SERMON NOTES
In Case You Missed It.
There are Bible stories that don’t show up in the “greatest hits” sermons, stories most people don’t know, don’t remember, or have never heard taught. But they’re not random. They’re packed with meaning for real life right now. In this series, we’re digging up overlooked moments that prove God is paying attention, working in the background, and inviting ordinary people into something bigger. If you’ve ever felt unseen, stuck, or unsure where God is in your story, don’t miss these.
The Floating Axe Head
Some of the most powerful stories in the Bible are the ones most people miss.
This week, we explore a surprising story that reveals a simple but life-changing truth: God cares about more than just the big moments. He cares about you.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or wondered if God sees what you’re carrying, this message is for you.
