Moving Forward & Staying Close

Aug 2, 2026    Denise Tovar

What if your hardest season was actually the doorway to your deepest encounter with God? This week, Denise walked us through the book of Job and uncovered something powerful: suffering does not mean abandonment. It can mean invitation.

Job lost everything, yet he never stopped bringing his honest, raw, broken heart before the Lord. And when God finally showed up in the storm, all of Job's questions gave way to one overwhelming reality: God is real, God is near, and God is enough.

The hedge of protection is real. The personal relationship matters. And sometimes lessons simply cannot be learned in seasons of plenty. Like Job, we are invited to move forward and stay close, no matter what surrounds us. Job 42:5 reminds us that there is a difference between hearing about God and actually encountering him.

If you missed this message, come find us. Your questions are welcome here.
