In Week 3 of of our Above Anxiety series we answered the question “Where Does Our Help Come From When Anxiety Strikes?” Guest speaker Will McDowell brought us an amazing message from Psalm 121. This beautiful Psalm teaches us 4 incredible Characteristics of God and teaches us that our help comes from the Lord. We hope you enjoy the lesson. You are loved!

In Week 2 of of our Above Anxiety series we answered the question “What Does God Want Me to Do With My Anxiety?” 1 Peter 5:7 tells us that God wants us to “Cast our cares upon Him because He cares for us”. We unpacked Philippians 4:6-13 and learned Paul’s Pathway to Peace found in those amazing 8 verses. We hope you enjoy the lesson. You are loved my friends!

Week 1 - Dealing With Anxiety & Knowing Your Value

In Matthew Chapter 10 Jesus speaks these powerful words: “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31 ESV) Since the fall, Worry, Anxiety & Depression are mental health challenges humans struggle with. Anxiety manifests itself in a number of ways: feeling distressed, uneasy, worried, upset, fearful, apprehensive, agitated, fretful, restless, nervous, and fidgety, to name just a few. We know teens are battling Anxiety, Worry & Depression at an alarming rate and God wants to help. In this 4-week series called “Above Anxiety” we will unpack this huge topic and see that just like God takes care of the sparrows…He will always take good care of us. 

Hey friends! On March 8th we had our Thrive Young Adult Director Darren Hudson with us and he taught us a powerful message entitled “What Does God Call You?”. We opened up the book of Numbers and Joshua and the amazing story of Caleb and how God was faithful to Caleb and how in turn Caleb was faithful to his God. We hope you enjoy the message!

On March 1st we jumped back into our MIRACLES from the Gospel of Mark series and we looked at the amazing story of Jesus and Blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10: 35-52. Our bottom line was: Until you see yourself correctly you will not see Jesus rightly; Until you see Jesus rightly you will not follow him wholeheartedly; See your SIN, see your SAVIOR, cry out for MERCY, Follow JESUS!

In Week 4 of our Defining The Relationship Series we hosted an interactive & informative Panel Discussion with two young married couples from OBC. We hope you enjoy this honest & open conversation about dating & relationships and how the Gospel must be the lens by which we always view love.

In Week 3 of our Defining The Relationship series our BIG IDEA was “Stop comparing your story to those in movies, on television or social media. Let God write your love story. Hand Him the pen.” Seek dating & relationship wisdom from God..invite Him in..He loves you!

In Week 2 we learned how God has made us for relationships, but relationships can get messy. Big Idea: Unless I'm wholeheartedly pursuing a relationship with Christ, all other relationships will be a hopeless attempt to fill that void. 

In Week 1 of our new series “Defining The Relationship: A Series on Love & Dating” we looked at the AGAPE Love of God and that when it comes to relationships we need to stop looking  for “the one” and start becoming “the one”.

The feeding of the five thousand was a domino effect triggered by the donation of a young boy. The miracle of multiplication started with participation. Jesus could have easily made it rain chicken nuggets and honey mustard, but He didn’t do that. Instead, He invited a young kid and twelve followers to play a part in His miracle. God doesn’t just want you to witness His purpose; He invites you to take part in it. God doesn’t just want you to see miracles; He wants you to participate in them.
