This week we continued our series, “MONEY TALKS”, as we’ve been exposing the lies mammon speaks to us. One lie money tells us is that life is all about us. It tells us to look at life through the “me” lens. When life happens around us it encourages us to ask, “What about me? How will this affect me? What’s in it for me?” Think this way long enough and before we know it life becomes a Hollywood movie we’re the main character of. In that we will live to level up, stand out, become significant, and write an incredible story for ourselves. In Matthew 19 a guy came to Jesus known as the “The Rich Young Ruler.” What a cool title. This guy had it all: wealth, health, youth, power, reputation, and a sweet stage name. But all he wants from Jesus is for Jesus to help him finish HIS story. He says, “Jesus what good things must ‘I’ do to earn eternal life?” The reality is there was nothing he could do to earn salvation on his own. But money had convinced him that life, and even eternity, was more about him than Jesus, more about what he could do than what Jesus could do.  The Rich Young Ruler essentially offers Jesus a supporting role in his movie. Jesus declines. Why? Because Jesus does not play supporting roles in our stories. This week we unpacked it all with you in a message called, “Main Character Energy.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 7am (Sacrament Service), 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 4:30pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at [email protected]!Decided To Follow Jesus?

Have you ever heard someone say, “Money talks.” This is a phrase that speaks to the power and leverage money can give us with people, in business, or in negotiation. We would call this phrase a metaphor because it’s not like money can actually speak… right?In Matthew 6 Jesus does not literally say “money talks,” but he does use a different name for money that gives it life… Mammon. Mammon is a very misunderstood word in scripture because there is not a great word in English for it. In fact most of our English translations merely use the word “money” in place of mammon. But mammon is much more than money. Mammon is not just cash, but it is depicted as a demon that tempts us. Meaning, when Jesus talks about money in Matthew 6, he’s not just talking about budgets, he’s talking about spiritual warfare. Ephesians 6 tells us that “our struggle is not against flesh and blood… but against the powers of this dark world.” We all feel this spiritual battle going on over money inside of us daily. The battle for money can give us anxiety, shame, fear, and exhaustion in the pursuit of more and more. In the midst of this battle money does speak to our soul. It says things like, “Get more of me and you’ll have a good life. Chase me and I’ll give you security. Trust in me and you’ll be happy.” Yet mammon promises to give us what only Jesus can. In this series we ask the question, “What’s money been saying to you lately?” I can’t wait to unpack it all with you this Sunday as we jump into this series called, “Money Talks.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 7am (Sacrament Service), 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 4:30pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at [email protected]!Decided To Follow Jesus?

You know the feeling. You send the message, you see the tiny word in grey, "Read", and then the three little dots appear… and disappear. Now imagine that’s your prayer. You’ve asked, you know He’s heard, and you’re still waiting.This Sunday, we wrapped up our series W8 On The Lord by listening in on a conversation Habakkuk has with God – when what he sees with his eyes, doesn't line up with what believes in his heart about God. God's answer might surprise.Tune into this week’s message called, “…Left On Read”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 7am (Sacrament Service), 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 4:30pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at [email protected]!Decided To Follow Jesus?

This week, we continued our “W8 On The Lord” series by diving into what it looks like to trust God when life feels like it’s coming at us from every direction.In 2 Kings 6, Elisha finds himself surrounded by an enemy army. But while his servant sees a battle they can’t win, Elisha sees a God who is greater than anything coming against them.Sometimes the miracle isn’t that God changes your circumstances, but that He changes your perspective.And here’s the thing... how you wait and how you win matters. Sometimes the greatest victory isn’t defeating your enemy. It’s refusing to become like your enemy.Don’t let the wait make you bitter when God wants to make you better!Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 7am (Sacrament Service), 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 4:30pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at [email protected]!Decided To Follow Jesus?

This year has absolutely flown by. And yet somehow, it also hasn’t.In parenting, the saying is, “The days are long, but the years are short.” That rings true for more than just parenting.There are parts of life we wish we could slow down and hold onto a little longer. Then there are seasons we’d give anything to speed up. We don’t want to savor them. We just want to get through them.That’s especially true when we find ourselves waiting.When we’re somewhere between where we are and where we want to be, it’s easy to put our heads down and look for the fastest way to whatever comes next.But rushing through the waiting can cause us to miss what God has for us in it: His grace, the comfort He provides, opportunities for growth, and most importantly, His presence. When we hurry through these moments, we risk not only missing out on what He’s doing, but missing out on Him.That means that the time between where we are and where we’re going isn’t just the meantime, it’s the time.So how do we live faithfully in the meantime without rushing, forcing, or wasting a season God wants to use?That’s what we dove into this weekend, as we continued our series, ‘W8 On The Lord’, with a message called, “In The Meantime”.Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 7am (Sacrament Service), 8am, 9:30am, 11:15am, & 4:30pm (C&V Service).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at [email protected]!Decided To Follow Jesus?
