In part 1 of the new "King and Deliverer" series, Pastor Michael introduces one of the greatest women of the Bible - Hannah. Through her years of heartache, mockery, and unanswered prayer, we discover a truth that changes everything: feeling forgotten by God and being forgotten by God are not the same thing. When you can't see God, you can trust that God sees you.

- Hannah endured years of pain, jealousy, and unanswered prayer - yet God never rebuked her tears or her grief - Faith isn't smiling through pain; faith means taking your pain to God - Hannah's peace came not from receiving her answer, but from making a decision to trust - before the answer came - "The LORD remembered Hannah" means His constant care became visible at the right time - not that He had forgotten - Samuel became one of the most pivotal figures in Israel's history, ushering in the age of the Kings

When you can't see God, trust that God sees you. He is never absent, never forgetful, and never far. Just because you can't see what He's doing doesn't mean He has stopped. Faith isn't knowing how your story ends. Faith is knowing Who you can trust with your story.

- "When you can't see God, trust that God sees you." - "Grief and faith aren't opposites. You don't have to walk in here and say, 'I'm fine.'" - "People can be a gift from God, but they can't be God for us." - "Feeling forgotten by God and being forgotten by God are not the same thing." - "God always remembers you because you are always on His Mind." - "Faith isn't knowing how your story ends. Faith is knowing Who you can trust with your story."

Is there something you've been praying about so long that it feels like God has forgotten you? What would it look like to trust that He sees you - even before you can see the outcome?

Tune in to hear the story of little Cora Beth waking up alone in a hospital room, why husbands have been putting their foot in their mouth since 1100 BC, and how Hannah's long-awaited son changed the entire history of Israel.

Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Acts 2:14-41 Bigger Than The Room Series, Part 2

In part 2 of the "Bigger Than The Room" series, Pastor Michael picks up where Peter stood up in front of thousands in Jerusalem and explained what the miracle of Pentecost was really about. The answer wasn't wind, fire, or supernatural languages - it was Jesus. As ReCreate Church steps into a new season with more space, the message is clear: we make room so more people can meet Jesus.

- Peter's sermon at Pentecost pointed directly to Jesus - His life, death, resurrection, and reign - as the fulfillment of centuries of prophecy - The Holy Spirit's empowerment at Pentecost wasn't for a special few - it was for sons and daughters, young and old, servants and free - ReCreate Church refuses to be a "Country Club Church" focused on insider comfort - the mission is to make room for people who haven't met Jesus yet - Biblical repentance means a changed mind and a changed direction, turning away from self and toward Jesus - The movement grew from 120 to 3000 in one day - not a statistic, but 3000 people with families, wounds, and needs who now have Christ

We make room so more people can meet Jesus. God is giving us a bigger space, but the real work is making room in our hearts. Somebody has to show up early, set up chairs, and greet nervous first-timers. Souls are worth it.

- "We make room so more people can meet Jesus." - "Jesus Lived. Jesus Died. Jesus Rose. Jesus Reigns. And greatest of all - Jesus Saves!" - "God is making room for people in our meeting space; we must make room for people in our hearts." - "Our purpose is never to fill seats. It's to help people connect with Jesus." - "No matter your story, you are WELCOME, you are WANTED, and you are LOVED." - "Souls are worth it."

Is there someone in your life who is far from Jesus - someone with a messy story or a broken past - that you could make room for in your heart this week?

Tune in to hear Pastor Michael make a case that the best preparation for the end of the world is calling on Jesus, why country club membership has nothing to do with Church, and how 120 people changed history because they refused to stay in the room.

Speaker: Michael Shockley, ReCreate Church Scripture: Joshua 4:1-9 Bigger Than The Room Series, Part 3

In the final message from The Lord's Corner, Pastor Michael leads ReCreate Church through its last Sunday in the building it has called home for seven years. Through the story of Israel's crossing of the Jordan River and the memorial stones they carried to the other side, we discover that remembering God's faithfulness behind us is the key to trusting His faithfulness ahead of us.

- Just as Israel stood at the Jordan River between wilderness and promise, ReCreate stands at its own Jordan moment - God told His people to stop and build a memorial before moving forward, so future generations would ask "what are these stones about?" - The memorial stones pointed to the story of everything God had done - they were not magical, but meaningful - ReCreate's seven years at The Lord's Corner are filled with memorial stones: souls saved, kids discipled, lives healed, a congregation becoming a family - This room didn't make ReCreate a Church. ReCreate made this room feel like a holy place.

Remembering God's faithfulness behind us helps us trust His faithfulness ahead of us. The same God who carried us through this season is going forward with us into the next. Wherever we go, we must ask: "Lord, what are You going to do here?"

- "Remembering God's faithfulness behind us helps us trust His faithfulness ahead of us." - "Crossing the Jordan doesn't mean transitioning to an easy life. It means a new season and a new reason to trust." - "This room didn't make ReCreate a Church. ReCreate made this room feel like a holy place." - "Everywhere we go, we must ask, 'Lord, what are You going to do here?'" - "If You have been so good to us here, give us faith that Your Grace will be with us as we go forward." - "We can't lose that feeling of home and family."

What memorial stones are you carrying from this season of your life? And what do those stones tell you about how much God can be trusted with what comes next?

Tune in to hear the final service at The Lord's Corner - including Pastor Michael's reflections on seven years of sacred moments in a building that started as a restaurant, became a rental shop, and ended as a holy place.
