There is often a significant gap between our dreams and reality. These dreams can be as inconsequential as your favorite team winning the Superbowl or as significant as the kind of family you want. But what happens when things don’t work out? What often happens is we decide to quit the dream. When it appears our relationship with Jesus isn’t working out, we become tempted to abandon our faith in him and settle for what we perceive to be more real. This message, and the Hebrews 11 series, will explore how to stand firm on our faith in Jesus in the face of difficult realities.

3 Ways to Experiencing God’s Goodness!
July 31, 2022 • Eric Dubach • Hebrews 11, Acts 5:41, Hebrews 12:1–3
Living by faith leads to experiencing God’s goodness. The Psalmist encourages us to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” This is ultimately fulfilled in our salvation but not exclusively that. We are given blessing upon blessing in Jesus. But this does not mean life is always easy or miraculous. Living by faith can also lead us into significant pain. This doesn’t mean God isn’t good in those times. He is. So, what does it mean to continue to live by faith and believe in His goodness when life feels like a curse?
How to Handle Fear!
July 17, 2022 • Eric Dubach
Whenever we talk about our faith growing, we’re not usually referring to the lack of biblical knowledge we have or the lack of theological doctrine we can recite. We’re not even referring to a desire to show up to church more often. What I believe we are referring to is a desire to respond better to the things in life that cause fear. But what if faith, unlike the Fight or Flight responses, is not a response at all? What if fear is, instead, an antidote to fear? What if faith is meant to replace fear so that it no longer controls you or dictates your decisions? This is what we learn from Moses’ story as we see his parents respond to fear with faith and overcome it.
