Preemptive Strike continues this week. We are discovering the power of our choices, in particular our pre-choices! Loyalty isn’t forged in the moment; it’s a decision made long before. In this study, we’ll explore the power of being steadfast and loyal to God, to others, and to the values we hold dear. If we would learn to do this preemptive strike – our lives would be radically better, different, and we would find great joy in the adventure.
Jeff explores the powerful story of Joseph facing an unimaginable situation when Mary announces her divine pregnancy. Through Joseph’s example, we learn five key principles for handling life’s unexpected moments: focus on God’s character, remember His faithfulness, take the next step without seeing the end, seek wisdom, and stay open to surprises. A timely Christmas message about trusting God when circumstances defy explanation.

Preemptive Strike is the name of this new series here at The Church @ 434. It is designed to help each of us explore the power of making intentional pre-choices that shape our lives. We’ll discover how committing to key principles in advance gives us the strength to face life’s challenges and uncertainties. By pre-deciding our values, we become proactive in our faith journey, living with purpose and resilience. The opening message sets the stage for understanding why making pre-choices matters.
Today, we’re diving into the final ultimate code-cracking adventure!
We are going to take each piece of what we have learned in the course of this series and see how it weaves together to form the Master Key to living The Great Commandment in our lives each day. If we can do this on a regular basis, it will become our habit, and who know? We might just become greater at living out the great commandment. Let’ finish up cracking the code together.
Today we start putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. We have broken down the clues and now we crack the code. This study unlocks an important step in The Code—the Overflow Algorithm, showing how a life fully dedicated to loving God naturally spills over into loving others. It will focus on practical ways to let this love influence the world around us.
It has been said, never discuss religion or politics at dinner – if you do, it will ruin the dinner and there will be a fight. Well, guess what? It is time to ruin the dinner!
Join us in the next rotation of CORE during Mid-Week @ 434 for this timely study designed for adults. This is a brutally honest, hard-hitting, light-hearted, and without a doubt a thought-provoking 4-week Bible study where we dive into the wild world of elections and how faith can keep us grounded when the political circus rolls into town. We’ll cover everything from praying for candidates (even the ones you can’t stand) to trusting God when the results leave you scratching your head. Expect plenty of laughs, moments of self-reflection, and a whole lot of faith-building as we explore how our trust in God should always be stronger than our trust in polls! You will come away with a clear understanding of how important your vote is, how you vote in a way that honors Jesus, and how do you navigate the world of politics in a way that honors God!
