💦 Ready to take your next step?

Baptism Sunday is November 1! 🙌

Have you made the decision to follow Jesus but haven't taken the step of baptism yet? We'd love to celebrate that decision with you!

Baptism is a public declaration of your faith in Jesus Christ and a beautiful opportunity to share what He has done in your life.

📅 Sunday, November 1
📍 Dallas & Lincolnton Campuses
⏰ Following the last morning service at both locations

Whether you're ready to be baptized or just have questions about what it means, we're here to help!

Visit our Next Steps page, talk with your campus pastor, or email [email protected].

Let's celebrate lives changed by Jesus! 🤍

📖 Psalm 108 — A Different Kind of Courage

Courage isn't always about being fearless or facing something extraordinary. Sometimes, courage is simply choosing to trust God when life gets difficult.

Psalm 108 reminds us that our strength doesn't come from ourselves, but from the One who is faithful through every circumstance.

When challenges come, we can choose to worship instead of worry, seek God's Word instead of relying on our own understanding, and trust His will instead of trying to control the outcome.

“With God we shall do valiantly; it is he who will tread down our foes.” — Psalm 108:13

Whatever you're facing today, remember:
🙏 Start with worship.
📖 Stand on His Word.
🙌 Trust His will.

True courage begins with trusting Him.

Psalm 101 reminds us that integrity is not just about what people see — it reaches into our hearts, our homes, our choices, and our private lives.

David says, “I will walk with integrity of heart within my house.”

This psalm calls us to examine what we celebrate, what we allow before our eyes, how we treat others, and whether our lives are truly being shaped by God’s holiness.

None of us walk perfectly, but Psalm 101 points us to our need for grace and to the true and perfect King — Jesus.

May our prayer be simple:

Lord, shape our hearts.
Lead us in integrity.
Help us walk in glad submission to You.

📖 Psalm 101
I will walk with integrity.

This month, our Venture Objective is Connecting Believers to Unbelievers — and October gives us so many natural opportunities to put this into practice.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. It can start with something as simple as:

🏈 Inviting a friend over to watch a college football game
🍽️ Having a friend and their family over for dinner
🎃 Gathering your neighbors on Halloween to grill out and hand out candy
⚽ Showing up to support a friend’s child at a game
🙏 Praying for an opportunity to share the Gospel and talk about your relationship with Jesus

The goal is simple: build real relationships, create space for meaningful conversations, and look for opportunities to point people to Jesus.

This month, ask God:

Who can I intentionally connect with?
Where can I create space for Gospel conversations?

Let’s be intentional and
Invite. Connect. Pray. Share.
