Change doesn't always leave us with feelings of hope, especially when it's a change we weren't prepared for. Today we look at a few areas in life that can bring about good change and are part of God's way to give us hope as we navigate life. You may be running low on hope lately and our prayer is that you would be encouraged during this time!

Realizing and understanding that God has a plan for our lives and that it is in fact good can be one of the most reassuring things we can experience in our lives. We may need to look closer for what that plan may be but it is there! This morning we look at some areas that we can work on to open ourselves up to God's hope and to encourage others to receive the same gift!

As Christians, our hope comes from Jesus and the understanding of what His death and resurrection mean for us! With that knowledge comes a burden - a burden that we can joyfully fulfill especially in days filled with fear and uncertainty like today. Simply put, Jesus is our hope but the church is called to extend that hope to those who have yet to experience the love and joy that God has for them! We are to be hope bringers to our world!

Join us as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ this Easter Sunday! The church building may be empty this morning but so is the tomb! In our world today we are desperately in need of hope - it just so happens that hope has a name and His name is Jesus!

Feel free to share this with a friend to invite them to join you in church online this morning. Happy Easter!

There aren't any earthly kings that experienced the path to kingship that Jesus did. He was proclaimed a King hundreds of years before His birth and then He was born a King! He was celebrated as King and then He was convicted for being a King! The people who had Jesus crucified did so in calling Him the "King of the Jews". His kingship was true, even though it didn't look like people imagined it would. Earthly kings don't always bring hope, but Jesus did. Jesus gave hope a name.

In a time where it's tempting to only look out for ourselves and what we have, we are in need more than ever of a church that looks beyond its doors for opportunities to be generous. In order to be an outward focused church we have to make a choice to be magnanimous - intentionally generous to those less "powerful" than ourselves. Pastor Kevin shares some important things that we must figure out about generosity in order to truly be an outward focused church!

As we continue to focus on how we can continue to be an Outward church, this morning we look at our need for multiplication. To see a multiplication of what God is doing in our own lives, it will take us out of our comfort zone and challenge our faith but it will be worth it! When we multiply, it gives us an increased chance to change our world!

Ministry at its heart means to serve. As Christ followers we are called to serve others as Jesus did. It doesn't mean it will always be easy or appreciated but if we are to think Outward, beyond the doors of the church, we have to think about those who are not yet here. Our prayer is that we are all challenged to take a step and serve those around us with the purpose of showing them the love of Jesus!

As we look outward, beyond the walls of the church, it's important for us to experience some personal growth and maturing. This morning, Pastor Kevin looks at some of the incredible benefits of growing alongside other Christ followers. We believe that Connect Groups and things like them are important keys to our our spiritual growth!

As we conclude our February series, we look at the importance of growth in our lives as we strive to make an impact in our families, place of work and our world. Without growth, our sphere of influence and our potential for impact is severely deterred. The idea of growth can be scary but it is in fact a prerequisite for the impact we hope to have in our lives!
