In this message, we look at the Story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, & Abednego. These men lived under immense cultural pressure to compromise their faith. Yet respectfully defiant, they honored God, and God showed up for them in miraculous ways. Likewise, we are pressured by culture or government to compromise our faith; we choose to honor God. We don’t bow to the cultural norms of society, but we are a light with grace and truth to God’s unchanging word.

In this message, we look at another part of Moses’ life, leading the Israelites out of Egypt. In this part of scripture, we see the Egyptians pursuing Israel, attempting to reenslave them. And when Israel seemed to reach a dead end in their escape, God made a way! But, it required Moses to DO SOMETHING with what God had placed in Moses’ hand. Likewise, there is something God has placed in your hands. Something He’s called, anointed, and equipped you to do. And when we learn to cooperate with His grace and call on our lives, we see Him show up and do the miraculous.

Moses is the most prominent figure in the Old Testament. From the Exodus of Egypt to leading Israel through the wilderness, Moses had a close relationship with God, and his story has many applications for us today. In this message, we discuss Moses' upbringing in Egypt and God's call to lead the people of Israel out of oppression and into freedom.

The story of Joseph has many modern-day applications. He was betrayed multiple times, even by family. Was unjustly accused and worked low-end jobs. Yet, through everything life threw his way, he maintained integrity, stayed faithful, and as a result, God promoted him time after time. God gave him wisdom, and Joseph flourished in the worst of circumstances. Just like Joseph, no matter what season of life you're in, no matter what life or people have thrown your way, you can flourish. But the key to living in the favor of God in any situation is faithfulness.

Abraham is known in scripture as the “Father of our Faith.” He was given promises by God for children, places to live, and abundance. And Abraham followed God’s direction even when it didn’t make sense.

But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:6-7

It’s apparent in Scripture that there is a “planting” aspect with our generosity. It’s not just kissing money goodbye, but there is a harvest (increase) the Lord adds to us through our generosity. However, just like planting a garden, once you plant, there is cultivation of the seed that is necessary. This is the watering process. Just as Paul mentioned in 1 Corinthians 3, “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” It’s God’s responsibility to bring the increase, but it’s our responsibility to plant and water the seed. But what does this look like? In this message, Pastor Cory talks about the importance and practicality of watering the seed of the Word in our lives.

The world has a definition of generosity, but we say it like this: Generosity is having NO LIMITS. There is a life of abundance and radical generosity that God calls us to. And when we learn to lean into that Grace, God accelerates us in ways we couldn’t even imagine.

You do well and excel in every respect—in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity. (2 Corinthians 8:7 Passion)

There is a grace that comes on and empowers us to live generously. Scripture says, “God gives seed to the sower.” In other words, when we get addicted to generosity, God will support our habit. The question is, when we see increase in our lives, what do we do with that increase? Pastor Cory shares about that and an exciting project our church is taking on.
