Make an IMPACT
The Bible teaches us that tithing is an act of obedience and that we should trust God with every aspect of our lives, which also includes our finances. Sacrificing a portion of our income helps us look beyond ourselves and makes us more aware of the needs of others. We offer many ways for you to make an IMPACT and give back. Take a look at some of the options below:

Joseph
This is a message about rebuilding faith — not around feelings, but around truth.
You can trust God… even when the story He’s writing makes no sense yet.
1. Faith begins where fear speaks the loudest.
2. Faith grows where honest questions live.
3. Faith moves where surrender becomes the only option.
2. Faith grows where honest questions live.
3. Faith moves where surrender becomes the only option.
Faith doesn’t grow in clarity. Faith grows in obedience.
1. Faith Begins Where Fear Speaks The Loudest
Fear is often the place faith is first invited to the conversation.
• Luke 1:30 (NLT)
Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
• Matthew 1:20 (NLT)
Joseph… do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
• Luke 2:10 (NLT)
Don’t be afraid!
Don’t be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
• Matthew 1:20 (NLT)
Joseph… do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.
• Luke 2:10 (NLT)
Don’t be afraid!
enthyméomai literally means:
“To turn something over and over in your mind.”
“To turn something over and over in your mind.”
2. Faith Grows Where Honest Questions Live
“How long, O Lord?”
“Why do You tolerate wrongdoing?”
“Are You the One, or should we expect someone else?”
“I believe… help my unbelief!”
Faith doesn’t grow in understanding. Faith grows in surrender.
3. Faith Moves Where Surrender Becomes The Only Option.
Do I trust the One asking me to take the step?
God does not wait for perfect faith. He meets you in the faith you have.
Action Steps for this Week:
This week don’t rush past what God might be trying to rebuild in you. Here are three ways to keep walking the journey Joseph walked (fear, questions, surrender) and rediscover faith in a real, honest way.
Action Steps:
1. Name the fear you’ve been avoiding, and pray one honest sentence about it
Not a polished prayer. Not a long prayer. Just one honest sentence…
“God, here’s what I’m afraid of.”
Remember… Faith begins where fear speaks the loudest… start there.
2. Bring your biggest question to Scripture instead of stuffing it down.
Open your Bible this week (start in Matthew 1, Luke 1-2, or Psalm 34) and ask, “God, what do You want to show me here?”
God never shamed Joseph for his questions, He answered him. Give God space to answer yours.
3. Take one small step of obedience you’ve been putting off.
Not everything. Just one thing.
· A conversation.
· A prayer.
· A choice.
· A step of trust.
Faith doesn’t grow in clarity, it grows in obedience. Do the next right thing He’s asking of you.
