  <description>God Is Able | All In
In Ephesians 3, we are reminded that God’s power is limitless and His desire is to receive glory through His church. This message invites us to live all in, trust God with what we have, and believe that obedience creates space for God to move in ways we could never plan on our own.
Key Insights:
* God’s power is not limited by our imagination, resources, or circumstances.
* God chooses to work through His people, not around them.
* Surrender is the starting point for experiencing God’s work in deeper ways.
* Faithfulness today creates spiritual impact for future generations.
* Living all in means trusting God with what we have, not waiting until we feel ready.

  <itunes:subtitle>This week, we delve into the pitfalls of idolatry. Drawing from the rich narratives in Exodus, we will examine how the Israelites' creation of the golden calf serves as a stark warning about the dangers of shaping God into our own image instead of worshipping Him as He truly is. We will reflect on how we, too, can fall into the trap of creating our own "gods" in times of uncertainty and stress, rebelling against the one true source of satisfaction for our souls.

This sermon will challenge us to trust in God’s revelation, even when circumstances are unclear, and to expose and surrender our idols to Christ. We will learn the importance of recognizing and fleeing from sin, understanding its inevitable consequences, and grounding our trust in the God revealed in Scripture, rather than in cultural or personal distortions.

We invite you to reflect on these vital questions: Are there idols you’ve created in your life? Are you truly trusting in God's revealed character through Scripture? As always, we’d love to take the time to answer any questions you have and to pray with you – so reach out.

We will reflect on how we, too, can fall into the trap of creating our own &quot;gods&quot; in times of uncertainty and stress, rebelling against the one true source of satisfaction for our souls.</p>

<p>This sermon will challenge us to trust in God’s revelation, even when circumstances are unclear, and to expose and surrender our idols to Christ. We will learn the importance of recognizing and fleeing from sin, understanding its inevitable consequences, and grounding our trust in the God revealed in Scripture, rather than in cultural or personal distortions.</p>

<p>We invite you to reflect on these vital questions: Are there idols you’ve created in your life? Are you truly trusting in God&#39;s revealed character through Scripture? As always, we’d love to take the time to answer any questions you have and to pray with you – so reach out.
