This week, Pastor Derek took us through Luke 14 where we are shown how important it is to invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. We learned that we can be blessed by inviting people to come alongside us who we wouldn't normally invite. Pastor Derek taught us that we need to welcome and love the outsider so that they can become an insider. We need to welcome, love, and serve the outsiders.

This week, Pastor Jon took us through James 5 where it tells us to confess our sins to one another and to pray for one another. Pastor Jon taught us the importance of having close friendships with people that you can be vulnerable with. We learned the difference between transparency and vulnerability and to be a good community member we need to be vulnerable, seek Jesus in prayer, and pray for people when we're with them.

This week, Pastor Derek took us through 1 Corinthians where we learn how we are all an important part of the body of God. Pastor Derek taught on the importance of Real Community and how each of us play a very important part in Chi Alpha, and especially in small groups. We learned that we all need community, and the community needs each of us.

This week, Pastor Derek took us through Luke 5 where we find the story of the fishermen who toiled all night and caught no fish. Pastor Derek taught on how we were each created on purpose and for a purpose. That purpose is to glorify His name and to become fishers of men. We learned that we must obey when it may not make sense to us but the Lord is calling us to do so.

This week, Pastor Derek took us through Luke 10 where we can find the story of Mary and Martha. Pastor Derek taught on what Real Devotion is and how we must try to be like Mary and abide with Jesus and not fall into the trap of being like Martha. We learned that if we want more, we must be with Jesus.

This week, Pastor Derek continued our Ready For More: More of Jesus series by taking us through a story in John 8 about the woman caught in adultery. Pastor Derek exhorted us to turn to Jesus because Jesus sets us free so we can pursue Him and as we do that chains will be broken off of our lives.

This week, we started off our series Ready For More: More of Jesus. Pastor Derek started off our year in Luke 15 with the story of the two sons. Pastor Derek dove into the idea of how following Jesus isn't about earning His love, but enjoying His grace.

Pastor Daniel gives his final message as the Director of Chi Alpha where he dives into Genesis 12 and the story of Abraham. Pastor Daniel shares his heart that we must live a life of faith and that we must lay it all on the line for Jesus as we contend for revival in the Cedar Valley. We are so grateful for Pastor Daniel's ministry to Chi Alpha and we are so excited to see him step into his new calling as the Lead Pastor of Sent Church coming in the Fall of 2020 to the Cedar Valley.

Pastor Derek explores the stories of the disciples and their following of Jesus as he casts vision for the next season of Chi Alpha. He jumps into Matthew the Tax Collector and how he had to leave his tax collecting booth and leave all else behind to follow Jesus. Pastor Derek casts the vision that we must leave our old nets behind and forsake all to follow Jesus, no matter the cost.
