There is a great epidemic in culture right now and it’s centered around despair. We have lost sight of Jesus and have allowed the lies of the enemy to cast a shadow over our lives. In the shade of this deceit we have become misguided in our purpose and skewed in our expectations. We forget where our hope is found and fall into despair as our uncertainty of the future grows. Join us today as we begin to reposition ourselves into the light of truth and fight the shadows of the enemy.

“If at first you don’t succeed, then give up because it wasn’t for you.” As silly as that may seem when read in a sentence, it’s often the way we handle failures in our own lives. We have convinced ourselves that it is the death sentence of our dreams. Perhaps the only thing worse is having some level of success and then slipping backwards for a moment. We need to become confident in the truth that failure isn’t fatal and that God will still use us in its aftermath.

For those of us who put our trust in Christ later in life,or ran away from his call, there are bound to be reasons you feel unqualified for unworthy. But the gospel is so powerful that our transformation becomes a profound testimony to God’s goodness and grace.

We all develop gradually. Failure isn’t always a sign that we can’t cut it. Sometimes we’re trying to operate at a level that we’re not mature enough to handle. We can always outgrow those kinds of failings, provided we don’t give up. Join us as we look at John Mark’s story of desertion and redemption.

Burnout is only permanent if you allow it to be. Don’t listen to everything that you’re tempted to believe when you’re exhausted. Take time to care for yourself physically, spiritually, and emotionally-and then get back in the game. Join us tonight as we look at the story of Elijah and what we can learn from his breakdown.

Confessing our shortcomings and failure isn’t something that seems to come naturally or easy. Often when confronted with our sin, we double down, make excuses, or even try to hide. We have convinced ourselves that if we are found out, it will be the end of everything we have built and all that we love. When we have sinned, we must recognize it and repent. God’s forgiveness doesn’t save us from the consequences of our conduct, but if we’ve abandoned the behavior and are willing to accept the consequences, God will still use us.

Join us for a special Cedar Point Recovery message.

Approximately two thirds of believers have found themselves with questions or doubts at some point in their journey. But many make it through stronger by having faced their honest questions, especially when they have a community to help guide them through it. Join us tonight as we look at doubt and what to do with it.
