Spiritual Boot Camp

Join us for the third week of our series "Thriving In Babylon" as Pastor Charlie delivers a message titled "Spiritual Boot Camp," diving deep into James 1:2-3. In this sermon, Pastor Charlie explores how God uses trials and hardships as a spiritual boot camp to prepare us for thriving in our modern-day Babylon culture. Through an engaging personal story about conquering the challenging Cades Cove bike trail with his son Zach, Pastor Charlie illustrates how we discover our true strength only when pushed beyond our limits. Learn about the five essential qualities every believer needs to thrive in difficult times: Obedience, Perspective, Endurance, Confidence, and Courage. Pastor Charlie challenges us to move beyond being "wimpy Christians" and embrace the spiritual toughening that comes through trials, showing how these experiences build the character needed to stand firm in a godless culture. Be inspired to see your current struggles as God's preparation for greater things ahead and discover practical ways to develop unshakeable faith that not only survives but thrives in any circumstance.
