In this week's message from our Finding Favor series, Bob teaches us about the concept of "Strategic Failure." We can have a new definition of success: “Finding Favor with God.” Why settle for earthly success when you can have God’s favor? And even our pain and suffering have a purpose; our failures can actually be our successes. With this in mind, Bob closes with a challenge for us not to be the ones yelling at God for the pain that's in our life.

In today’s message from the Finding Favor series, Bud shares about those times in our lives when financial scarcity can actually be a sign of God’s blessing. God just might show us His favor by making us poorer for a season. The real question for all of us is, “Can we be blessed financially when God gives us wealth AND when He takes it away?"

If you've ever wondered whether God wants to intervene in your life to give you a blessing, just think of the most over-the-top, sitting-on-the-edge-of-his-seat-with-anticipation, ready-to-shower-you-with-amazing-gifts type of dad, then multiply that a thousand-fold.

For this week’s message in our “Finding Favor” series, Troy shares about those times when God, in His favor, brings us to a place where we're angry at the messes we’ve made in our lives, and we finally throw up our hands and give up. We take real action because of this “Holy Discontent” that’s built up, where God helps us understand that something must change.

To introduce our new series based on the book, Finding Favor (by Brian Jones), Troy shares the truth that even in the midst of difficult circumstances, God gives us His perspective and uses scary, painful, counter-intuitive ways of bringing His best to us. God is always working for our good, even though we may not recognize it. God is good, all the time.
