Pastor Bill Bush · Jun 16, 2025
The common saying 'God won't give you more than you can handle' is a distortion of Scripture. Pastor Bill argues from 2 Corinthians 1:8-11 that God repeatedly and intentionally allows us to be crushed beyond our own ability to endure — not to punish us, but to expose our self-reliance, drive us into genuine dependence on Him and on community, and ultimately turn our hardest moments into powerful witnesses of hope for others. The goal is not comfort within our capacity but connection to the God who raises the dead.
Pastor Linn Winters · Jan 27, 2025
Pastor Linn uses the story of Gideon (Judges 6–7) to argue that God deliberately chooses ordinary, unqualified people so that when something extraordinary happens, everyone knows it was God's doing. The central invitation is to stop painting your own life and hand the brush back to God — accepting that the path forward will often get harder before it gets better, but that on the other side of harder, God always does His greatest work.
