Are fear and uncertainty causing you to struggle with your faith? Do you need encouragement? Are you struggling with your marriage or with parenting? Is someone in need of healing? Sometimes, all we need is a shoulder to lean on or a caring person to talk to. Our pastors are here to listen, offer prayer, and provide Biblical insight.
Whatever you are going through, don’t go through it alone.

2. Seek = Seeking invites us to actively pursue a deeper relationship with
God. It’s not just about looking for things or answers; it’s about searching for the very heart of God. Becoming an expert at seeking means that we
prioritize our relationship with Him above all else.
When you don’t know what to do, trust God enough to seek Him.
Have you ever had a time or a season in your life when you found it was easier to blame God for the problems you face than it was to trust Him for His answers?

Jehoshaphat - gives us an example to seek the Lord in times of uncertainty (2 Chronicles Chapters 17-20)
T =______________= Wait on the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:13)
R = ______________= Receive encouragement from the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15)
U = ______________= Unity and Obedience to the Word of the Lord is essential (2 Chronicles 20:16-17)
S = ______________= Surrender your fears; praise Him before the victory and show gratitude before the blessings (2 Chronicles 20:18-21).

When a leader seeks the Lord, it brings blessings for everyone. Yet, seeking the Lord is a personal responsibility; it cannot simply be outsourced.
So, when you don’t know what to do, will you trust God enough to seek Him?
