What do you do when God asks you to take a step of obedience when you don’t understand? When you can’t see how it will all work out? When you’re confused, worried, or afraid?

This weekend, Lead Pastor Jon Henninger reminded us of Abraham’s ultimate test on Mount Moriah and his response of faith in the face of an unimaginable situation.

It’s our prayer that no matter how unlikely the situation, that we would be people who believe like Abraham did. That we would walk in obedience even when we can’t see the outcome. That we would be people who trust God deeply because we know His character and recall His promise that provision is on the way for those who walk in faith.

Check out the full message “Mt. Moriah” on all streaming platforms.

Groups are how we care for each other through authentic relationships!

God designed us for community, and in groups, we find a place to connect, grow, and support one another in our faith journey.

You don’t have to do this season alone.

Do you ever feel like you’re climbing a mountain, facing trial after trial? Mt. Sinai is represented throughout Scripture as a place where Moses faced real challenges time and time again, yet it was also the place where God met him, shaped him, and revealed more of Himself. ⛰️

Our mountain moments are like that too. The journey isn’t always easy, but it represents the process God is taking us through to develop us into all He has for us. Not every moment is picture perfect, but soon you’ll look out at the summit and see that God was preparing you in ways you never could’ve imagined.
