Between the energy and power of the Public context and the intimacy and vulnerability of the Transparent context sits the Personal Context. It bridges the gap and allows us to connect with one another without the pressures trying to be overly intimate while still feeling close enough to not feel lost in the crowd. This is the context of community and small groups. Today Dave talks about the role this has in our discipleship and why it is so important day by day in our walk with God.

There is nothing like an amazing worship service to get you inspired and excited to serve God! But that isn't the only way to connect. Today we explore the Transparent Context, smaller groups of 2-4, and how these types of relationships fit into our discipleship. Jesus had the crowds and the twelve, but he also had the 3. How do these groups function and how do we build these kinds of relationships?

Our walk with God goes beyond simply us and Jesus. There are many facets to our faith and many different levels of relationships that affect and are affected by it. Today, Matt talks about the role of large groups such as the church or our community at large around us. How is our faith impacted by large groups? What is the function of church in regards to our faith? How is it meant to help us grow in our walk with God?

This Sunday, Dave talks about spiritual formation and discipleship, both of which are critical for our spiritual longevity. But how do we actually go about growing in these areas and what actually is the goal?

In 1 Timothy 4:12, Paul charges Timothy, a young believer, to set an example for others in his speech, actions, love, faith and purity. This week, members of our Youth and Family ministry share what they've been learning as they've been walking on their faith journey.

This week we talk about liminal spaces and the tension of being stuck "in-between".

This week, Mark Thompson gives us a fresh perspective on the love God displays through the freedom he grants us. Going over the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Mark speaks on what true freedom and fatherly love looks like. The freedom that we have is the same freedom Jesus chose to use when he willingly and joyfully endured the cross.

This week, Dave Hooper takes us through the story of Jacob in the book of Genesis. We learn about how God transformed his deceitfulness into humility over time and the trials that he went through. Dave helps us realize our journey is not a trip to a mountain top. Our journey is to a place of trust, humility, and servitude, as was the life of Jesus Christ.

Diving into the culture of the time, Allan Aubert brings some added depth to the Parable of the Lost Son. With this newfound perspective, Allan challenges us to invite the outcasts and to celebrate when they turn to Jesus!

Godly habits are difficult to maintain, but over time there is a noticeable difference. This week, Micah Rosenstein delivers a message about the importance in recognizing the patterns in our life that subconsciously train us.
