What leads to a lasting faith that actually makes a difference to the world around me? If you're a Christian or exploring faith, you've probably asked that question before. And the Bible tells us that we can know God in a way that goes beyond just knowing about him, when we experience the love of God made visible in the person of Jesus!

Because the gospel can't just truth to know, it’s a love to be experienced!

One of the simplest truths that can change everything in your life is that Jesus loves you. But so often that stops at knowing the fact, but in this passage Paul prays that it would move to experience that fills us to the fullness of God.

Not everyone who met Jesus left changed ... that might not be what you expect at first, but it's true. We can encounter Jesus, get to church, do "God stuff" but it is the posture of our heart that either rejects Jesus or opens us to encounter Jesus in a life changing way.

Jump in as we explore what a heart posture of "faith" really means and why it's the opposite of a heart that is biased, self-righteous, or cynical...

Are you afraid of the dark? Light and dark are core to the human experience. And Jesus shows up saying, "I am the light of the world." What does he mean, and does that have anything to do with my life?

When we encounter Jesus as the Light of the World we begin to move from Hiding to Revealing, from Lost to Followers, and from Fear to Courage.

Let's explore John 8:12 together!
