We are living letters to be read by people as a 'recommendation' to what God can do. As we surrender our lives, our stories, to Jesus, we are then marked by the Holy Spirit.

You know you are anchored when you feel the tension. And the tension tells you what you are tethered to. It is a place of discovery and testing. Do not despise the tension. Paul tells us embracing the pressure is where we develop character, which produces hope!

We often want things to happen suddenly so we do something suddenly. But the reality is most 'all of the sudden' moments happen because something had been happening continually. Acts 2 we read about the sudden sound of the Holy Spirit but we find in Acts 1 that united prayer had been happening continually. Why should that matter to us? Take a listen and find out!

"When people see Jesus, they see the Father. When they see us, they should see Jesus." Brandon Cole

We loved hearing from some father’s in our community and celebrating all the dad’s in the building. Ultimately, we were all challenged and encouraged in living in a way that people see Jesus in us.

We close out our series on hope by circling back to where we started and addressing three primary ways we can restore hope in our lives. And here's a hint: it's all about Jesus!

Have you ever tried to hold on to hope alone? What this hope we have is meant for us to hold together, not just you?

Hope is held together. With community. How can we live together in a way that creates and holds on to hope?

Your hope is reserved in heaven.. and when you know you have a reservation, you have a different way of reacting to your current circumstance.

Far too many of us look to the stillness of the waves for our hope rather than the security of the anchor that lies below them. This hope is meant to secure us through all seasons and in all storms. What is THIS hope that we have and how is it different than THAT hope the world tells us about?

Can you believe the Apostle Paul said he came "timid and trembling"? What did he mean? How can it encourage you and I? Share your story of Jesus in spite of fear or nervousness.

Plus, we have a special message from Ps Phil Pringle and two amazing stories from Zach and Stephanie. Power packed day!
