What are you Hiding?

It’s a question that hits a little different:  What are you hiding?

Because the truth is we don’t just hide things out of fear, sometimes we hide things because they’re valuable.

You tuck away what matters. You protect what’s precious. You guard what you don’t want to lose.

This Mother’s Day, we’re stepping into a story that feels almost too intense for a holiday… until you realize it’s exactly what we need.

Jochebed lived under a ruthless order: her son wasn’t supposed to live. And yet she chose courage anyway. No spotlight. No guarantees. Just a quiet, defiant faith that said, “I will trust God more than I fear this moment.” She didn’t just save her son, she shaped a deliverer.

She didn’t just survive a crisis—she started a legacy. 

And here’s the tension we’re going to sit in together: The greatest things we pass down are often born in the moments that scare us the most.

And it forces a deeper question for all of us: Are we hiding the right things?

Are we protecting what God has called valuable...our faith, our calling, the next generation?

Or are we hiding the wrong things, our fears or the parts of our life we don’t want God to touch?

This Sunday, we’re leaning into that tension: “Pass It Down: Defiant Faith.”

It’s not a soft message. It’s about recognizing what God has placed in your hands and deciding it’s worth protecting at all costs.

Bring your family. Bring someone who needs to be challenged. Because what you protect… and what you hide… might shape more than just your story.

See you Sunday,
Pastor Mike
