Ever felt that tug in you spirit, nudging you to share your faith, but something holds you back? You're not alone. Let's talk about the practice of having spiritual conversations, a journey that promises to fortify your faith like never before.

God has gifted each one of us to contribute and make a difference. Our task is to roll up our sleeves and create rhythms to use our gifts.

Rhythms are all over our lives. They shape our days, weeks, and years. They are predictable and repeatable. Do we have rhythms in our spiritual lives? Let's talk about the rhythm of spending time with God.

Placing God's presence at the center of our existence has the power to align every facet of our lives. Regardless of what the future holds, your next step is to get closer to God.

Things don't always go according to plan. Life doesn't always go according to plan. But we can trust that no matter what our plans are or how they go, God's plans for us are good.

What am I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to become? What is my purpose? These are questions that often come up when we think about our futures. Our purpose is more than what we achieve, contribute, or produce. Our purpose is to know Jesus. Everything else flows from this.

How do we navigate the tension between our present and the future? What about the frustration experienced when we aren't seeing the progress we want? Passages from Ecclesiastes and Revelation will help us navigate the tension between present challenges and future hopes while encouraging spiritual growth and transformation through trusting God's eternal plan.

The Savior and King has come. That's good news for everyone, including you.

In Matthew's account of the Christmas Story there are 2 names given to the child to be born. Jesus meaning “the Lord is salvation” and Emmanuel meaning “God with us.” The simple transformative truth of Christmas is that God came to be with us to save us from our sin.

The angel Gabriel visits Mary and reveals that she has been chosen to be part of God's plan. While this must have overwhelmed her, she accepted the message with faith and obedience. Through this encounter we see God's unwavering commitment to His promises and His invitation to us to be part of his plans and purposes in the world.

Zachariah and Elizabeth prayers for a child were answered at the most unexpected time. The announcement of their son John's birth by the angel Gabriel not only changed their lives but also set the stage for the coming of the Messiah. Their story serves as a testament to the power of God's timing and His ways of fulfilling His plans.

Encouragement is an unlimited and free resource. Let's be generous with it, and bring about positive change in our homes, schools, and communities. Don't miss out on this insightful discussion on the power of encouragement and generosity!

Love God with everything and love your neighbor as yourself. This commandment, taught by Jesus Himself, encapsulates the essence of the scriptures and provides a roadmap for a life of love and generosity. When we live this out in community, we become “I got you” kind of people.

This week as we explore the concept of generosity we will draw inspiration from Paul's words to the Thessalonian and Corinthians churches. We explore how sharing our own experiences with the gospel becomes our personal act of generosity.

As followers of Jesus we should be known for our over the top generosity, not just as an act of giving but as a way of life. Generosity is not limited to monetary donations but expands to many other aspects of life. One of the things we can be generous with is our time.

Our unity in Christ and love for one another declare to the world who Jesus is.

We will experience suffering in this world. Yet, we can be courageous because Jesus has overcome and he hasn't left us alone.

Stay connected to Jesus, THEN there will be fruit in your life.

Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.

Seeing the whole story of scripture in context reveals who God is. There may still be passages that are still difficult, but we can know with confidence the character of God revealed in Jesus.

The Genesis creation account is about WHO not how, and about WHY not when.

The Bible teaches that men and women are equal. That was God's design in the beginning, it will be true in the end, and it is how the church is to live in the present.

The Bible does not support slavery. The Bible subverts slavery. 4 things to remember when reading the Bible. -The bible is a library, not a book. -The bible is written for us, but not to us. -Never read an isolated bible verse -The entire bible points to Jesus.

Jesus send us out boldly. To live for him boldly. To share our faith boldly.

Jesus sends us together to bring His healing into the brokenness of the world around us.

Jesus sends us on a mission. That mission includes bringing the healing of Jesus into the brokenness of the world around us. *Please excuse the audio issues including a continuous pad and a section that is cut out*

We are sent together to bring the good news, the gospel of the love of Jesus.

Follow Jesus in everything ... we live for Christ and not for ourselves.
