Episode 813: Enduring Faith | Ps Sam Picken

And as Pastor Ange said earlier, that we are in our Vision Builders season right now, this series as a church, Locatable Places of Hope.

You're in a Locatable Place of Hope.

Even online is kind of a version of that, but we love the fact that we get to touch one another and be a community together, hear each other's voices singing.

It's the way the church was meant to be.

It's meant to be a communal thing, a together thing.

And if you're watching online, please make your way down to the house of God when you can.

I understand that we have these beautiful things called technology.

So when people are traveling and doing different things, it's so beautiful to feel connected.

But church is never meant to be just online.

And I have met people from time to time who are like, oh yeah, you know, like I do church online with this church and florida or some other place and it's like no that's not your church that's i'm sorry i'm sorry you listen to good messages and you and you are influenced by content creators but that's not your church you need to be in a place and uh and um anyway i'm i'm getting distracted um so uh So it's awesome, Pastor Jess and I, we get to be the lead pastors here and it's awesome.

C3 is a part of a larger context, Christian City Church, churches all around the world.

And if you're visiting, welcome.

And we are a different kind of church.

Like we lean in and we're energetic and we're engaged and we just love, we wanna be a part of something that outlives us.

And that's what I'm gonna be talking about today And so in a few moments, I'm gonna play a video that is, it kind of sums up Vision Builders for the last year.

You've got some stuff in your books and you can read those later.

You can take them home if you want for consideration.

And this is an invitation to financially partner with what God is doing through the life of our church.

Keyword, invitation.

And as I said, we're a different, peculiar kind of people.

We lean in pretty hard We understand that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence because there is a dark force and we're waging war against that dark force to take ground back for the kingdom of light.

and we're unapologetic about it.

You're like, man, that's pretty full on.

I'm just visiting.

Yeah, we're pretty full on.
