Take Hold Church's 3rd Anniversary | Acts 17:16-34
Tonight we celebrated three years of Take Hold Church and looked at Paul's message to the philosophers of Athens in Acts 17. Paul finds himself in a city he never planned to be in, surrounded by people who are spiritual but far from God, and he tells them about the unknown God they've been searching for all along. The message: God positions each of us exactly where we are, not by coincidence, so we might seek Him and find Him. Whether you feel settled or completely displaced, geographically far from home or just far from God, we walk through how Paul addressed both indifference toward God and confusion about who He is, and how nearness, not distance, is what actually defines Him. We also touch on Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3, Jeremiah 23:23-24, and Psalm 145:18 as more pictures of a God who holds everything together and stays close to anyone who calls on Him. If you've never lived in a place that surprised God, this one is for you.

Lay Aside The Weight
A special message | Hebrews 12:1-2This week our pastor stepped away from the planned schedule to bring a message he felt the Holy Spirit had placed specifically on his heart for Take Hold Church: lay aside the weight. Preaching from Hebrews 12:1-2, he unpacked what it means to run the race of faith surrounded by a "great cloud of witnesses," connecting back to the "faith chapter" of Hebrews 11 and the vivid picture of Greek runners who stripped away anything that could slow them down. He challenged us to do the same with whatever we're carrying — hurt, unforgiveness, church wounds, or a sin we keep returning to — and shared his own story of choosing Christian counseling before the move to Edinburgh as an example of proactively laying weight down before a hard season. The message closed by pointing to Acts 7, where Stephen sees Jesus standing rather than seated at the right hand of the Father, and moved into a time of communion built around laying weight aside together.

What Jesus Does With Your Doubt - Nothing is Off The Table Week 4
Week 4 of Nothing Is Off the Table | John 20:19-31
This week we're tackling a question a lot of us carry but rarely say out loud: what do I do with my doubt? We walk through the story of Thomas, who refused to let his doubt about the resurrection stay hidden, and see how Jesus responded, not with rebuke, but with mercy and an invitation to bring it into the light. We also look at the father in Mark 9 who prayed, "I believe, help my unbelief," and find that same prayer waiting for us today.
