REAL FAITH FOR A REAL FUTURE

February 15, 2026  Pastor Sam Goins 

We aren't playing church; we are a family on a mission to radically impact our community by connecting people to Jesus. 

1. PASSING THE TORCH  

"I will take some of the power of the Spirit that is on you and put it on them. They will share the burden of the people with you so that you will not have to carry it alone." — Numbers 11:17 (NLT) 

"Please let me inherit a double share of your spirit and become your successor." — 2 Kings 2:9 (NLT) 

"Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others." — 2 Timothy 2:2 (NLT) 

"He appointed twelve that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach." — Mark 3:14 (NIV) 

2. DOING LIFE IN CIRCLES  

Church Isn't A Building You Go To; It's A Family You Belong To.  

"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." — Matthew 18:20 (NIV) 

"Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ." — Galatians 6:2 (NLT) 

"As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." — Proverbs 27:17 (NIV) 

Stop Just Sitting In A Row On Sundays. Get In A Circle. You Can’t "Carry A Burden" Or "Sharpen Iron" With The Back Of Someone’s Head. 

3. RISK-TAKERS FOR GOD  

WE ARE:  "Bet-The-Farm" Risk-Takers.  

"No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing." — 2 Samuel 24:24 (NLT) 

"With the royal hand of my Godizing favor upon me, the king granted my requests." — Nehemiah 2:8 (NLT) 

"Test me in this... and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven." — Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
