It’s been a long road – getting from there to here….it’s been a long time, but the time is finally here. The journey of The Church @ 434 is nothing short of miraculous. Once again, today we get a chance to slow down, catch our breath, and make sure we celebrate the incredible journey that Jesus has given us the opportunity to take together. Sit back, relax, worship and get energized this morning on Surge Day
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.

Today, we embark on a new series titled “Shades,” where we’ll explore how our perspectives shape our lives and faith.
We don’t see life as it is – we see it through the lenses we wear.
Some wear cracked, dirty, or distorted lenses and see everything through the fog of defeat, fear, or regret.
Healthy people wear lenses of promise, where they see everything with faith, hope and trust in God.
The difference isn’t the scenery – it is the clarity and the condition of the lenses.
What kind of SHADES are you wearing?
“Faith begins at the edge of fear.” It’s the step you take when you can’t control the outcome. But that step doesn’t have to be a giant one. Drawing from the incredible focus of athletes like Michael Phelps and the simple wisdom of a child who is a “tryer,” not a “quitter,” this message will reframe how you see your own potential.
You were built to do the impossible. Learn why the difference between an average achiever and an extraordinary one is often just one more decision, one new idea, or one extra minute of focus. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid, this is your guide to taking that first small step that allows your faith to finally take flight.
