Summary

What does it look like to move forward with a solid foundation? In Week 4 of the Forward Series, Pastor Michael Todd challenges us to build for the future by establishing clear standards rooted in Christ. He reminds us that sight without standards leads to self-sabotage and that going forward without the right foundation is foolish. Pastor Michael unpacks why God’s Word is the only standard that remains steady in every season and introduces The Great 8, our church’s Culture Code, as the values shaping who we are and how we build. From Crazy Faith and Generosity to Worship and Fun this message calls us to live out our faith with intention, integrity, and impact.
If you’re ready to stop drifting, start building wisely, and move forward with purpose, this word will help you lay the right foundation for what God is doing next.
