In this week's sermon Craig talks about a third benefit of humility which is that humility builds unity; unity is so important, because Christianity is a team sport. We don’t always think of it that way. We often think that Christianity is about our own relationship with God and about our individual salvation, but it’s also a team sport with a clear goal: to see God’s influence extended throughout the world. That’s not something one person can do...it takes a team.

What if humility is the key to greater influence? God wants us to act out our salvation; showing that we are in awe of God. He is transforming us from the inside out so that we want to accomplish God’s good purpose. When we put God's agenda before our own, we begin to shine for him. Follow along this week and learn more about finding contentment in humility, including concrete steps you can take.

In today's world, having humility isn't necessarily seen as a personality trait of power, but being impressive and being blessed are not the same thing. Join Reza Zadeh as he discusses humility as having a subdued strength in recognition of a higher authority.

Can you imagine suffering as a gift from God? How we think about suffering determines what it can accomplish in our life. If we are on mission for Christ, our circumstances don't need to define our contentment even when in the midst of the pain that comes from suffering.

What does it look like when we find ourself in an assignment we never wanted, but are able to experience the blessings we never imagined we'd receive from it? When life is hard, you need the courage to move through it. Through prayer and Jesus' provision there will be deliverance coming. God can be trusted to deliver.

Many of us are in circumstances that aren't exactly ideal, but what if instead of focusing simply on getting out of them, we changed our attitudes into one leveraging those experiences? Let's look at opening ourselves up to God using our life to expand his impact in our immediate communities; consider changing your perspective to realign your mission.

We begin a new series looking at Paul’s surprising message to the Philippians. He describes a new vision for our lives where we’re not slaves to our circumstances. Instead he invites us to discover the freedom of living in God’s boundless provision.

Dr. Mark Young visits this week to discuss God's grace, given to us unexpectedly and undeservedly, as the core issue in our relationship with him.

We look at our final pothole in the series: bitterness. A sneaky element, bitterness wears disguises so we don't recognize it for what it is and may not even feel how it is weighing on us. Lets review some life applications to free ourselves from this damaging hindrance.

Does your life experience consist of fear as a pothole, or fear as the everyday status? Our imagination populates the future with danger, rather than hope which sees anticipation instead. We can't get rid of fear, but we can tame it so we can move forward. Join us as we tackle the idea of fear and how to manage it.
