CALLING: It’s not just what we’re good at, or what we choose to do.

Calling is a sacred word that speaks to our innermost beings. We need to be reminded that calling isn’t as much about “what” as it is “who.”

In order to discover God’s true calling on our lives, we need to focus less on what we’re doing and more on what we’re becoming: fully devoted followers of Christ...and claiming it!

What do you want to do with your life? It’s a question that we are asked from the time we are kids. In this current season God is calling us to a new and deeper understanding of what are lives should be about.

This week we have a conversation with Alex Fehr who is serving in ministry with Campus Outreach on the campus of The Ohio State University.

You can discover a whole lot to smile about if you know where to look. And we can help you find it! Don’t let life get you down. Stay joyful. Stay hopeful. And Stay Positive! Cynicism and negativity may be the easy choice, but they’re not the best choice.

If you seek what’s good, you’ll see what’s good. Let’s embrace the way we’re created to think and Stay Positive. We’re wrapping up this series with a look at what happens when we see through God’s eyes: Abundance and leave scarcity behind.

Sometimes we take up complaining as a way of dealing with our circumstances.  Those negative words and thinking can affect so much of our lives.  This week we'll look at some encouragement from the Apostle Paul and also hear a story from Corrie Ten Boom about how a pesky insect like the flea can be used in amazing ways to help us find joy...to Stay Positive.

Let's talk this week about the Better Normal.  

For many life right now seems like we are all walking through a long deep valley. Much uncertain in direction and purpose. In this message we'll look at how we can find God in our valleys by understanding what we know about valleys, what kind there are and then what we need to remember to triumph over them.

We'll also hear from Adam McLane from San Diego on how he's partnering with local pastors and churches in Baja, Mexico to bring hope and encouragement in these difficult times.

Today people are struggling with fear and uncertainty in ways they may never have before. The power and genius of The Great Commandment is that it’s so simple and yet extremely powerful when acted on.

The most effective thing that we can do collectively to impact our city is to actually live out Jesus’ command to love our neighbors. God is at work in the midst of this pandemic and He is inviting us to join Him in practical and tangible ways right in our neighborhood.

Love God – Love Others – Love Where We Live – No Limits!

Grateful for our friend Brady Groves from the Richland County Foundation to talk about Richland Gives Global Day of Giving - May 5.
