God is not afraid of our running; His light will chase darkness down everyday. The battle between faith and fear is constant in the world around us. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached on God's eternal purpose in our lives and how faith propels us confidently forward as we rely on the unseen instead of the seen. Fear produces anxiety, but faith produces peace.

We are all on a journey, and God has a place and a spiritual home for each of us. He wants us to live with an eternal perspective to break free from a temporal mindset. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey launched our new series MOTEL sharing on checking out of the temporal to build the eternal. God wants us to lift our eyes to see in a new perspective — what is impossible with man is possible with God.

The Church is God's people. It's His place to save the whole world, to reveal that He is real. This Sunday as we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary as a church, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached a message on Jesus being the center of our lives and elevating our view of the church as we embark on this next year together. We are a part of the greatest move of God there has ever been.

Our souls are eternal and can only be satisfied by an eternal God. Our souls thirst just as we thirst physically when we are dehydrated. Are we spiritually dehydrated? We need Jesus, we need living water—this is what our soul craves and desires. This Sunday Pastor Josh Kelsey encouraged us to recognize our thirst. God does not judge us but has come to pour out living water upon our thirsty souls.

Our purpose is tied to God's grace and discovered in our surrender. We reveal the glory of God by enjoying Him above everything else. When we see God we see who we are and see the purpose He has for our lives. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached in our DRIVE series on the moment of surrender being the moment we find our purpose.

Whenever God gives purpose, it never leaves heaven without grace. At #ALLIN Team Night, Pastor Josh Kelsey shared a message on living the unbalanced, grace-filled, kingdom life as followers of Christ. Serving and building God's House is the purpose of God for every believer. God wants us to lean fully on Him and go all in with our unqualified faith.

Our purpose is built on the trust of Jesus. God wants to rebuild the engine in our hearts to drive us to His purpose for our lives. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey kicked off our new series, DRIVE with an encouraging message on our purpose in Christ. If Jesus is driving us, we will fulfill the purpose He has for our lives.

Jesus has given us an eternal identity. We are preservers of grace—preserving everything that looks like Jesus. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey preached the final message of our HUMAN series on what it means to be the salt of the earth. We are now the constant reminders, preservers and purifiers of His grace. As salt, we are the living examples and reminders that God's covenant of grace is active and real.

Where is your treasure? We're called to live not burdened by the things of this world, but with our eyes lifted by faith to see there's more to live for. In Christ, we've been given eternal riches beyond compare to the temporal riches of this world. This Sunday, Pastor Josh Kelsey encouraged us from the parable of the Rich Fool. God is generous toward us, and as His followers, we're called to be generous toward others.

The Beatitudes are portals to a new way of thinking. They are not platitudes, but paradoxes. This Sunday, special guest Pastor Brian Zahnd shared in our Human series on the Beatitudes. They offer blessings to those the world would deem 'unblessable.' The Beatitudes are the politics of Jesus in the government of God. If we can become a people formed by the Beatitudes then we will receive comfort and mercy.
