Believe: Faith & Hope Series
INFORMATION: Hope In God’s Timing
What is Kairos Time?
Chronos – that’s time on a clock, measurable minutes and hours.
Kairos – God’s appointed timing, God’s opportune timing, it’s when heaven breaks into your everyday life and everything changes.
Galatians 6:9 (NLT) – “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.”
INSPIRATION: Your Strategic Positioning
Ephesians 2:10 (NLT) – “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Our Mission
To reach our communities locally and globally with the message of freedom and fullness found in Christ.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” — Matthew 28:19-20
Our Vision
As the Community of Believers, we are committed to gathering, growing, and going while being built up in love, as each person does their part.
- GATHER — as the Community of Believers to encourage each other in love and action
- GROW — in relationship with God and others through discipleship and teaching
- GO — out with the Gospel of Jesus, through the church, to the nations, for the Kingdom
“He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” — Colossians 1:28-29
Our Values
- We value learning God’s Word by spending regular time with Him
- We value loving God’s Word by fulfilling the Great Commandment
- We value living God’s Word by fulfilling the Great Commission
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.” — 2 Timothy 3:16-17
MOTIVATION: Your Kingdom Investment
The T4 Principle: Positioning for Acceleration
TIME — Strategic Positioning of Your Presence
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity.” — Ephesians 5:15-16
Where can your presence create the most Kingdom transformation?
- Connect in a small group for authentic relationships
- Serve on a team where your presence makes a difference
- Be present where God has already positioned you for influence
TALENT — Operating in Your Spiritual Gifts
“We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.” — Romans 12:6
Your gifts aren’t for you — they’re for Kingdom advancement
- Teaching, administration, hospitality, mercy, leadership, prophetic insight
- Many believers get stuck trying to grow through someone else’s gifting
- When you discover your gifts and align them with Kingdom purpose = supernatural acceleration
- Take the spiritual gifts assessment
- Begin serving in areas that match your gifting
TREASURE — Kingdom Economics and Generous Living
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” — Malachi 3:10
2 Corinthians 9:6-11 NLT Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.”
Generosity positions you for supernatural increase
- This is Kingdom strategy, not just a nice principle
- Operate from generosity rather than scarcity
- Practice tithing — giving the first 10% honors God and positions you under His blessing
TESTIMONY — Your Story of Transformation
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” — 1 Peter 3:15
Your story becomes someone else’s breakthrough
- You don’t need a polished, amazing testimony
- Share what God is doing right now
- Your simple story is the perfect story to share
- Authenticity creates connection; performance creates distance

Moving Forward
Don’t wait until you’re “mature enough” to discover your gifts and step into your calling.
Start now from your starting point. Ask God to reveal how He’s wired you, get around spiritual shepherds who can help identify your strengths, and begin positioning yourself where those gifts can flourish.
Remember: This isn’t about perfection — it’s about forward movement. God meets you where you are, but He’s too good to leave you there.

November 9, 2025
The enemy’s greatest weapon against revival isn’t temptation or doubt—it’s pride. Those lies that whisper “you’ve got this alone,” “you don’t need anyone,” or “it’s just you and Jesus” contradict how the Kingdom works. No mission, breakthrough, or revival was accomplished by lone rangers.
Series Recap:
- Week 1: Faith gives substance (Hebrews 11:1)
- Week 2: Hope for revival & 4 Battle Strategies
- Week 3: Faith that moves mountains (Matthew 17:20)
- Week 4: Faith that endures through trials
INFORMATION: THE COMMUNITY DESIGN OF FAITH
The 4 Battle Strategies for Revival:
- COMMUNITY – Understanding God’s heart for the area you live
- FASTING – Positions you for breakthrough and aligns you with God’s heart
- PRAYER – Aligning your spirit with what God is already doing
- WORSHIP – Strategic surrender that positions you where God can fight for you
Community isn’t just first on the list—it’s the strategy that positions you so the other three are possible.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – Two are better than one. If one falls, the other helps. A triple-braided cord is not easily broken. True spiritual growth only happens in the context of long-term relationships.
1 Corinthians 12:6-7, 12 – “God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other… The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2 – “Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.” Burden-sharing isn’t optional—doing it alone is operating in disobedience.
INSPIRATION: ACCELERATED GROWTH THROUGH COMMUNITY
Acts 13:2-4 – The church at Antioch was worshiping, fasting, praying, and operating in community when the Holy Spirit spoke. They had all 4 Battle Strategies working together.
Pattern at Antioch:
- COMMUNITY – Unified church with diverse leadership (v.1)
- FASTING – Actively fasting when Holy Spirit spoke, then fasted again (v.2-3)
- PRAYER – Laid hands on them and sent them out (v.3)
- WORSHIP – Worshiping the Lord, creating atmosphere for God’s presence (v.2)
Ephesians 4:16 – “He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.”
MOTIVATION: THREE TYPES OF KINGDOM RELATIONSHIPS
Hebrews 10:24-25 – “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
Every believer needs all three relationship types operating simultaneously:
1. SPIRITUAL PARENTS – People further along who are mentoring and discipling you
1 Corinthians 4:15 – These are people focused on discipleship who invest in your growth, challenge your thinking, and help shape your character. They ask the hard questions: How’s your heart? What’s God teaching you? Where are you being tempted?
2. KINGDOM PARTNERS – Peers running the race alongside you, strengthening each other
Romans 1:11-12 – Shoulder-to-shoulder relationships—people in similar seasons facing similar battles. Paul understood mutual ministry—he wanted to encourage them but also expected to be encouraged by their faith.
3. SPIRITUAL SONS/DAUGHTERS – People you are mentoring and discipling into their Kingdom assignments
2 Timothy 2:2 – “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others.” The multiplication pattern—what you receive, you give away. You don’t need to be an expert, just a few steps ahead.
The Acceleration Factor: When you have all three types:
TRANSFORMATION: BUILDING AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY
Three Practical Steps:
1. INITIATE AUTHENTIC CONNECTION
Stop waiting. Identify:
- One potential Spiritual Parent (someone further along who could invest in you)
- One Kingdom Partner (someone in a similar season you could partner with)
- One emerging Spiritual Son/Daughter (someone you could begin mentoring/discipling)
Then make the ask. “Would you be willing to meet regularly to help me grow spiritually?”
2. PRACTICE THROUGH CONTRIBUTION
1 Thessalonians 5:11 – “Encourage each other and build each other up.” Look for ways to contribute to other people’s lives. Offer your gifts, resources, or support to help them succeed in their sphere of influence. Ministry isn’t a program—it’s a lifestyle of building others up.
3. CREATE KINGDOM PARTNERSHIPS
Find someone committed to your spiritual growth and Kingdom effectiveness, and make the same commitment to them.
Action Steps:
- Write down which of the three types of relationships you’re missing
- Identify one person to reach out to this week
- Commit to Night of Worship (December 4th, 6:30 PM)
- Join Starting Point (December 7th, after service)
Community is the foundation that makes the other three battle strategies effective. You need spiritual parents to shepherd you, kingdom partners to walk it out, and spiritual sons/daughters to mentor and encourage. The question isn’t whether you need community—it’s whether you’ll position yourself in it.

INFORMATION: UNDERSTANDING REDEMPTIVE TRIALS
The Strategic Purpose of Trials
1 Peter 1:6-7 (NLT) – “So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to all the world.”
James 1:2-4 (NLT) – “Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance grows. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.”
Trials as Kingdom Development
Romans 5:3-5 (NLT) – “We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope in God. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit, who fills our hearts with his love.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NLT) – “That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.”
The Ministry Multiplication Principle
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (NLT) – “All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
Philippians 1:12-14 (NLT) – “And I want you to know, my dear brothers and sisters, that everything that has happened to me here has helped to spread the Good News. For everyone here, including the whole palace guard, knows that I am in chains because of Christ. And because of my imprisonment, most of the believers here have gained confidence and boldly speak God’s message without fear.”
INSPIRATION: TRIALS AS KINGDOM POSITIONING
Reframing Your Current Challenge
Hebrews 12:10-11 (NLT) – “For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.”
Isaiah 43:2-3a (NLT) – “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”
The Acceleration Through Adversity Principle
Job 23:10 (NLT) – “But he knows where I am going. And when he tests me, I will come out as pure as gold.”
MOTIVATION: ACTIVATING ENDURING FAITH
The Endurance Strategy
Galatians 6:9 (NLT) – “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.”
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) – “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
The Compound Effect of Endurance
James 1:12 (NLT) – “God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.”
TRANSFORMATION: STRATEGIC TRIAL NAVIGATION
The Three-Phase Trial Response Framework
1- Engage Heart Towards Prayer & Gratitude
2- Partner with God’s Development Process
3- Leverage Your Trial for Kingdom Impact
Sunday, October 26, 2025
PART 1: THE SOURCE OF MOUNTAIN-MOVING POWER
Matthew 17:20 (NLT) – “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
Mark 11:22-24 (NLT) – “Then Jesus said to the disciples, ‘Have faith in God. I tell you the truth, you can say to this mountain, “May you be lifted up and thrown into the sea,” and it will happen. But you must really believe it will happen and have no doubt in your heart. I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.'”
Three Ways To Position Your Faith:
1. In His Faithfulness
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NLT) – “The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.”
2. In His Power
Ephesians 3:20 (NLT) – “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.”
3. Faith Positioned in His Wisdom
James 1:5 (NLT) – “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.”
PART 2: FAITH THAT CREATES KINGDOM INFLUENCE
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 (NLT) – “And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God.”
PART 3: CATCHING THE VISION
Romans 4:17-18 (NLT) – “That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, ‘I have made you the father of many nations.’ This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing. Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations.”
Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT) – “I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.”
PART 4: STEPPING INTO ACTION
James 2:26 (NLT) – “Just as the body is dead without breath, so also faith is dead without good works.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT) – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”
Three Practical Ways To Position Mountain-Moving Faith:
1. Instead of avoiding difficult assignments, identify which mountain God wants to move through correctly positioned faith.
2. Take concrete steps toward breakthrough based on God’s character rather than circumstances you can see.
3. Position yourself to give God glory when breakthrough happens.
Three Common Obstacles:
—“This obstacle is too big to overcome.”
—“I’ve tried to move mountains before and failed.”
—“This mountain needs to move now.”
Hebrews 11:1 (NLT) – “Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see.”
