When God's people choose to let the light of Christ be seen in them, darkness disappears. Just like in real life...when a light turns on, there is no longer darkness. The call of the Christian journey isn't IF we are called to shine our light for Christ, but rather discovering HOW we are called to shine our light.

Tonight's message explores the unchanging faithfulness of God, focusing on how His promises stand firm even in the midst of uncertainty. It emphasizes that faith is built on evidence, not blind trust, drawing from biblical stories like God's covenant with David to show how He consistently fulfills His promises. It encourages students to view God's faithfulness as an anchor in their chaotic, ever-changing lives, offering stability and assurance in both goof time and bad.

God gets angry, humans get angry. The difference is God's anger is not in sin but is righteous , unlike the common experience of anger in ourselves.

Listen in as we start of the 2024 school year with a new series on the attributes of God. This week we are starting off with God's Grace. 

Worship is part of our everyday lives in every season of life- the good and the bad. We are reminded that connecting with God is honesty. Being honest with God about where we are and experiencing that connection to God in worship in a new, deeper way.

We look for God in the big, loud, and exciting moments. While He can be found there, Scripture frequently tells a different story. Scripture tells that Jesus is working on us and in us during the ordinary moments of life. The next time you're seeking the Lord to work in your life, look around the ordinary things...because He probably already is.

When we are loving others, we are showing them that we care. It can be easy to fall into the thought process that we are unloved and unwanted, that's what the enemy wants us to think. But Jesus Died on the cross for us, he committed the ultimate sacrifice to show us HOW MUCH he loves us. If we didn't "matter" He wouldn't have died for our sins. When we take time to remember what Jesus did for us, we are able to overcome those false thoughts that we aren't enough. Loving others helps them do the same.
