At the first service of the new year, Pastor Derek taught us how our busy lifestyle keeps us from being formed into the image of God. He explained how we need to slow down, and he emphasized how we need to prioritize being with God over doing things for God.

For the last service of the semester, Pastor Derek showed us what Godly surrender looks like through how Mary and Joseph surrendered their lives to God's will. He also gave us ten steps on how to have a successful and healthy break!

This Tuesday, Pastor Victor continued continued our "Right to Beauty" series with a message about going to Jesus for rest. We looked at how Jesus is gentle and lowly at heart, and how we can surrender our burdens to Him.

This week, Pastor Derek introduced our last sermon series of the semester "Right to Beauty". We learned how Jesus set the example of service by humbling himself before others and washing their feet. We know to serve others in this way, because Jesus served us first.

Last night, Pastor Derek Quinby continued our "Right to Live Missions" series by talking about how important it is for us to share Jesus with others. He highlighted how Jesus is worthy of our lives, and how His beauty should motivate us to share our faith with others.

Last night Pastor Jon Griffin kicked off our Right to Live Missions series that focuses on the importance of reaching others with the gospel. He emphasized that our relationship with Jesus should be personal but not private. Jesus' presence changes circumstance and perspective.

Our former Chi Alpha director Pastor Daniel Quinby and the pastor of Sent Church came to campus to continue our Right to More series. He shared what life can practically look like after the move of God that students experienced through fall retreat last weekend. He emphasized the importance of becoming a friend of the Holy Spirit and how to keep the fire burning after we experience Him.

This week Pastor Derek continued our series, Right to More by diving deeper into how the Holy Spirit can operate in our daily lives, emphasizing on the gift of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Encounters with the Holy Spirit take time, intentionality, and are meant to change us.

Last week Pastor Derek talked about the character of the Holy Spirit and how He works in our lives. We can have confidence knowing that when we follow Jesus we have access to His Holy Spirit that can help us bear fruit.

Pastor Derek wrapped up our series Right to Family with a message that encouraged vulnerability within community. Confession of sin within community creates an opportunity for freedom and accountability. If we hide our struggles, we may feel alone in our sin, but if we express them, we can help one another gain freedom.
