Thankfulness is bed rock to our culture and we as people desire to be more thankful, yet many of us have 𝗜𝗙’𝘀 & 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡’𝗦 in life which prevent this. But is t𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 a 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 actually 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄.

Forgiveness for us all brings a story to mind… stories of rejection, abuse, cheated on, lied to, failed on… We know the words of Jesus to forgive, but in our hearts we ask the same question as Peter, “How many times". You wouldn't understand my pain Jesus... How can I find beauty in forgiveness?

Matt 7:24-27 - Have you ever stopped to think, “𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗼𝗻?” We are creatures who love to build structures. We structure our days, our homes with purpose for success and pleasure. But what happens when the storms come? What foundations do you find? How can we build to last?

RIVERS IN THE DESERT – ISAIAH 43:16-21 This well-known passage is a promise of living water to flow in dry, baron hearts and systems of the world! But have you ever thought what causes these deserts in the first place?  To know this brings more purpose for a need of a river.

Guest speaker Ed Traut came spoke on how to cultivate and maintain our desires for Jesus 

Have you ever had seasons where you asked God to move and there is silence. Or a request to feel His presence again and you feel nothing… It’s like God is a blank screen… Can I tell you something… You are not alone.... The silence could be a vital and beautiful process of a deeper relationship with God, which we must all go through.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 with dreams, ambitions, yet we believe beauty is only found in the end. But like a caterpillar in transformation the crushing and reforming in the chrysalis produces the unique and beautiful imprints of the butterfly. The Process is the beauty. Pastor Jonny starts our new series as we journey together in what it means to find beauty in the process. 

It’s so important for us as followers of Jesus to continue to ask the question: What transformation am I truly experiencing in my life? Joe brings an important message and resource to help guide us through reflection that brings transformation. Go to http://resetsessions.com for more information

What does it mean for us to be Point View Church? Transforming people. 2 Cor 3:18 we are transformed by the Spirit into Gods image, step by step. But we have a knowing, doing gap... We know what we should do, yet it rarely materializes. Your loves/desires are the bridge to move from knowing to doing... so how do we order our loves to be a bridge to the transformation we long to see?

There is always something you can’t see influencing what you can see. Paul in his final section of the letter to the Ephesians calls them to stand against not people, but the dark powers of this world with Spiritual warfare. Paul lays out what we are fighting and how we fight it.
