The desire for deep, meaningful connection is a longing we ALL have 🫶

In fact, it’s not just a longing, it’s the way God designed us! Think about it - have you ever felt a void when a relational connection is missing or not on the best terms? 

We are meant to be together so that we can grow together. We are meant to have real, authentic friendships and relationships.

If you are seeing this, you are on your probably on your phone! 📱

SO, do you LOVE your phone? Hate your phone?  LOVE & HATE it?

With your phone, you can connect with friends at almost any time. But, your phone could also distract you from connecting with those right in front of you!

So, in some instances, you may be accessible, but does it keep you from being available to others? 

So, as you go throughout your week, think about this:

How can you be not only ACCESSIBLE… but also AVAILABLE to those you care about?

Sometimes, we don't see the whole picture 🏞️

So here’s something to consider...💭

A similar thing is true when it comes to Scripture. When we read the Bible, what we see is somewhat limited by our viewpoints and experiences. On our own, we likely aren’t getting the whole picture. And this is why we were meant to explore the kingdom together! 

In order to see all that God has for us in His word, we need to hear from others. We can learn a lot from someone else’s perspective. 

This is the third and final week of our series Kingdom Perspectives! Let us know your thoughts below!

How can we become more like JESUS?

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” - John 15:1-2

The good news is that we ALREADY have the fruit, and when we REMAIN in Jesus, change is possible!

He is the VINE🌿, and we are the BRANCHES 🙌

Jesus is the answer to your need for hope. He is the resurrection and the life!

Have you ever struggled when you felt like Jesus didn’t show up through the hard stuff? These feelings are normal! As hard as it is to accept. Sometimes there’s just more going on than we can fully comprehend.  

After you watch the talk for week 3 of our series I AM let us know your thoughts below!

He is the Good Shepherd and the Gate! 🐑

It doesn’t matter how many times you fall. It doesn’t matter how often you return right to the same old spot you’ve gotten stuck in before. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He will lovingly and carefully pull you out.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." 
John 10:11

He is Good, and he is always with you! After you watch the talk, let us know your thoughts below!

Jesus is our deepest hunger! He is the BREAD of life 🍞

Our new series “I AM” is focused on the “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John, which is the fourth book in the New Testament written by one of Jesus’ closest friends and followers.

Our purpose for this series is to better understand Jesus’ IDENTITY and who he is. Through Jesus, we CAN experience life to the full.

What is your shadow side? 👤

We were all made unique and in the image of God! That’s why generosity is in our DNA 😌

But, there is a shadow side that that we may not be aware of.

A shadow side is the aspect of your personality you often can’t see or perhaps don’t want to acknowledge. It’s usually the reverse of one of your strengths.

Together, let’s discover our shadow sides and learn to grow beyond them 💙
