BEfoRe the year ends WAITing List - James 5:7–12 Before the year ends, don’t just count the days that passed. Check who you’ve become while waiting. Some prayers are still unanswered. Some promises are still unfolding. Some seasons take longer than we expected. But James reminds us that waiting is not a reason to give up; it’s an opportunity to grow in patience, strengthen our hearts, and remain faithful to God. So, before the year ends, take a moment to check your WAITing List: CHECK YOUR PATIENCE. Am I learning to trust God’s timing, or am I forcing things to happen my way? CHECK YOUR HEART. Has waiting made me more trusting, or more frustrated, bitter, and discouraged? CHECK YOUR FAITHFULNESS. Am I still standing firm in God, even when I haven’t seen the answers I prayed for? Remember, the waiting season is not wasted when God is at work in you. You may not have received everything you hoped for this year, but you can still end the year with a heart that trusts, a faith that perseveres, and a life that remains faithful. BEfoRe the year ends, don’t just check what you’ve received. Check how you’ve waited. WAIT with patience. WAIT with a strengthened heart. WAIT with faithfulness. #BEfoReTheYearEnds #WAITingList #James5 #TrustGodsTiming #FaithThatPerseveres #SpiritualCheckUp #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

BEfoRe the year ends The Friend Request - James 4:1–10 Before the year ends, here’s another item on our spiritual checklist: What or who do I give access to my life? James exposes the conflicts that begin when our desires take control. We want, we fight, we compare, we chase and somewhere along the way, we can give the world more access to our hearts than we give to God. Not every friend request deserves an accept. So, before the year ends, it’s time to check our access list: What desires have been shaping me? What influences have been pulling me away from God? What have I allowed to take His place in my heart? James gives us the answer: Submit to God. Resist the devil. Draw near to God. Because the closer we draw to God, the clearer we become about what needs to be removed from our lives. Before the year ends, check your friend requests. Not everything asking for access deserves a YES. #BEfoReTheYearEnds #TheFriendRequest #James4 #DrawNearToGod #SubmitToGod #SpiritualCheckUp #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

BEfoRe the year ends Words Have Receipts - James 3:1–12 Before the year ends, here’s another item on our spiritual checklist: What have my words been saying about my faith? James reminds us that our words carry weight. A small tongue can direct the course of a life, build someone up, or tear someone down. And sometimes, what comes out of our mouths reveals what is happening inside our hearts. Because your words have receipts.They show what you value.They show what’s in your heart.They show what or Who is shaping you. So before the year ends, let’s check our conversations. Have my words brought life or hurt?Encouragement or discouragement?Grace or judgment?Truth spoken in love or words spoken in anger? Your words have receipts. Make sure they show Jesus. #BEfoReTheYearEnds #WordsHaveReceipts #James3 #MakeSureTheyShowJesus #SpiritualCheckUp  #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!  (Credits to the original artists and owners of the media used.

THIS IS MY STORY | Week 2 “Also Known As” - Mark 5:1–20 For years, he was known by his pain. Known by his struggles. Known by what controlled him. But one encounter with Jesus changed everything. In Mark 5, a man once identified by his bondage became a living testimony of God's power and grace. His story reminds us that our past may explain us, but it doesn't have to define us. How people know you is one thing. How Jesus sees you is another. This Sunday, we'll discover that our greatest identity is not found in our failures, labels, or reputation but in the transforming work of Christ. Because when Jesus changes your life, your story becomes more than what you were known for. #ThisIsMyStory #AlsoKnownAs #Mark5 #IdentityInChrist #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

MORE THAN SUNDAYS | Week 4 “More Than Sundaes” Compassion is more than sweet words, good intentions, or emotional moments. Biblical compassion moves. It responds. It acts. The Bible never says you must be rich to care. And it never teaches that compassion stops at feelings alone. True compassion is a heart that sees people and hands willing to help according to what God has given. From Scripture after Scripture, we see God calling His people not just to feel mercy, but to live it out. And in the story of the Good Samaritan, Jesus makes it clear: love is proven in action. As we continue our More Than Sundays series, we’re reminded that faith goes beyond church attendance. It looks like kindness, generosity, service, and compassion in everyday life. Not just “feel better.” Not just “pray for you.” But “go and do likewise.” #MoreThanSundays #MoreThanSundaes #CompassionInAction #GoAndDoLikewise #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

MORE THAN SUNDAYS | Week 2 “Reel Love” - John 21:15–17 After the failure, after the denial, after drifting away; Jesus asked Peter one question: “Do you love Me?” Because at the heart of following Jesus is not perfection, performance, or popularity… but love that remains faithful. As we continue our More Than Sundays series, we focus on the heartbeat of our vision: loving God faithfully. A kind of love that doesn’t disconnect when life gets hard, when emotions fade, or when failures happen. Faithful love stays on God’s reel— always connected, always pulled back, always His. This Sunday, we’re reminded that Christianity was never meant to stop at a weekly service. Real love stays connected to Jesus every day. #MoreThanSundays #ReelLove #John21 #LoveGodFaithfully #FaithfulLove #ChristCenteredCommunity #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

8 STARTS WITH ME | God Did! Nehemiah 6:15–16 The wall was finished. What once seemed impossible became undeniable. Not because the people were capable but because God was faithful. As we celebrate our 8th anniversary, we look back with grateful hearts and declare: “God did!” Through every challenge, every prayer, every sacrifice, and every unseen act of obedience, God has been building His church. His work has been unthinkable, undeniable, and unquestionable. Nehemiah 6 reminds us that when God’s hand is on something, even the people around will recognize that it could only have been accomplished by Him. This anniversary is more than celebrating years; it’s celebrating grace, faithfulness, and the goodness of God through every season. And as we move forward, we do so with confidence: What God begins, God finishes. #8StartsWithMe #GodDid #Nehemiah6 #8thAnniversary #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

8 STARTS WITH ME | Week 3 “wALLedIn” - Nehemiah 4:6–14 Opposition came but the work didn’t stop. Nehemiah and the people rebuilt with one hand and held their ground with the other. They didn’t let pressure push them back; they chose to stand, fight, and keep building. Sometimes the real battle isn’t outside; it’s inside. Are we held back by fear, distraction, and doubt… or fully committed to what God has called us to build? This week, we’re faced with a choice: Are you walled in… or all in? #8StartsWithMe #WalledInOrAllIn #Nehemiah4 #BuildAndBattle #AllInForGod #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

8 STARTS WITH ME | Week 2 “Move Differently” - Nehemiah 2:9 God is always moving; guiding, opening doors, positioning people, and preparing the way. The question is not if He is moving… but will we move with Him? Nehemiah didn’t just carry the burden; he took the step. With God’s favor upon him, he moved with purpose, courage, and alignment to what God was already doing. This week, we’re challenged to step out of comfort and into calling. To move not by fear, pressure, or routine but by faith. Because when God is moving, staying still is no longer an option. It’s time to move differently. #8StartsWithMe #MoveDifferently #Nehemiah2 #MoveWithGod #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

NEW MONTH | NEW SERIES - “8 Starts with Me” As we step into a new month and prepare for our 8th anniversary, we’re reminded that what God wants to do in our church begins personally; with each one of us. Week 1: “Hole Hearted” - Nehemiah 1:1–4 Nehemiah didn’t just hear about the broken walls; he allowed it to break his heart. He didn’t stay indifferent; he responded in prayer, in burden, and eventually in action. God is still looking for people who won’t just observe the need, but will carry it. Hearts that are moved, surrendered, and ready to respond. This Sunday, we’re invited to go deeper - from hearing to doing, from ownership to responsibility, from dependence to obedience in action. Because “8” starts with me. #8StartsWithMe #HoleHearted #Nehemiah1 #FromHearingToDoing #ObedienceInAction #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

THE IN BETWEEN | Week 4 “Rocked but Not Rolled” - Matthew 14:22–33 The waves may shake you—but they don’t have to sink you. In the middle of the storm, Peter stepped out in faith. The wind was strong, the waves were real, and for a moment, fear took over. Yet even when he began to sink, Jesus was right there—steady, present, and in control. This week reminds us: you may feel rocked, but with Jesus, you won’t be rolled over. Storms will come, but they don’t have the final say—He does. In the in-between—between fear and faith, chaos and calm—Jesus is still calling us to step out, fix our eyes on Him, and trust. Because as long as He’s in it, you’re not going under. #TheInBetween #RockedButNotRolled #Matthew14 #FaithOverFear #FixYourEyesOnJesus #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

THE IN BETWEEN | Week 3 “The Missing Variable” – John 6:1–13 In the in-between, we often find ourselves doing the math—counting what we have, measuring what’s lacking, and wondering if it will ever be enough. In John 6, a crowd was hungry, and the numbers didn’t make sense. Five loaves. Two fish. Thousands to feed. Philip saw the impossibility. Andrew saw the limitation. But Jesus saw something greater. Because what we place in His hands is never just what it is—it becomes what He wills. Sometimes we think the equation of our lives doesn’t add up. Not enough resources. Not enough strength. Not enough answers. But the miracle begins when we stop focusing on what’s missing and start trusting the One who multiplies. Faith finds the numbers, but Jesus completes the equation. In the in-between, we learn this truth: The missing variable was never the supply—it is JESUS. https://youtu.be/bCTVtp_hS5Q?si=G93kaOcnv0lZsJXN #TheInBetween #TheMissingVariable #John6 #FaithOverFear #GodProvides #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

THE IN BETWEEN | Week 2 “I in Faith” - Genesis 22:1–14 The journey of faith often leads us into moments we don’t fully understand. Moments where the promise seems far away and the path ahead feels uncertain. In Genesis 22, Abraham walked up the mountain carrying a question in his heart but trust in his steps. He didn’t have all the answers, but he had faith in the One who called him. Sometimes the hardest part of faith is the “I”; the moment when it becomes personal. Will I trust? Will I obey? Will I believe God even when I don’t understand? Because faith isn’t just believing that God can, rather, it’s choosing to trust that God will, even before you see how. And in the end, Abraham discovered what we all learn in the in-between: God always provides. #TheInBetween #IinFaith #Genesis22 #FaithInTheWaiting #GodWillProvide #TrustAndObey #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!

NEW SERIES: MORE THAN SUNDAYSWeek 1: “Left 2 Drift” - Revelation 2:1–5  Drifting rarely happens all at once.It happens slowly…one distraction, one compromise, one cold moment at a time. The church in Revelation 2 looked healthy on the outside, but Jesus saw what was missing within: their first love. They had ministry, movement, and momentum… but their hearts were no longer fully centered on Him. As we begin our new series, More than Sundays, we’re reminded that church is more than a weekly gathering—it is a daily calling to be a Christ-centered community, fully committed to loving God faithfully, living each dayrelationally, and reaching others intentionally. Because Christianity was never meant to stop at Sunday attendance. Jesus wants our hearts beyond the service, beyond the routine, beyond the stage.   Before we move forward as a church, we must first return to what matters most: Jesus at the center.   #MoreThanSundays #Left2Drift #FirstLove #Revelation2 #ChristCenteredCommunity #JesusAtTheCenter#aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!  (Credits to the original artists and owners of the media used.

NEW SERIES: THE IN BETWEEN The Space between miracles is where faith is built. In between the prayer and the answer; in between the promise and the fulfillment; in between the calling and the reality. And that space? that uncomfortable, uncertain, often painful space is where faith is built. We love the breakthrough. We celebrate the testimony. But rarely do we highlight the “in-between” … the silence, the stretching, the moments when heaven feels quiet and time feels slow. This Sunday, we step into Mark 5:21–43 with a message entitled: “Get Up, Get Out, God’s Time.” Two desperate situations. Two interruptions. One Savior who is never late. In the in-between, Jesus is still moving. In the delay, He is still working. In the waiting, He is still worthy of trust. If you feel stuck between what was and what will be, this message is for you. Because God’s timing isn’t rushed… and it’s never random. The in-between isn’t punishment…it’s preparation. #TheInBetween #GodsTiming #FaithInTheWaiting #Mark5 #GetUpGetOut #aHeartthatbeatsforJesusbeatsforOthers #itisaONEBEATFamdayFundaySonday!
