Every theme park ends with the same invitation: take something home with you. Souvenirs remind us where we’ve been, but some fade quickly while others remain treasured keepsakes. The same is true in our life of faith. When we leave worship, when we finish a season of growth, even when we come to the end of our lives, we always carry something with us.This week we’ll explore what it means to carry treasures that last—the love of Christ, the grace of God, and the joy of the Spirit. Jesus warns us not to cling to earthly trinkets that fade, but to invest in treasures of heaven. Paul reminds us that God has placed His treasure in fragile jars of clay—our very lives—so that His glory shines through us. And Moses calls us to carry God’s Word into our homes, our work, and our hearts, so faith is lived daily.As we “exit through the gift shop” of this series, the question is simple: What are you carrying with you? Will it be temporary souvenirs, or the lasting treasures of God’s grace?

This week’s message, Building for the Future, draws on Jesus’ parable of the man building a tower (Luke 14:28–33) and the way theme parks carefully plan new rides and expansions. Just as no one begins building without first counting the cost, following Jesus requires intentionality, preparation, and vision. Faith is not about standing still but about being willing to grow, adapt, and even risk for the sake of the Kingdom. Like a theme park that must evolve to serve future generations, discipleship means releasing what is comfortable so that God can build something new in and through us.

Have you ever noticed how a ride feels scarier in the dark than it does in the daylight? When we can’t see what’s ahead, every turn feels overwhelming. But in the light, the very same ride becomes easier to face—we can anticipate the twists and even enjoy the journey.In this week’s message, From Shadows to Sight, we’ll discover how fear often thrives in the dark, but the light of Christ transforms our perspective. The ride of life may not change, but when we walk in the light, we find clarity, courage, and peace.
