Concluding the “bold moves” series, the message teaches that real faith takes intentional risk—often beginning in “divine disorder.” Jesus may send believers into storms to stretch them, reveal new dimensions of who he is, and trigger faith to step out of comfort and into God’s “adventure.” Like Peter, believers are called to respond to Jesus’ simple permission—“Come”—and take steps toward him even when wind and waves remain.
Point 1
Bold moves may start in “divine disorder”—Jesus may insist you enter a situation that stretches your faith; being obedient doesn’t exempt you from storms.
Point 2
Bold moves require seeing Jesus differently; God may show up in unfamiliar ways that don’t match expectations, and missing that can keep you in disorder longer than necessary.
Point 3
Faith begins when you hear Jesus’ voice, not when you understand his method; Jesus’ presence is enough even if the storm hasn’t changed.
Point 4
Triggered faith asks for permission to do what seems impossible (“tell me to come”), not just relief from circumstances; Jesus’ instruction is simple: “Come.”
Point 5
Stepping out on Jesus’ word is faith (not mere risk); even if you falter, every step out of the boat is a step closer to Jesus and destiny.

The weight of a second chance
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Aug 30, 2026
From Exodus 34, the speaker teaches that after we mishandle what God has given us, God may still speak to us and offer another chance—but that second chance carries responsibility, effort, and preparation. Like Moses, we must “chisel out” what we broke and show up differently so we can leave differently.
An Obligated Community
Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr. · Aug 30, 2026
Teaching from Mark 2:1–12: four friends refuse to let their paralyzed friend miss the opportunity to get to Jesus. An obligated community takes responsibility to carry others, pushes through obstacles, and is willing to take radical steps to put a need in front of Jesus. Jesus first heals what can’t be seen (forgiveness, guilt, shame), then also heals what can be seen to prove his authority, moving people from onlookers to joint praisers.
The Power of God's Community
Elder Steven Harris · Aug 23, 2026
The speaker teaches that living near people (or attending church) is not the same as belonging to God’s community. God’s community requires established relationships marked by trust, respect, unity, love, and sanctification—separation from unbelief and ungodly practices. Using Israel’s encounter with Moab and Balaam, the sermon highlights that God gives His people a reputation, preserves His community, and warns that the enemy tries to weaken community through compromise from within.
