There are times when we look toward the future and we are filled with uncertainty and anxiety. But in those moments when we're unsure and anxious about the future, it helps to look back to the past. When we look back, we can see how God has been with us through tough times before. And if God was with us then, God is with us now...and in the future.

Although most of our faith is lived out on ordinary days, we'll all have face moments that require extraordinary faith. Moments like when Daniel faced the lion's den. But what prepares us for these moments? Are we only able to face these extraordinary moments if we already have extraordinary faith? Or is there something we can do today to help us in life's biggest moments?

We spend a lot of time thinking about the big days — the holidays, the milestones, the moments we plan for months in advance. But most of life doesn't happen on those days. Most of life happens on ordinary days. So how do we live out our faith on an ordinary day? Because God doesn't just want us to follow him on Christmas or Easter, he wants us to follow him every single day.

Have you ever felt like you're too ordinary to actually matter to God? We all have moments when it feels like we've blended into the background while God is focused on bigger, more important things. And it makes us wonder: does God even know I'm here? This week, we'll discover just how much all of us matter to God, and the lengths God will go to reach us exactly where we are.

When most of us think of the people God uses, we picture people who get everything right, and live extraordinary lives of faith. But that's not the way most of us see ourselves. But does that mean that God can't use us because we're not perfect people with extraordinary faith? Or have we simply forgotten that throughout history God has always used imperfect people...just like us.

Most of us assume that following God requires something big from us. A dramatic life change. A heroic sacrifice. Some kind of extraordinary effort. But that assumption gets in the way of our relationship with God. God doesn't expect us to be or do something extraordinary to prove we're worthy of following him. God just wants us to follow him.

Every Sunday, we come together for a worship service. And the worship part makes sense...but what about the service? When most of us think about service, we think about eating at a restaurant or making a return at Walmart. So what does service have to do with church? Well, believe it or not, the service part is every bit as important to the church as the worship part.
