While on this earth, we are reminded of its brokenness. But our hope is not in creation; it is in the Creator. God is at work to renew this place and redeem His people. We are not destined for decay, we are awaiting glory.

God has adopted us as His children, which means we are led by His Spirit and are heirs of His glorious inheritance. There is no reason to fear, we are at home with God.

Apart from Christ, our sin condemns us. With Christ, there is no condemnation, but there is still conviction and calling. Just as God brought life out of death at Jesus' resurrection, He brings us into new life. EASTER SUNDAY

As God’s children we often act like the children of Israel who would walk away from the living God and choose to follow dead idols.  Our allegiance to God brings continual life.  Why trade that for a broken world?

To be truly different means to crave eternal things—the things that matter most—rather than simply feeding on a constant diet of immediate gratification and temporary happiness. For what do you hunger?

Jesus used hospitality to connect with people and to communicate truth and love. When the world tells us to fear people who seem different, Jesus shows us how to take a different posture.

What does it mean to be a non-anxious presence in your home, work and in the world? Is it even possible? Learn how the voice of chronic anxiety can be stilled by the truth of the gospel.

In a time of increasing hopelessness, where do you find hope? We cling to the enduring hope we have in Christ, and we actively share that hope with a world in need.

Cynicism and skepticism are woven into the fabric of our current culture. To be different means to let the joy of the Lord overflow in your life. We are wired to celebrate all the good things about God and what it means to belong to Him.

What if your purpose in life was rooted in service to others and to God rather than to self? To be different means to continually refocus your purpose on serving, not being served.

Involvement Sunday: We take time to enlist volunteers for specific areas of ministry and tasks.
