ASCENSION. We celebrate Christmas. We celebrate Easter. But there's more. Ascension! God's work continues in our world today. Jesus is currently reigning from on high and still actively involved in our lives in ways that we're often absent-mindful of. What does Jesus' ascension mean for our world today and tomorrow? How can a heavenly perspective give us earthly power for significant daily living? What mindsets does God want to destroy in order for us to discover the fullness of His power? Join us for a life-changing discussion of Acts 1:6-11.

POWER. There's a power that this world offers and there's a power that God offers. The world's power is characterized by strength that is usually used for personal or political gain, oftentimes at the expense of another. God's offers a power to us that benefits us in the most important areas of our existence and it comes to us at His expense. It is freely given and deeply experienced. How does God's power come to us? How do we tap into His power in our daily lives? How is His power expressed in and through us? Join us for this spiritually rich discussion as we look at Acts 1:4-8.

VISION. It's a new year! What will you live for? While you may have plans for your life, God has bigger and better plans for you this year...and beyond! What does He have in store for you? What purposes has He created you for? How can this year be a year of contentment and fulfillment? Join us for a discussion of keeping the important things in perspective. We'll be diving into Acts 1:1-3

Join Pastor Scott in this great Q&A Session as we wrap up the Planted Series and 2021. 

SELF-CONTROL. Each of us has confused laziness with grace. We have shirked responsibility over our hearts and embraced a journey toward the urgent over the important, the temporal over the eternal. Perhaps the one area in our lives that leads to more maturity and spiritual health is the discipline of exercising self-control. What is self-control? How is self-control developed and applied in our lives? What are the obstacles that prevent us from being a self-controlled people? Join us for this life-changing dialogue as we consider 1 Cor. 9:24-27

GENTLENESS. We know when we've encountered gentle people. We feel the grace and kindness in their connection with us and it makes us long for more people like that. Gentleness is something we look for and long for in our relationships with one another, because it's gentleness that helps smooth out the rough edges in our relationships with one another. No matter the difficulties, gentleness helps pave the way to health and wholeness. What is gentleness? Where does gentleness come from? How is gentleness produced in our lives? What are the obstacles that stand in the way of experiencing gentleness with one another? Join us for this important discussion tomorrow as we dive into John 8:1-11.

GOODNESS. What's "good" seems too relativised today. Every one of us has a different standard for good when it comes to music, movies, food, etc. that we like or enjoy. For more important categories, is there a more objective standard for good? What is good? Who is good? By what do we measure goodness and could we be missing substantial aspects of goodness that could make our existence more meaningful? Have we been short-sighted and can we recapture a sense of our purpose in pursuing good? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion of this topic tomorrow as we consider Ephesians 2:8-10

KINDNESS. It's the buzzword today. We recognize it's in short-supply. We feel the lack of it in our communities. We know humanity is suffering due to it's absence, even it's absence in our own practices. Where did it go? Could it be rediscovered? Is it more than a cool slogan we purchase on a shirt at a retail store? Can it be more than a once-a-year designated day of celebration? Where is it born and how can it be more impactfully lived out? Join us as we dive into Ephesians 5:29-32

PATIENCE. Do you tend to have a short-fuse or a long-fuse when it comes to your relationship to life, people, situations? If we're honest, most of us can get irritable and impatient too quickly. And, most of the time, we get upset over petty and trivial things. Ancient wisdom tells us the first necessity of learning is patience. Are you recognizing daily lessons in growing in patience? How can we cultivate patience in our lives? How do we identify impatience and what practices can we embrace to become more long-suffering in life? Join us for this important discussion tomorrow as we dive into James 5:7-12

PEACE. There's a peace that the world gives, that doesn't go deep or last long. We've all experienced that kind of peace have been left wanting more. Then there's a peace that GOD gives that is wonderfully rich and goes beyond our wildest expectations. God's peace isn't disrupted by our circumstances or situations. How does God's peace come to us? How do we cultivate this peace into our lives on a regular basis? How do we know we're digging into God's perfect peace for our lives? Join us tomorrow for an in-depth examination of this topic as we look at Gal. 5:22-23 and Matt. 6:25-34
