"Why did you hit your sibling?" “They started it!” If you’ve ever parented a 6-year-old, the deflection game probably sounds familiar! Kids have a hard time dealing with the exposure of being in trouble, so they blame anyone else to protect themselves. But if we are honest... we do the exact same thing with God. We use mental gymnastics to convince ourselves it’s not our fault. But here is the hard truth: when we make excuses, we actually block ourselves from experiencing the very thing our souls are desperate for: forgiveness. If you are exhausted from carrying the weight of unconfessed sin, take a second to jump into this week’s blog post. God isn't waiting to crush you when you step out of hiding; He’s waiting to embrace you.👇

Exhausted from making excuses and carrying the weight of unconfessed sin? Discover why breaking the habit of deflection is the key to experiencing God's true forgiveness and grace. Read more from Immanuel Fellowship Church.

Ever felt like your circumstances are completely hopeless? Like you're outnumbered, outmatched, and the hero isn't showing up in time? King Saul faced impossible odds—an enemy army so massive his scouts couldn't count them. His own troops were deserting. The prophet didn't show up. And Saul made a choice that cost him everything. What would you have done? This Sunday's sermon explores what it means to trust God when hope feels lost—and why the hope we have in Jesus will never disappoint. Full Sermon Manuscript below: .

Have you found yourself continually let down the promises of the kings and idols of this world yet somehow still continually drawn to them? People, leaders, escapes, relationships, experiences, we all turn to the things of this world asking them to fill a need in our heart that can only be met by Christ. This Sunday at Immanuel, we’re beginning a short series in 1 Samuel exploring the reign of King Saul (Israel’s first king). We’d love for you to join us for this time as we explore the limitations of our earthly kings and the ways the gospel of Jesus speaks real life and hope into both this broken world and our broken hearts. You can check us out online or in person Sundays at 10:30 am!
