📖✨ Bible Study Recap ✨📖

Friday, we talked about something so important in our walk with God. Discernment and learning to recognize His voice. 🗣️

With so many voices competing for our attention, it’s so important to know the difference between God’s voice, our own thoughts, and the voice of the enemy. God will never lead us contrary to His Word. The more time we spend in His presence and in Scripture, the more familiar His voice becomes.

Discernment isn’t just about knowing what is right and wrong. It’s about being able to recognize what is from God and what isn’t. 🙏

We don’t have to wonder, “Is that really God?” when we are grounded in His Word. His voice brings truth, conviction, wisdom, and peace.

Isaiah 50:4 says “The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak A word in season to him who is weary. He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear To hear as the learned.”

Praying that we all continue to grow closer to God, learn His voice, and have the discernment to follow Him even when the world is telling us something completely different. ❤️‍🔥

Know the Word. Know His voice. Follow His leading. 🙌📖

🏹🔥 ROOTED YOUTH BIBLE STUDY HANGOUT! 🔥🏹

What a night! We had an amazing time hanging out, eating good food, having fun, and most importantly, getting into God’s Word together! 📖❤️

Last night, we studied 1 Samuel 17, the story of David and Goliath. 🪨⚔️

David didn’t let the size of his giant determine the size of his faith. He knew that God was bigger than what stood in front of him. 🙌

What a reminder for all of us: Don’t focus on how big the battle is, but focus on how big your God is!

We’re so thankful for nights like these where we can grow in our faith, build friendships, laugh together, and get ROOTED in God’s Word! 🌱

“The battle is the LORD’S.” — 1 Samuel 17:47 ❤️

If you missed the Bible study hangout last night, no worries! We have one every other week on Fridays! We would love to have you join us ❤️

To recap:
Last night we dug into Romans 1, and one truth stood out above the rest: the Gospel is still the power of God unto salvation 🙌🏽

We talked about how Paul wasn’t ashamed of the Gospel, how God’s righteousness is revealed through faith, and how it’s so easy for people to exchange the truth of God for the things of this world. Romans 1 is a reminder that when we reject God’s truth, our hearts begin to drift. But when we surrender to Him, He transforms us from the inside out❤️

This wasn’t a message of condemnation; it was a call to examine our hearts, stand firmly on God’s Word, and boldly live out our faith in a world that desperately needs Jesus.

Thankful for everyone who came, shared, and grew together. Let’s not just hear the Word. Let’s live it! 📖

Ages 12-18 welcome!

What an unforgettable week for our campers!🔥

They’re coming home with new friendships, inside jokes, memories that will last a lifetime, and stories they can’t wait to tell. From games and late night laughs to worship and powerful services, camp was filled with moments they’ll never forget.

But the greatest part of their experience wasn’t just the fun. It was what God did in their hearts. We’re believing they’re coming home with a stronger faith, a deeper love for God, and a desire to live for Him every day.

Camp may be over, but the impact doesn’t end here. We’re so thankful for every leader, volunteer, and person who prayed and supported these students 🙌🔥💙

🥳Jr High camp this week!🥳

To every parent/youth leader/pastor dropping off your children today, trust that God goes where you cannot. He can speak to them, strengthen them, and remind them that they are deeply loved and called for a purpose.

We can’t wait to hear the testimonies, see the smiles, and watch them come home different than when they left!
