🤲🏾 Still Trusting, Even When You’re Tired?
|
Happy Tuesday Reader! Sunday’s message hit home for a lot of us. We ran a quick poll during the livestream, and 88% of people said this one line felt most real: “I’m tired, but I’m still trusting.” Maybe that’s you, too. You’re not doubting God. You’re just running on empty. But here’s the good news: God sees that kind of faith. The quiet kind. The kind that shows up anyway. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart. Psalm 73:26 (NLT) I want to encourage you this week. We’ve put together a few things to help: ✅ Sermon Replay Missed it or need to hear it again?

One step at a time. 🧭 What's Next For Mars Hill?We are moving decisively toward a permanent facility. When we sold our building four years ago, we trusted God’s leading. Now, with energy costs straining many congregations, we can see how He protected us. Instead of pouring funds into rising utilities, we’ve been able to direct resources into people, discipleship, and mission. That choice didn’t set us back. It set us up so we can take the next step with strength, faith, and financial clarity.
