It doesn't take much for our worst behavior to appear these days. If things don't go the way we want or expect, we are quick to get upset! What's worse, this behavior has become normal in our society! What if we lived in a way that people saw something different in us, simply by how we react to life's surprises?

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you've drifted far from God? Our lives are surrounded by rhythm. Rhythm of the music we listen to, but also the rhythm and routines of our everyday lives. The question this week is, what song are you listening to?

It's amazing how we get so caught up in the noise around us, yet justify its existence like it is beneficial to our lives. I thought I had an above average handle on certain habits in life, but it took an eye exam to prove me wrong!

Our phones have become part of our everyday life. We measure social status by how many “friends”, “followers”, likes and shares we have. The problem many of us have in life today, is that we're listening in to the wrong notifications.

We are starving for stillness and silence in our culture. The truth is, the world is not going to slow down or get less noisy simply because you want it. You have to commit to taking time to pause.

There is no doubt, despite the challenges that have come our way, we are part of an unexplainable movement of God. We cannot settle, we can't be a play it safe church.

We're all given resources by God, some more than others. Regardless of what we are given, God expects us to be good managers of what we have, and make the greatest impact we can!

Are you prepared? The parable of the ten bridesmaids in Matthew 25 is a powerful warning to us today.

25 years is a milestone! Whether it's your Birthday, a Wedding Anniversary or the Anniversary of an organization, like a Church! 25 years can be an exciting time, but it can also signal something else. At 25 years old, insurance rates drop, simply because... you start taking less risks!

The last seven weeks, we have covered alot of ground! This week before we move forward, I want to pause and look back on this series and be reminded of who we are, and place in which we should be living.
