At its simplest level the church is so pure. The Gospel of Jesus is so overwhelming that people want to serve others and want to give away their money. What would it look like if as a ministry we served and gave like the early church did? What would it look like if we eliminated the phrase "I have to" and replaced it with "I get to"? Let's find out!

We all know how important it is to keep secrets, but have you considered the importance of occasionally telling secrets? We live in a world where we are often encouraged to suppress who we truly are. It's risky to be vulnerable, but when the real you is met with acceptance, that's where we find true belonging.

Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world and that His Word is also a light. Why so much talk about light? Because light makes vision possible. God wants our campus to see! This talk emphasizes how we keep our light fresh and the need to recharge.

I think we all would agree that true friendship is our deepest longing and that it's worth working for. Daniel 1 shows us how this is an opportunity worth taking!
