From Hopeless to Grateful
Series: Standalone
For this year’s Thanksgiving message, Troy talks about those times in life when a situation that makes you feel hopeless, turns around completely and actually makes you feel grateful. He also shares some biblical truths about being grateful, that it’s God’s purpose for us, that it’s tied to God not our circumstances, that it’s a choice not an emotion, and that it tells the right story about God to the world.

    Going All In for the All in All
    Series: All In
    In today’s message from the All In series, our Youth Minister Chad challenges us to live every aspect of our lives Soli Deo Gloria — “to the glory of God alone.” No one can glorify God like you or for you. Knowing that, each of us should strive to glorify Him through success or failure, good days or bad days, wealth or poverty, health or sickness.

    Small Changes Make Big Differences
    Series: All In
    Continuing in our All In series, Troy discusses the fact that a very minor change in your life can end up making a significant impact down the road. You’re always one decision away from a totally different life. And when you want to go big for God, it may seem nearly impossible, but God plus one equals a majority. If God is for you, who can be against you? When He calls you, will you say, “Here am I?”

    Who Builds a Boat in the Desert?
    Series: All In
    Based on the story of Noah building the ark, Troy asks the question, “Who Builds a Boat in the Desert?” Noah obeyed God and lived by faith for 120 years, as he continued to build something he might not even need. This is what it means to believe God and His promises. We can learn from Noah that although we often want more revelation before we obey more, God wants more obedience before He reveals more.

    Do You Know About God, or Do You Know God?
    Series: All In
    Continuing in our All In series, Bud asks the question, “Do You Know About God, or Do You Know God?” Have you ever seen something secondhand instead of experiencing it firsthand? This happens in our relationship with God, too. Using the example of hiking the Grand Canyon, Bud encourages us to consider where in our lives we are “hugging the rim” when we should be heading down into the canyon.

    Crash the Party: Falling on the Grace of God
    Series: All In
    For this week’s message from our All In series, Troy shares one of the key points from the book, that there are times in our lives when we need to crash the party, when we need to come clean and unveil the secret shame of our sin, and fall on the grace of God. Sometimes we feel like our sin disqualifies us from the grace of God, but in reality, our sin is the only thing that qualifies us for God’s grace.

    Summit: A View of His Path
    To close out this year’s Spokane Youth Rally, our special guest speaker (Jim Dalrymple from Ozark Christian College) gives us “A View of His Path.” If Jesus is who He says He is, then we would be foolish not to follow Him. Through this message, Jim encourages us to evaluate the foundation and path of our lives, while emphasizing the resurrection of Jesus and the hope that gives us.

    This is Only a Test, but Retreat is Not an Option
    Series: All In
    (NOTE: Due to technical difficulties, the first half of this message was not recorded.) Continuing in our All In series, Troy shares how God provides for us, and how He reveals His faithfulness if we will exercise our faith. And as the author of the book points out, God tests us to prove Himself to us, and to give us an opportunity to prove ourselves to Him. In addition, when we endure tests and strive to grow in our faith, we can’t just take a step forward into the future; we also have to eliminate the possibility of moving backward into the past.

    Charge! Stop Playing Defense and Start Playing Offense
    Series: All In
    Continuing in our All In series, based on some ideas from the book by Mark Batterson, Troy discusses how going all in is the unwillingness to give up. No matter how many times you get knocked down, you get back up. No matter how tough it gets, you don’t give up the fight. There are moments in all of our lives when we’re tempted to give up, but we can remain hopeful if we stop playing defense and start playing offense.

    All In: It’s Now or Never
    Series: All In
    To kick off our new series, All In, based on some ideas in the book of that name by Mark Batterson, Troy shares how the gospel costs nothing, but demands everything. Of course we all need a Savior, but we also must surrender to Jesus as the Lord and leader of our lives. The question is also asked, “Have you ever sacrificed anything for God? Because if you get back more than you gave up, have you sacrificed anything at all?
