SUNDAY SERVICE | 10AM

Welcome to our Sunday Service! We’re so glad you’re joining us today. Our prayer is that this service encourages you, strengthens your faith, and draws you closer to God. Sermon Notes: BEYOND Pt. 5 | Stretching Beyond Matthew 14:22-33 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” 28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” 32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed. | Matthew 14:22-33 Supernatural: a manifestation or event attributed to some force beyond scientific understanding or natures laws. Supernatural outcomes require faith that stretches beyond what I can accomplish on my own. Every significant move of God in your life will be accompanied by a call to stretch. Hebrews 11:6 | Without faith it is impossible to please God. James 1:3–4 | The testing of your faith produces perseverance. Stretching always involves sacrifice If it doesn’t cost you, it’s not stretching you. Stretching is a decision we make God doesn’t stretch you. YOU stretch you.

Welcome to our Sunday Service! We’re so glad you’re joining us today. Our prayer is that this service encourages you, strengthens your faith, and draws you closer to God. Sermon Notes: BEYOND Pt. 4 | Aligning Our Lives with Beyond Acts 4:32-5:10 All the believers were united in heart and mind. And they felt that what they owned was not their own, so they shared everything they had. 33 The apostles testified powerfully to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s great blessing was upon them all. 34 There were no needy people among them, because those who owned land or houses would sell them 35 and bring the money to the apostles to give to those in need. 36 For instance, there was Joseph, the one the apostles nicknamed Barnabas (which means “Son of Encouragement”). He was from the tribe of Levi and came from the island of Cyprus. 37 He sold a field he owned and brought the money to the apostles. Ananias and Sapphira But there was a certain man named Ananias who, with his wife, Sapphira, sold some property. 2 He brought part of the money to the apostles, claiming it was the full amount. With his wife’s consent, he kept the rest. 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, why have you let Satan fill your heart? You lied to the Holy Spirit, and you kept some of the money for yourself. 4 The property was yours to sell or not sell, as you wished. And after selling it, the money was also yours to give away. How could you do a thing like this? You weren’t lying to us but to God!” 5 As soon as Ananias heard these words, he fell to the floor and died. Everyone who heard about it was terrified. 6 Then some young men got up, wrapped him in a sheet, and took him out and buried him. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Was this the price you and your husband received for your land?” “Yes,” she replied, “that was the price.” 9 And Peter said, “How could the two of you even think of conspiring to test the Spirit of the Lord like this? The young men who buried your husband are just outside the door, and they will carry you out, too.” 10 Instantly, she fell to the floor and died. When the young men came in and saw that she was dead, they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. | Acts 4:32-5:10 The direction of my life is determined not by my intentions but by my priorities. Any goal without accompanying priorities eventually loses momentum. Living in BEYOND requires rearranging my life around what matters most. Key: My priorities reflect what I truly value and desire. Priorities reveal what I value, not what I claim to value. In order to prioritize, we have to reorder. Priorities     •    Cars     •    Parents     •    Toys     •    Stocks     •    Mortgage/Rent     •    Trips     •    Church     •    401K/retirement The big question BEYOND asks of our lives is not “what are my priorities,” it’s “who gets to determine my priorities?” Proverbs 3:6 | In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight Romans 12:2 | do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.  Ephesians 2:10 | For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Matthew 6:33 | But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Declaration: I am choosing to reorder my priorities for this season so my life reflects faith, not convenience.

BEYOND Pt. 3 | Overcoming Obstacles to Beyond Matthew 25:14-30 NLT the Kingdom of Heaven can be illustrated by the story of a man going on a long trip. He called together his servants and entrusted his money to them while he was gone. 15 He gave five bags of silver to one, two bags of silver to another, and one bag of silver to the last—dividing it in proportion to their abilities. He then left on his trip. 16 “The servant who received the five bags of silver began to invest the money and earned five more.17 The servant with two bags of silver also went to work and earned two more. 18 But the servant who received the one bag of silver dug a hole in the ground and hid the master’s money. 19 “After a long time their master returned from his trip and called them to give an account of how they had used his money. 20 The servant to whom he had entrusted the five bags of silver came forward with five more and said, ‘Master, you gave me five bags of silver to invest, and I have earned five more.’ 21 “The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ 22 “The servant who had received the two bags of silver came forward and said, ‘Master, you gave me two bags of silver to invest, and I have earned two more.’ 23 “The master said, ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together!’ 24 “Then the servant with the one bag of silver came and said, ‘Master, I knew you were a harsh man, harvesting crops you didn’t plant and gathering crops you didn’t cultivate. 25 I was afraid I would lose your money, so I hid it in the earth. Look, here is your money back.’ 26 “But the master replied, ‘You wicked and lazy servant! If you knew I harvested crops I didn’t plant and gathered crops I didn’t cultivate, 27 why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? At least I could have gotten some interest on it.’ 28 “Then he ordered, ‘Take the money from this servant, and give it to the one with the ten bags of silver. 29 To those who use well what they are given, even more will be given, and they will have an abundance. But from those who do nothing, even what little they have will be taken away. 30 Now throw this useless servant into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ | Matthew 25:14-30 NLT God entrusts more to those who demonstrate the capacity to steward what He has already given. Fear is about control, not just of outcome, but of potential disappointment. Fear of disappointment will always be available to step in as the voice of Jesus in our lives.  Faith must always pass the test of fear of disappointment. There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty. - Proverbs 11:24-25 I surrender fear, control, and excuses, and I choose to trust God as my ultimate provider through faithful stewardship.

BEYOND Pt. 2 | Inviting God’s Presence Into Beyond Galatians 6:7-9 You will always harvest what you plant.Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. | Galatians 6:7-9 Planting and Harvesting There is a harvest in my: Thoughts Words Attitude and effort Finances Company Habits The harvest I experience is determined by the seed that I sow He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. | 2 Corinthians 9:6 If I want a better harvest, I must change the way I sow God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. | Genesis 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. | Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the seed of the supernatural Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. | Matthew 6:33 Prayer positions us to sow the right seed so God’s provision can produce a harvest beyond what we could create on our own. Declaration: I am inviting God into how I steward my resources; I desire to plant seeds that lead to a God-honoring, abundant harvest. I am praying for God’s revelation about the seed I will sow into God’s house, believing that what is planted through the One Fund will produce a harvest of life change far beyond what I could accomplish alone.

BEYOND Pt. 1 | God’s Invitation to Beyond Mark 4:20 But the seed planted in the good earth represents those who hear the Word, embrace it, and produce a harvest beyond their wildest dreams. | Mark 4:20 MSG Not everyone's life produces the same harvest because not everyone embraces the same reality. If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation… | 2 Corinthians 5:17 We walk in the newness of life. | Romans 6:4 Beyond describes the reality and nature of God We are more than conquerors… | Romans 8:37 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. | 2 Corinthians 4:17 My best case scenario for my life might actually be a limit on God’s plan Beyond is a direction, not a destination That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know … what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe. | Ephesians 1:17–18 Beyond is a decision to own the call to God’s reality in your life: - Open my heart in faith - Change the way I think - Reorder my priorities - Sow my resources differently Declaration: I am choosing to prepare my heart and align my life to participate in what God wants to produce through me. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. | Ephesians 3:20
