In this teaching, Pastor Zach delves into the story of Abraham, emphasizing the significance of God's promises. The sermon highlights that God's promises are made to real people in a world filled with challenges and are rooted in His character, not human actions. Pastor Zach reassures the audience that even if they feel distant from God's work, His promises remain for them. Using the metaphor of a diamond against velvet, the teaching illustrates how God's promises shine amidst human struggles. Ultimately, the message encourages embracing God's promises, grounded in His unwavering faithfulness and love.

In this teaching, Pastor Joe delves into the story of Abraham, emphasizing the profound impact of God's promises in our lives. He illustrates how Abraham's journey of faith and doubt mirrors our own struggles, reminding us of the importance of trusting in God's timing and protection. Pastor Joe highlights two key truths: the assurance that God is our shield and the understanding that His promises are always fulfilled. By embracing these truths, we can confidently say, "God, you lead the way," and find strength in His unwavering faithfulness.

As we continue our Promises Made, Promises Kept series, Pastor Jimmy unpacks Genesis 13 and what it means to trust God in the space between his promises and their fulfillment. Abram finds himself on rocky ground—literally and spiritually—facing the tension between what looks good and what God has called him to. Pastor Jimmy explores the illusion of control, the challenge of trust, and the deep assurance that God’s presence is the true blessing, even when the path feels uncertain.

As we begin our Promises Made, Promises Kept series, Pastor Joe reminds us that God’s promises are not just ancient words, but living truths we can anchor our lives to today. Looking at the faithfulness of God through Scripture, we are encouraged to trust his timing even when it feels delayed. Pastor Joe highlights that what God promises, he always fulfills—often in ways more powerful than we can imagine. This message invites us to hold on with hope, knowing God's word never returns void.

As we conclude our Courage in the Fire series, Pastor Zach shares from Daniel 6, where Daniel’s unwavering commitment to regular prayer and obedience to God—even when it became illegal—reveals his deep dependence on God in everyday life. His consistent faithfulness becomes a powerful witness, leading even a pagan king to recognize and proclaim the greatness of Daniel’s God. This sermon reminds us that it’s not always epic acts of courage, but daily, faithful obedience that God uses to fulfill his purposes and reveal his salvation.

As we continue our Courage in the Fire series, Pastor Joe walks us through Daniel 5, where King Belshazzar throws a wild party using sacred temple vessels, showing complete disregard for God. A mysterious hand appears and writes a message no one can interpret—until Daniel steps in to deliver God’s judgment. Pastor Joe reminds us that just as the king called upon Daniel to interpret the writing on the wall, Christians ought to be ready to answer for their faith when called upon by those who are not believers.

As we continue our Courage In The Fire series, Pastor Zach takes us through Daniel chapter 3, exploring the unavoidable conflicts that arise when we live faithfully for God in a world with opposing values. Using the example of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s defiance of King Nebuchadnezzar’s idolatrous command, Pastor Zach highlights how God often uses these challenging moments to display his power and glory to those who don’t believe. Ultimately, he encourages us to embrace these trials, trusting that God can use our steadfast faith—even under intense pressure—to transform the hearts of others, just as Nebuchadnezzar eventually recognized the supremacy of their God.

As we begin our Courage in the Fire series, Pastor Jimmy explores how God works powerfully in the lives of His people, starting with Daniel chapter 1. He challenges us to consider that the same God who intervened for Daniel wants to work in our lives today—but that begins with embracing a different vision for life, one shaped by Jesus rather than the culture around us. Pastor Jimmy explains that true transformation starts with daily, faithful choices—small acts of obedience that align with God’s vision and ultimately shape our destiny.
