Not only are we called to devote time to be with God, but we're also called to devote our whole self to God. God formed each person in his image and designed everyone to be a temple of the Holy Spirit.
(we apologize that the recording doesn't begin until halfway through the first worship song)
The new year is a great opportunity to set goals and make changes. One of the best changes we can make is in our relationship with God. A healthy life starts with a consistent devotional life.
Jesus is the light of the world and he came down for all of us. The light pierces the darkness and brings hope to the hopeless. We celebrate our newborn King!
Joseph wasn’t just disappointed when he heard Mary’s news, he was worried about perceptions. Joseph had a difficult decision to make, but he trust what God thought over what others thought.
The angels arrive again and say "fear not" to a group of shepherds. These were not the people that anyone would have expected to be the first to hear about the birth of the Son of God.
Life can be filled with fear, but we're called to live by faith. Anyone in Mary's shoes would have been filled with questions and fear, but yet she chose obedience in the face of fear. Sometimes what we call God's disturbing interruptions are actually God's divine invitations.
We often label certain figures or people as our enemies, while failing to realize that our real enemy is working behind the scenes. If we fail to identify the true spiritual enemy, we'll fail to withstand his attacks.
God tells us in Malachi 3:10-11 to test His faithfulness by returning the first 10% of our income to Him. This is called the tithe. Countless people experience His blessings when they tithe, but the first step can be the hardest one to take.
Many times we resist giving to God because we fear that we won't have enough. But that fear keeps us from trusting God. God is faithful to provide for those who are faithful to Him.
God doesn't just ask us to steward what He has given us, He asks us to steward it well. A life of generosity begins with wisdom.
Money is amazing! But when money is in the wrong place on our priority list, it can be destructive to our relationship with others and God. Let's make some changes that will help us manage money the way God intended.

After entering into the promised land, the Israelites took a shocking defeat. Why and how did this happen? It wasn't God that let them down, but there was someone who disobeyed. Sin has a way of corrupting what God has set in motion.
The Israelites face their first major hurdle after entering the promised land: Jericho. But God has an amazing plan for victory that we can learn from. Sometimes miracles are in a moment, sometimes they're a marathon.
The Israelites had a history of forgetfulness and we can be the same way. It's easy for us to forget important and significant things in our life. But we can participate in what God did with the nation of Israel to help us remember.
Just like the Israelites, God is going to call you to break camp and dedicate yourself fully to Him. It's not an easy challenge, but we can know that God will go before us.
We often discount what God can do in our lives. But many times, God uses the most unexpected people to accomplish his mission. What is God trying to do through you?
Many people allow their past to plague them, but God has a plan for you to move forward. When it was time for Joshua and the Israelites to take the promised land, God reminded them of one thing that had to be different from the last time.
From the beginning, we were designed for community. God never intended for us to navigate life alone. At Faithbrook, we believe that life is better when we do it together. What if taking one risky step of connection could change your life and your relationship with God?
It's so easy to opt out, but we're challenging you to opt in. God made you uniquely in His image and gave you talents and abilities for a reason. Use your uniqueness to benefit God's mission through the church.
