From our Interim Campus Pastor

This past Sunday we kicked off our Straight Outta Context series by tackling one of the most common phrases people associate with the Bible: “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” As we discovered, while that saying may sound biblical, it’s not actually what Scripture teaches. Looking at 1 Corinthians 10:13 in its proper context, we learned that Paul wasn’t talking about suffering or hardships in life…instead, he was talking about temptation. God’s promise is not that life will never overwhelm us, but that He is faithful and will always provide a way out when we are tempted to sin.

One of the biggest takeaways from the message was this simple truth: God never promised you’d be strong enough...God promised He would be. When life brings us to the end of ourselves, we’re reminded that the Christian life was never meant to be lived in our own strength. God invites us to depend on His power, trust His faithfulness, and lean on the resources He has provided through His Spirit, His Word, and His people.

As we continue this series, we hope you’ll join us this Sunday for worship as we move into Week 2, celebrate Communion together, and continue growing in our understanding of God’s Word. We’ll look at another familiar verse that often appears on graduation cards, during career changes, and in seasons of new opportunities...a verse many people know by heart, but few understand in its original context. You may be surprised by what God was actually communicating and how His promises are even deeper and more encouraging than we often realize.

Make plans to be here, and invite a friend, neighbor, coworker, or family member to join you. We can’t wait to worship with you, remember Christ through Communion, and continue growing in faith together as a church family. See you Sunday!
