The Great Exchange: The Purpose of Christmas

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Galatians 4:4–7; Deuteronomy 4:9–10; Psalm 78; Genesis 3:15; John 1:29; Hebrews 9:22; Matthew 1:18–25; Isaiah 7:14; Romans 6:23; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12–21; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 64:6

Christmas is far more than a date on the calendar or a tradition passed down through generations. It is a divine rescue mission, carefully planned long before the first star appeared in the sky. This season calls us to remember, to tell the next generation what God has done, and to refocus our hearts on why heaven stepped into earth. Christmas reminds us that God had a plan, paid the price, and made a way where there was none. When we remove ourselves from the center and return our focus to Him, the holiday becomes a holy day—celebrating the greatest exchange the world has ever known.

In Christ,

Lean On Me

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Exodus 17:8-16; Proverbs 18:24; James 5:17; Galatians 6:2; Hebrews 10:25

DATE: 12-07-25

Everyone faces moments when their strength runs low, and in those seasons, the people around you can make all the difference. We were never meant to fight life’s battles alone. The right friends lift your arms when you’re tired, stand beside you when the pressure is heavy, and speak courage when quitting feels easier. Good friends are a gift from God—strong, faithful, noble, and willing to walk with you through any storm. Surround yourself with those who help you rise, not those who pull you down. With the right people by your side, victory becomes possible, and hope stays alive.

In Christ,

You’ve Got a Friend in Me

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Proverbs 18:24; John 15:13-15; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 27:17; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Luke 5:18

DATE: 12-03-25

True friendship is one of the greatest gifts a person can experience. Real friends lift you, strengthen you, and walk with you through every season of life. But not everyone who stands beside you is truly for you—some drain you, distract you, or dull who God created you to be. A true friend won’t let you fall without reaching out a hand, and they won’t let you stay stuck when you’re meant to grow. The right friends sharpen your character, strengthen your walk, and speak truth even when it’s hard. A faithful friend is rare, valuable, and worth holding onto.

In Christ,

It’s Time to Face the Giants

Speaker: Sophia Carver

Scripture References: Numbers 13:26-33; Joshua 14:6-14; Hebrews 8:6; 1 John 4:4; Romans 8:11

DATE: 11-30-25

Every believer reaches a moment when the promises of God stand in front of them—big, inviting, and overflowing with potential—yet so do the giants. The question isn’t whether the obstacles are real; it’s whether we allow them to overshadow what God has already spoken. Many never step into their promise because they let their “but” get in the way. But when God gives you a word, it carries power, endurance, and life. His promises don’t die, and they don’t expire. You simply have to trust, believe, and move forward. The giant may look big, but the God inside you is greater. It’s time to rise up, pass the torch of faith, and take the land He has already given you.

A Heart That Remembers to Give Thanks

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 5:8; 2 Timothy 3:1-5; 1 Corinthians 10:6-14; Deuteronomy 8:10; Philippians 2:14

DATE: 11-23-25

We live in a world overflowing with complaints, negativity, and a growing spirit of entitlement. Gratitude is becoming rare, and many have forgotten the importance of thanking God in every season. But a thankful heart keeps you grounded, focused, and aware of God’s goodness—especially in days that feel darker and more difficult. Time is short, and the days are perilous; now more than ever, we must choose gratitude over grumbling and praise over complaining. When we recognize how much God has done, “enough” suddenly becomes more than enough. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

In Christ,

Healing That Has Already Been Provided

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Exodus 15:26; Proverbs 3:5-6; Isaiah 53:1; Deuteronomy 28:1; Luke 13:10-17; Romans 6:23; Psalm 107:20; Isaiah 53:5; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Peter 2:24; James 5:13-15

DATE: 11-16-25

Many believers struggle to receive healing not because God hasn’t provided it, but because they haven’t learned to fight for what Jesus already paid for. Healing is not a mystery, nor is it a question of whether God wants you whole—He has already declared Himself as your Healer. The real battle is choosing whose report you will believe and what you choose to meditate on. When you fill your heart with God’s Word and refuse to let circumstances speak louder than truth, you step into the freedom Jesus purchased. It’s time to stand, speak His Word, and receive what already belongs to you.

In Christ,

The Battlefield of the Mind

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:10-20; Romans 12:1-2; John 8:44; Luke 4:13; Proverbs 23:7; Isaiah 53:1

DATE: 11-09-25

The greatest battles you will ever face are not fought with weapons or fists—they are fought in your mind. Every thought is either a seed of truth from God or a lie from the enemy. What you think shapes what you believe, and what you believe shapes how you live. That’s why the mind must be renewed and washed daily with the Word of God. It’s time to clean house—tear down the strongholds, silence the lies, and let God’s truth rule your thoughts. The Word of God can change anything, even the way you think!

In Christ,

It Is Written!

Speaker: Stacey Carver

Scripture References: Matthew 4:1-11; 2 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:10-18; Ephesians 2:2; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Hebrews 4:12; Romans 8:14; Psalm 103:20; Luke 4:13

DATE: 11-05-25

We live in a world where the enemy constantly twists truth and tempts believers to compromise. But victory begins with knowing who you are in Christ and standing firm on the Word of God. Sin is simply disobedience to His voice, and the only way to resist the enemy’s lies is to know the truth for yourself. When the Word is hidden in your heart and you are led by the Spirit, no temptation can overtake you. When Satan comes with deception, you can stand strong and declare with confidence—It is written!

In Christ,
