In the final phase of "The Death Spiral," we see how the rejection of God’s truth leads to destruction in relationships with both God and others. This week, Andres explores the beautiful reality that God wants to renew the way we think and how we see the world. When we invite God to reveal the areas of our lives where we need repentance, He meets us with renewal and brings new life into the way we approach our relationships.

This week, Michael explores the differences between the Biblical worldview and the cultural view on human sexuality and gender identity. He also brings us back to the three Cs from last week, guiding us on how we should respond to emerging ideologies on sex and gender: CLARITY on God’s vision for the human race, Christ-like COMPASSION for those who are struggling, and the COURAGE to be the light of the world.

How are we, as Christ-followers, called to live out God’s vision regarding human sexuality and same-sex relationships? This week, Michael shares three guidelines (the three Cs) for approaching divisive topics in our culture: seeking CLARITY and understanding of God’s vision for humanity through His Word; treating both believers and non-believers with COMPASSION, remembering we are called to love well; and summoning the COURAGE required as the cost of following Jesus goes up.

This week, Michael takes us on a journey to understand the biblical perspective on human sexuality and how it differs from the worldview of our culture. In today's society, we often encounter the belief that any sexual activity between consenting adults is considered acceptable and normal. However, as we delve into the Bible, we discover God's divine plan for human sexuality. It's not just a set of rules but rather a loving blueprint meant to protect us from hurt and brokenness and to transform us to become more like Him.

To fully understand why the gospel is good news, we must come to terms with some uncomfortable truths about why we need the gospel in the first place. As Joel continues our series in Romans this week, we see that God reveals Himself through creation and that humanity rejects the truth of His eternal power and divine nature. When we embrace the truth about who God is, we gain a better picture of who we are and the life He has for us.

We weren’t made for isolation; we were created to do life together, challenging and encouraging one another as we pursue Jesus and His calling for our lives. This week, as we enter a new season of Life Groups, Joel teaches how relationships are a blessing and a challenge that help us to grow in spiritual maturity.

God has a plan for your life to lead you from where you are now into greater freedom. Michael shares a critical spiritual principle called “the dimmer switch.” It’s the reality that listening to the Holy Spirit and following his guidance ultimately leads you into more light, and choosing to reject the Spirit’s voice leads you further into darkness.

Before we can learn how to be made right with God, we have to learn why we need the gospel in the first place. This past weekend, Michael shared that our problem as a human race is ultimately spiritual… as humans, our biggest problem is that we reject the truths of God in exchange for earthly pursuits.

How much of God's transformational power are you currently experiencing in your life? Michael continues our series, “The Gospel of God”, this week with five key concepts we will be unpacking throughout this series. We also learn that as we move from belief to trust in Jesus the power of the gospel is unleashed in our lives leading us into victory over sin, igniting new passions, setting new priorities, granting new freedom, and creating lasting life change.

God calls us to listen and follow individually, but also collectively as the body of Christ. There is nothing ordinary about the church… it is a supernatural community that is holy, universal, and on a mission. Because of this, we should take our church gatherings seriously and use them to “wrestle” both with God and fellow believers.
