This Tuesday, Pastor Derek gave a message over expectantly waiting. For many college students, their season of life looks like waiting to step into their careers and start the next chapter, but no matter what season you're in the Lord is calling us to be patient and expectantly wait for his guidance.

This Tuesday, Pastor Katie preached a powerful message on surrendering our lives to God. Through the story of Jesus's earthly father and Katie's personal experiences in this matter, everyone in the room left knowing we can choose to surrender and let God lead.

This Tuesday, Pastor KC shared her heart for how we need to be people who cast our worries on the Lord. God is bigger than the things we stress about and is honored when we trust him enough to place our worries at his feet. Matthew 6 tells us not to worry about what we will eat, drink, or wear, for our heavenly Father knows what we need and will provide as we seek his kingdom and righteousness.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek kicked off our final sermon series of 2021, called ‘tis the season! We took a deep dive into Jesus’s true nature of being our meek and lowly savior. If the God of the universe humbled himself to be born a human in a stinky manger, then we can become people who are gentle and lowly at heart, humbling ourself and letting God do the exalting.

This Tuesday, we had a very special guest at Chi Alpha! The former lead pastor, Daniel Quinby, who is now the lead pastor at Sent Church, taught us about the gifts of the spirit. He explains why spiritual gifts are lacking in the western church, what the apostle Paul says about them, and what they're intended for.

This week at UNI's Chi Alpha, Pastor Derek shed some light on the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Acts 1:4-8 tells us to "wait for the gift my Father promised", which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and that we will "receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on us".

This week, we talked about the third person in the trinity. Victor Martinez, one of our staff members, walked us through who the Holy Spirit is and how he empowers us to look more like Jesus.

This Tuesday, Pastor Derek walked us through what it means to find, feed, and fight for the lost lambs on our campus. This truism is the definition of real responsibility at chi alpha, and is part of our foundational pillars.

On Tuesday, Pastor Jon taught what real community looks like. Community is essential in everyone's life. For a Christian, it's attained through creating fellowship and having intimate relationships by being vulnerable with each other.

This week, Pastor Derek took us through the story of Mary and Martha. We learned more about what intimacy is, why we should pursue it, and what it looks like to have an intimate relationship with God through having real devotion with king Jesus.
