| “Quit Tripping” | Pastor Stephen J. Thurston | September 13, 2026 |

Main message: The sermon says that falling is inevitable for God's people, but the important work happens after the fall — faith must confront the lies and patterns the fall produced so we can change and develop the resilience to rise again.

Key points:

• The "floor" (where you fell) is not just a consequence but the place your faith must engage the conditioned beliefs from the fall.
• Falling is expected for the righteous; Proverbs affirms that we do fall.
• The problem isn't that we trip, it's that we keep tripping over the fact that we tripped.
• The challenge and call is to stop replaying the failure, change those patterns, and cultivate the resilience to get back up.
