God promised us that "we would face trials of many kinds", but he also promised us that, "He would be an ever present help in our time of trouble". We were not promised perfect circumstances, or a perfect world. We were promised an imperfect world with imperfect circumstances and a God who would remain perfect to us in those
circumstances. God is who he says he is. He isn’t less God when things are bad at home. He isn’t more God when we have joy and things are going well. You can trust him when it
doesn't make sense.

So you’ve been redeemed. Now what? To answer that question we have to explore the dual intent of Jesus’ grace: Redemption & Transformation. Jesus didn't come to harm us. He came to save us. God's grace is an extraordinary intervention to anyone's story. When we don't allow him to use our redeemed story for the potential benefit of someone else then there is a loss. So what role does God want to you play in someone else's story?

We are all born with dreams and endless potential. Then life happens and our stories become less simple, more dynamic. When it feels like not every day has purpose and not every year produces progress, it’s not uncommon to begin to wonder: does my life really matter, how many times can I fall and still get back up, does my story still have a chance to be a great one? In this message, you’ll be reminded that Jesus – who is full of grace – never backs away from the dynamic patterns in our lives.

When it comes to finances, it’s normal to go into debt so deep that you can’t see the way out. But there’s a better way. If you want to live with financial peace you have to flip the script to your financial story.

What is the wise thing to do? That simple question is very powerful in every aspect of life - even in the area of finances. When it comes to financial decisions, what if you were to simply ask, “Is this the wise thing to do financially?” And how would you know if it were? You might be surprised to know that the best financial wisdom comes from the Bible.
