Part three of the ‘Connection’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. If almost everybody agrees that we need authentic community, why is it so rare? Why is it that so often when we want to be connectors, we end up being pretenders? The answer of course is fear. It is natural to fear hurt and rejection. To be connected we must be vulnerable. To be vulnerable we risk being hurt. We all want to know that we are safe before we are vulnerable. The problem is we won’t know we are safe until we are vulnerable. Though it can hurt to be vulnerable, ultimately, we will hurt more if we’re not.

“This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.” (1 John 1:5-9 NIV)

Part two of the ‘Connection’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. We all have “superpowers.” A superpower within reach of all of us is the power of encouragement. One common trait of true heroes is that they make us feel special and powerful.

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV)

Part one of the ‘Connection’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. The first episode of this spiritual growth campaign will teach us how to have the relationships we really want by learning to powerfully connect with people out of the love we receive from our connection with God. We can start a “loveolution” by learning to connect with others the way Jesus connects with us.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Keep company with Him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us, but to give everything to us. Love like that!” (Ephesians 5:2 MSG)

Part four of the ‘Genius’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. We are studying how to unleash God’s genius in us and for us because we want to discover what is often undiscovered in us. God wants you to discover and unleash your genius not just to get more for yourself but so you can be more for God and others.

Then the angel of the Lord came and sat beneath the great tree at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash of the clan of Abiezer. Gideon son of Joash was threshing wheat at the bottom of the winepress to hide the grain from the Midianites. The angel of the Lord said, “Mighty hero, the Lord is with you!”

Part three of the ‘Genius’ series, delivered by special guest Pastor Jason Walker. We live in an entitled culture. The genius of the way the Kingdom of God grows is not in what we get, but in what we give. God often reveals Himself opposite to His surroundings. 

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given...” (Isaiah 9:6)

"By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night." (Exodus 13:21)

Part two of the ‘Genius’ series, delivered by Pastor Dale Walker. God formed you for a purpose, as in Jeremiah 1:5. God knew Jerimiah’s purpose and calling in his mother’s womb;

“Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you.”

God looks at us and sees greatness. His plans are good for you. We are His masterpiece and He rejoices over us. In this lesson we discover, are able to embrace, and begin to develop our calling and purpose.
