Pastor Andy Cass. What if you’ve surrendered your life to Jesus, but you’re still negotiating with Him about where He’s asking you to go? Throughout Scripture, God called ordinary people into extraordinary assignments. Jonah didn’t want to go. Moses had excuses. Gideon felt unqualified. Ananias had undeniable facts that made obedience seem dangerous. Each had reasons to resist God’s invitation, but eventually, they chose to trust Him and GO ANYWAY. TEXT: Acts 9:10–19, Jonah 1:3, Jonah 3:3, Exodus 4:10, Exodus 4:20, Judges 6:15, Judges 7:15, Matthew 16:24, Acts 2:17–18 NOTES: FOUR WHITE FLAGS 1. JONAH — BLATANT DISOBEDIENCE “I don’t want to go.” Even when you don’t want to, GO ANYWAY. 2. MOSES — BLATANT EXCUSES “I don’t think I can go.” Even when you feel incapable, GO ANYWAY. 3. GIDEON — BLATANT INSECURITIES “I don’t believe I’m qualified to go.” Even when you feel inadequate, GO ANYWAY. 4. ANANIAS — UNDENIABLE FACTS “I have good reasons not to go.” Even when the facts suggest you shouldn’t, GO ANYWAY. BIG IDEA: STOP NEGOTIATING. START OBEYING. GO ANYWAY. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Christy Cass We are all multiplying something. The question is, what are we multiplying? Our decisions, habits, faith, and influence don’t stop with us. They shape the people around us and the generations that follow. TEXT: 1 Kings 3, 1 Kings 12:7, 2 Timothy 1:5, 2 Timothy 2:1–2, 5, John 6:9, Matthew 4:16, 1 Corinthians 12:7 NOTES: We Are All Multiplying Something * Having wisdom is different from living wisely. * Our choices influence the next generation. * What we model today can multiply tomorrow. The Process of Multiplication 1. I do, you watch. 2. I do, you help. 3. You do, I help. 4. You do, I cheer. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Andy Cass Jesus modeled this kind of intentional ministry everywhere He went. He saw the forgotten, the sick, the desperate, the searching, and the broken. He didn’t just see people; He recognized their value and responded to their needs. TEXT: Acts 3:1–8, John 4, Luke 19, Mark 1:40–42, John 9, John 5:1–9, Mark 5:25–34, Mark 10, John 3, John 21, Genesis 1:27, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Acts 1:8, Galatians 6:10, Revelation 3:15–16, Acts 4:13, Isaiah 6:8 NOTES: Jesus Sees the One * The forgotten. * The sick. * The desperate. * The searching. * The broken. Before You Can ADD VALUE, You Have to SEE VALUE. 1. YOU HAVE VALUE. 2. YOU CARRY VALUE. 3. YOU GIVE VALUE. Stupid-Filled Boldness is motivated by self versus Spirit-Filled Boldness is motivated by love. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Andy Cass Every investment is an exchange: something valuable today is given with the expectation of something greater tomorrow. The same is true in the Kingdom of God. God has placed time, talent, treasure, influence, and opportunity in our hands and He invites us to steward them toward something eternal. In this message, Pastor Andy challenges us to move beyond bare-minimum obedience and become people who willingly invest in what God is building. Because what you invest in today doesn’t just shape your life, it can become an invitation for the people who come after you. TEXT: 1 Peter 4:10, Matthew 6:21, Psalm 119:105, Genesis 22:2, Esther 4:14–16, 2 Samuel 24:24, 2 Chronicles 3:1, 2 Corinthians 12:14–15 NOTES: God is the great investor. Good leaders are obedient. Great leaders learn to invest. BIG IDEA: Obedience and sacrifice aren’t the price of being found. They’re the proof of a life that’s been found. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Adriano Schoeps David was overlooked by his own family, underestimated by others, and still chosen by God. In this message, we’re reminded that God does not choose the way the world chooses. He looks at the heart, uses what others overlook, and prepares us in private before entrusting us with public purpose. TEXT: 1 Samuel 16:11, 1 Samuel 16:7, 1 Corinthians 1:27, 1 Samuel 17:45, Proverbs 4:23, 1 Samuel 24:6, Psalm 51:10 NOTES: Never Judge Your Future by Your Current Resources God Chooses What People Overlook Key Truth-The world chooses you based on what you can do. God chooses you based on what He can do through you. THE FIELD — HUMILITY Private faithfulness prepares you for public purpose. THE CAVE — TRUST David had the opportunity to take matters into his own hands, but chose to trust God’s timing. THE FAILURE — REPENTANCE “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Andy Cass What if God is inviting you to get off the bench? Deep within us, we want to find our place, belong to our people, and know that our lives matter. Different people. Different assignments. Different responses. The same God who calls and uses willing people. TEXT: Genesis 6:13–22, Genesis 12:1–4, Exodus 3:10, Joshua 1:6–9, Judges 5:7, 12, Judges 6:11–16, 1 Samuel 3:1–10, 1 Samuel 17:32, Isaiah 6:4–9, Luke 1:26–38, John 21:15–19, Acts 9:10–19, Philippians 1:6, Romans 6 NOTES: THE INVITATION * Noah: I’ll build it. — Create + Obey * Abraham: I’ll leave. — Go Long * Moses: I’ll go. — Full Send * Joshua: I’ll lead. — Take the Lead * Deborah: I’ll rise up. — Rise Up * Gideon: I’ll fight. — Use What You Have * Samuel: I’ll listen. — Listen * David: I’ll step up. — Step Up * Isaiah: Send me. — Volunteer * Mary: I’m your servant. — Surrender * Peter: I’ll feed your sheep. — Care for People * Paul: I’ll carry the gospel. — Carry the Mission If God is into inviting people, then so should we be. BIG IDEA: GOD CALLS. WE RESPOND. GOD USES. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Scott Shull + Panel What does it look like to experience the peace of Jesus when life doesn’t go according to plan? In this conversation, Scott Shull leads a panel through real stories of stress, worry, need, abundance, disappointment, and victory. Different stories and different circumstances—but the same invitation: learning to trust Jesus in all of it. TEXT: Philippians 4:11–13 ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Andy Cass What if peace isn’t something you chase, but something you experience by staying close to Jesus? Jesus didn’t just tell us what to believe. He showed us, on repeat, how to live. He knew and lived Scripture, made disciples, gathered with God’s people, lived on mission, and prayed. He withdrew to pray, found margin to pray, and prayed often. TEXT: Philippians 4:9, Philippians 4:11, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Luke 6:12, Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16, Romans 3:20, Romans 3:23 BIG IDEA: When Jesus is near, peace is in proximity. NOTES: WHAT DID JESUS MODEL? * He knew and lived Scripture. * He made disciples. * He gathered often. * He lived on mission. * He prayed. PRAY LIKE JESUS- 1. Change Your Place // He Withdrew to Pray Jesus went to gardens, mountainsides, wilderness, and solitary places. 2. Find Your Time // He Prayed in the Margins Early mornings. Late nights. Before meals. Between ministry moments. 3. Build Your Rhythm // He Prayed Often Prayer wasn’t simply Jesus’ response to a crisis. It was a consistent practice of His life. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

In this message we are challenged to examine what has taken up residence in our minds—and to start filling that space with truth. Pastor Andy Cass TEXT: Philippians 4:8; Romans 4:8; 1 Corinthians 13:11; Philippians 3:13; Exodus 14:10–22; Psalm 119:105 BIG IDEA: Forward requires a new focus. NOTES: What gets your focus gets your thoughts. What gets your thoughts influences your direction. And your direction determines where you go. Your feet tend to follow your focus. THE PROBLEM- Our minds are cluttered. THE PLAN- Fill your mind with truth. You are blessed. You are forgiven. You are called to grow. You can remain humble. God is still leading you forward. Prayer- "It’s moving day. Fear, worry, anxiety, stress, the enemy, sin, and lies—you’ve lived here long enough. By the power of Jesus Christ and the unconditional love of our Heavenly Father: vacate the premises."

Pastor Andy Cass Are you a person of peace? We all want peace, but wanting peace and becoming a peaceful person are two different things. TEXT: Philippians 4:7, Galatians 5:22–23, Acts 7:54–60, Daniel 3:16–25, Hebrews 13:5, Luke 10:3–9, Matthew 5:38–45 NOTES: Pitstop #1 — The Peace of God // Peace is fruit. It isn’t something we manufacture or earn. It’s something the Holy Spirit produces within us. Pitstop #2 — Peace That Transcends Understanding // God’s peace isn’t limited to peaceful circumstances. Peace in prison. Peace in suffering. Peace in the fire. Peace in everyday pressure. Pitstop #3 — Peace Will Guard You // Where there is fruit, there is a tree. If you want peace, plant yourself where peace grows and stay there long enough for God to form you into a person of peace. THE PROBLEM- We all want peace, but we have not adopted the practices of a peaceful person. THE PLAN- Peace is a community garden project. PLANT yourself around people of peace. PRUNE what God reveals needs to change. PRODUCE + PROTECT what God is growing in you. BIG IDEA- Be grafted TODAY where you want to PRODUCE TOMORROW. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching

Pastor Andy Cass Worry has a way of taking your mind somewhere God never asked you to live. It pulls tomorrow’s trouble into today and leaves your body present while your mind is somewhere else. TEXT: Philippians 4:6, Acts 16:16–30, Matthew 6:25–34, 1 Peter 5:5–7 NOTES: The Problem- Worry has a way of taking your mind where God never asked you to live. Question- Is your pain driving you to prayer? The Problem With Worry * Worry is a horrible predictor of the future. * Worry manipulates you to believe you are not secure, safe, or loved. * Worry will never feed you. * Worry will never clothe you. * Worry will never add value. Three Big Areas of Worry * Provision — Will I have enough? * Physical Condition — Will I be okay? * Perception — What will people think of me? Thanksgiving Changes Us * Recognize what is already blessed. * Redirect your attention. * Rest in the goodness of God. * Reframe your outlook. Closing Practice Name your worry. Write it down. Cast it on the Lord. ⸻ Stay Connected: Give: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/giving Online Service: Sundays 9 AM (YouTube & Facebook Live) Connect: https://theecho.churchcenter.com/people/forms/113001 Instagram: @wearetheechochurch #EchoChurch #ChristianSermon #FaithGrowth #BibleTeaching
