Everything we have has been given to us by God, but do we treat it like it’s ours, or like it’s His? In a world that says “what’s mine is mine,” the Bible teaches a different story. In this message from our Firm Foundations series, we look at Luke 19:11–27 and the call to faithful stewardship. While we wait for Christ’s return, He has entrusted us with the gospel, our lives, our talents, and our finances. We are stewards, not owners. Jesus gives His servants a clear charge: “Engage in business until I come.” The question isn’t whether He will return; it’s what we will do with what He has put in our hands in the meantime. In this sermon, you’ll discover: Why everything we have belongs to God, not us.What it means to steward the gospel, our lives, and our finances.Why faithful stewardship is an act of worship while we wait for the King.How we are called to give God our first and our best, because He gave us His.The bottom line: God gives and entrusts us to steward all that we have for His glory.

In a world that celebrates busyness and constant productivity, rest can feel like weakness. But what if rest is actually an act of faith? In this message, we explore what the Bible teaches us about the spiritual habit of rest and why God designed it to be an essential part of our lives. Through Scripture, we discover that rest isn't laziness; it's a reminder that we don't have to carry everything on our own because God is the One who sustains us. Jesus invites us in Matthew 11:28–30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” True rest isn't found simply in a vacation or a day off; it's found in learning to trust Jesus with our lives, our families, our work, and our future. In this sermon, you'll discover: Why rest is an act of trust in God. How rest reminds us that God is our sustainer. Why biblical rest is more than simply taking a day off. How to stop striving in your own strength and find rest for your soul in Christ. The bottom line: Rest is an act of trust.

We were never meant to follow Jesus alone. In this message from our Firm Foundation series, we look at two foundational truths of the Christian life: we need one another, and we need God. Through Hebrews 10, we discover the importance of biblical community; encouraging one another, praying for one another, and spurring one another on toward love and good deeds. An isolated Christian is a vulnerable Christian, because God designed us to grow together as the body of Christ. We also explore the spiritual discipline of fasting and what it means to deny ourselves in order to seek God. Fasting reminds us that good things can make terrible gods, and that ultimately, God is better than our appetites, comfort, and desires. The goal isn't simply to go without food; it is to become more hungry for God. Bottom Line: We were never meant to follow Jesus alone.

What if prayer was never meant to be your last resort, but your first response? In this message from our A Firm Foundation series, we take a deeper look at what Jesus teaches about prayer in Matthew 6 and what it means to develop a consistent prayer life. Prayer can easily become a routine, something we only do when we’re in trouble, or even something we use to appear spiritual in front of others. But Jesus calls us to something deeper: a genuine relationship with God built on trust, dependence, and surrender.

Every day, something is shaping who you are, but what if you’re being shaped by the wrong voice? In this message, we discover how God’s Word doesn’t just inform us; it forms us, transforms us, and equips us to become more like Jesus. Learn how to Read, Observe, Understand, and Apply Scripture as you build a firm foundation for your life.

Our primary allegiance isn't to this world, it's to the Kingdom of God. Join us as we examine what scripture teaches about heavenly citizenship and how it calls us to steadfast faith, unified community, and endurance through suffering.

Whatever circumstances we face; whether God calls us to stay, go, live, or die; our ultimate purpose is to glorify Christ and trust that Christ is enough.

Join us as we hear an update for the Kennedys, missionaries we support in Nicaragua.

Even when we feel trapped by suffering, hardship, or chains, God can use those circumstances to advance the Gospel, so we must keep Christ first, embrace the opportunities God gives us, and rejoice because the Gospel is moving forward.

The gospel doesn’t just save us, it shapes us into a thankful, faithful, Christ-centered people who partner in His mission, trust God’s faithfulness, pursue spiritual maturity, and live for His glory.

Because your identity shapes the way you live, Paul begins Philippians by reminding believers that their true identity is not found in their accomplishments, failures, or circumstances, but in belonging to Christ, a foundation that brings grace, peace, joy, and faithful living in every circumstance.

Faith is not measured by whether God always delivers us from suffering, but by whether we continue trusting Christ through both the mountaintops and the valleys because He is always worthy of our faith.

Pate Scott is a candidate for our Groups and Outreach Paster position. Join us as we get to hear from God's word this morning.

Faith trusts and obeys God's promises rather than present circumstances, knowing that whether God provides immediate deliverance or calls us to endure, our ultimate hope is the better resurrection secured through Jesus Christ.

Samuel's life shows that genuine faith means trusting and obeying God's Word over our feelings, fears, instincts, and past failures, confident that God's wisdom and purposes are always better than our own.
