The Holy Spirit of God lives inside of you by faith in Jesus Christ. The Spirit lives in you to confirm God's love and lead you towards God's plans.

Jesus called his disciples to be his witnesses on earth after his ascension. They had seen and heard so many things he had done, and he charged them with telling others. The same instruction and invitation applies to each of us. Be His witness. It just means: tell people what you personally have seen God do. Of course, the prerequisite is that you actually see him do something! The Holy Spirit is present and active in our lives today, changing the world by the power of God. So invite him into your life, pay attention to what he's doing and don't keep it to yourself.

God wants to fill your life. He wants to fill your life with joy, peace, power, and love. He sent Jesus to set you free from being filled with things that take away your joy in life, in order to send His Spirit to fill your life with Jesus’ fullness of joy. You have a role in the Spirit filling your life. Seek God for the fullness of life.

Jesus has risen from the dead and appeared to His followers, but some continued to doubt. This Easter, you are invited to bring your doubts and your worship to the resurrected Savior, Jesus Christ.

God has a plan and path for you. His love will lead you to love others. As we leave the retreat, we look at the next steps God is asking you to take to follow Him and live each day in God's love. Nana Adae shares her testimony in this message, one story of faithfully saying "yes" to God whenever He asks. Take the next step today to follow God's plan and path for your life.

Where do we see encounters with Jesus in the Bible and how do we enter those spaces in our lives? Let's look at the places where Jesus wants to meet us.

Being in God's presence is a fundamental building block of the life of a follower of Jesus. We'll hear about why we need His presence, what His presence is like, and how to cultivate a regular habit of getting into His presence.

John says “we proclaim to you what we have seen and heard about this Life-Giver, so that we may share and enjoy this life together.” With his words, he’s drawing a circle with three components: you, Christ, & community. We talk about each component to prepare us for an encounter with Jesus.

“Lead us back” requires/ assumes that we will actually follow someone but since the beginning of time we have bucked authority and refused leadership.

This exploration of authority studies the source, scope and stewardship of God's authority through Jesus Christ, which he then gave to us.

As we boldly step into our authority with faith and humility, we join the Kingdom work of redeeming what has been stolen from us.

The first question God asked when humans sinned was "Where are you?" God's gracious approach to us in our sin leads us to transformation. How would you answer God's question if He asked you today?
