    By Faith Jacob Blessed Each of the Sons of Joseph

    We like to think we’re independent people, but nothing could be further from the truth. We depend on air to breathe, water for hydration, food to nourish our bodies, and sleep to restore our energy. We depend on money to meet our needs and technology to communicate, work, and get things done. We depend on transportation to get us where we need to be, and electricity to power our homes and other devices we use each day. What about God? We are utterly dependent on him as the giver of life, who provides us with all that we need, and who holds all things together. As Acts 17:25 says, “…he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” Yet, how often do we act as if we can navigate through life and manage everything it throws at us without God? Jacob is an example of this in many ways. He repeatedly tried to manipulate situations and control outcomes. By the end of his life, we begin to see a different side of Jacob. Scripture tells us that, as Jacob neared death, he leaned on his staff and worshipped God. It may seem like an insignificant detail, but it shows us the picture of an old, weak, and frail man, who had learned to trust and depend on God. In his younger years, he relied on his own cleverness and strength, but now he looked to the God who had carried him through, and whose providence and faithfulness were undeniable in his life. That’s what we’ll see as we get back into our By Faith series through Hebrews 11. Series: By Faith Message 7: By Faith Jacob Blessed Each of the Sons of Joseph Text: Hebrews 11:21 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston October 25, 2026 As I lean on the Lord in my life, I learn to… …anchor myself in his promises. (Genesis 48:1-7) God’s promises… 1) …help us persevere. 2) …teach us to trust him. 3) …encourage us to have patience. 4) …stir up courage. 5) …bring us peace. 6) …give us hope. "I WILL..." – God of everlasting promises I will be with you (Joshua 1:5) I will strengthen you (Isaiah 41:10) I will hear from heaven and forgive (2 Chronicles 7:14) I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28) I will come again (John 14:3) …expect him to do God things. (Genesis 48:8-11) …recognize that his purposes go beyond me. (Genesis 48:12-22)

    You Shall Love The Lord Your God

    This Sunday is our Anniversary Sunday! We officially launched our campus in October 2024, and here we are two years later, thankful for all God has done and looking forward to all he has in store for us. From the beginning, we’ve set out to be a church that loves God, loves others, and makes more and better disciples of Jesus. These are still our goals today, but it's easy to lose sight of them, especially when we get comfortable or let less important things distract us. This is why we’ll take a break from our By Faith sermon series this week and look instead at Deuteronomy 6:4–9, where Israel was commanded to love the Lord their God with all their heart, soul, and might. This command, which Jesus affirmed as the greatest command, came at a pivotal time in Israel’s history as they prepared to enter the Promised Land. It was a timely reminder for the people to keep God at the centre as they followed him into the next phase of their journey together. So, as we celebrate two full years of ministry in Alliston, it seems fitting to draw our attention there as well. This is a timely opportunity for us, both individually and as a church, to remember why we’re here and renew our commitment to the mission he has called us to. Series: Single Message: You Shall Love The Lord Your God Text: Deuteronomy 6:4-9 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston October 18, 2026 When I am serious about following Jesus, I will… …love God (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) While it’s simplistic to say that worship is love, it’s a fact that what we love most will determine what we genuinely worship. – Bob Kauflin Jeremiah 9:23-24a 1 John 4:9 Romans 8:23 …love people (Matthew 22:37-40) Ten ways to love people within the church: Outdo others in showing honour. (Romans 12:10) Welcome others. (Romans 15:7) Serve others. (Galatians 5:13) Do not provoke others. (Galatians 5:26) Bear the burdens of others. (Galatians 6:2) Be patient with others. (Ephesians 4:2) Encourage others. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) Pray for others. (James 5:16) Show hospitality to one another. (1 Peter 4:9) Use your gifts for others. (1 Peter 4:10) What has your personal experience been in being part of a Life Group? “The Life Group has been a blessing to me. It blesses me to hear how God is working in others’ lives and to know others are praying for the things that concern me. I’m grateful for the prayers and encouragement through times of waiting. I’m thankful for the deeper dive into the Word of God. It blesses me to know others have questions and want a closer walk with God.” “I am so appreciative and grateful to be a part of a Life Group and to have a church family to walk alongside me during such a difficult season in my life. Everything I had known and thought blew up on me literally overnight and I was all alone. Ashamed, but humbly, I went to my Life Group that I had just joined, and God surrounded me with prayer warriors and support like I have never known before." “Even as a young, busy family, we’ve realized just how much we need community and how life-changing being part of a small group can be. Through one of the hardest financial seasons of our lives, our small group has loved us, prayed for us, supported us, and shown us what true generosity looks like. We’ve learned that we were never meant to walk through life’s hardest seasons alone, and we truly encourage every family to make space for this kind of community in their lives. You need to be in a Life Group! It’s awesome and necessary!” …love the mission (Matthew 28:18-20) The church is a local community of believers who gather for worship and scatter for witness. They share life together centred on Jesus for the good of one another, and for the good of the world. - Tony Merida, Love Your Church

    By Faith Isaac Invoked Future Blessings on Jacob and Esau

    What does your future hold? That’s a question we all wish we had the answer to. We want to ensure that our future holds good things. Whether it’s the big promotion, the big prize, or the big opportunity. We want our kids and families to thrive, our church to be spirit-filled and led, our relationships to grow, and our dreams to become reality. So we make plans, set goals and expectations, and work hard. Even then, life still doesn't always go as we hoped. When it doesn’t, we often struggle to trust that God’s will and ways are better than our own. Even though we know he is over all, and we have seen him work in countless miraculous ways before, and we know that what lies ahead is best in his hands. We can make plans for tomorrow, but we don’t even know IF there will be a tomorrow, let alone WHAT tomorrow might bring. This series, By Faith, has helped us remember that whatever God has in store for us, it is far better than anything we could ever come up with on our own, and we will continue to see this together on Sunday as we look at the life of Isaac. We have little control over what comes next, but we can trust the only God who has it all, if for no other reason than this: he is God; sovereign, supreme, and faithful. Series: By Faith Message 6: By Faith Isaac Invoked Future Blessings on Jacob and Esau Text: Hebrews 11:20 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston October 11, 2026 As I look to what God will do, I will… …let go of what I can’t control (Genesis 27:1-33) Top 10 list of things that would be better if I were in charge: 10) Spam phone calls 9) The neighbour’s dog 8) Waiting lines 7) The economy 6) Road construction/road conditions 5) Cellphone reception/Wifi 4) The sports teams I cheer for 3) Gas prices 2) Traffic 1) The weather Proverbs 19:5 Genesis 25:23 Every time I deliberately disobey a command of God, it is because I am in that moment doubtful as to God’s true intentions in giving me that command. – Milton Vincent …rest in what he’s already determined (Genesis 27:34-40) Proverbs 19:21 Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right. – Max Lucado

    By Faith Sarah Received Power To Conceive

    Do you ever find yourself getting impatient with God? Is there something that you are waiting on him for right now? If you were a fly on the wall in my home or office, you may often hear me, in frustration, singing the chorus to that Tom Petty song, “The waiting is the hardest part!” We all understand that waiting isn’t easy! This week, as we once again turn to Hebrews 11, we will look at Sarah (and Abraham’s) faith. While they boldly trusted God’s call to leave their home, they then spent years waiting for the fulfillment of his promise that they would become “a great nation”! During this time, we see at different points that their faith wavered. In his book, Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis wrote, “…I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait.” While waiting can be hard and we don’t always understand it, we can trust that God is always at work, that he will be glorified, and that it is for our good! Whatever it is that you are waiting on God for today, you can trust that he is faithful to us and works with us even when our faith wavers! Series: By Faith Message 5: By Faith Sarah Received Power To Conceive Text: Hebrews 11:11-12 Nathan Hooper Harvest Alliston October 4, 2026 As a person who has been called to follow God, I can be confident that he will… …work even when my faith is weak (v.11a) “Appearances can be deceptive. The fact that we cannot see what God is doing does not mean that He is doing nothing. The Lord has His own timetable. It is we who must learn to adjust to it, not vice versa. When God’s time comes nothing will stand in His way. We can therefore wait for Him with this happy confidence…His way is perfect.” – Sinclair Ferguson, Discovering God’s Will …faithfully keep his promises (v.11b) Numbers 23:19 It is true that the faith, which I am enabled to exercise, is altogether God's own gift; it is true that He alone supports it, and that He alone can increase it; it is true that, moment by moment, I depend upon Him for it, and that, if I were only for one moment left to myself, my faith would utterly fail. – George Müller Faith is as strong as the object of our belief, Jesus Christ. It does not depend on how “hard” we try. We may be…those of (little) faith, but Jesus is invincibly powerful. Our hope then is not relegated to our spiritual impotence but bound to the greater, mountain-moving power of Jesus Christ. In this way, we can come to Christ over and over again to make the same admission of the anguished father, “I do believe! Help my unbelief!” – Matthew Everhard, Word by Word Isaiah 25:1 Philippians 1:6 5 Reasons God Calls Us to Wait: 1) Because we live in a broken world 2) Because God is Sovereign 3) Because God is a God of Grace 4) So we can minister to others 5) For the increase of God’s glory – Paul Tripp, 5 Reasons Why God Calls Us to Wait …he will do more than I expect (v.12) Philippians 2:6-8 Ephesians 2:4-10 Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. – Corrie Ten Boom

    By Faith Abraham Obeyed God When He Was Tested

    As I prepared to write this message, I wrote down the following thought: Do you believe that God is the God of the impossible and miraculous? If your answer is yes, it might be because you’ve seen him at work through improbable, bizarre, and yet incredible situations in your life and in the lives of those around you. Despite this, it’s often still hard for us to trust him, remembering and believing his promises, isn’t it? We don't always admit it out loud, but, for example, you might have seen the most unlikely people come to Christ, yet struggle to believe he will save the loved ones you’ve been praying for over the years. Or maybe you’ve seen God provide when things were tight financially, and even remembering those times, you still can’t make the math math, so you struggle to trust that he will provide when you face financial strain. Maybe you remember how God opened doors of opportunity that you never expected, but now you struggle to believe that he will open the right doors at the right time. As we continue our series through Hebrews 11, we’ll be reminded that God made some awesome promises to Abraham, and all God called Abraham to do was trust him and follow him, one step at a time. When we trust and follow, we can expect him to demonstrate his perfect faithfulness to us. Series: By Faith Message 4: By Faith Abraham Obeyed God When He Was Tested Text: Hebrews 11:8-10, 17-19 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston September 27, 2026 When I believe the promises of God, I will… …follow his lead (v. 8-9) 2 Corinthians 5:21 2 Corinthians 5:17 …live for the eternal (v. 10) Galatians 3:29 Time is short. Eternity is long. It is only reasonable that this short life be lived in the light of eternity. – Charles Spurgeon …surrender what I treasure most (v. 17-18) …anticipate the miraculous (v. 19)

    By Faith Noah Constructed an Ark in Reverent Fear of God

    What do you do when you see a sign that says, “Beware of dog”? The logical thing to do is assume the sign is accurate and that it’s there for your safety; therefore, you should beware of said dog. I don’t know about you, but I don’t need to see the dog or experience the danger it’s warning me about before deciding whether to heed the sign. I’d rather err on the side of caution, trust what the sign says, and respond accordingly. That’s where we find Noah. God warned him about events to come, though they were still unseen. God told Noah that he would send a flood to bring judgment upon the world because of its sin and rebellion against God. This flood would destroy everyone and everything. But Noah had never seen anything like what God was warning him about. He couldn’t physically see the events God had described since they hadn’t happened yet. But he didn’t need to see it to believe God. Noah chose to trust what God had said and respond accordingly by faith. As we look at Noah in Hebrews 11 this week, the question for us is: Will we trust God even when we can’t see what he is doing? Series: By Faith Message 3: By Faith Noah Constructed an Ark in Reverent Fear of God Text: Hebrews 11:7 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston September 20, 2026 When I can’t see what God is doing, I will… …trust him still (Genesis 6:1-10) …fear him rightly (Genesis 6:11-13) Psalm 5:4-6 Romans 6:1 …do what he says (Genesis 6:14-7:5) True obedience is the refusal to compromise in any regard our relationship with God, regardless of the consequences. - A.W. Tozer …see that he is good (Genesis 7:6-9:17)

    By Faith Enoch Walked With God Pleasing Him

    There can be something profoundly personal about walking with someone. Think about it, especially in the context of our Western culture. If I told you I regularly go for walks with my wife and family, none of you would think twice about it. If anything, you might think that’s good, healthy, and sweet. But if I told you that, once in a while, Derek, our worship director, and I go for casual strolls together, you might think that’s a little odd. Some might argue it shouldn’t be, but for most of us, that’s our perception. In some cultures, it’s customary for people to link arms or hold hands while walking, even when a man walks with another man. It isn’t romantic in any way; it simply communicates closeness and companionship between the two people. This is interesting because Scripture uses the picture of walking to describe the kind of relationship we have with God. So, when it says that “Enoch walked with God” we automatically understand this isn’t referring to the places they went together, but to the close and intimate relationship they had. Enoch didn’t just know about God; he knew him deeply and personally. His life was changed because of this, and ours can be too. So, as we continue our series in Hebrews 11, we’ll consider our own walk with God and ask ourselves: Do we pursue him in everything? Do we live in a way that pleases him? Do we point others back to him? Series: By Faith Message 2: By Faith Enoch Walked With God Pleasing Him Text: Hebrews 11:5-6 Patrice Charade Harvest Alliston September 13, 2026 As I walk with God, I will… …seek him in all my ways (Genesis 5:18-24) Ephesians 2:13 …live out a life of praise (Hebrews 11:5-6) 1 Samuel 15:22 We forget that God’s primary goal is not changing our situations or relationships so that we can be happy, but changing us through our situations and relationships so that we will be holy. - Paul David Tripp Romans 6:13 Romans 12:1b …warn others of the coming days (Jude 1: 14-15)
