What to do [FIRST NAME GOES HERE] 🌍 When the World Feels Like It’s Falling Apart…
|
Happy Hump Day! Ever feel like life is moving faster than your soul can process? Like the headlines scream louder than your prayers? You’re not alone. This week, we’re returning to the One who offers steady peace in a shaky world. No hype. No pressure. Just hope. Here’s What You Need to Know This Week:What: Sunday Worship Experience ("Pull up" or "Log on" This Sunday) 📖 Teaching Highlight Sermon Title: When the World Feels Like It’s Falling Apart Scripture Focus: John 14:27 This week’s message reminded us that panic may be loud, but peace speaks to those who slow down and listen. Jesus never promised a life without trouble. He promised a peace the world can’t give and chaos can’t cancel. If your mind has been racing or your heart has been heavy, this message is for you. Watch it again and share it with someone who needs a steady word in a shaky world. 🎥 Watch the Replay on YouTube or our Website​ Midweek EncouragementYou do not have to chase peace. You just need to stop long enough to receive it. The news might be loud. The pace might be fast. But peace is not found in the absence of noise. It is found in the presence of God. Take a moment this week. Breathe. Pray. You are not holding yourself together by willpower. God is holding you by grace. Also Worth Noting:We also launched a new YouTube playlist: Real Faith for Real Life. Faith isn’t just for Sundays. It’s for broken relationships, anxiety, decision-making, and more. This playlist offers real talk, biblical wisdom, and practical steps to grow your faith.
