Show Notes
Fear has a way of convincing us to play small, hide our true selves, and settle for less than what God created us to do. In Week 1 of our new sermon series, Fear-Less, Pastor Charles Metcalf challenged us to confront the fears that silently shape our lives. We uncovered four common fears that affect us all: the fear of man, the fear of loss, the fear of failure, and the fear of inadequacy. But God's plan isn't simply to remove those fears; it's to replace them with a holy fear. When our God-awareness becomes greater than our self-awareness, fear loses its power and faith begins to lead. For the duration of this series and beyond, may we become less aware of ourselves and more aware of God.

You don't need a perfect past to have a powerful future! What if the very thing you've been through is what God wants to use to transform your future? In this panel, Pastor Michael & Natalie Todd sit down with Carl & Laura Lentz for an honest conversation about overcoming betrayal, offense, opposition, infidelity, and the weight of other people's opinions. Together, they unpack what it means to grow through life's most difficult seasons, embrace accountability without allowing shame to define you, and keep moving forward when others can't see who you're becoming. Your past doesn't disqualify you from God's purpose, and opposition doesn't mean God isn't for you! Your story isn't over, and God is still writing your future!
You have work to do, and fear cannot be the reason you don't finish it! For Conference Sunday, Pastor Travis Greene reminded us that God has given you an assignment that requires you to LIVE boldly, DIE to the parts of yourself holding you back, and FINISH what He started in you. Jesus understood the urgency of His purpose, and that same intentionality is required of us today. It's time to stop negotiating with fear, take the risk, and become the person God has called you to be. You weren't created to simply exist—you were created to fulfill your assignment!Because I Have Work to Do, I Must…LIVE: Take the risk that's terrifying.DIE: Stop negotiating with the worst parts of you.FINISH: Who will I be at the end of my life? Be that person today.
