The Journey Home

Training for Life

What if the most important thing you could do for a young person is not teach them more, but actually listen to them first? Proverbs 22:6 is not just a parenting verse. It is a call for every one of us to invest in the next generation with intention, patience, and a willingness to truly know who they are. You cannot lead someone somewhere you are not going yourself. Who is one young person in your life you could take one step toward this week? Sermon Notes https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/42324/note-271896.html

Out of Hiding

What if Netflix's biggest hit actually reveals the secret to overcoming shame? K-Pop Demon Hunters isn't just about girl bands fighting demonsit's about the lies we believe about ourselves. The movie gets halfway to the truth about healing, but what's the missing piece that changes everything? Are you trying to fix shame through self-improvement alone, or is there a deeper solution?

The Journey Home

What can The Wizard of Oz teach us about anxiety, courage, and finding our way home? This week, we explored the surprising connection between Dorothy's journey and the biblical story of Joshua. When life's storms hit, it's easy to focus on everything we can't control. But God reminded Joshua to be strong and courageousnot because of his own power, but because God's presence would go with him wherever he went. The same promise is true for us today!

Love

Psalm 118 reveals a powerful truth that can anchor us through life's challenges: God's faithful love endures forever. This isn't just a comforting phrase but the bedrock of our faith, which remains constant when human love fails. Even in seasons of spiritual numbness or overwhelming circumstances, we can find peace by repeatedly declaring this truth and spending time in solitude with God. What are you repeatedly giving your attention to, and is it drawing you closer to God or further away? Sermon Notes https://churchlinkfeeds.blob.core.windows.net/notes/42324/note-268541.html

Joy

Have you ever felt joy slip through your fingers right when you needed it most? Psalm 146 points us toward a deeper kind of joyone that survives disappointment and hard seasons because its anchored in the character of God. Even when we dont feel Him, we can still choose praise. When praise becomes more than a reaction and turns into a choice, it changes the way we walk through pain, uncertainty, and even numbness. Where is God inviting you to practice defiant joy this week?
