Where are you from? Rather who are you from? How does you past origin impact your present character? What has happened in your past that is still impacting you today? What has happened even before you were born that has influenced your life? None of us are neutral blank beings that write our own stories or choose every influence in our lives that impacts us. So it’s not a matter of IF you’re impacted by your family of origin, but HOW have you been, and what it means for your present identity and future hope. Listen as we look at John 8:30-39, where, from Jesus' teachings on Freedom and Family, and what it means to be a genuine disciple, we are "Reframing Your Father".

"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone" -John 8:7 This familiar and controversial text (John 7:53-8:11) about a women caught in adultery is significant in how we understand the Gospel of Grace, engage with sin, and/or walk in judgement of others. What is our role in condemnation of others and how should we evaluate our own heart motivation and guilt? How do we experience the grace and mercy of God? Even when we actually are guilty? What should it lead us to in response?

The storyline of the Bible in its simplest form can be understood through the four words: Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration.

Forgiveness embodies the very nature and character of God, therefore when a person has been truly saved, rescued, redeemed and restored through their forgiveness of sin and new life in Christ, they will have a desire and possess the ability to “like God” forgive others.

Is Jesus your provision, or is he a means to something else that you want?

Join us as we are "Reframing Power" from John 6:15-21, where we see Jesus miraculously meets us in the midst of our storms to take us where He calls us to go.

Most of us are living our lives in 'Want', with a lack of satisfaction in our circumstances. 'Want' is not bad, but need is deeper and necessary for survival. If we’re going to experience a life that is full, joyful, at the bare minimum it needs to be sustainable. Some of us see our desperation and need as too great to overcome while believing we are isolated with little hope of real change. Listen as we "Reframe Need" (John 6:1-15) seeing how Jesus is both willing and able to met us and move us from empty and desperate to full and satisfied in our place of greatest need.
