Do you ever feel completely unqualified to make a real difference in the world? Throughout history, God continually bypasses the powerful and influential to call everyday individuals into extraordinary service. When fear and inadequacy whisper that you are not enough, divine strength proves that nobody is overlooked or unusable. Whether stepping onto the frontlines or providing essential support behind the scenes, ordinary faithfulness leaves an eternal legacy. Step out in courage and answer His call to serve today. #FaithOverFear #ChristianLiving #BiblicalLeadership #SpiritualGrowth #Discipleship #FaithInAction
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Reflect upon the areas in your daily life where feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt have kept you from stepping forward. God consistently chooses ordinary, everyday people rather than the elite to bring hope, healing, and renewal to those in need. Set aside intentional time to identify one practical way you can answer His call—whether by directly stepping into a role of service, mentoring someone nearby, or providing necessary support and resources for others who are leading the way. Choose one concrete action to carry out and trust His strength rather than your own qualifications.

Have you ever wanted to read the Bible? Or wondered what it's really all about? Here's your chance. Beginning September 20th, we are reading through the narrative of Scripture together, as one church family, over one year. "The Story" is the Bible's own text, arranged in 31 easy-to-read chapters (with some sections edited or summarized) that let the grand sweep of the narrative shine through – from creation, through Moses and David, to the Messiah Jesus and the birth of the Church.

Live Worship Replay | “Fully Devoted?”
November 1, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson • Joshua 1:1–9
Sermon Series: The Story
Sermon: “Fully Devoted?”
Scripture: Joshua 1: 1-9
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
What holds first place in your heart when life is comfortable? When hardships fade and blessings multiply, the subtle trap of abundance often threatens faith more than struggle ever could. From Joshua’s final challenge to the teachings of Jesus, God calls us to a faith that cannot be divided between material comfort and eternal devotion. Choose whom you will serve and step into a life of genuine purpose. Follow Jesus wholeheartedly today. #FaithJourney #BiblicalTruth #FollowJesus #Discipleship #ChristianPodcast #KingdomLiving
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Reflect deeply on where your true allegiance lies in your daily routine. Consider whether your schedule, spending, and how you treat other people demonstrate that your identity is defined first by God. Examine the areas of your life where material comforts or the pursuit of security might be tempting you to place your trust in worldly success rather than in God. Take dedicated time to look at what competes for your ultimate devotion, and make a conscious, intentional choice to surrender every distraction and serve the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind.

Sermon: “Before You Go”
Scripture: Deuteronomy 2:7, 4:9, 31:7-8
Preacher: J.C. Fowler
Watch the full worship service: https://youtube.com/live/zryrbbos4ma
What would your final words be if you knew your life was coming to an end? Looking at the final words of Moses in Deuteronomy reveals what it truly means to leave a lasting legacy of faith. Because people are so prone to forget, faithfulness requires daily remembering that God is always present. Moving forward means letting go of control, trusting God with His mission, and investing in the next generation. Listen now to discover how to trade control for trust in Jesus! #Deuteronomy #TrustGod #FaithLegacy #LetGoAndLetGod #Jesus
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Take some time to reflect on the three core challenges from the life of Moses and apply them to your own walk with God. First, remember that faithfulness is a daily remembering of how God has been with us all along, and ask yourself what specific habit you can practice daily to remember His truth and faithfulness. Second, recognize that God asks us to open our hands and let Him be in control of the blessings He gives us, and identify where in your life you need to trade control for trust in Him. Finally, understand that leaving a legacy is about investing in other people and passing the faith on to the next generation, and prayerfully consider who your Joshua is that you can begin investing in right now.

Moses Let Go! The Powerful Lesson in His Final Years
October 25, 2026 • J.C. Fowler
What does it look like to let go and trust God with what comes next?
After 40 years of leading, praying for, and fighting for God's people, Moses had to face the reality that he wouldn't enter the Promised Land. And yet, he chose to let go.
He released control and entrusted the mission back to God.
Sometimes faith means knowing when to let go and trusting God to carry the story forward. 💜

Chosen, Beloved, and Set Apart - Finding Your Identity in God
October 18, 2026 • Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck
Chosen. Beloved. Set Apart.
Your identity isn’t defined by your past or how well you have it all together. You are God’s treasured possession, called to live differently and reflect His love, grace, and mercy. ❤️
Watch the full sermon: https://youtu.be/xbnukhcydsu
Solely Sermons | God’s Own People
October 18, 2026 • Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck • Exodus 19:3–6, Genesis 12:2–3, Exodus 34:6–7, 1 Peter 2:9–10
Sermon Series: The Story
Sermon: “God’s Own People”
Scripture: Exodus 19:3-6
Preacher: Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck
Who are you when the labels of the world fall away? When uncertainty strikes, humans often build counterfeit idols out of success, approval, or control to settle inner fears. Yet God answers human failure not by walking away, but by revealing His boundless mercy and steadfast love. Discover how Jesus secures our true calling as God’s treasured people. Listen now to discover your true identity and find freedom in His grace! #ChristianFaith #BiblicalIdentity #Exodus #GraceAndMercy #FaithJourney
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Take time to sit quietly and examine the sentences and labels that have shaped your view of yourself over the years. Notice the areas where fear, doubt, or the need for control cause you to rely on modern idols like career status, financial security, or the approval of others instead of resting in God. Write down the counterfeit gods you tend to reach for when life feels overwhelming, and place those honest struggles before the Lord. Read First Peter chapter 2, verse 9, and write out God’s declaration over you as His chosen and treasured possession. Post that truth on your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or car dashboard to actively guide your thoughts, reminding yourself throughout each day that your identity rests securely in Jesus Christ and His steadfast love.

Live Worship Replay | God’s Own People
October 18, 2026 • Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck • Exodus 19:3–6, Genesis 12:2–3, Exodus 34:6–7, 1 Peter 2:9–10
Sermon Series: The Story
Sermon: “God’s Own People”
Scripture: Exodus 19:3-6
Preacher: Rev. Lindsay Anderson-Beck
Who are you when the labels of the world fall away? When uncertainty strikes, humans often build counterfeit idols out of success, approval, or control to settle inner fears. Yet God answers human failure not by walking away, but by revealing His boundless mercy and steadfast love. Discover how Jesus secures our true calling as God’s treasured people. Listen now to discover your true identity and find freedom in His grace! #ChristianFaith #BiblicalIdentity #Exodus #GraceAndMercy #FaithJourney
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Take time to sit quietly and examine the sentences and labels that have shaped your view of yourself over the years. Notice the areas where fear, doubt, or the need for control cause you to rely on modern idols like career status, financial security, or the approval of others instead of resting in God. Write down the counterfeit gods you tend to reach for when life feels overwhelming, and place those honest struggles before the Lord. Read First Peter chapter 2, verse 9, and write out God’s declaration over you as His chosen and treasured possession. Post that truth on your bathroom mirror, refrigerator, or car dashboard to actively guide your thoughts, reminding yourself throughout each day that your identity rests securely in Jesus Christ and His steadfast love.

Sermon Series: The Story
Sermon: “Choose Your Hard”
Scripture: Exodus 14:10-15, 21-25
Preacher: J.C. Fowler
Why do we run back to the very things that hurt us most? Facing major change often feels terrifying, whether breaking an addiction, speaking a hard truth, or stepping into an unknown future. Looking at Israel trapped between Pharaoh’s army and the Red Sea in Exodus 14, we discover that transformation is hard, but staying stuck is harder. God never calls us to walk alone; He fights for us and turns impossible walls into dry walkways. Choose the hard that leads to life, take your next step, and join a community ready to walk alongside you.
#SpiritualGrowth #FaithOverFear #Exodus #BiblicalTeaching #TrustGod #ChristianCommunity #LifeTransformation #ChooseYourHard
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Transformation begins when we stop suffering what is familiar and start trusting God with the unknown. Begin by taking an honest look at the habits, mindsets, or comforts you cling to simply because they feel safe. Acknowledge the areas where you feel stuck or hesitant to follow where God is leading.

Solely Sermons | The Unseen Author
October 4, 2026 • Rev. Dr Stephen Heinzel-Nelson • Genesis 45:4–8
Sermon Series: The Story
Sermon: “The Unseen Author”
Scripture: Genesis 45:4-8
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Stephen Heinzel-Nelson
Sometimes the worst nightmares serve as the prelude to extraordinary blessings. Life rarely unfolds smoothly. Through the biblical narrative of Joseph, we discover how the Creator operates as an unseen author during our deepest valleys. Even when circumstances suggest otherwise, God is good and actively working for our benefit. By trusting His invisible hand, we learn that our character must rise above our situations. Discover how to navigate unexpected detours with resilient faith. #FaithJourney #BiblicalWisdom #ChristianLiving
FAITHWORK ASSIGNMENT:
God is powerfully present even when He seems silent, actively working behind the scenes. Take time to consider how you can trust His unseen hand during unexpected trials. Remember that what others intend for harm, God can use for ultimate good because He is fundamentally good. Reflect on where you need to look for His goodness in your current struggles. Finally, you possess the freedom to choose your attitude and make the right choices in any situation. Decide how you will let your character, rather than your challenges, define your next step.
