Pastor Derek explores how discovering and using our spiritual gifts helps us serve the people around us and build up the church. Your gift matters, and it was never meant to stop with you.

What happens when trying harder, working smarter, and relying on your own strength still aren’t enough? In 2 Corinthians 12:8–10, Paul discovers that God doesn’t always remove our hardships, but He promises that His grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness. Pastor Derek explores how the Holy Spirit strengthens us when we reach the end of our own abilities, reminding us that we don’t have to face life’s hardest moments through sheer grit alone. Sometimes, the strength we need begins when we learn to depend on God.

What keeps us standing when life presses in and we feel like we can’t take any more? In 2 Corinthians 4:7–10, Paul reminds us that God’s power is at work within ordinary, fragile people, sustaining us through hardship. Pastor Derek explores how we can be pressed on every side without being crushed, discovering that we don’t have to pretend to be strong or have it all together. When our own strength runs out, God’s power can carry us through.

When life gets hard, it’s easy to wonder where God is and why He hasn’t rescued us from what we’re facing. In Romans 8:37–39, Paul reminds us that nothing in all creation can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus. Pastor Derek explores how the Holy Spirit strengthens us in seasons of hardship and how God’s unshakable love can carry us through even our darkest moments. No matter what you’re facing, you are not abandoned, and your struggles cannot separate you from His love.

Why do we go through painful seasons of life, and can anything good come from them? In Romans 8:28–30, Paul reveals a deeper purpose behind God’s promise to work all things together for good—not that life will always go the way we want, but that even our hardest experiences can shape who we become. Pastor Derek explores how God can use both joy and suffering to transform us into people who reflect the character of Jesus, reminding us that even when life doesn’t make sense, our pain doesn’t have to be without purpose.
