What is one "next step" God may be asking you to take right now, and what might it look like to simply say, "Jesus, here's all of me for all of you"?

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:17-31 There's an invitation to live Further Up, Further In. Faith is the door — don't leave home without it. At the heart of faith is the decision to trust. What makes it difficult for you to trust God, especially when you cannot see how a situation will turn out?

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:10-16 Today's secularism says this life is all there is — but Pastor Bill unpacks what it means to set your heart on eternity and live for more than this world, the next step in the "Next Level Life" message series through Hebrews 11. How might an eternal perspective change the way you approach the challenges and decisions of everyday life?

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-9 The message challenges us not to miss our moment and reminds us that sometimes God calls us to act, while other times He calls us to wait.

Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:7 "By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family." Long before the storm ever hit, Noah trusted God's warning and acted. That's the kind of faith that can save a family today too. What if you could give your kids what they need to face any storm in life? How can we intentionally help the next generation develop a genuine relationship with God — and what's one practical step you can take this week?

Title: Seeing God's Vision Today's Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-6 Have you ever heard, "Faith is believing something you know isn't true?" If you ever want to truly grow in Christ, it is essential that you learn the difference between make-believe and real believing. What is real faith? How does it work? What does it look like? What is your next step of faith? Is there an area—finances, family, relationships, a difficult circumstance, or something else—where God may be inviting you to trust Him more deeply? What practical step could you take this week?

Jesus sees us truly, loves us fully, restores what sin tears apart, dignifies those the world overlooks, calls the young, heals the wounded. Let’s continue becoming the kind of church that honors the dignity of every image-bearer, fighting for the faith of the next generation.

Liberty isn’t only an American aspiration. It’s a gospel promise for every person who trusts in Jesus. The Declaration may name liberty as a right endowed by the Creator, but Jesus reveals what liberty is for. We were not made to live in bondage to sin. We were made to live under the gracious and liberating reign of our true King and Father!

Today’s Scripture: Galatians 3:26-28 Let the church be the place where the world gets a preview of what true equality looks like. We need to ask - What kind of people are we becoming? What values are we living? Where do those values come from? Do we merely admire them in history, or do we embody them in our lives? “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.” The Declaration said it. Lincoln fought to move the nation closer to it. But long before that, God had already spoken it in creation. The redeemed people of God from every tribe and tongue will stand before His throne and prove that in Christ equality is not just a phrase to quote – but a people, community, body to become.

Today’s Scripture: Luke 9:35What does it mean to know this Jesus? To be changed by him?  To give him the respect he's due?  To marvel in who Jesus truly is?  To worship and serve him as God? To let him show us the Father? To let our fathering follow his? Maybe we could get to know the Father through the Son and love him back because He first loved us.  God is a loving Father who is crazy about you, wants to be close to you and pour his good pleasure out on you.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9Jesus fulfills God’s law to become a perfect spotless sacrifice and atone for our sin. He fulfills the prophecies of Messiah doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.

Today’s Scripture: Matthew 17:1-8 Would you believe that God sees every single person the same way basketball scouts looked at Victor Wembanyama at age 15 in France? He sees not just what you are but what you were made to become. God sees the glory He wrote into your design before you were born.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 102:18 Where are your eyes? Who’s on your heart? A VIBRANT church is a church with eyes forward on the next 100 years, trusting in Jesus.

Today’s Scripture: Psalm 100:1-5, Matthew 16:18 Jesus envisioned his church as the place where shame meets grace, where hurts find healing, and imperfect people share favor and forgiveness - the kind of love that builds community that lasts.
