Youth Intern Emmanuel Ayele spoke about the life of Josiah in 2 Chronicles 34. In a time of spiritual instability, Josiah chose to seek God personally, allowing God to reshape his heart and use his life to bring change to an entire nation.

Associate Pastor Valerie Salkeld spoke about how each day is rich with symbolism and displays how Jesus redeemed the world. In Psalm 22, we noticed themes of darkness to light, forsaken to delivered, and death to life. Hosanna! Save now.

The prophet Joel calls us to "rend our hearts" (Joel 2:12-13 NIV).  Normally this term applies to cloth that has been torn.  Joel calling us to rend our hearts sounds violent, and like something that could be painful.  But we should examine our hearts - as we make our way towards the cross of Good Friday.  Joel's call is a call to repentance and to remember Whose we are, and what we're actually supposed to be up to.  

Pastor Jeff Edwards spoke about how to seek God. How do we do it?  We looked into ancient history to get some practical advice from good king Jehoshaphat. Jeff used 2 Chronicles 17:1-9 as his scripture.

Pastor Kara Wilfley spoke about HOME. When you’re searching for a place that feels like home, what do you look for? What makes you feel comfortable and loved? Did you know that, in seeking home, we are actually seeking God? Pastor Kara shared from the John 1:14-18.  We also celebrated Communion.  Have your elements ready so that you can participate with us.

Pastor Jeff Edwards spoke about seeking God to the very end. Have you ever enjoyed a book or movie but been disappointed by the ending? Have you known any Christians whose faith inspired you, but disappointed you toward the end of their life? Asa, the third king of Judah, shows us how “Seek God” is a command we must follow to the very end. No matter your circumstances, let’s look at how we can end well. Jeff used 2 Chronicles 16:7-14 as his scripture reference.

Pastor Jeff Edwards spoke about finding God. If someone says, “God told me this”, what does that mean?  Is it literal, or just a turn of phrase?  Is it their own thoughts spoken in churchy language? Do they really find direction from God?  If I want God’s direction, how does that work anyway?  David gave Solomon a cheat sheet on how to find God in any situation.

Youth Intern Emmanuel Ayele spoke about Solomon being given the opportunity to ask God for anything. He chose wisdom so he would be able to lead God’s people well. This message explores what it looks like to seek God first in a world full of competing priorities and invites us to reflect on what truly has our hearts. Emmanuel used 2 Chronicles 1:1–13 as his scripture.

Associate Pastor Valerie Salkeld spoke about what it means to seek God. "Now seek the LORD your God with all your heart and soul...the Temple built to honour the LORD's Name." (1 Chron 22:19). How do we do this? She wove together some of the common threads between Chronicles' encouragement and what Jesus invites us to do.
