Beskrivelse

This Father's Day, we go searching the Bible for great dads... and come up surprisingly short. Joseph disappears from the story. Abraham nearly sacrifices his son. Job loses everything. Even the most touching father figure in Scripture — the dad in the Prodigal Son — turns out to be a parable, not a real man. So what does that tell us? That every flawed, imperfect father points us toward a perfect one. In this message, we dig into the question so many of us silently carry: "Am I enough?" — and discover that the answer isn't found by looking within, but by understanding who God says we are as His sons and daughters. We'll talk about radical freedom, real belonging, and what it actually feels like to call God "Abba" — Dad. Plus, a personal story of financial stress, fear, and unexpected provision that reshaped one pastor's understanding of what it means to have a Father who says, "I got you."

Sent Into My Sphere of Influence | Sent Series | Week 3

In Week 3 of our SENT series, we were reminded that Jesus didn't call us to keep our faith hidden—He called us to be the light of the world. Through Matthew 5, we discovered that our mission isn't confined to Sunday mornings. God has strategically placed each of us in our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities to reflect His love and character every day. This message challenged us to stop waiting for a different calling and realize that our current situation is our assignment. As we consistently live out the values of God's Kingdom through our words, actions, and relationships, we become a witness that points others to Jesus. The church exists not just to gather believers, but to equip and send them into every sphere of influence so that the light of Christ shines far beyond the walls of the church.
