What are you afraid of?  What has crept into your life and has you stuck and unable to move forward?  As we continue into 1 John chapter 2, let’s learn to move beyond fear, and take action in our faith.  What exciting adventure might God have for you, if you can take that courageous first step?

“I really only love God as much as the person I love the least.”  -Dorothy Day.  Ouch!  Could that really be true?  Let’s dig into 1 John 2 to find out.  

Many people have heard about Jesus.  Maybe you’ve seen Him at work in your own life or the lives of people you know and love.  Is that enough?  What does an active life of faith really look like, and what’s stopping you from living it out?Let’s go verse by verse through 1 John 1 and learn to be led by love in community together.  

In Luke 19:1-10, Zaccheus was looking for more than what the world offered, he was desperate for what Jesus offered, which is more fulfilling than anything else we can imagine. And Jesus didn't make Zaccheus come to him, Jesus went to Zaccheus. "The problem isn't that people stopped going to church, it's that the church stopped going to people."

What causes you to lose trust from someone?  Can it be earned back?  How quickly should we forgive? Even heroes of the faith like Paul and Barnabas had major trust issues.  Let’s travel through the book of Acts to see God at work in the lives of ordinary, messed up, Spirit-filled followers of Jesus. 

Setting the Table: The table can be the greatest tool to share the Kingdom of God. Who can you invite to your table and into your life?

We were privileged to have friend and fellow pastor of our sister church, the Chelsea Church of the Nazarene, lead us through our final service of Spring Refresh. Do we know how to lament? Jeff led us through Psalm 80 and how to walk with Jesus through grief and loss.

Guest speaker and friend, Linda Bynum, shared with us about creating a community on mission with gospel impact.

Setting the Table - In 2 Samuel 9 King David showed extravagant grace by inviting the grandson of Saul to his table. This grace was not required of him, but he showed it anyway. Jesus Christ showed us extravagant grace when he took our place on the cross to spend eternity with us. Have you accepted the offer to sit at the King's table? Who are you inviting to your table?

Doug, our Celebrate Recovery director, shared this powerful word on trust and vulnerability, and it is in those spaces that freedom and healing can begin.
