Descripción

Throughout this Limited Edition series, we've been challenged to create margin in our lives—to own less, hurry less, and trust God more. But once we've made that margin, what are we meant to do with it? This week, we're reminded that God didn't simply create us to work, produce, and solve problems. He created us for joy, laughter, friendship, and delight in His presence. Somewhere along the way, many of us began treating fun as something we earn after everything else is finished, when perhaps it was part of God's design all along. Because maybe the purpose of creating margin isn't just to have more space in our calendars. Maybe it's to spend that margin on the life God intended for us from the very beginning—walking closely with Him, loving others well, and discovering that true joy is found not just in the gifts He gives, but in the Giver Himself.

Limited Edition Part 1: Life in the Margins

What if the life you're working so hard to maintain is leaving little room for what matters most? In Limited Edition: Life in the Margins, we explore the tension between the life we're chasing and the life God may be calling us to. Because it's possible to fill our days with good things and still miss what matters most. In a world that celebrates busyness, accumulation, and constant striving, this message invites us to slow down, create space, and ask a simple question: What is God asking me to hold onto—and what is He asking me to let go of? Because the best things in life rarely happen when every moment is occupied. They happen in the margins. And what if creating those margins isn't about having less—but finally having room for what God wants to grow?

Living in the Last Days Part 4: 3 Moves to Make in the Last Days

In this week's Living in the Last Days, we explore how the reality of Christ's return is meant to shape the choices we make every day. Because the greatest acts of faith are often found in the ordinary moments when God asks us to trust Him, follow Him, and obey Him. Because following Jesus isn't simply about believing the right things. It's about learning to trust God's way over our own—even when our desires, fears, or instincts pull us in another direction. The truth is, we all have parts of our lives we'd rather keep control of. But faithfulness isn't built through grand gestures. It's formed through simple acts of obedience, repeated day after day, until our hearts learn to trust God more than our fears, desires, or distractions. The challenge isn't simply to believe Jesus is coming back. It's to live like His voice matters today.
