Get Out of the Chair and Get Into the Fight | Kingdom First | Joshua Means - Guest Speaker

What has God placed in your hands, and are you willing to use it? In this message, Joshua Means from The Solomon Foundation continues our Kingdom First series through Matthew 25:14-30 and the Parable of the Talents. He challenges us to examine how we’re stewarding our time, talents, and treasure for the mission of Jesus. Faith was never meant to remain comfortable. God has uniquely equipped every person to make a difference, and following Him often requires stepping out of the chair, taking a risk, and joining the work He is already doing. The question is simple: Will we remain comfortable, or will we get into the fight? 📍 Trace Church | Colorado Springs Join us Sundays at 8:15a | 10:00a | 11:45a | (Mountain Time) Livestream 10:00a MST 4330 Mark Dabling Blvd, Colorado Springs Looking for a church in Colorado Springs?
