Flourish | Week 8 | April 06 Worship Gathering

Storied Church

This week we close out our Flourish sermon series in a special way—gathered not in a sanctuary of stone, but in the sanctuary of creation itself. We return to the words of Jesus at the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount, where He offers a call to action: to build our lives on a foundation that can endure. To flourish, Jesus teaches, is not to escape difficulty—but to root ourselves in values that are practiced, embodied, and tested in the wilderness of life. Flourishing happens not on the mountaintop or the cruise ship, but in the grit and grace of real life. This message challenges us to consider what we’re building on. Are our values lived out or just ideals we admire from a distance? Do we have the kind of foundation that can weather the storms of life? Storied Church is a community rooted in hope, justice, and love. If this message speaks to you, share it with someone who needs encouragement today.
