    Burning Bright | Keeping Our Lamps Filled with Oil
    Feb 23 2025
    Join us as Tracy shares how life is a mix of mountaintop moments and seasons of pressing, just like olives in an oil press. While we love the mountain views, true growth happens when we allow the crushing to refine us, releasing what doesn’t belong and producing oil that brings light, nourishment, and healing. Tracy connects this to Jesus’ parable of the bridesmaids in Matthew 25, reminding us that we must stay prepared with oil in our lamps—daily surrendering to God’s Spirit, not relying on borrowed faith. This message encourages us to remain watchful, open to His refining, and ready for His coming.

    Fruitfulness Under Pressure | Strength in the Oil

    Join us as Joel shares part 2 of this message on how trials refine our faith, just as fire purifies gold. Though we face hardships, we have a living hope through Jesus’ resurrection. Our faith, more valuable than gold, endures challenges and produces lasting joy. Peter reminds us to prepare our minds, live in holiness, and embrace our identity as God’s people, knowing our inheritance is secure in Christ.

    Trials test the genuineness of our faith, pressing us into deeper reliance on God. Like olives crushed to release oil, difficulties shape us into the fullness of Christ. Hebrews 12 encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus, and James 1 reminds us that perseverance leads to spiritual maturity. Holiness isn’t about perfection but about being set apart for God’s purpose.

    The cross isn’t just about salvation—it’s a call to daily surrender, allowing Jesus to work through us. Our response to trials determines our growth, leading us into a deeper trust in Him.

    Fruitfulness Under Pressure | The Crushing That Produces Oil
    Feb 9 2025
    Join us as Joel shares how trials refine our faith, much like olives are crushed to produce oil. Drawing from 1 Peter 1, Joel explains that hardships test and strengthen us, shaping our character and deepening our trust in God. Jesus Himself experienced crushing in Gethsemane—an olive press—showing that faith is often formed under pressure.

    Trials reveal what’s inside us, stripping away distractions and teaching us to rely on God. Joel highlights three key truths about trials: they are temporary, they refine us, and they mature us. Instead of resisting them, we’re invited to trust that God is at work, producing something valuable in us through every challenge.

    Feb 2 2025
    Join us as Tracy shares how “oil” in Scripture shows God’s active work in strengthening our faith. Oil was vital for light, healing, and anointing in ancient days, reminding us of the Holy Spirit’s power. Growth isn’t automatic; it forms through testing, pressing, and pouring out to serve others.
