When we give ourselves to the Lord first, we realize what a true privilege it is to be generous with our finances in giving to advance the kingdom.

This week we kicked off our Chasing the Bag series that focuses on stewardship and generosity. Week one was about our heart posture, and when our hearts are aligned with the heart of our Father, we will automatically care about what he cares about. The way we steward our finances is a direct reflection of our relationship with him, and how we handle our money is an outflow of what's in our hearts.

"Humans were designed to be defined by a voice outside of themselves" Jerrell Jobe reminded us that the voices that we give access and attention to will have authority in our lives. Are we allowing the words of the Bible to lead us, or the words of this world?

During Vision Sunday, Pastor Brian shared where we have been and our hopes for the future as a church. We are believing for big things and continuing to make the name of Jesus famous in the upcoming year.

"Spiritual maturity occurs when every Christian in a church uses his or her gifts to build up others within the church." In the final teaching of our Grow Up series, Pastor Brian emphasizes the importance that serving in the church has in truly becoming spiritually mature.

In week three of the Grow Up series, Pastor Jordan reminds us that what may look foolish to the world may be faithfulness to God, and as we grow in our spiritual maturity we will realize that servanthood is actually success in the kingdom of God.
