The True Test - ngStudents | Drew Mathews

Drew Mathews brought a powerful message from 1 Peter 1:3–7 about “The True Test.”  He reminded students that trials are not pointless. God can use difficult seasons to grow, strengthen, and refine our faith. Drew shared honestly from his own story about injuries, setbacks, loss, and disappointment, while pointing students back to the hope we have in Jesus. One of the biggest takeaways from the message was this: Faith that is tested becomes faith that is strengthened.

Rock Solid Obedience | ngStudents

Allen Menard brought a strong and timely word on Rock Solid Obedience, another Cornerstone. He challenged our students to move beyond just hearing God’s Word and step into actually living it out. He walked through Matthew 7:24–25 and reminded us that the wise person doesn’t just listen to Jesus, they put His words into practice and build their life on a firm foundation. When storms come (and they will), obedience is what keeps us standing. Allen gave students three practical ways to strengthen their obedience: * Hear the Lord – Not just having ears open, but being truly tuned in to what God is saying through His Word and the Holy Spirit. * Respond to the Lord – Obedience requires action. It means trusting God even when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, or unpopular. * Remain in the Lord – Staying rooted in Jesus daily so that when life gets hard, they don’t drift—they stand firm. One of the biggest takeaways of the night: Obedience is the evidence of our faith. It’s easy to say we believe, but obedience is where it becomes real.
