Sermon Recap: The Challenges of 2026

In this message, The 2026 Challenge, we are reminded that 2026 is not just another calendar year it is a threshold moment. A year that will bring challenges in different seasons and forms, but not a single challenge we will face alone. God has already attached promises to every challenge ahead. This sermon anchors us in the confidence of God’s Word, declaring that no weapon formed against us will prosper, that we are more than conquerors, and that every promise of God is still yes and amen. Walls will fall, chains will break, doors will open, and miracles will not be occasional; they will be the norm. The heart of the message centers on this truth: God is not forming an informed crowd He is forming a consecrated people. Information alone does not transform; formation does. As we step into 2026, the question is not what do we know, but who are we becoming. Using the repeated biblical theme of Chapter 20, Verse 26, this message calls the Church to be set apart: In holiness and identity Under authority and accountability Through worship, repentance, and correction By servant-hearted greatness In wisdom, maturity, and resurrection power With a testimony that carries eternal responsibility 2026 is asking a question of the Church: Will we be busy or built? Shallow or strong? Casual or consecrated? This episode is a call to alignment, discipleship, and commitment so that we are ready to carry what God is building for the next generation.

Sermon Recap: The God of the Unexpected

The God of the Unexpected What do you do when life doesn’t unfold the way you planned? In this episode of Steps of Hope, Pastor Ryan walks through 1 Kings 17:1–16 and reminds us that God often works outside our expectations, but never outside His purpose. From ravens bringing provision, to a brook that dries up, to a widow whose obedience turns scarcity into sustained supply, this conversation explores how to trust God’s technique, timing, and territory even in seasons of waiting, transition, or uncertainty. If you’re praying for provision, direction, or breakthrough, this episode will encourage you to stop managing God and start trusting Him again. Because when God moves, the only thing you can expect… is the unexpected.

Introduction

Steps of Hope is launching in 2026. This podcast is a discipleship journey through the Word of God—designed to help us walk out Scripture in real, everyday life. Each episode is focused on taking intentional steps of faith, building consistency, and allowing God’s Word to shape how we live. Throughout the year, Steps of Hope follows three simple rhythms: Weekly Journey Through Scripture Once a week, we take a step together through Scripture—reading it, reflecting on it, and applying it to everyday life. This isn’t about deep theological debate; it’s about living the Word. How Scripture shapes our thinking, our responses, our relationships, and our trust in God. Weekly Sermon Recap (5 Minutes) Each week includes a short, five-minute recap of the most recent sermon. Life gets busy, and these episodes are designed to help you revisit the heart of the message. Each recap highlights the core Scripture, the main takeaway, and one practical challenge to carry into the week. Monthly Episode for Daily Living Once a month, we slow down and focus on practical topics for daily life, all rooted in biblical truth. Conversations center on faith in stressful seasons, building healthy habits, navigating uncertainty, and growing in family, purpose, and spiritual discipline. These episodes connect God’s Word to real-world living—where faith meets Monday morning. Steps of Hope is about progress, not perfection—walking forward, one step at a time, with God’s Word lighting the way.
