In seasons of darkness, life can feel narrow and shallow. But the Bible reminds us that God “does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.” This devotional is a powerful reminder that even when you don’t understand your circumstances, you can have security in a Savior who does. Using wisdom from the book of Job, we’ll discuss how to shift your perspective from your problems to God’s power and the critical importance of surrounding yourself with friends who speak with godly wisdom. It’s time to change the way you see the world.

The stuff that goes on in our head is wilder than a three ring circus and more dangerous than being locked in a cage with a wild animal.
The reality is, even though we often don’t realize and remember it is that God loves us so much He does not want our lives to be defined by stinking thinking – He made our brains – He can retrain our brains – and He is the Thought Tamer. Today, get ready to step into The Brain Cage

Forget superficial small talk. We’re on a mission to build a church family where people are truly known. In this kickoff to our “Connect at 434” series, we introduce the “Holy Hot Seat” and ask the questions that lead to life-changing relationships. Watch as laughter and tears mix while our members share stories of near-death experiences, family heartbreak, and profound sacrifice. This isn’t just another church service; it’s an invitation to find the kind of connection that changes everything.

That gap between the results you want and the slow progress you’re actually making? We call that the “Valley of Discouragement,” and it’s where “stinking thinking” thrives. This session introduces a transformational model to help you cross that valley.
Instead of being defined by your goals, learn to fall in love with the systems that build your character and faith. By understanding the “Three Rings of Crazy” (Identity, Process, Outcomes), you can learn to tame your thoughts, find joy in the journey, and experience the exponential growth God has for you.

Before light, before form, the Spirit of God hovered over the “Mayim” (מַיִם) – the waters. This profound opening image of the Bible sets the stage for a recurring theme that resonates through Scripture and into our lives today. Join us as we explore the Hebrew word for water, “Mayim,” and uncover its deep theological significance. From Noah’s flood to the Jordan River, and the calming of the Sea of Galilee, water often symbolizes chaos, danger, and the insurmountable. Yet, each instance reveals a consistent truth: God is always in control, actively working above and through the turbulent waters to bring salvation and guidance. This isn’t just a linguistic lesson; it’s an anchor for your soul in times of uncertainty, reminding you that God’s sovereignty, established at the very beginning, remains steadfast today.
