Happening TONIGHT! Hope you'll join us!

Join us Sunday - www.southrun.org. Here's what the message is about.

Bartimaeus was blind, broke, and sitting on the side of the road. His desperation led him to shout past the crowd—who were telling him to shut up—and to get the attention of the one who could do something. This Sunday we're talking about the kind of bold, persistent, holy-hustle faith that refuses to stay seated and discovers that Jesus is already waiting, already asking, already wanting to hear all about how he can answer your deepest needs.

This Sunday we’re exploring:
--Why faith is not passive and what bold, persistent faith actually looks like in practice.
--The question Jesus asks twice in Mark 10, and why he answers it differently each. time — What do you want?
--Why the version of Christianity that tells you to want nothing and need nothing is actually unbiblical and antithetical to the Jesus way that leads to life.
--How sacred striving and holy hustle are not opposed to grace but the key that unlocks the grace that awaits you.
--How the mature follower of Jesus knows who they are, is not afraid to ask for what they need, but is ultimately satisfied even if the answer is no because God’s answers are always in our best interest.

There’s a part of the Easter story we often overlook—Saturday.

The day after the cross, but before the resurrection. The day when everything felt silent, and it seemed like hope was gone. The day when people who loved Jesus were left grieving, waiting, and wondering if any of His promises were true.

But just because it felt hopeless didn’t mean hope was gone. God was still working. While the disciples were weeping, while the world thought death had won, God was preparing for resurrection.

And on the third day, Jesus rose.

So, if you’re in a season of waiting, where God feels silent, if you’re praying and don’t see an answer, don’t give up. What feels like a silent Saturday may just be the day before resurrection. God is still working, even when you can’t see it. Hope is still alive, even when it feels far away. And if Jesus conquered the grave, there is no situation in your life too dead for Him to bring back to life.

So hold on. Keep praying. Keep trusting.

Sunday is coming.
