Faith. It's a big word that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. But what exactly is faith? And how do Jesus and the writers of the Bible define faith? This series will explore the answers to those questions and the difference they make.

Often when the future is uncertain and we're afraid, we take the safe road or the one we feel we can control. We trust who we THINK is able rather than trusting the God who IS able. But how do we trust God when we can't see the future or what God will do? In this message, we meet three people from history who show us how.

Life right now isn't going at all how any of us had planned. And you may have heard someone say it's OK because God works everything out for good. But is that true? And how do we practically navigate through a life that doesn't seem like it's headed toward the happy ending we had in mind?

In his greatest sermon, Jesus paints a vivid picture of life in the kingdom of God. A life where happiness and blessings are found in the worst moments. A life where worry doesn’t overtake our minds. We can find this life by leaning into God’s power and presence in every moment. And when we do, we find peace knowing that we are never alone. And we’re reminded that, in His kingdom, the world is a perfectly safe place for us to be.

Control is a myth. We feel like we’re in control because we can manipulate small portions of life, but sooner or later something happens that exposes the truth - we’re not in control of things. And our current crisis has revealed that to all of us in lots of ways. But through a memorable encounter with His disciples, Jesus revealed to us something about the God who is in control.
