Missions Collective 2026: Hold the Rope - Week 4 | Hold The Rope With Encouragement | Pastor Joshua Crouse

•

As we wrapped up Missions Collective, Pastor Joshua shared about our fourth pillar: Encouragement. Looking at Philippians 2:19–30, we were reminded that encouragement shows up, shares the load, and strengthens the mission. We may not all be called to go, but we can all play a part in holding the rope and helping others keep carrying what God has called them to carry.

  • Missions Collective 2026 | Hold the Rope: Week 2 | Holding the Rope Through Giving | Pastor Joshua Crouse

    50:48|
    In Week 2 of our Hold the Rope series, Pastor Joshua continued taking us through the pillars of the Missions Collective by focusing on the second pillar: Giving. Through 2 Corinthians 8, we’re reminded that generosity starts with surrender. God isn’t just interested in what we have in our hands, but He cares about what’s happening in our hearts. Giving invites us to move beyond convenience, trust God with what He’s placed in our hands, and become active partners in His mission. Because giving isn’t simply about funding the mission, it’s about joining the mission. Tune in as we discover the grace behind generosity and what it looks like to move from eagerness to obedience when God calls us to give."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa

    42:22|
    What does it look like to hold the rope for someone through prayer? As we start Missions Collective 2026, we started our brand new Hold the Rope series. And this week we’re focusing on prayer as a vital part of how we support and stand with those God has called to go. Through Acts 12, we’re reminded that prayer reaches places we cannot, holds people up when they need it most, and keeps us connected to what God is doing, even when we can’t see the full picture. You may not be where someone else is, but through prayer, you can stand with them right where you are."I said yes to Jesus!" - Click Here!Connect with us!instagram.com/lifechurchroaFacebook.com/lifechurchroa
