This week we continue with our annual end of year giving initiative titled "Heart for the House." This week will be the grand finale for the series and we are calling it Give Sunday. I pray that this series has been a blessing to you all. A challenging series that teaches us to not focus so much about our money but instead helps us in preparing our hearts to be able to answer the call to where God is calling us to, as individuals and a church body.

The title of this week's message is "Get Out Of The Tent." In this message we look at the story in Genesis 15:1-6 where God promised Abram and Sari as many children as stars in the sky. And all they had to do was be faithful in obeying Him. We learn that initially they were full of bold faith and believed God's promise would come to pass. However, after several years of waiting (approx 15-20 yrs) we find Abram and Sari becoming less faithful and discourage waiting for God's promise. In this story we see that God comes to reaffirm His promise to Abram and finds him in his tent discouraged and losing faith. Like Abram we also can get discouraged and find ourselves in our tent with our faith, while we wait on God's promises for us.

I believe God has more in store for your life! God wants you "out of your tent," out of your limitations of perspective and comfort. God wants to do more in your life, more than you think, more that you've seen, more than you can imagine. He wants to grow you and stretch you, and He wants you to have BIG faith as you step into 2024!

I believe this will be a message that challenges us to "Get Out Of Our Tent," not only in our finances but also in our faith and what we are believing God for in 2024. He is calling us to let our faith rise up and believe that what He promises us, He will fulfill. Not only in our individual lives but also in our church!

Scripture: Genesis 15:1-6
