🧱 Sunday Recap | “The Four R’s” | Juan Cabello

What a powerful word we received today from our brother in Christ, Juan Cabello!

As believers, our walk with Christ isn’t a one-time moment—it’s a lifelong journey. Today we were reminded of The Four R’s that shape our faith:

🙏 Repent
Repentance is more than saying, “I’m sorry.” It’s humbly admitting that we need Jesus. When we repent, God promises forgiveness, cleansing, and times of spiritual refreshing (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9). Sin keeps us from fully experiencing His presence, so the question we should all ask ourselves is: “Is there anything I need to lay at the feet of Jesus?”

🧭 Realign
We must continually choose God’s direction over our own. Life will bring trials, but those trials teach us to depend on Him instead of ourselves (Proverbs 3:5-6). When Christ is placed back at the center of our hearts, everything else falls into its proper place (Revelation 2:4-5).

🔥 Refine
God uses the fire of trials to strengthen our faith, not destroy it (Malachi 3:2-3). We won’t overcome every temptation, hardship, or struggle in our own strength—but we don’t have to. God has given us the Holy Spirit as our Helper. Even when the questions are difficult and the pain is real, we can trust the One who understands everything.

🙌 Rejoice
No matter the season, we are called to rejoice because of who God is and what He has done (Philippians 4:4). His faithfulness never changes.

“What a mighty God and Savior we serve!”

The Christian life is a journey of repenting, realigning, refining, and rejoicing—and God is faithful through every step.

“God is faithful!” ❤️

🔥 SUNDAY IS COMING! 🔥

Make plans to be in the house this Sunday as our brother in Christ, Juan Cabello, brings a powerful message:
✨ Repent. Realign. Refine. Rejoice. ✨

God isn't finished with your story. Sometimes He calls us to turn back to Him, align our hearts with His will, allow Him to refine us, and then rejoice in the victory He brings. Come expecting God to move in a fresh way!

📖 "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord." — Acts 3:19

📖✨ Friends in Faith is back tonight! ✨📖

Join us tonight at 6:30 PM as we continue our journey through God's Word in Genesis 46.

As Jacob steps out in faith and follows God's leading into Egypt, we're reminded that even when the path is unfamiliar, God goes before us. His promises remain faithful through every season.

"Fear not to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation. I myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you up again." — Genesis 46:3–4

Whether you've been with us from the beginning or this is your first time, there's a seat waiting for you. Come grow in God's Word, build meaningful friendships, and be encouraged together. 🤍
