Boldly Trusting

Habakkuk 1:12-2:1
08/10/2025

How Do I Trust God When I Don't Feel Like Trusting God

In this sermon, we explore the difficult question: how do we trust God when we don’t feel like trusting Him? Using the prophet Habakkuk’s cry to God, we see that just because God doesn’t answer, react, or do things our way doesn’t mean He isn’t listening, aware, or working. Drawing from Scripture and powerful examples, Steve Yeaton encourages us to trust in God’s timing and sovereignty, even in the midst of doubt and hardship. Key Scriptures: Habakkuk 1:1-11, Mark 4:38, John 11:21, Exodus 2:23-24, Proverbs 15:29, 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, Romans 12:9, James 5:16 Discussion Questions: When have you wondered if God is listening to you? When has God answered your prayer in an unexpected way? How can focusing on God’s overall plan help you accept what He may or may not be doing in your life right now?

What Every Church Always Needs

2 Timothy 1:16-18 In every generation, in every church, there’s one thing that’s always needed—encouragement for those who lead. In this week’s message, we look at the quiet strength of a man named Onesiphorus, who sought out Paul in prison to encourage him during a dark season. His faithfulness reminds us that encouraging church leaders isn’t just thoughtful—it’s essential. Why? Because the work of the church is essential. Because the work of the church doesn’t just happen. Because the work of the church is heavily opposed. From Moses with Aaron and Hur, to Paul with Onesiphorus, Scripture paints a powerful picture of what it means to hold up one another’s arms in the mission of God. Whether you're a leader or a supporter, this message will challenge and inspire you to lean into the ministry of encouragement. 💬 “He often visited and encouraged me.” – 2 Timothy 1:16 (NLT)

The Call of Every Christ Follower

Known to God: The Call of Every Christ Follower We may not all be called to be like Peter, preaching to crowds or performing miracles—but every Christ follower is called to be like Dorcas: faithful, compassionate, and a blessing to others. In this message, we’ll explore how the early church lived out the call of Jesus to make disciples, do good, and bless the world around them. Through the life of Dorcas in Acts 9, we’re reminded that even ordinary acts of kindness and service are known to God and used for His glory. Reflect and Discuss: What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus in your everyday life? How are you using your gifts to serve others? In what ways can your kindness lead others to believe in the Lord? God’s call is for every believer—follow Jesus, do good, and be a blessing.

Stiff Knees

In this message from 1 Kings 19, we explore Elijah’s emotional and spiritual struggle after his bold stand for God against the prophets of Baal. Even in the face of fear, isolation, and deep sorrow, Elijah’s story reminds us of a powerful truth: Even when your faithfulness doesn’t spare you from the sorrows of this world—be faithful. God sees what others don’t. He works in ways we can’t always see, and He never leaves His people alone. As we reflect on Elijah’s despair, Obadiah’s hidden faithfulness, and God’s quiet assurance that 7,000 others still remained loyal, we’re challenged to trust that our obedience matters—even in seasons of discouragement. Key Takeaways: God sees your faithfulness, even when it feels unnoticed. God is working through your faithfulness, even when the results aren’t visible. God’s plan is bigger than your moment of struggle. Be encouraged: Jesus has overcome the world—and we can remain faithful, even through trials. (John 16:33)

The Dangerous Gift of Freedom

Sermon Replay: Stewarding Our Freedom Freedom is a gift—one we’re called to use for God’s Kingdom, not for our own comfort. In this message, we’re reminded that with great freedom comes great responsibility. When our faith costs us nothing, we risk drifting into complacency. Jesus didn’t call us to comfort—He called us to sacrifice, service, and radical love. Key Themes: 🔹 Freedom is a gift from God (James 1:16-17) 🔹 We are accountable to steward our freedom well (Luke 12:48) 🔹 Complacency is a real danger (Isaiah 29:13) 🔹 Following Jesus requires sacrifice (Matthew 16:24) 🔹 Our freedom is meant to be used in love and service (Galatians 5:13) Reflection Questions: When was the last time your faith cost you something? What part of your life reflects the kind of discipleship Jesus calls us to? Are you using your freedom for God’s glory—or for your own comfort? Weekly Challenge: This week, do something that stretches your faith: ✔️ Share your testimony ✔️ Open your home ✔️ Serve someone anonymously ✔️ Invite someone to church ✔️ Join or start a ministry ✔️ Sacrifice comfort to bless someone Let’s steward our freedom well—for His Kingdom and His glory.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

📖 John 14:1–6 | Guest Speaker: Bill Warren, FAME – Partners in Medical Evangelism In this powerful message, guest speaker Bill Warren of FAME (Fellowship of Associates of Medical Evangelism) unpacks Jesus' bold claim from John 14:6: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” Exploring the connection between physical healing and spiritual authority, Bill highlights how Jesus' miracles—especially healing—point to His unique power to forgive sins and offer eternal life. With twice as many healing miracles as any other kind, Jesus not only showed compassion but revealed His divine identity. 💬 Only the one who can heal the paralyzed can forgive sins. Only the one who can forgive sins can claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Don’t miss this message of hope, healing, and purpose in Christ!
