This is our First Fruits Sunday and today we are talking about why we do this, where we see it in the Bible and what this means to us.

How do we navigate the hardest moments in life? When a loved one passes away, when a dream dies or when hope is lost, it can shake your faith in so many ways.

The Bible tells us that God tests us. Today we are looking at how these challenging moments and how God uses them.

In "White Hot Faith," Ben teaches that while faith always feels risky in the moment, that as we follow God, he will use us in powerful ways.

Who has hurt you the most? Emma wraps up our series on Romans 12 about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. This week it is all about forgiveness and freedom. Forgiveness is a choice and a process that involves letting go of bitterness. No matter how hurt you have been, it is possible to take a step towards forgiveness and build a community of believers who forgive easily and discover true unity.

On the last night of Jesus' life, he told us that he wanted us to love one another. He spoke of a community where people dies for each other. This radical, serving, authentic community is what so many of us long for. So what are the ingredients?

Why does life feel so chaotic? Continuing our series on what it meant to be a follower of Jesus, today we are looking at our relationship with ourselves. We dive into the three biggest questions of our generation: who am I? Where do I belong? & What is my purpose?

So often there is a gap between the life that God wants us to live and the one that we experience. Is it possible to really know God's will fir our lives? Through the teachings of Romans 12:2, we learn the power of renewing our minds to resist worldly temptations and embrace a Christ-centered future.

What does it mean to follow Jesus in our current time? We kicked off a new series exploring Paul's words in Romans 12:1 to understand the essence of being a follower, especially when Jesus isn't physically present. This journey includes daily conversations with God, heartfelt worship sessions with friends, and seeking out opportunities to serve. It may seem like a leap, but the rewarding life filled with purpose and joy that comes with it is worth it. Check out the full sermon.

We all approach friendship in different ways. What we really need is not a super-friend who can be our everything but a number of friends who stretch and support us in different ways.
