Boots on the Ground – Part 5
1 Samuel 10:8; 13:8–13 John 7:1–10
Pressure can make us feel like we have to do something. The longer we wait, the more uncomfortable the pressure can become. Saul’s problem wasn’t that he felt pressure—it was that he allowed the pressure to set the pace instead of trusting God’s instructions and timing.
Patience is trusting God enough that we don’t have to force an answer or make something happen before God is ready. Pressure doesn’t get to set the pace—God does. Fear can cause us to wait when it’s time to move, while pressure can cause us to move when it’s time to wait.
Jesus showed us what it looks like to walk at God’s pace. When it was time to wait, He waited. When it was time to move, He moved. Following Jesus means more than going where He goes—it means learning to walk at His pace.
Next Steps:
Take the step God has already made clear.
Stop forcing an answer and trust God enough to wait.

Dinner Table Question:
How do you know when it’s time to take a step—and when it’s time to wait?

Boots on the Ground – Part 3

Joshua 1:9 | 2 Timothy 1:7

Fear doesn’t always disappear when it’s time to act—in fact, it can get louder. But God doesn’t promise to remove every pressure; He promises to be present with us in the middle of it. Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s choosing to obey God and take the next faithful step while fear is still there.

Following Jesus isn’t about proving how brave we are. It’s about trusting Him enough to move forward when the next step feels scary. Sometimes what we call “waiting” is really fear in disguise. But fear doesn’t get the final say—God does.

Dinner Table Discussion Question:
What’s something you’re nervous about right now, and what would it look like to trust God and take the next step anyway?

Next Steps:
Take the next faithful step I already know God is asking me to take.
Take one step toward Jesus and discover what it means to trust Him.

Long before many people read the Gospels...
they'll read our lives.

Jesus said the unmistakable mark of his followers is love.

If you're already following Jesus, let's represent him well this week.

If you're still exploring who Jesus is, we hope you'll keep looking—and not give up on him because someone else represented him poorly.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Back to School Bash today. We loved having you with us.

Help Us Cover Our Students in Prayer!

This Sunday, stop by our Back to School Blessings Table and help us pray for our students—from Kindergarten through University.

Make sure your kiddo has their name on one of our paper backpacks.

Then, while you're there, pick up another backpack and commit to praying for that student throughout the entire school year.

It doesn't take much to make a difference—just a faithful heart willing to lift up a student in prayer. Let's saddle up and cover this school year with prayer, one backpack at a time!

"The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect." — James 5:16

Boots on the Ground (Part One)
Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22, Luke 5:1-11

Following Jesus isn't usually one giant leap of faith—it's a series of faithful, everyday steps. While Matthew shows the moment Jesus called His first disciples, Luke reveals the journey that led up to it. Peter didn't instantly leave everything behind; Jesus patiently prepared his heart one step at a time.
Just like boots are made for walking, our faith is meant to be lived out through daily obedience. Jesus rarely reveals the entire path ahead. Instead, He asks us to trust Him with the next step.
This week's challenge is to identify one step Jesus is asking you to take and act on it. Also, write down three people you can pray for, invest in, and invite to take their next step toward Jesus.

Discussion Question:
What do you think your next step with Jesus might be?

Thank you to everyone who joined us today as we kicked off Boots on the Ground.

One reminder from today's message:

Jesus rarely shows us the whole journey. He usually shows us the next step.

We'll continue the journey next Sunday. We'd love to have you with us.

Most of life isn't lived in the big moments.

It's lived in the ordinary ones.

The decisions nobody applauds.
The conversations nobody plans for.
The small choices that quietly shape who we're becoming.

That's where following Jesus happens.

Join us for Boots on the Ground.

The Facilities Team will be having a workday this Saturday to help get our church grounds ready for the Back to School Bash on August 9th.
If you're available, we'd surely love to have your help! Our main projects for the day include:
Mowing
W**d eating
Spreading road base around the property
If you have a w**d eater, or gravel rake, please bring it along if you're able.
We'll plan to get started around 9:00 AM, and the Facilities Team will provide cold water, sandwiches, and chips for everyone helping out.
Many hands make light work, and we'd love to have you join us as we prepare our church grounds to welcome families from our community.
We hope to see you on Saturday!
