Andrea challenges us to think outside of the box and seek God personally, and for OVV as a family; asking how we can partner with what God is already doing, to reach out to our local area.

For Pentecost Sunday, we look at the story in the book of Acts and unpack the different responses in the crowd when the Holy Spirit first fell. How are we responding to Him, today ?

Read Acts chapter 2: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2&version=ESV

Continuing our series on the early church, we look at the amazing impact of women in the book of Acts as leaders, prophets, apostles, home church hosts ... the list goes on.

We believe women can teach men, don't "need to be quiet in church", and should follow the Spirit's gifting and calling on their life, regardless of what that is!

What were the marching orders given to the early church? Ahren teaches us how Jesus instructed and met with the Early Church after His resurrection, and leads us in a prayer asking that we would be empowered to continue the same mission today.

Have you ever had to make a tough decision? Felt unsure about where God was leading you? How do we receive guidance from God?

Ahren takes a look at how Paul made up his mind about a tough decision in Acts 20.

It's worth exploring what Jesus said about the end times, and the bigger picture of your life - whether you believe in Him or not.

Is there more to life than your 100 year existence? Does the bible just basically teach "be good and you'll go to heaven"? Is there hope if you feel like you don't measure up? Is there more to life than this? What about after death?

Jake explores the last chapter of the Bible, what it means about your life after death, and what Jesus' teachings have to do with all of that.

Matthew 14:13-21

Jesus had supernatural compassion when he was trying to get some time alone and rest - and even fed thousands of people with a small amount of food.

Ahren teaches us about the Holy Spirit's love filling our hearts when we've got nothing left, and what it means to act on this, having faith that God can multiply what (seemingly) little we have.

1 Peter 2:5

"you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ."

What does this mean about community and church?

Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Is this for real?

Ahren walks through some of the key points of evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. And yes, there is evidence. You can believe Jesus rose from the dead, rationally.

What would this mean about how we live our lives today?

Everyone has things in their life that rob them of peace. How do we enter in to God's reality of peace that "passes understanding"? The peace that had Jesus sleeping in the boat during a storm, while the apostles all freaked out!
