God’s renewal often begins not with dramatic change but with something small–like a shoot growing from a stump. Isaiah invites us to look for those tiny signs of new life, and John the Baptist calls us to “repent,” not in shame, but by waking up to God’s nearness and turning toward what God is already growing in us. This week, discover the small beginning God may be planting in you, and take one simple step to turn toward it.

Hope isn’t wishful thinking or optimism; hope is trusting that God is at work even when we can’t see how. This week we explore Isaiah’s call to “climb” toward hope and Paul’s reminder to wake up to God’s presence. We end with a simple Advent challenge: identify where you need hope and ask God each day to awaken hope there.

On the Feast of Christ the King, we remember what kind of King Jesus is: merciful, self-giving, and still inviting us to build with him. In a world obsessed with building our own brand and comfort, we’ll ask the bigger question: What if your life could help bring God’s Kingdom to earth right now?

Building anything that matters–faith, family, or purpose–always gets messy. When life feels shaky, Jesus reminds us that these are the very moments our faith can speak the loudest. This week we look at how to build a faith that bears witness, even when life gets hard.

God isn’t just helping us build our own lives–he’s building his Church. In today’s Gospel, Jesus clears out the clutter to make space for what’s sacred. He’s inviting us to do the same: to put him back at the center and to invest in what lasts. When we give, serve, and invest in our local church, we’re not just “keeping the lights on.” We’re joining God in creating a place where people can encounter hope and light for generations to come.

Life is short, but what we build with it doesn’t have to be. On All Souls Day, we’re reminded that love–not titles, money, or accomplishments–is what endures. This week we explore what it means to live with the end in mind and invest in the kind of legacy that outlives us.

We often try to build our lives on performance and comparison–doing enough, looking good enough, proving we’re better than someone else. Jesus says there’s a better foundation: humility. This week we explore how an honest, open posture before God reshapes us and why serving others lays the bricks of a life God can use.

We’re all building something–careers, families, reputations, lives. But what if we’re pouring our time and energy into things that won’t last? This new series invites us to look at the foundation we’re laying and the legacy we’re leaving. In this first week, we see even Moses couldn’t do it alone. Victory came only when friends stepped in to hold him up. If we want to build a life that matters, we can’t build it solo. God designed us to hold one another up, and to let others hold us up, too.
