Alvin shares 3 key points: Issues, Intimacy, and Identity. When we are struggling through issues in our lives, we have to pursue an intimacy with God. It is only when we establish this intimacy, that God begins to reveal our true Identity! 

The level of how much we love the Lord our God is our single most greatest measure of success. Loving Him with all of our heart, mind and soul should be our first priority. To do this, we must understand that God loved us first. We aren't the ones initiating this love. To love God the way it is commanded, we must be filled in the Holy Spirit and so that it can lead us to pour out into others as well. 

From our brokenness, God will bring forth a sweet aroma. A fragrance that comes out of the broken, becomes a powerful display of God's ability to create something beautiful out of pain. Thanks be to God who always leaves us in triumph. Let us be the sweet aroma that leads others to life!

Johnny shared how God helped him through the tough times in His life. He found his joy by walking in faith and in The Spirit. God continues to fills  his life with happiness and peace. Each of us can take upon this challenge to follow Christ through our struggles, and always trust that no matter what, God is always there with us. 

We have to always know when God is speaking to us. Always be willing to listen and humble ourselves as the Lord teaches us each and every day. 

Even When we are in sin, He knows and sees us. We are created to be Image bearers. The sense of emptiness is what led us to Christ. When we experience God, we get to know Him. There is a difference between knowing God and being known by God.

We are no longer called servants, but friends of God. When God is calling you a friend, have a dialogue with Him as you would with a close friend!

Spiritual life comes with expectations of maturity and growth. Paul touches on this in 1 Cor 3:1-3. Just as we expect babies to grow up and become productive members of society, that same expectation is placed on Christians to grow from new believers into seasoned marathon runners in our walks with Christ.

Sister Angel teaches us about the seven preparations a bride makes from Ruth 3:1-5:

Pastor Lindsay shares a powerful message about how our aim should be to behold Christ at all times. We are what we behold, our life must reflect the love and glory of our Savior!
