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.

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.

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.
