Today is the final installment in our series “Shades” – Together we have made a lot of discoveries and have been challenged to rethink HOW we see things in our world. We even got a bonus session last where we talked about the Greatest Homecoming. Today we go to a very familiar and often quoted verse. This verse is often quoted in times of struggle, but let’s unpack it to really understand how it can transform our hopelessness into hopefulness. What you are getting ready to see, yes – really see is that the verse that gives us the prescription of how to view the world because it helps us understand how God sees it

Today we pick back up with our series called Shades. After a week off we want to take a quick review. In Cracked Lenses we saw how we must move from a life of regret to a life of redemption. In Foggy Lenses we discovered that our lives don’t have to be defined by anxiety and worry but instead can be lives of assurance. Today, we find there is still another type of lens that we often view life through. It is something that everyone battles and is very real. Dark Lenses…these are the types of lenses that keep us fixated on the circumstantial and blinded from the spiritual. These lenses have to be changed and with His help they can! Get ready, it will be fun!

Is your faith making the impact it’s meant to? This powerful wrap-up to “Faith Takes Flight” challenges believers to embrace the sometimes-uncomfortable reality of sharing biblical truth in a world obsessed with feelings. We examine Matthew 6:33-34, revealing why a focus on God’s kingdom liberates us from worry, and confront the cultural lie that “this is how God made me.” Discover why being “mad at God” often masks a deeper resistance to truth, and learn 10 practical steps—including shedding burdens, staying in community, and heeding God’s voice—to ensure your faith not only takes off but consistently soars. Learn to deliver truth with conviction, knowing that genuine faith won’t always be popular, but it will always be powerful.

Get ready to challenge your perspective! This sermon boldly declares that in a world that rejects Jesus, a strong faith will inevitably be “offensive.” We explore the importance of seeking God’s kingdom first, understanding the unwavering nature of truth, and refusing to let personal offense cripple your spiritual walk. It’s time to let your faith truly take flight.

In the series Shades, we are challenging you with the question – What kind of Shades are you wearing?
Last week, we talked about Cracked Lenses, and today, we’re tackling what happens when worry clouds our vision—like trying to see through foggy glasses.
Do you find yourself wrecked with worry way too often? If so, then what do you say? Let’s try to defog the fog!

Have you ever felt like you were on the verge of a breakthrough, only to be pulled back by the past? You might be having a “Waterloo moment” without even realizing it.
In this message, we unpack the surprising truth behind Napoleon’s final defeat—a victory that turned into a devastating loss because of one forgotten detail. This story perfectly illustrates the wisdom of Philippians 3:13-14. The “one thing” the Apostle Paul says we must do is the very thing we often ignore, allowing our “cracked lenses” of regret and rubbish to define our future.
It’s time to identify the missing “nails” in your spiritual life and learn how to finally let your faith take flight.
