Year in Review: Foundation vs. Highlight Reel

As we close out 2025, Pastor Ezra Stanton leads Mission Church through a powerful year-end reflection. This isn't just a celebration of highlight moments but a call to recognize what God has been building in us all year long. Because while highlight reels are inspiring, they can't carry the weight of real life. Foundations can.

The message walks through the core teachings of the year—each one forming layers of faith, identity, and transformation. By Faith grounded us in trust when clarity felt far away. Seeds reminded us that everything lasting begins small, planted in the soil of consistency. Family Strong showed us that homes thrive on humility and honor. No Filter Faith called us out of performance and into the light. Made for More reminded us that our identity in Christ is already secured. Fear Not spoke directly to our anxieties, declaring the confidence we have in Jesus.

This message isn't just a recap, it's a revelation. From Genesis to Revelation, from Hebrews to Ephesians, it weaves together what God has been forming beneath the surface—a foundation of faith, obedience, and purpose.

With a tone that is equal parts reflective and challenging, this message gives a wide-angle view of a year shaped by intentional steps, quiet obedience, and God’s unshakable Word. It’s not about remembering every series. It’s about recognizing how God has moved and responding in trust for what’s ahead.

If you've been part of Mission Church this year—or even if you're just joining in—this message connects the dots between where you’ve been and where God is taking you.
