BIG IDEA: Fear doesn't get the final word - God calls ordinary people to extraordinary purpose. God used Gideon, and He can use you when you trust Him more than your doubts. SCRIPTURE: Judges 6-8

SCRIPTURE : Jonah 1-4 BIG IDEA : God opposes the proud but gives great grace to the humble. If you've made some stupid decisions in your life, don't live in regret. Allow Godly sorrow to form in you. Godly sorrow leads to repentance which leads to change of action. Your story and change of action just might lead an entire nation to the Lord.

SCRIPTURE : Judges 13-16 BIG IDEA : The life of Samson shows us what happens when we continually make small compromises in our life. It seems like one compromise may not cause too much harm so we fall to temptation. Eventually they start to compound which leads to great destruction. But do not fear, we have the power of the Spirit in us to overcome! 

SCRIPTURE: 1 Samuel 17, James 3:2-5, Proverbs 18:10-21 BIG IDEA: The Bible teaches us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. The words that we speak reveal the direction of our lives because they reveal what is in our hearts. David knew in his heart that His God was faithful and true so he stood on God's word for victory. You and I have the same opportunity to choose life and deat...

BIG IDEA: This true, historical event found in Exodus directly tells the message of the Gospel and informs two of our most sacred practices as the Christian Church. Rather than delivery from one location to another, we are delivered from sin and death into a promised life with Jesus. We celebrate this through baptism and communion which mirrors the Red Sea crossing and the Passover meal. SCRIPTURE...

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:1-10, Romans 12:1-2, John 5:2-6, Luke 14:25-26, Luke 9:23-24 BIG IDEA: Jesus is not only the Author of your story, He is the center of it. Your life story is being crafted by Christ to tell the story of Christ's great redemptive work for you. The question that we have to answer is, "how is your life reflecting the redemptive work of Jesus?"

SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 12:2, Romans 8:28, Luke 7:11-17 BIG IDEA: Your life is already telling a story, but Jesus wants to become the Author of it. Even the broken, painful, and seemingly hopeless chapters can be redeemed when we fix our eyes on Him and trust Him with control. A story worth telling begins when we surrender the pen to Jesus and allow Him to turn our pain into purpose.

F4F Mission: That every child would be in a loving family connected to the local church. F4F Vision: Connecting local churches with faith-based families to offer hope and restoration to children and families involved in Geor...

SCRIPTURE : Romans 8 BIG IDEA : God has set us free from sin so that we are free to live a life of eternal purpose. Free to know Him. Free to worship Him. Free to make Him known. If we will live with purpose, with the right “why” — we can overcome any adversity. When we live without purpose, we drift back into the sin that so easily entangled us before. 

SCRIPTURE : Romans 5-8, Galatians 5 BIG IDEA : The Holy Spirit is the immeasurably more that we receive from God. When you receive and follow the Spirit, you experience immeasurably more freedom! This freedom is from the consequence of sin and the power of sin! 

SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 1 BIG IDEA: The Christian life is not one a boring life of do's and don'ts. It is not some transactional life where you do enough good to get stuff from God. It is a life of power and purpose that can only be found in the Holy Spirit and the Church.

SCRIPTURE : Ephesians 3:20, Romans 8:32, Luke 9:32  BIG IDEA : The real Jesus did live. He in fact did die. And the Resurrection is one of the most provable facts in history! Why did He go through all that He did? So that you and I could know Him, have eternal life later, and immeasurably more here today. 

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 24 BIG IDEA: During the last week of Jesus' life, he made it a point to get alone with His disciples to prepare them not only for His death but His second coming. When He returns, it will not be lowly, riding on a donkey. It will be with power and might to finalize His work that He has already begun. The challenge for the Church today is to stay ready and make way for the Ki...

BIG IDEA: Jesus didn’t come the first time to meet our expectations. He came to confront our hearts, expose false worship, and offer true righteousness. The same King who was praised on Sunday and rejected by Friday is still revealing that many want the benefits of His Kingdom without actually surrendering to His authority. The King is coming again and He will bring judgement for how we responded...

SCRIPTURE : Matthew 10-16  BIG IDEA : Jesus didn’t come to make our lives a little better; He came to become our King. The Kingdom of God invites everyone, but it only belongs to those who give Him full allegiance. Some will reject Him, some will follow halfway, but the citizens of His Kingdom surrender everything. When the King calls, the only response that leads to life is full surrender.

SCRIPTURE : Matthew 8-10  BIG IDEA : Jesus has ultimate power and authority over all things - including sickness, disease, storms, demons, and death. One can only experience the power of Jesus' grace by following Him by faith and becoming a disciple by submitting to His authority. Kingdom Impact occurs in a life and a region when faith, submission, and mission begin to rise in the church. 

BIG IDEA: Jesus is the King of Kings. He is leading a Kingdom movement on the Earth through His people - the Church. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus lays out for His people what the culture of His Kingdom is to be like. When we follow Him and His way, we make Kingdom Impact everywhere we go. SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5-7, Romans 5:17

BIG IDEA: The Kingdom of Heaven is the active rule and reign of King Jesus stepping into the chaos of our DIY dominion. We enter His kingdom through repentance, which is a joyful, 180-degree regime change in our hearts. By laying down our tiny crowns today, we renounce the darkness and fully submit to the authority of the true King. SCRIPTURE REFERNCES: Matthew 3:1-2, 4:17, 4:23-24 

BIG IDEA As beings created in God’s image, Adam and Eve were given dominion over the chaos that existed outside of the Garden of Eden. By falling to sin, they joined the chaos of the world. Jesus came to restore order to the chaos in the world, in our hearts, and has given Christians the same mission.   SCRIPTURES REFERENCES 1 Corinthians 6:19  2 Corinthians 6:16 Ephesians 2:19-22

BIG IDEA: Jesus gives us three pillars for practicing our righteousness. They are prayer, fasting, and giving. Do you practice all three? What does each one say about your trust in Him? It will be impossible to make true kingdom impact until we surrender every area of our lives.

BIG IDEA :: The direction of your life is deeply shaped by the people you walk with. Like Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednago, our faith is strengthened -- or weakened -- by the community around us. When our friendships share conviction, obedience becomes clearer, compromise becomes harder, and courage multiplies. God never intended faith to be lived in isolation; He uses godly relationships t...

BIG IDEA :: After intense seasons of prayer and fasting like this one, many people want to know how to sustain this sort of connection with God. It comes by remaining in Him. It comes through mastering your morning routing, mastering your evening routing, and by mastering your week. To truly master these things, they must be surrendered to God. John 15

Prayer and fasting are not about changing a calendar year—they are about positioning our hearts to hear God when He speaks. Breakthrough in 2026 will not come from more striving, more goals, or more self-help, but through self-denial, dependence, and alignment with Him. When we humble ourselves, wait actively, and cling to His Word, God deposits what we need on the inside so He can do what only He...

🎯 BIG IDEA : When we give God the first of our year through prayer and fasting, we reconnect with Him and break our attachment to the world. Some breakthroughs will not happen any other way. Why? Prayer and fasting is how God reconnects our hearts and leads us into real change. 📖 Matthew 6, Matthew 17:14-21

BIG IDEA: This week we wrapped up our Advent mental health series—the Advent of the Mind of Christ—by exposing how lies become open doors, open doors become strongholds, and strongholds become bondage when we agree with what the enemy whispers. From 2 Corinthians 10 and Ephesians 4, we learned that our battle is spiritual, the battlefield is the mind, and freedom is found when we take every though...
