In today’s message, Pastor Dave took us to Psalm 8 and a reminder that the God who created and holds the entire universe together is still MINDFUL OF US! Life can move so quickly that we miss the people, moments, and even the ways God is meeting us right where we are. Sometimes we need to slow down, be still, and pay attention.
An interruption might become a blessing, an inconvenience might introduce us to someone new, and an ordinary moment might be exactly where God meets us.

In this week's message, Pastor Dave continued the story of Gideon in Judges 7 with “When 300 Is Enough.” God took an army of 32,000 down to just 300 so there would be no question where the victory came from. Gideon’s story reminds us that faith isn’t about having enough strength on our own - it’s about trusting the One who does. Fear, complaining, and division can quickly spread and weaken the whole group, but faith and encouragement can do the opposite. God can do a lot with a small group of people who trust Him, encourage one another, and are willing to be used.

In today’s message, Pastor Dave continued in Judges with the story of Gideon - an unlikely man who didn’t think he had what it took to do what God was asking. Sometimes we disqualify ourselves because of our weaknesses, our past, our circumstances, or simply because we don’t feel capable. But God isn’t looking for the most impressive person in the room. He wants us to be faithful. God can use ordinary people who are willing to step forward, trust Him, and be available for whatever He puts in front of them.
