What do you reach for when everything feels like it’s burning down around you? Psalm 46 doesn’t offer a pep talk—it points to a refuge that can’t be shaken, a place of strength when the world is loud, the wars feel endless, and your soul is tired. This week, lean into the words, “Be still and know that I am God,” and consider what it looks like to stop striving, stop fighting alone, and run to the only fortress that holds. If you’ve been searching for safety in all the wrong places, this message is an invitation to come and see—and to find the God who is with you in the middle of it all.

Storms don’t wait until you’re ready—and when they hit, whatever you’re clinging to gets exposed. In this message from 1 Timothy 1:18–20, Paul’s charge to Timothy becomes a wake-up call for anyone navigating pressure, doubt, or drift: hold on to faith and a good conscience, or risk a shipwreck. From a “Perfect Storm” moment in history to the raw reality of real-life trials, this episode confronts the quiet lies of comfort and invites you to grasp what’s truly secure. If you’ve been fighting within, feeling pulled by fear, control, or self-preservation, this is an invitation to let go—and cling to Christ.

Winning the Fight Within | Week 2 by First Christian Church Champaign

Sacrifice and submission. If we're being real, those words probably made a few of you uncomfortable. So we're opening it up. These are answers to your questions, your pushback, your "but what about…" moments.

A new year invites us to rediscover prayer as the heartbeat of a vibrant life with God. Prayer is not a task to perform but a relationship to enjoy; a way of opening ourselves fully to God’s presence and aligning our hearts with His will. This series calls us to move beyond routine and into a life marked by honesty, dependence, and trust. As we learn to pray with wonder, we begin to live with freedom and courage, seeing the world through God’s eyes and joining Him in His work.

Found people find people. Before we even open our mouths or invite someone to church, we must pray for God to prepare hearts and minds to encounter Jesus. What if we prayed incessantly for one life in our lives to come to know Jesus - until He answers? fcc-online.org/onelife
